there’s something i don’t understand. why did mu jiu exist even before they could change his fate in the realm of resentment?

i just can’t get into fu ling and chong zhao’s story. fu ling is far too evil and manipulative for me to like her, the only thing she does that isn’t pure evil is protecting chong zhao (though she also gets obsessive). i find it hard to even imagine how will she redeem herself for all the atrocious things she did, she caused too many deaths already. i don’t even know how will chong zhao fall for the girl who killed uncle bai and his other lanling members (even forcing him to kill one of them)— or will he not? their setup bothers me a lot. (i’m at ep 16)

luckily i don't pay attention to the lyrics so this doesn't bother me much. but i can tell from the vibes of the song sometimes...

right? sometimes they end it too early and i'm like "wait i'm not over the scene yet" 😭

i really love the OST of this drama but honestly the biggest issue i have is about how overplayed they are and how unnatural the OSTs enter and exit the scenes sometimes. most of the time they just abruptly stop playing the music when it’s not supposed to end yet. some scenes felt too shallow to even have to use such an amazing OST when they could use some other background music that doesn’t stand out too much. it honestly reduces the impact of the beautiful OST when a scene will match well with it.

This drama is very fast paced, a bit too fast sometimes if I may be honest 😭The first few episodes feel like the rising action in the usual pacing of cdramas. Is there so much story to cover that there’s already so much happening? (I’m at ep 3) But at least it’s working for my short attention span recently I guess…

the timing of the soundtrack playing at times seem so off to me. sometimes it doesn’t even fit the scene.

I’m also really bothered at Song Mo’s slim figure which doesn’t match his character description. Having fought so much battles surely should have gained him some muscle.

The drama is okay and executed well, but I had to hold it at ep 26 because I just wasn’t that intrigued in the story. I also dont feel any sort of attachment to the characters. In about the first quarter of the drama, I was convinced this was better than The Double (because the two are quite similar). However, now that I’m thinking about it, The Double had more memorable characters and scenes.

I’m still contemplating whether I should continue this or not. Does anything interesting happen later on?

is there comedy?

thank u for answering!

i see. does this also have really smart characters and political intrigue?

in what aspects is this similar to joy of life? im thinking of watching it i love joy of life

im at ep 18. i wish they played the osts more and longer

everyone in this drama is coughing every 10min lmao

why did they cut it down?

they put too much focus on other plot points i didnt really care about 😭

oh. what an odd way to end an arc lol it was something i was really bothered about

does the bracelet conflict get resolved properly like will ziqin actually know that miaomiao was just under a spell from that bracelet? im past ep 20 and they havent talked about it yet

how many eps in total? when will this end?
