The Last Immortal Reviews

Before the broadcast, I saw many people complaining about the sound issue, but after watching it, I found it quite adorable! Zhao Lu Si portrays a newly hatched egg, a cute Karadon just born.
Shouldn't a newly hatched character be cute instead of having a cold and domineering voice right from the start? Moreover, Zhao Lu Si uses three different vocal tones in this drama, changing according to the character's mood and situation.
Early on, Ah Yin is cute, while later on, Feng Yin becomes indifferent. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with it, and there's not much to criticize.

In addition, I have to say that it's been a while since I watched a light-hearted fantasy drama with map exploration and monster fighting.
It's refreshing and has a lot of humorous moments. The main focus is on a pair of weak but adorable couples. Haha, it made me laugh so much. I highly recommend it!

The last time I watched a xianxia drama was Xianxia 3 and Ancient Sword. It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of immersive cultivation-based xianxia, where a group of people team up to fight monsters and explore the world.
The special effects are also well-done, showing that the drama was made with care. They even incorporated intangible cultural heritage and the costume design is beautiful. Zhao Lu Si's portrayal of the Water Condensation Beast, A Yin, is incredibly adorable.
It's really addictive to watch. Later on, the female ghost A Yin and Feng Yin have different vocal tones. Feng Yin's mature voice is really pleasant to listen to. The OST in the drama is also of high quality and sounds amazing. This drama, Shen Yin, is definitely worth watching!

After watching "Starry Sky Brilliance," my fondness for Zhao Lu Si skyrocketed. I recently came across a mysterious trailer on TikTok, which piqued my interest. So, I decided to give the first four episodes a try. The initial setup of the mystery is completely different from the popular fantasy dramas out there.
Finally, there's a drama that doesn't have a strong protagonist or just one dominant force. It feels like it's been years since I last watched a fantasy drama where both the male and female leads were initially "useless." The last one I remember was "Chinese Paladin 3." The subsequent plot seems to involve the four main characters embarking on an adventure, exploring maps, fighting monsters, and leveling up.
Throughout this journey, they will experience friendship and love. Personally, I really enjoy stories with obvious character growth. The setup of the male and female leads in this mysterious world is intriguing. The female lead hatches from an egg and is a small water spirit, while the male lead is a lazy and gluttonous scion.
However, both of them have hidden secrets and identities. I've always believed that the most captivating aspect of a TV drama is creating a sense of contrast. The fact that the small water spirit turns out to be a phoenix and the lazy disciple of Daze Mountain possesses the power of chaos is quite intriguing.
I'm really looking forward to how their identities will be unveiled in the subsequent plot.

It's a perfect match for dinner and a happy indulgence for couch potatoes. The special effects are exceptional, and the costumes are stunning with vibrant colors that correspond to each character. The plot moves at a brisk pace, without dragging or getting muddy.
The female lead shines, delivering a clean and decisive performance right from the first episode. Every girl looks beautiful in her own way, a treat for my eyes. The Empress is gentle and warm, which really strikes a chord with me. As for the male lead, he's truly useless, either getting beaten up or on his way to getting beaten up.

One thing I love the most is the amazing music, especially that song by Wang Su Long (Victor Wong). It complements the storyline perfectly, and I'm completely hooked. I'll definitely keep following this drama.

Shen Yin" takes the audience into a world of mystery and adventure with its stunning visuals and captivating storyline. The characters of Gu Jin and Feng Yin are vividly portrayed, and their growth journeys are touching, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating and invested in their stories.
The special effects are well-crafted, and the magical battles are captivating, keeping viewers glued to the screen. Each battle brings surprises and thrills. The plot is full of ups and downs, with suspenseful cliffhangers that leave viewers on the edge of their seats, and every episode is filled with surprises and tension.
Zhao Lu Si's transformation in the fantasy drama is impressive, perfectly capturing the characteristics of the character and showcasing a different side of Zhao Lu Si to the audience.

