Watched this drama shortly after finishing up Arsenal Military Academy because of the same two leads, Bai Lu and Xu Kai. I loved them in AMA and I heard that this was another good drama so I decided to check it out. It was a good drama and I loved it! The plot is unique and once again, a strong female lead who is a super badass. I pretty much binge watched this drama in like less than a week on YouTube. 

I liked how the drama portrayed that not everyone in the good sect were actually good people, that they do bad things and are willing to kill innocent people. On the other hand, what was considered the bad sect were actually the good people who help others and not commit evil crimes. It was refreshing to see that because it illustrates that not everything is just black and white. Sometimes things can't simply be distinguished by just being completely right or wrong. The villains were just so unlikeable and I did not feel bad for them at all. They were so selfish and evil.

OST was not too memorable for me. It wasn't bad, but wasn't amazing. 

In the later half of the drama, especially towards the last few episodes, the editing got really messy and confusing. Like the scenes were all over the place and didn't really make sense. The last 5 minute of the drama was like WTH. They just took a previous scene from the beginning of the drama and changed the dialogue. Like why. So unfortunate because it started out so strong. The drama as it is is good, but it had so much potential to be amazing with the proper editing and ending. 

Bai Lu and Xu Kai seriously have so much chemistry together. Hope that they do more dramas together in the future. I know that there are a lot of people who ship them together too. I absolutely loved Mo Qing's devotion and unconditional love for Zhao Yao. He always only had eyes for her. Always doing things to make her happy and protecting her.

After watching the Legends, Bai Lu has definitely become one of my favorite actress. Love how she portrays the character she plays and her acting just feels very natural. Look forward to more of her dramas and hope that she will continue to gain more popularity.

 Overall, this was a great drama and I recommend it!
