The main detective Jian Bu Zhi was dubbed and so was Ming Yue. Most of the cast dubbed themselves - Zhao Wo Huan…
Thank you for the info! I didn't know Baidu listed the voice actors too so that's good to know. Jian Bu Zhi's voice was so familiar but I couldn't recall where I had heard it before. Now I see it's probably from Legend of the Demon Cat that I've seen recently.
It's set in the same universe, but a long time before the TMOPB events. The two stories do not share any characters,…
IIRC, Si Ming is a title passed down from god to god when they assume that position. I think they say this Si Ming's real name at one point in this drama. So it's two different gods that shared the same title in different eras, they're not the same character.
Lu Ke ended up with Zhang Mang while Shen Si Yi only got together again with Yao Yuan in the last ep.
Thank you! I'm on episode 21 and was afraid Lu Ke and Zhang Mang wouldn't be endgame and she would go back with Cheng Nan in the end. Now I'm much more tempted to continue.
Ancient Detective really deserves the title of most underrated drama of 2020. Tight and solid script, it’s always about the main characters here, no time wasted on useless subplots or side characters, no fillers. This is how all dramas should be. The cinematography and the lighting are big IP drama-level, not something you'd expect from a low-budget web drama like this. It looks sooo beautiful. My only complaint lies with the acting that sometimes is a little weak, but I believe this young and mostly unknown cast did their best. Praying for a second season!
Can anyone tell me (using the spoiler function please) who ends up with who at the end? I'm trying to figure out if I still want to continue watching and I don't want to waste my time on CPs I don't like lol
Can anyone tell me if this movie and the other one with Chen Kun are in any way related? Or is it a coincidence that two movies based on the same IP are coming out at the same time?
I started this drama mainly because it's produced by the same team that made Hikaru no Go and has many of the same actors. I'm not a huge fan of the contemporary romance/workplace genre but so far I'm liking it more than I expected (I'm on episode 8). It's really well-made, the plot is not dragging and the acting is solid. Not sure why people expected it to be GL though, since they never advertised it as such. One thing I find confusing is– how can it be considered even a "loose adaptation" of Gossip Girl? There's nothing in this drama that reminds me of GG so far.
guys is this show filmed in Hangzhou? it looks really familiar
Yes! It was filmed in Hangzhou during summer and it was so hot that the actor playing Chu Ying even had a heat stroke at one point because his costume had too many layers

I think it's mostly because it came out at a wrong time when gods-falling-in-love dramas were starting to be lose popularity (everything moves so fast in Cdramaland). TMOPB was a sort of novelty and the trendsetter. But if someone is approaching this genre now, I'd recommend Love and Destiny as the best in its genre over all the others.
I love stories with unreliable narrators and series of twists. This is one of those dramas that just keep you hooked until the last frame. Perfect number of episodes, high technical quality, well-written script, great music and great cast (Angelababy is decent in this and has a rather "silent" secondary role. Don't be discouraged by her presence.)
I expected a standard thriller/murder mystery going into it, but I also got a series that tackles important social issues like abuse and domestic violence under a very fresh and progressive lens for c-dramas. Also, women are the central focus and the real MVPs here. Highly recommended!
This new rating (currently 7.9) is a travesty. This drama is phenomenal and one of the best of 2020, as demonstrated by its high Douban rating. It seems to me that this new rating system is negatively affecting the high quality dramas that deserve more recognition like Winter Begonia and is only working in favor of the crappy ones.
