Just started watching, in between others. Partly also because I'm a fan of Allen.
I'm a little confused with the plot, tbh. The fight scenes are not bad actually, and the visuals are generally pretty good. But I'm not really feeling it...
Not sure if I'll persist, judging from most of the earlier comments as well. And I think I still prefer Allen in sombre mode, much like his other shows.
Anyway, let's put this on hold first and see if it picks up later on.
Pretty light hearted romance drama. Seems like we're seeing a lot of Yukee lately.
Couldn't help but wonder whether he's naturally like this in real life or if it's the director's instruction, but the ML here appears.... robotic. Its almost like watching a puppet being manipulated on screen.
Aaah okay this drama is exhausting me emotionally....I feel like I'm in an off-balance pendulum.Anyone care to…
I know how you feel. This drama is so intense that a short break every 3 or 4 episodes would do us all a world of good. Probably.
Ness has given a pretty comprehensive list. I'm not sure what else to recommend except maybe watch some variety shows. Every drama, no matter how light hearted, will still contain some drama. So watching a no brainer like some Running Man or Survivor show might just help you ease some stress.
Alternatively, watch some horror to scare off the emotional baggage :D
yeah, totally agree. i think the fight scenes in this drama are executed very well and isn't just the average…
Hear hear!
The fight scenes alone is worth a 10 out of 10.
30 - 36 really picks up, I agree. The plot got a bit tired up prior to that, probably due to waiting for the leads to literally wake up from their various stages of induced slumber.
What I love about this drama is the excellent cast. I also like that more mature actors are playing the main roles.…
Yes, the cast is really impressive and they make this drama a superb production.
Li Qin is a great actress, I've seen her portraying a (semi) villain/ antagonist in Princess Agents and I thought she really stood out there. In Jade Dynasty, the role she portrayed is quite similar to her role here (as a swordswoman, not in a main role of protagonist).
Qin Hao is a pleasant surprise and revelation to me, because I'm not familiar with his works. His looks and portrayal really befits his role here.
The supporting cast such as the experienced Eddie Cheung from HK, veteran Deng Ying and younger actors like Jason Koo, just to name a few, have added strength to the drama as well.
Overall, I would rate this as one of the best dramas for 2020, if not the past few years.
It's hard to find a really absorbing and compelling period drama these days. Annoying sexist roles that portray…
I feel you. Just the right dose for the role would suffice. There are too many over the top helplessness that end up ruining the potential of any show.
Came here to record my instant gratification of this show. It's INCREDIBLE! Love the matured cast and their portrayal.…
It's hard to find a really absorbing and compelling period drama these days. Annoying sexist roles that portray women as weak and idiotic definitely is infuriating.
Some technical difficulties with the audio for episodes 23 and 24, so had to sync with a non-sub website. Hopefully dramacool rectifies this issue moving forward.
I'm glad the way things were left off in 24, no major cliffhanger. On that note, I think I'm going to put this show on hold until the final week of airing, at least. It's so damn good that I can't bear to wait every week for 3 episodes.

The only problem I had was that it was too short.
Probably could have had more character development and expanded on the plot twist at the end.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted :)
Yup, oh well.

Not sure why that is, hmmm....
From the first look, this seems like a serious and intense show. The opening credits already highlighted as much.
Noticed some familiar faces of kung fu veterans here. This definitely goes into my watch list.
Then again, most people don't and they usually happen to land into a cave filled with long lost martial arts manuals.
But yeah, hopefully she gets her comeuppance eventually.

Can't wait for 37 onwards.
