Started off ok. Went downhill at episode 8

It was decent enough at the beginning even with the long shots of cooking. Then episode 8 came and suddenly it went hot mess. Noncon kissing after he literally gave you a strong rejection. I don't blame him for punching him. Then the trope of running through the rain. I wasn't even surprised that he fell, could see it coming a mile away. I was actually laughing my butt off the whole time when he started the slow motion fall and crying while lying in the middle of the road. He's lucky he didn't get run over. Too many flashbacks to previous episode scenes. Fast forward all of them, plus eve and that manager and her ex flashbacks. Just waste of time episode filler.

i wanted to love it but i couldn't tolerate Wen Xiao anymore too much fake crying

I only started watching because of clips from instagram. not just edits by fan pages but the official iqiyi clips made it look cool. it started off good and a catchy OST song. however Wen Xiao got on my last nerve after awhile. i can handle 1 character in a demon hunting group that can't really protect themselves but 2 of them in a small group is too much, especially since damsel in distress cries all of the time. i quit because i couldn't take her fake crying anymore. if your going to cry at least make it convincing and it would make you slightly more tolerable. honestly if your going to write a placeholder to pass the restrictions of Censorship Female lead at least make her a tolerable character with an actress with good acting skills so people didn't wish that you scraped her whole character to make the show watchable or even pretty good. and figured out from the pros how to make a bromance that passes censorship. yeah all of the people that loved her might have done reviews on this platform but there's plenty of people who think that the character is poorly written and the acting by Chen Duling is subpar.

Had potential in the beginning. Also rewatch is 0 but had to mark 1

I'll start with the good. I enjoyed the investigations. I was in the mood for detective series and saw that it was like a Chinese version of Sherlock Holmes. Except this Sherlock is very money motivated versus BBC version he was driven by unique cases that peeked his interest. Though he still can draw a moral line and not do somethings just to gain money. The interactions between him and the investigator cop were good.
My biggest frustration is the supposed comedy of the sexually harassing land lady and the female reporter. Though calling her reporter is stretching it quite a bit because she's more tabloid writer then reporter. I was putting up with the behavior of the land lady at first because she was keeping it semi contained. However ep 11 the whole FL tricking her into thinking our Sherlock was interested in her and she should still know enough even in 1925 that no means no, doesn't matter what someone else says. Then FL locking him into the apartment and him being dragged away and cut to black. I pause shortly after cause this dumb b just thinks it's hilarious what she did. I don't find it comedic in shows to joke about sexual harassment and or sexual assault. Doesn't matter if the victim is male or female neither one deserve it and it's not something funny to joke about. The fact the writers do is disgusting.

Maybe if i hadn't watched the original i might have finished the show

I only watched this show because i wanted to support Saint after what he went through leaving the company he built. I didn't even know about it until i saw his Instagram post and i went to check it out. I went into it trying to not compare it to the Original Kdrama. I'm glad it's not completely the same as the original. However the biggest reason i loved Happiness Kdrama was the reason i dropped this show mid episode 7. I loved the FL in the original, she's a strong character and smart. She took the lead the majority of the time and the ML usually provided support. Unless he needed to take the lead. However this FL takes the backseat most of the time. By episode 7 i felt 0 chemistry between them. Maybe it's a really slow burn romance.

Li Cheng and Mu Ren great others no

I skipped all the scenes with Yong Jie. I would be banned from the internet if i said what i would have done if i was their friend. He wouldn't get that weak B slap that he got. He would be lucky if someone peeled me away before he left this world. I read spoilers because during watching the 1st episode i googled who is the creepy stalker. Wanted to throw hands after reading the disgusting story that is the other 2. Both of them need severe mental health care. Pscho step monster needs to be in jail along with his mother. Xing Si's father needs a beat down as well because from what i read he's a terrible father who doesn't do anything about that demon spawn drugging and R his own child.
