the vengeance for the 5th buddy was included in my comment. I still think that wasn't something normal people would do. Their loyalty is something else. Their results may have been messed up, but that's not a death sentence.

there's love between two characters in their past, but not much skinship is shown, it's more platonic lingering and grief.

Indeed. A true human-viper.

It lets us wonder if we missed something with the DID

I think that Zhi Bai's friends' loyalty was a bit unrealistic. They dedicated their youth (10 years is a lot!) to just the vengeance for their friends and did nothing else?! That's not something one easily does for a loved one, let alone academy friends or sense of justice. Felt a bit like an anime or plot convenience.

This reminded me of the j-dorama of 2015 called Ouroboros. Both are very sad and have protagonists consumed with vengeance. Overall I liked it a lot, although at times it was too overdramatic and idealistic.

If you think that some things are strange or seem wrong at the beginning just wait. I was about to comment that some things didn't make sense, but there's an explanation!

The mind palace is so cool. Gives Sherlock vibes (although I'm not a big fan of the BBC version). In fact they even talk about detective Sherlock later in the drama!

btw if you liked the theme of the finale, I recommend watching the series DEVS that also has a "villain" doing a similar thing with the worlds, but instead of magic he uses science (if you've fished you know what I mean).

P.P.S.: they totally forgot about the tiger at some point and it was nowhere to be seen. Maybe too expensive to add (it's made entirely in CG and it takes time to animate the movement and add in the video in post XD)

The overall sense of boredom stayed for me till the end. The villains kinda disappointed, felt cartoonish. I've read someone said they're Team Rocket level and I agree XD. There are some reviews I agree almost with everything said by (so have nothing interesting to add to what they already wrote): check @Crazy about Asian dramas, @jaeshin, @MyTypeIsDangerous , @Moondae22

Overall I like the message of the drama (the characters realize that the most important thing is to cherish the time they have with their loved ones, and not things like: the material wealth, eternal life alone&bored, power and ambition basically) and the finale was fair and sweet even for some grey characters. Recommended if you like the cast and "same love in multiple lives/incarnations" trope and tsunderes. ^^'

the fact that now he's the one who lost his memories makes it a bit spicier

Just reached 3/4 of the drama. It follows a lot of xianxia tropes (the downside of watching many of them is starting to see many similarities I guess) and has very little original ideas, making it a bit predictable and boring. The part where she was just a pupil took like 20 eps and was slow aside for some scenes that progressed the plot. Felt like a filler. Only the main characters (so basically 5) have a story and personality, which is not unusual, but I was hoping to see more interesting characters even if we don't know their history, instead we have one-dimensional npc students and servants ect. The acting is good and there are likable characters, so hoping for a nice ending here. The tiger is the cutest, they better not kill him. P.S. I want to ride a dragon too (literally) +_+

He's playing a demon lord in Love of the Divine Tree, so you're right about the villainous face hahahaH

Probably her parents knew too...

Had in mind to ask my bf to watch it together for a romantic netflix & chill night... Let's say we'll watch something else instead. Too bad because I like Kim Ji Won's acting.

Ick

Who else will wait the season 2 to finish before binge watching everything together?
