I love seeing how they grow as a demon and a demon fighter to lovers. But Jia Cheng and Zhi Ying did a great job as the second couple. However, I gotta say that Guli Nazha looked very charming in this drama, she is very charming and beautiful especially when she is in a qipao!! but still, her characters evoke a 呆/ dumb vibe (Guli Nazha should pick a better script, almost every character that she acts evokes a 呆 vibe).
I watched some of her dramas before such as Weaving a Tale of Love, and her acting did not have any improvement. Jasper Liu did a tremendous job in portraying a cold and distant yet loyal and caring man. The only thing she did was reciprocate his love only by the last few episodes of the drama, she realized everything too late. Jin Xing Jian sacrificed so much for her, but she barely did anything. She remains as weak and innocent or could I say dumb. And Ye Ming did not have any character growth at all. However, the reason for his death lacks logic and coherence. In the beginning till the end of the drama, the protagonist, Jing Xing Jian was shown as basically an unparalleled deity with strong superpowers. The protagonist and antagonist were killed easily. In addition, the climax also lacks intensity. There are a lot of cuts, jumps and weird transitions and effects that looked like this whole drama is being edited on iMovie by a high school student. And the transition was downright terrible.
The CGI does not fit into the overall drama. the mermaid, nine-tailed fox, dream eater). Even though some of the CGI is terrible and fake (e.g. From what I can see, this drama might have a high budget, and I can say that they allocated the budget well. But still, the choreographed action is still decent. As a fantasy/ supernatural drama it lacks lavish images, CGI and choreographed action scenes. However, some of the side stories are presented longer than necessary, causing uneven pacing. For instance, I find the nine-tailed fox side and xiao hu’s story touching. The background story includes the right amount of suspense, action, emotion, and comedy.
Almost every seal collected comes with a background story. There are a lot of side couples and stories in this drama. I gave this drama a 3.5 is because of its draggy storyline. The drama storyline then focuses on the journey of Jin Xing Jian finding his 8 scattered seals and Ye Ming trying to figure out her past. It all started because Ye Ming defied heaven’s will against Yu Shao Bai's death, which causes a domino effect to Jin Xing Jian, Ye Ming, and others. As a stone deity, Jin Xing Jian has “seals/stone stamps” – which is his original form.
The story started after Jin Xing Jian sealed Ye Ming’s memory and put her to sleep. Another Mary Sue Drama~ Twelve Legends narrates the story of Jasper Liu, Jin Xing Jian, a stone deity who tries to resurrect her lover, Ye Ming, a night pearl played by Guli Nazha.