The fantastical world setting, rich and colorful plot developments, grand and captivating scenes, intriguing storylines, and the twisted and mysterious character journeys are all reasons why "Shen Yin" captivates the audience.
It showcases the beauty of the East through a fantasy mythology, and shines a light on the hidden charm of traditional Chinese culture. Behind the light-hearted comedy, it conveys positive social energy and the right values, making it a rare xianxia drama.
Especially notable is Zhao Lu Si's portrayal of Ah Yin and Feng Yin. What surprised me the most was the transformation of her lines from the female ghost to Ah Yin and then to Feng Yin. From a cute and innocent water spirit baby to the majestic and confident Princess Feng Yin, Zhao Lu Si designs different vocal tones for them based on their growth stages, which makes it particularly relatable.
When watching Ah Yin, I see her as a little goose, and when watching Feng Yin, I see her as my husband. She truly is a talented young actress. Moreover, her characters are so empathetic. Her smiles and crying scenes are incredibly infectious, giving life to Ah Yin and Feng Yin.
"Shen Yin" has become my favorite go-to drama now. Highly recommended! ????

The Godly Disguise is finally airing! I rushed to watch it the moment it premiered! After watching the first four episodes, I have a general understanding of the storyline.
It starts with the birth of the Fire Phoenix, which unexpectedly leads to the dispersal of her fairy fate. Then, the Water Spirit Beast, Ah Yin, hatches from an egg...
The plot has a good pace, and Zhao Lu Si's performance is incredibly lively and natural. Especially when Ah Yin cooks in ancient style, she is just too adorable!
Seeking revenge when wronged and never compromising oneself—such an admirable attitude towards life! It seems there will be a storyline where the characters form a small team and embark on adventures, which I'm really looking forward to!

The special effects and production quality are amazing, oh my, everyone should go watch it! It's so good, I can't get enough of it.

The female lead, Zhao Lu Si, plays a phoenix named Feng Qiwu Tong.
During a rebirth encounter, the male lead Yuan Qi causes some trouble, resulting in the failure of the female lead's rebirth and leaving only a wisp of soul.
When the male and female leads meet again, they embark on a journey to help the female lead find the Immortal Essence and restore her phoenix form. Along the way, they make friends, experience the human world, and venture into the demon realm.
The early part is filled with joy and humor. It's a fresh setting of immortals venturing into the world! The story is interesting, and the ensemble cast has great chemistry.
I love watching it.

The capital of fetishizing ugliness has come out to praise their greasy, uneducated, lacking character, and talentless idol, who is nothing more than a three-zero product. This affected accent can't hide the fact that she's a typical "too much" girl.
Ha ha, is she mentally challenged? How old is she and still acting this way? It's nauseatingly artificial, lacking acting skills, lacking good looks, and even having an extremely terrible character.
Such a "too much" girl should not be allowed to tarnish the reputation of women. I suggest she goes back to the drawing board for a complete makeover. And those capital forces that forcibly promote her will soon face financial ruin and the wrath of the audience for feeding them garbage.
Green tea, get banned from the entertainment industry, you toxic tumor. Roll away quickly with your cult-like fans, and may you face the consequences for the wrongs you've done.

The Heavenly Emperor can't uphold his grandeur. It's another story of immortals with the title of longevity falling in love and getting caught up in misunderstandings for fame and fortune.
It's all about indulging in worldly pleasures and entertaining the common people. Misunderstandings after misunderstandings, and every day it's the supporting female characters taking the blame for others.
Zhao Lu Si, just like in "Can't Hide Secretly," has sticky lines. Even when I have a fever of 39℃, I can speak clearly, so why does she have this effect in her normal state?
Is she hungry? Or is it to appear more delicate and innocent like a little white rabbit?

