I decided to watch this series (although none of my friends actually recommended it) because it's adapted from a RPG, I always love RPG genre on a game alhtough I haven't played this one. I actually glad I watched it, it has all those RPG essential, different type of characters with unique abilities, central quest which is the main story with few sub quests, different paths for each characters, and the last boss battle, lol, oh and of course friendship and love feeling all the way. The main lead is actually the most essential in any RPG and the most lovable, but somehow I didn't find it here, even if some main lead started as a whimp, most develop to be a worthy character during the quests but again I failed to find it here (maybe just me though). As I watched the series I grow more and more fond of Yuwen Tuo, both his character in the game and the cast, are just perfect. I also like the cast playing Nuwa's daughter Yu Xiao Xue, I think she really is a beauty though she surely needs to learn more about acting, this maybe her first series with important role and sadly despite her pretty face, her acting is lacking, I do wish she'll do much much better acting in her next work. Another thing that bugged me since earlier episodes is the special effects, I don't mind the fantasy creatures or realms, I just hope maybe one day with this kind of series when it comes to battle especially duel scene, they can use martial arts and only using any special effects when really necessary.
