Dare I say the best casting in a while??
OMG! I decided to watch this drama for Cheng Xiao as she is my favorite actress, but the whole cast got me hooked. This drama had no reason to be this good. I'm at a lost for words, I legit finished this drama in like 2 days bc it's sooo addicting. Once you start watching you really cant stop. I'm sooo impressed with everything, from the casting to the acting to music and production!!! Probably the best drama I watched in 2025
Story :
The story was amazing, I love the way the producers did this drama. The story was sooo interesting. How it originally started with mr. zhuo wanting revenge at the demon lord for killing his brother and father to them working together to fight other demons and solve cases was sooo refreshing to watch. I also love all the plot twists and how each episode kept you entertained as there's always a new problem or situation, rather than a lot of dramas who extend one problem for like 3-4 episodes. I love how each character has a trouble or hardship that impacts them , making them the bad demon's target but there able to overcome them by working together. I also love that it's kind of like crime solving genre which is something i really enjoy watching. My only complaint is that they killed off a lot of characters(some of my favorite characters were killed :( ) To be honest, not every character needed to be killed but the producers and directors went through with it, which was kind of disappointing.
CGI:
The CGI was literally sooo coool. Everything looked soo real. An aspect I really enjoyed was when the demon lord used a spell that would control someone the word would faintly show up on screen which was a really cool element. The powers, to the combat scenes were amazing and felt so real. The costumes were also on point, i love how they match the vibe and aesthetic of every character.
Music :
The music was everything! I loved every song, the song Cheng Xiao sang with the actor who played cheng xiao's character's brother in the show was soo good, literally brought me to tears. Honestly one of the best soundtracks out of every drama I watched.
Acting:
The acting was really good by the cast. Let me just talk about Cheng Xiao, her acting improved soo much, she played her character perfectly and really brought the character to life. Her moves too, omg perfection. She plays the archer role and all her combat scenes were amazing. The way the director imputed her flexibility into her fighting really made her character stand out. The other actors were also so good. Hou Ming hao and Cheng Du ling had so much chemistry, also the relationship with like all the team members was so sweet. The little kid was adorable and the mountain god!! omg i could die for them, they really brought some comedic relief. Overall this cast was amazing and the directors really did a good job with everything.
Ending:
The ending was traumatic to say the least. I did not like the fact that they ended up killing of so many characters, some didn't even need to die as it really didn't do anything for the plot. But besides that the ending was bittersweet. It made me cry so much, each character lost and been through so much, and an ending like this helped a lot of characters get the closure they needed that they couldn't get when living.
Amazing drama!! Loved it, will definitely rewatch. Please support this drama as you will not be disappointed!! :)
