Brings up the conspiracy theory of Reptilians
Do you think those Earth fiends are the menace from outside? They are very well our primal instincts. Most people kill to eat and survive! Even if they are not the butcher themselves. Primal instincts, from the depths of our evolution are hard to hack and avoid. If you kill these desires, you kill yourself! Like the legendary serpent guarding the Golden fleece, you have to put it in sleep! Not slaughter! How can the drama escalate without a major character's death? It's the self-sacrifice. But it's not the wisest choice.But it's not only the allegory of our hidden nature. It's an overt allusion to the mixed beasts that walk and live around us and they dominate us! The wars and shrewd businesspeople are not the result of human empathy or idealism! Please beware of the hidden race...maybe the Reptilians...Or those bunny-hounds! I never met them...but then, why would they reveal their nature? Why wage a war against them? Their inhumanity causes the human race to bleed, in a civil genocide...

Waste of good actors
I don't understand why a great actor like Chen Kun participated in this film. This is for kids. Maybe that's his goal, he feels like a father, leading by example, fighting "evil". The premise that monsters are equated to evil and then he is supposedly unbiased, only on the grounds that he is half-monster is childish. I don't care about the production, because visual effects are again, appealing to video game addicts, which I'm not. I watched reluctantly less than half of the movie, waiting for a turn of events. But it is so predictable, following all the cliches, so I dropped it.Was this review helpful to you?
Very amusing and engaging
I liked all the actors in this drama! The FL does not play the stupid girl. She is just funny and innocent after amnesia. She's alwas daring and strong. This young actress is very promising! Wang You Shuo is very elegant and with very subtle gestures he shows his feelings! 24 episodes is a wise choice for such a drama! I didn't consider dropping it at any point - the pacing was very nice. Costumes , music, story were very well executed and the aesthetics were high.Was this review helpful to you?
Awakening to love
This guy was safe before he had any emotions. The way to love is the way to sacrifice. It's like love and death are inextricably connected.I didn't like the styling at all. Hair and clothes of all the actors were horrible! Beyond dated! As if they were in the 80s.
I started watching the Japanese original and I got hooked! I prefer it in many respects.

Women hitting on men
That's a very refreshing view of the music industry, where #metoo dominates the last years, as if men are always on the lookout for women to exploit. Here, we see all the female roles hitting on men! Even this innocent young girl drools over the mature musician/doctor. I like the resolution to all the romantic entanglements, where men retain their integrity! Like Masaki Suda, as well, where he doesn't end up with his elder, but supports his friend till the end. Even the female idol confesses her admiration to the younger image of the musician...Was this review helpful to you?
Allegory for the new age visualisations
We live in an era, where pop culture and mindfulness coaches urge us to achieve more than our limiting beliefs. I feel this drama is more related to the self-delusional dreams every average person makes, rather than offer a case for arguments over technology overriding our will. It's not technology that leads to mental illness. It's our high hopes and dreams and constant drive to overachieve. Statistically, most people fail in their road to overcome their socio-economic class. Competition is fierce. The only thing that matters is that some people care for us, no matter what we achieve in life. And this is portrayed excellently in Lin Yi's character, where he just cares for this lady, for years. He's not into her to gain something. And along her career, she gains friends and their support. That is the most valuable thing. A community where people care for each other. That's the final taste of this drama. I loved it! Congratulations to the crew!One more note on visualisations: People over the internet spread information on how to visualise you are "abundant" in money and love. Make vision boards with your dream house and vacation...I feel this is all crap stories that poison one's mind and detach them from reality. People in denial of their socio-economic background or "failed" loved stories. People desiring to get into mass hypnosis and forget their regrets. We watch hot C-drama actors, like this hunk Lin Yi, who might be rich, good-looking and on their rise up to popularity, and we dream meeting a guy like him. But he might have mental issues we don't know about. His everyday life might have a ton of problems. These actors might gain 1 million one day, and the next a shrewd scammer might tempt them to an ambiguous investment and lose it all! Our derailed desires and self-defeating hallucinations are the biggest danger in 2024!
