Binged from 25 to 29 and I am just so filled with emotions. It was not only the students but also the adults who experienced growth. This is really an inspiring show.
I love the ending of ep 27 by the way with the teachers showing their support that way.
So glad that YW was honest with TH and did not just disappear on him. It was nice to see them making the best of it and all the sweet overacting 😁. I’m still enjoying the show very much. It didn’t bother me that the past few episodes were not romance fluffy. It made sense that the story had to come full circle and tie up loose ends The reactions of the characters were also reasonable. I look forward to the last episode and hope for a proper HE.
Yes - if you like action, more specifically hand combat because even though everyone went around carrying guns, they would rather fight. The hand combat is probably the better part of the show with Mik as Dave and Louis as Drago coordinating well and duel fighting against the bad guys.
No - if you are looking for romance. Very little chemistry between the main couple. Visually, they looked good together, but their interactions were rather stiff. Other than some hugs and a forehead kiss, and lots of "Are you OK?" from the ML, there was nothing else to satisfy the viewers. There was much more chemistry between the two male leads with their constant nodding and exchanging of looks with each other. There was definite romance for the secondary couple. Even then, it was a little unbelievable since the girl did so much bad stuff to the guy, so he's a total doormat to me.
No - if you are looking for a good story execution. Everything is kind of weakly linked together and some loose ends were never explained. This drama could have wrapped up without the extra 10 episodes, but the director must really like fight scenes since that was at least a showdown between the good and bad guys in every episode. Also, the bad guys were always around because the good guys must really wanted to make merit and they would never kill the bad guys. In fact, they constantly welcomed them back into the group. With this group of leads, you get infinite chances to do all sorts of evil stuff because the leads just never learn their lessons. It's like rinse and repeat - "Oh we got attacked doing this...that's ok, let's do it again because it cannot possibly happen again...ooops." Or someone is told not to leave the safety of the place because she's targetted and the next minute, she does exactly that...
Maybe - if you are a fan of Mik or Louis. They carried the show, more Louis in my opinion. They looked good and they did well in the fight scenes. Preaw did not impress me at all. She constantly had a shell-shocked look and her character was just ok, a little weak and useless. She's pretty much there to be a damsel in distress. Even though she can shoot a gun, no one gave her one to protect herself even though everyone else had one. She was constantly hiding in the best spots to be caught. Her strength is that the Naga won't eat her.
Speaking of Nagas, they showed up during some crucial moments but they were not featured much. The story was connected to them but as I mentioned before, kind of loosely. The story was also about past lives, but the plot development there was bad, and I think they cut out scenes since those scenes were shown in the ending credits but not in the show itself.
The best part for me is the romantic OST. The intro rock song was interesting but way too long. It was about 3 and half minutes long and really dragged into the start of the show.
Overall, I started off enjoying the show but it got too draggy. I would ask people to give it a watch and feel free to skip some episodes since you won't miss much.
Really well said, the scenes + costume were very pretty :’) not sure why people didn’t like the CGI, like…
Oh no, they were super adorable and made me laugh. Yes, the spitting habit was awesome...lol. Just did not quite fit the rest of the CGI. Yes, totally agree with you about Silence Wang. I first noticed him when he sang the duet with Dilrabe for EDOL.

The CGI was not bad really except like the cartoon versions of AYin and A Yu in their water beasts form. It just made me laugh. Also like you said the fire scene lol I love the songs sang by WAY and Silence Wang. Just tugged at my emotional heartstrings! I also like that they used those two songs mainly for AYin/FY and GJ/YQ and then the one by ZLS for Yan Shuang and Hong Yi.
As expected of a Xianxia drama, I laughed at the characters, cheered them on, ugly cried for them, raged against them and also rejoiced with them. After getting jaded by the endings of the more recent Xianxia dramas, I am happy that we got what we got, no matter how lack-lustre it was.
Excellent acting, great OSTs and gorgeous costumes. At times the CGI could be better but it's not that bad compared to some other dramas ;D
ZLS also acted well with her voice...as Ayin she was young, vibrant, cheerful and as FY, she was haughty, calm and matured. She is really a good actress paired well with WAY who was also excellent!
Ep 34 was fun, I’m glad that we get to see Yuan Qi in a more playful happier state before the angst starts again. I can also see Feng Yin cracking a bit 😊 Poor Hong Yi - at least he has Yuan Qi who is guiding him now…I hope we will see him happy with Yan Shuang soon! Ok, time for the express package…see you all at the end!
One more episode! Seriously if they dragged this on further, I would have skipped all the way to the end. Luckily the bad guys are finally dropping like flies so I guess the show must finally be wrapping up!
Honestly when Hua Shu started to go to the good way due to Lan Fengs love I cheered for her only if her father…
If she had not shown her evil power-hungry side, I would have felt bad for her since her father was really the villain. He has been misleading her and pushing her further down the wrong path.
Express package coming! I really hope that it is a HE....lately the xianxia dramas like to create buzz and most go for bad endings or really open endings. It's like the directors think it will be more memorable.
Eps 32 & 33 were so good with a great festive ending. Finally some redemption for AYin and the others that were framed, and FengYin found out more about Gu Jin's sacrifices. Best of all, Hua Shu continued to get slapped in the face. I just wish that her father could get taken down, too, since he's worse than Hua Shu. We also still got the angsty part but this time more about the second couple. Sigh, all this lack of communication and misunderstandings...

I know, it's too bad but that's how they squeeze more money out of us :-(