Please stop making fantasy idol dramas. They have become a comfortable cash cow in the domestic entertainment industry, right? Damn, they're so ugly. The special effects look like they're from centuries ago, and those titles for the immortals are cringe-worthy!
It's just a bunch of dramas where popular celebrities play house. The ones suffering are us, the audience. This shitshow lacks acting skills, lacks a decent script, but it's got marketing and blowing smoke up people's asses.
This is how Chinese TV dramas have been continuously going downhill. I'm fucking sick of these popular celebrities and lousy scripts, not to mention the brain-dead fans who worship them!

No matter what, no matter how much we criticize, there will always be an audience for these kinds of dramas. Capitalists will always exploit popularity and churn out cookie-cutter historical and idol dramas, going all out to make money.
It's an era where popularity reigns supreme!

We need to understand that these dramas lack substance and artistic value. They're just tools for capital to make money!

It's super amazing! Our little A Yin is only one year old, but her values are already so upright. When she just transformed, she was incredibly cute. She started babbling even before learning to speak properly, haha. As she grows up, her voice becomes more mature, and Zhao Lu Si's character design is really good.
We're already six episodes into the show, and it's really good. The four-person team has already gathered, and this drama is different from previous fantasy dramas. It's all about girls pursuing their careers. A Yin, the female lead, has been determined to cultivate and strengthen the Water Nymph tribe.
It's really interesting. And that peacock, even though it's villainous, it's also for the sake of their clan. Including Yan Shuang, a woman like an eagle, the girls in this drama are really amazing. ???????? Although the male lead caused trouble in the early stages, making people angry, the current plot development is still good.
Both the male and female leads have matured, and there are no misunderstandings. That's the best part. ????????

I'm a clear fan of Zhao Lu Si, coming over from "Brilliant Starry Sky" fandom. Now, let's talk about this drama. I've watched the first 5 episodes, and the special effects are indeed impressive.
It's evident that a lot of money was spent on it. This is the first time I'm watching a drama with this male lead, and at first, I found it a bit hard to accept because I've seen handsome guys like Song Jiang and the Ancestor Bird in Korean dramas.
But as I watched more, I got used to it and found him quite handsome. There's a bit of that supernatural element that I initially saw in Kim Go Eun's dramas. Lu Si's makeup is beautiful, and the dialogue is constantly improving.
Although there were misunderstandings in the first few episodes, I saw from the previews that they would be quickly resolved, so it didn't make me too angry. It's still worth giving it a try and watching!

I rarely watch fantasy dramas, but I've finished "Eternal Love" and "Ashes of Love." Neither of them hooked me, but I kept watching because of the plot and acting. "Lost Love in Time" falls into the same category.
Currently, there's no couple that captures my interest!

At the beginning, when the male lead misunderstood and developed feelings for the second female lead, I surprisingly didn't feel angry. Maybe it's because I see the female lead as career-oriented, and I actually hope she focuses on her career instead.
The male lead fluctuates between handsome and unattractive, depending on the angle. His character is a bit silly but not bad. He appears innocent and kind-hearted, so I don't get too angry watching him. The female lead is adorable from the moment she's born, but I prefer her when she's in the early stages of growth, experiencing her first taste of love.
She's so good at loving others, and when the background music matches the scene, it's truly heartwarming.

The visual effects have bright and vibrant colors, although at times they appear a bit gaudy. But every episode has beautiful moments.
I particularly loved the opening scene—the Daze Mountain setting is ethereal, and the atmosphere of the male and female leads cultivating together at night is incredibly romantic. The scene where they make wishes is also beautiful.

I haven't watched this kind of drama before. I just happened to watch it for less than ten minutes when my wife accidentally clicked on it (she quickly closed it with disgust).
I can only describe this kind of thing as artificial and poorly made. In those few minutes, I witnessed the worst special effects, exaggerated makeup, and nauseating dialogue.
Yes, I have no interest in or even a dislike for these palace and immortal dramas, but I can usually tolerate them for a short while to accompany my wife.
However, this one truly elicited such an irresponsible evaluation from me. But I genuinely mean it, the visual aesthetics in this drama feel like a desecration of Chinese civilization.

