As a popularity harvester, fairy tale dramas have never left the audience's field of vision.

Highlight 1: Growth-oriented characters.
Usually in this kind of fairy tale dramas with male protagonists, the male protagonists are set to have extraordinary talents and extraordinary status, but in this drama, it is exactly the opposite.

Point 2: The complexity of human nature

As a fairy tale drama, each character has a distinct personality, so casting is very important. And the cast of this show is all capable.
ranks first, Yang Yang.
Although Yang Yang's acting skills in "You Are My Human Firework" have been controversial, in terms of appearance, Yang Yang's performance is almost stable.
Whether it is the aerospace designer Yu Tu in " You Are My Glory " or the soldier Yan Poyue in " Special War Glory ", Yang Yang can capture the character's temperament just right.
In the new drama, Yang Yang, who has returned to the costume drama track, has also returned to the peak of his appearance. Han Li, whom he plays, is tough, smart and courageous. Han Li in the trailer of

Veteran drama star Jin Shijie’s acting skills are impeccable. In
" silently kills ", he played Fang Juezhong, who turned a blind eye to the bullying on campus and became a promoter of the tragedy.
In the new drama, Jin Shijie plays Doctor Mo, Han Li's master. He has white hair and a long beard, and looks like a fairy.
But this character is not what he appears to be. He accepted Han Li as his disciple because he wanted to seize him and maintain his own skills. Such a complex role as
should be given to an experienced actor like Jin Shijie.
ranked fourth, Li Naiwen.
Li Naiwen, a powerful actor, has also played prime supporting roles in many domestic dramas in recent years.

03 Conclusion
The fairy tale dramas in the past two years have repeatedly overturned, and the problems exposed are very obvious. The first thing about
is the homogenization of the plot. The plot and characters are all old-fashioned, nothing new and boring.
Secondly, it lacks the core. Nowadays, many fairy tale dramas feature ancient puppets in the name of fairy tales, but ignore the cultivation of immortality and even more neglect of chivalry. The spiritual core of hard work and growth and caring for the common people that should be included in fairy tale dramas is ignored.
But this "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality" completely avoids these problems, and the plot has both content and depth.
Once this drama is aired, it will definitely bring the fairy drama out of the haze and write a new legend of the fairy drama.
