predictable change of sidecharacter/ignorant maincharacter

I dont know where to start with that one honestly.

the change of the character from Situ Ling/Chao Yuan is really predictable in my eyes.
Because of the female lead Ming Yi and her ignorant behaviour - she was cold, distant and didnt even try to understand her so called friend. Of course at some point everyone would turn around.
why they didnt came up with another solution. Even at the very end she just stared at him cold and distant. Just kick him down finally and you are done with him so my thoughts.
And with that I was not really happy about the ending Im honest. I dont want every character to have a good ending but what was that? A bad character developement on one side and a stating walk on the other side. But we are to believe in a really good love and enemy to lover thing. Where was the friendship? You cant say you are friend with someone and treat him like a nobody. Also from the empress and the others? At early point he was Situ Ling and nobody asked about what happened with him or why he turned or did bad things? Also, the little fox, where did she go? New llife? No revenge? Would have been a fine ending she would have appeared at the very end or at least made a "kill to save him" movement.

I dont kow, I have mixed feelings. Characteres were great, without any doubt and as mentioned character developement good on one side but on others it wasnt.
Costumes are awesome and the special effects too.

Searching for a plot

Despite trying really hard, I was able to watch three episodes. It's not a series that appeals to me. Secondly, I couldn't find a plot. Despite the excellent cast, good direction, and good visuals, the series didn't appeal to me. I think I couldn't adapt to it because I'm a middle-aged man. It seems like a series that might appeal to young people, especially young girls. I compared it to "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy," starring Esther Yu. I abandoned that series halfway through. I couldn't watch it. It felt like a children's series. I couldn't make sense of it. This one is the same. They're not exactly the same, don't get me wrong, I just compared them. I have no complaints about the actors. The direction and scenes are fine. It's a very colorful, harmonious series with dancing, flashy performances, and dazzling outfits. But the plot isn't there for me. I couldn't understand it, or at least it wasn't. It didn't appeal to me. I couldn't get into the plot. Anything could happen. I couldn't watch it. I forced myself. I watched three episodes, but it didn't work. It just didn't appeal to me. I didn't know what I was watching. I couldn't find it. I don't want to stop people from watching. Enjoy watching.

Anticipated drama falls a bit short

This was one of the most highly anticipated dramas of 2025, and while this wasn't a bad drama by any means, the fact that it was so highly anticipated means that it does end up falling bit short of my expectations.

Production-wise, everything was visually beautiful, from the costumes to the makeup to the set. However, it was definitely lacking plot-wise for me as the storyline felt overly shallow with a huge focus and screentime on villains that end up being killed way too easily. Oftentimes, side or background characters had to explain and reiterate plot points to the audience, which made everything less impactful when they don't trust the audience to understand something without explicitly saying it out loud. The identity reveal for the FL was also pretty anticlimactic considering how much they've built it up.

I think it's more of a failure of the writers when some scenes don't quite connect with the audience as much as it could, but I would say the two leads did a very good job with what they were provided, especially for intimate scenes. The leads truly had great chemistry and played off of each other very well, and was honestly what made the drama an enjoyable watch despite any plotty shortcomings.

This is a drama that would be perfect for beginners to xianxia, but maybe not so much for regular watchers as it reuses a lot of tropes.

Side note: Absolutely loved the OST, but especially that one main running theme song sung by HMH

Excessive and forced

I really wanted to like this series particularly because the male lead does have a good look for the roles that he plays. Unfortunately, I also dropped his other series (Fangs of Fortune) and now I'm also dropping this one. And after this, he seems pretty one-note or maybe he just isn't being cast well.

The pacing is really slow and the ML/FL interactions are just ridiculously overdone. The whole staring at each other closely in the eyes and excessive seduction scenes this early on are likely for fans who like these actors for their looks. The main plot hints towards something more interesting but definitely not enough to bypass the over-dramatizations. Too bad as the rest of the cast have been decent but it plunders if the ML/FL aren't impressive.

Solid Start with gripping storyline

Such a strong first episode! The storytelling and pace are perfect and easy to follow. The Female lead is battling the Male lead in a tournament that has a great effect on her city/clan (not sure) and looses, becoming poisoned which could become fatal. We then learn that She was secretly disguised as a man using a form of cloaking to hide her identity so the male lead does not know what she truly looks like. She now embarks on a mission to gain revenge and obtain the antidote to the poison that is slowly killing her.

This is a very relatable storyline, the FL trained for years for the fight and was defeated due to the dirty tactics by her opponent who used poison and dragged her into another realm where she was weaker in order to ensure his win. I feel the same frustration towards him as she does and I'm rooting for her to teach him a lesson and smack him into next century! I am also interested in how the romance will develop as this is enemies to lovers.

Meu novo vício do momento!

Estou esperando por esse lançamento há meses, e não é de se espantar. O elenco está entregando atuações e química impecáveis!
Uma trama que mistura xianxia e wuxia, com sedução, interesses mútuos e rivalidades.
Hou Ming Hao como Ji Bo Zai foi uma ótima escolha; ele é extremamente talentoso e lindo, nossa! Lu Yu Xiao como Ming Yi é, como se não houvesse escolha melhor para o papel, uma atriz maravilhosa no jogo de sedução e manipulação, como vimos em My Journey to You.
Eu já conhecia os atores coadjuvantes, e isso me dá uma sensação de conforto e familiaridade, sabendo que eles interpretarão bem seus papéis.
Mesmo que o drama ainda não tenha acabado, sei que não vou me arrepender de dar nota 10! ❤️❤️

AWALNYA COBA-COBA EH BENERAN SERU

definisi enemies to lovers yang paling GONG, mereka diawal sama² naruh curiga, sama² nipu dan ngga saling jujur hal ini juga yang akhirnya ngebuat mereka kepisah tapi juga bikin mereka balik lagi.
dan lagi bukan hanya ji bozai sm ming yi yang pengembangan karakternya bagus tapi pemeran pendukungnya pun juga bagus kayak ngga maksain, apalagi villain² disini tuh semuanya awalnya baik dan keadaan aja yg bikin mereka jadi harus jahat, mereka ngga ujug² dapet poin berperan jahat tapi mereka jahat karena ada alasannya. Pokoknya kalo lihat pasti ngerti apa yg aku maksud. Apalagi Situ Ling, udah kata gua mah lu ama gua aja dah, bercandyaaa😂😭
dan plot twist nya itu lohhh bestieee😭 menyalaa🔥🔥✊🏻