Alright, venting complete!

Without mentioning the production assembly line, without commenting on the male lead's appearance with just a single glance, and without delving into Zhao Lu Si's questionable makeup throughout, let's focus on a simple dialogue.
The Ghost Lord tells the female lead that several years ago, a female immortal caused a great battle between immortals and demons due to her involvement with a fox spirit.
She ultimately died at the hands of the male lead, and since then, he has been visiting this place often to search for a trace of her lingering soul. Upon hearing this, the female lead shows no concern for the severity of the battle or the right and wrong of the past.
Instead, she laments, "If she was willing to kill him with her own hands, why should she continue to be infatuated? If I were that female immortal, I would have chosen to never see him again, even in life and death." Curious about this dialogue, I searched the original novel and discovered that the female lead's thoughts were simply, "Do I truly love him?
If I really love him, how could I let her soul disperse and turn into ashes?" Why resort to unnecessarily torturous adaptations for the sake of torment?

The male lead's acting is so poor that I didn't even recognize him. I was shocked when I saw the cast list. He does fine in modern dramas and even historical palace dramas, but in this fantasy martial arts drama, from his looks to his acting, it's simply unbearable.
That "sad" scene at the beginning in the River of Oblivion, my immediate reaction was "Where's the remote? Let me change the channel." The overall acting skills of the cast in this drama are subpar.
The script and dialogue are quite simple, and their interpretation of the lines is shallow. The action scenes and positioning are also half-hearted.

As expected, domestic historical puppet dramas are the most feudalistic. In the first episode, they immediately started emphasizing the matching social status of the male and female leads. Out of all the people in the world, only their family backgrounds are the most suitable for each other.
I can only laugh at that. Then the female lead, after hesitating and dawdling, didn't give birth and ended up half-dead. She became enemies with the male lead again, following the clichéd trope of a bickering couple.
It's quite fitting for the squeaky voice that Zhao Lu Si forcefully puts on. The male second lead had too little screen time in the first four episodes. I'll wait and see how it develops later, but it's barely palatable for now.

What a ridiculous plot! I got bored and decided to take a peek. Why did they start with a stupid male lead instead of the aloof and cool master? I may be inexperienced and have low powers, but I enjoy pretending to be the master's disciple and causing trouble everywhere, only to be beaten up by small fry.
And of course, there's always a malicious second female lead stirring up trouble. The characters' motivations are all confusing. Each immortal is foolish and materialistic, constantly comparing themselves to others. No one guards important places, and the antagonist comes and goes as they please.
When will these outdated and shallow fantasy martial arts dramas, where supporting characters exist solely to advance the main characters' romance, get an update? It's 2024, and even ordinary people aren't this foolish anymore.
Why are immortals still as dull as pigs? It's so childish I can't help but laugh.

The first episode was unbearable for someone like me who can't stand stupidity... It's 2023, and we still have this cliché plot of recognizing the benefactor.
And casually saying that they want to show the Fire Phoenix Jade to someone without any consequences? At first, I thought this idiot didn't know the importance of the Fire Phoenix Jade, so I reluctantly endured it.
But then I found out that he actually knew, which made it even more unbearable... And the acting is terrible. The reactions after causing trouble are ridiculously fake.
They can't even cry properly. In the second episode, when he got whipped by the heavens, an inexplicable background music started playing... Really, thanks...
Isn't this something he should be enduring? They made it seem like he's so righteous... I've never seen such a dumb male lead character. They treat the audience like idiots.
No acting skills, and the male lead's face is nothing special. He acts stupid in the drama as well, with zero chemistry. At the beginning, I couldn't even recognize who the male lead was.
Yan Yuan and Li Yun Rui both seemed more like the male lead than him. Put this brainless drama on a children's channel. Adults who watch it feel like banging their heads against the wall.
Giving it even one point is too much.
