Side characters make me want to drop this
Side CharactersI’m only on episode 13…but just from the acting of the side characters (the disciples of Wester Sect) make me consider dropping this. I think the acting of the fl and ml are good so far, but the side characters acting sort of makes me not enjoy this as much.
Additional note: I dunno if it’s just my streaming app, but the voices of the characters aside from the main leads sound sort of echoey and not professional sounding. This isn’t negative whatsoever, just a side note making the show sound kind of odd since it feels as if i’m watching a behind the scenes or something.
Everything else is fire and i’ll prolly watch this show till the end just bc im curious how this will play out.

Give this show a chance
Spoilers in the third and fourth paragraph! Also my opinion for those who have not watched this show yet in the last paragraph (no spoilers there)Okay, at first I started watching this show around january and i dropped it at the second or third episode because it was kind of boring. But after a month, all that was recommended was this damn show so I decided to give it another chance given the positive reviews and because I had a week break from school.
There’s many plot twists in this show, so rewatching would be boring at some points since you already know why some parts occurred, but mainly worthy of rewatch. I love Shen Dus actor here, I came from love game in eastern fantasy so his personality change was def smth. The female lead i have never watched, so this was my first time but she was super good at her role and beautiful as well.
I love how the ml slowly softened up to the fl, their romantic interactions and kissing scenes were amazing, as well as the times where things didn’t go as well such as the time where shen du had to divorce yang xing. I lowkey became furious as him but it had also made me realize just how well these actors played their parts. The part where she stabbed him made me super satisfied, and that was the moment where we got to known that she knew what he was up to.
I loved the fl personality and how smart she is, given that she is a detective after all. She stayed smart throughout the whole show which I was not expecting given some other shows which were disappointing. But overall this one did not disappoint whatsoever, I loved how smart she was and the fact that she was willing to take sm risks for her and the people around her.
I absolutely loved the side characters, as they brought a lot of comedic attitude. My fav was Pan Chi tbh, I liked how much he helped out and the fact that he was Chi Chi. The death of yun que and the yilang ren was where I had my first tears for this show, they definitely did not deserve to die but it was beautiful seeing their relationship.
In short, give this show a chance you won’t regret it whatsoever. It was one of the first historical c dramas without the fantasy and powers that I actually watched all throughout without going on my phone lol. The plot was super smooth and I understood what was happening. I also apologize is there’s any typos here as I had just finished the show and was so excited to write a review, which I had never done before for any other c dramas. (I have watched alot and this one definitely impressed me)
