Review by magnoliacream

It took a long time for me to get emotionally attached to this drama (about 20 episodes), but it was well worth the wait. This is one of the most heart-wrenching, tear-jerking cdramas I've watched, sacrifice for the loved one being a main motivator for several characters. The love story between two of the four true gods is masterfully told, spanning over 60,000 years. I love how the characters grew - Bai Jue (played impressively by the gorgeous Xu Kai) from an "Ice Cube" to somebody who could love so deeply he would sacrifice his life for her, and Shang Gu (played by Zhou Dong Yu) from a rather spoiled weak goddess to a formidable one in terms of physical, spiritual and moral strength. It was gripping to find out whether the main characters could overcome a doomed destiny.
