I saw on Viki that they released an animation and I was so excited to watch it that I didn’t even realize it only had 16 episodes and it stops right at the best part of the story. This is without a doubt my favorite Chinese series. I’ll have to rewatch it… I just wish the author of the original story would give it an ending. For those who haven’t read the manhua it kind of has no ending and the animation doesn’t either but the show’s writers actually created one.
This drama hooks you in a different way. At first I honestly wasn’t into the story that much, it felt like nothing was happening and some episodes even felt like fillers… but it was all so pretty that I kept watching. And THANK GOD I did. It’s the kind of show that just gets better and better, and from the middle to the end it’s REALLY good. Beautiful and captivating story, great characters, AMAZING chemistry.
I always see this happen: whenever a beloved actor does a new drama after a super popular one, fans from the old show show up just to complain or say the new actress isn’t good enough. Stop that, it’s ridiculous and tacky. Appreciate the actors on their own, not just because of your favorite ship. Before this one I watched Legend of the Female General and Cheng Lei was incredible with insane chemistry with the also amazing Zhou Ye. Now he came back and gave another great performance with Song Yi. Let’s give them credit so they keep making good couples with talented actors, instead of whining about it. PEACE
The last 8 episodes were amazing! Like literally if they didn't make episdoe 20-30 filler-like, it would have…
Yeah I had a feeling that some whole episodes from the beginning/half seemed fillers. The series itself are the final 8 episodes. And yet it's a very good series. I just thought they lost the timing of his discovery of who he really is.
I'm so mad at this writer who made him a fool for 30 episodes and is only giving me 8 episodes of him as the cold, calculating prince (I know it was cute, but THAT whole magical fighting world + Jade Linlong plot could’ve ended way faster ugh)
I watched this series when it first came out and I was the same age as the character. Back then I kept postponing getting braces but I finally did it and now that I’m getting them off, I remembered this silly little show that randomly stuck with me. I used to feel embarrassed about getting braces as an adult but whether you do it or not, time will pass anyway. Don’t let age stop you from doing things.
This one is REALLY good. It might be the best Korean series of 2025, I guess… Korean shows have been getting sooo bad, so I’m really praying for this one because the start is so good. PLEASEEEE!
Sigh, I'm still here... When I go through difficult situations, I think about a phrase said by the Turtle Master. It makes me feel so calm, i dont even know how to translate this full in english.. in portuguese the meaning is so beautiful....."a vida é o processo de não ter nada até não ter mais nada'. Life begins with nothing… and ends with nothing....
I like both leads but the story just isn’t that good after episode 4 or 5 I think. I feel like Korean dramas are going downhill lately, there's not much to watch after the first few episodes. And even though they cut down the number of episodes the stories still feel dragged. What's happening?
I'm on episode 4 and I just can't feel anything that makes me want to keep watching. It feels more like government propaganda to boost the number of applicants for the police entrance exam.
When FL - many call her lazy for this reason - in the first part (no need for so much text - just kick me out)…
Honestly I thought people were gonna like the character I thought she was super fun even the way she jokes about drama clichés I was really surprised to see people hating on the diva 😭😭😭😭
But I confess, I was kind of hoping she would come back, finish the plot inside the script, then wake up from the fall in her room, and we’d get maybe two more episodes of her returning to real life and actually meeting the actor who played Nan Heng. He could have a bad reputation just like the character, but as she gets closer to him, she realizes he is not really like that at all. That would have been a good ending
This one is VERY GOOD. It's fun, the characters are well written and well portrayed. The main couple has A LOT of chemistry. I have read some of the comments here and people do not seem to understand that IT IS A PARODY. If you DO NOT LIKE PARODIES, then do not watch it because you simply will not get it.
I must say the hate toward the FL is totally overblown. I think a lot of people watched this because of the male lead and then started hating on the FL for the most ridiculous reasons. But that is a personal opinion so I respect that. Even though I use Li Yi Tong's icon I have seen very few of her works and I honestly think she was really good here. Fun, sassy, and what stood out to me is how she delivered both the truly emotional scenes and the ones where the drama is intentionally exaggerated as part of the parody. That deserves praise for all three main actors.
Visually it is very beautiful, the costumes, the set design. And I must say Liu Yu Ning choreographs REALLY WELL. His action scenes are excellent. I truly believe he is an Artist with a capital A because he sings, dances, acts, and does all of it with talent.
As for Wang You Shuo, I have to say he acts so well that every time Chu Guihong appeared I felt like a vein in my forehead was about to burst from anger. I will definitely keep an eye on his future projects.
So in the end I found this drama really entertaining, with a refreshing approach. Even though similar shows are coming out lately this one still felt special. If you are looking for a serious drama then this is probably not for you. But if you enjoy a well made, well produced, and fun chaotic ride, then welcome and enjoy.
