Allen Ren impressed me deeply in Miss Crow With Mr. Lizard. So here I am with my 4th Allen Ren drama. This turned out to be a gem.
Dilraba Dilmurat as spiritual master Ji Yun He and Allen Ren as merman prince Yuren Changyi prove their worth by keeping this angsty drama engrossing. The acting, not only by the leads, but by the supporting cast as well, is compelling, drawing me in to a world where supposedly upright celestial immortals try to keep unruly earth immortals in check through police-like squads composed of spiritual masters.
Ji Yun He, as one of the best spiritual masters or demon tamers in Thousand Flower Valley, is assigned to tame merman Changyi. Their love story develops amidst upheavals in the immortal realm that could have devastating effects in their world. How Ji Yun He and Changyi, along with their allies, prevent devastation is a fascinating adventure.
The writing, three-dimensional characters, sets and OST gave me vibes of my favorite cdramas Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and Ever Night 2.
