Drama Digest 

Tange, the cultivator, Jiang Zhao Yun’s sword, leads her to an unknown and unconventional village, Changshui Village, where she meets and interacts with a mysterious woman, A-Ze. She is the first one to notice something fishy in the village, and asks Jiang Zhao Yun to investigate with her. They discover the truth behind the happenings in Changshui Village which was related to demons. They always believe demons are evil, but they also realise that humans can be malicious too. They agree to fix the situation for the villagers.

The Feel-Good Part 

The friendship shown between Jiang and A-Ze is very pure and intentional. They both support and care for each other and have always been on each other’s side when the times have been negative for them. Jiang was in a wrong spot and wanted love and attention for surviving and thriving in his life when suddenly A-Ze came and changed her life. Being challenging and successful didn’t come in the way of them being deep-rooted, and attached to their loved ones, the villagers of Changshui Village. It is a beautiful story.

The Disappointing Factor 

The story becomes meaningless and boring at a certain limit when the scene between Jiang and A-Ze becomes repetitive and dull. It is absurd to have and it also doesn’t make sense. The acting and production could’ve been better with more characters and more scenarios to show. The series is concise, and doesn’t succeed in giving the show complete closure, and it feels incomplete to provide less screen time. The show does get dreadful and unsatisfactory at some parts, which is unacceptable when a show has such a lovely story.

In-Depth Analysis 

This story showcases the real and actual life of a young woman dealing with many family and personal problems, where she is stuck in her life and its issues. All the highs, lows, struggles, and pain is shown in the series. While Jiang is coming into new life patterns, this segment portraying her pains, rushes and intimidating moments look real and honest. Her lifetime of living with A-Ze due to this is also highlighted, where the usual struggles and pain is shown nicely. Despite having a tough time dealing with her life issues, she always keeps her head high and lives a life being positive and optimistic.

Star Power 

The actors, whether main or supporting, are doing a great job in showcasing the emotions of the characters. They seem to have good chemistry, and there are no push and pull scenes and no such mean characters, which changes the plot twists and creates no drama. Both the main characters had their charm. While Jiang is more meek and shy, tired with her life at present and wishes to run away with her only help, her Sword, Tange, while A-Ze is a bold, confident and energized tough woman determined to help Jiang succeed in her life. The character development works for the plotline.

Overall Opinion 

A friendship story that inspires the audience to make best friends. A worthwhile watch!
