Hi there! I'm watching the series now. I think I'm like ten episodes in. I wasn't familiar really with the books or other adaptations beforehand, though I'd heard the name floating around once or twice since I'm a shameless fujoshi and I also love wuxia.

I'm really liking the series so far. Even though I'm told the BL was cut, I appreciate that right, it does feel like the actors are aware their characters have sexual tension and are going with it. (I hope that's the case!) It's also really beautiful. Some of the special effects are kind of cheesy in comparison to modern Hollywood technology, but for the most part, it's fine. I'm absolutely nuts for all the gorgeous costumes and scenery. Aghhh I want to wear all of those clothes!

As far as the story, it does seem a little slow so far - I thought the "flashback" was going to be brief but it seems like it's the real story now, and there's a lot of episode time wasted to rather redundant, useless scenes. But I enjoy it all, because the main character is so enjoyable. Even when he's being annoying, I just can't get enough of his goofy expressions. Plus, virtually every male and female lead is absolutely gorgeous. I'm kind of getting the story, though there are a lot of names and I have trouble keeping it straight. Overall, I'm having fun, though.

I wish there was more wuxia style fighting, but it does feel like they don't have the budget for that (because they spent all their money on... clothes and scenery, I guess?) but oh well. I really am enjoying it, and am glad I finally gave it a try!

The explicit BL content was cut, but... honestly, the UST is through the roof. Lan Wangji's long, lingering looks get me every time. You can't NOT see the relationship.

Yeah, the 30 episodes of flashback is kind of tough but it's interesting and useful for understanding peoples' backstory later on. The second half of the series really changes gear though, so be prepared for that.

It's not wuxia, and that becomes evident really quickly. Some fighting scenes are better than others and I kind of wish they'd gone a little harder on that aspect, too. But everything else makes up for it, IMO.
