The Legend of ShenLi

I am not usually a fan of the fantasy genre but I started watching this and soon got hooked for 39 episodes and would have given it an 8.5 if I could. In a world of different realms alongside humans Shen Li played by the beautiful Zhao Liying is the sky king of the demon realm and to escape an impending marriage flees to the human realm. Here she meets a human and falls in love, she then has to leave and return to her realm and is imprisoned for a long time and the human dies. Later she meets Xing Yun played by Lin Geng Xing who looks just like the human but is the last of the great immortal gods. It is a great fantasy drama with amazing special effects and is very funny in parts with excellent acting and interesting side characters.

This is my first Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin Series. Actually I'm bored lately with nothing to watch after Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (cdrama) & Marry My Husband (kdrama), then I've been seeing posts and spoilers about Legend of ShenLi that their chemistry is great etc etc and I want to see the hype so I tried, and it didn't disappoint me 😫, especially I'm into matured looking male actors, even in Korean I like: Lee Min Ho, Jo In Sung, So Ji Sub, Gong Yoo, Hyun Bin, Na In Woo etc, Lin Gengxin is my cup of tea 🍵His acting styles is full of charm, expressive and funny!

I'm surprised about Zhao Liying's acting skills too, I've been hearing her name in cdrama world for a long time but It didn't get me to watch any of her dramas, just this one, she is indeed beautiful and a great actress.

I have to say this is a good movie. The story is smooth, not too bloody. The movie is quite funny, you can laugh immediately while watching. The scenes are very beautiful, especially the opening scene. The background music for the fighting scenes is great. What I like about the movie is that there are no love triangles. Right from the beginning, the movie gives the viewer a feeling that it is not just about love. More than that, it is about the responsibility of the god towards the three worlds. Every movie is great and worth watching and thinking about. Hope the movie will be known by many people.

It is the best Asian Drama TV series I watched in the last 5 years.

The plot and the narrative take unexpected but well-received turns until the very end when at the same time it keeps the interest high.

The acting is brilliant and there's a strong bond between the two main protagonists.

The soundtrack is amazing to the point that it ROCKS and that was a very welcome surprise.

The show starts with a little slow pace but peaks fast after a few episodes.

If I have to be a little bit critical is the streaming and sound's quality it's poor.

Will we have a sequel? I certainly hope and I certainly can't wait.
