This drama needs a "slight and tasteful romance" tag. Zang Hai and An Tu's relationship is very well done. I hope they're not deceiving each other. From her intro, you’d expect An Tu to be a cold, bitter ice queen. Instead, she’s got a warm, playful personality.
Zang Hai and Xiang An Tu have such a fun dynamic. I always look forward to their interactions. Although a fierce warrior, An Tu is kind and sometimes playful. The bathtube scene is so great. lol
Zang Hai and Zhuang Zhi Xing became allies way too easily. Zhuang Zhi Xing was clever enough to uncover Zang Hai's true identity, but somehow misses that he's being played?
The masked man obviously invested in Zhi Nu for his hidden reasons. Is he really a friend? I doubt it. Second, showing An Tu practicing with a whip seems like a red herring. I don't think she's the one who scarred Zhi Nu's back.
Banxia has to be one of the most love-struck and bold FLs ever portrayed in a CDrama. Interestingly, her love doesn't feel weird or obsessive. It is endearing.
I’ve seen a few comments saying "The Demon Hunter’s ROMANCE" should tone down the romance and focus on the fantasy. Seriously? This is a beautifully written love story, and that romance is the heart of the show. Many of Xuan Ye and Ban Xia’s decisions are driven by their increasing love for each other. Take that away, and the whole drama falls apart. The romance isn’t just a subplot—it is the plot.
Edit: I heard AI was involved in this dumb ending. Isn't AI supposed to be smarter than humans?
