Where the heart is, that is place called home...
I'm so excited when I heard Allen Ren Jialun and Dilreba Dilmurat were confirmed as Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe. Not only did I'm falling in love with the novel, but I also waiting for Allen and Dilireba to act in a wonderful drama.The story, personally I love angst stories, so this is one of my favorite plots. And yes, the story is sad enough to make me cry a river. Although there are some little differences from the novel, I really satisfied with the drama's plot. The differences made the drama perfect in their way.
I was afraid when the total episode didn't fit the story from the novel that was already beautiful. But now I really grateful to the crew to develop such a great story and didn't miss any important points.
Cast, Allen is one of my top favorite actors, his acting never disappoints me. How he portrays Chang Yi was perfect. The cute and innocent Big-tailed Fish, and the charismatic and admirable Beiyuan Master. Honestly, I was so excited when I know Allen joined this drama with Dilireba. I really looking forward to them.
I watched YAMG for killing time waiting for this drama, and I know Dilireba is the perfect Ji Yunhe for me.
And Sa Ding Ding, she is stunning even in small character.
Music, with Sa Ding Ding, Zhou Shen, Mao Bu Yi, And Jin Zhi Wen, I know this drama will tear my heart for sure when I hear the drama OST. They are really amazing.
Rewatch value, I definitely recommend this drama to you, and I loved to rewatch it again, It's not easy to find Chinese drama that suits my taste very well like this.

Enjoyable but DING YUXI ARE THE BEST
Once I heard about this drama, I decided to wait until I had enough time to marathon for Ding Yuxi.Story,
It's not bad yet it's not sophisticated enough to make me cannot skip any scene. Maybe just me but I feel like I'm watching several dramas with not really detailed stories. But I can enjoy it until the end without thinking about dropping the drama. Sometimes I feel like they could do better, sometimes I feel enough. This drama could do better in some parts. But yeah, nothing is perfect.
Some things that annoyed me when I watched this drama were some scenes shaking till I got dizzy, little scenes where their CGI was horrible, and the annoying lighting that was too bright and not necessary.
Acting,
Shout out to Ding Yuxi for his acting, I know him from The Romance of Tiger and Rose and I know this guy really has good facial expressions that make his acting more natural. He can deliver both the Dominering God of War, The Second Prince of the Qilin Clan, and even Xiang Yun's cuteness behavior when they got their body switched. Don't forget when he becomes a cat demon, HE IS SO ADORABLE THERE.
As for Yang Chaoyue, I haven't watched her dramas before. For this drama, she is good but she could do a better job in some scenes. Her acting here was okay and enjoyable, but she could do better next time,
Some of the cast did a great job in their roles, but some are just so-so.
Music,
IT IS PERFECT, I love all of their OST. Faye, Liu Yuning, until Huxia, I can enjoy all of them. I can say that all of the songs really suit the plot and the drama itself.
I will rewatch it if I miss Ding Yuxi as God of War Chu Kong, The Second Prince of Qilin Clan. But now I can say that there are other good Xianxia dramas than this.

Nostalgic!
I remember reading the novel when I was in junior high school and I'm really into it. One of the most memorable novels I've read. The story was just perfect, with no other complicated background and ending.Song Joongki really did a great job to portray a wild werewolf boy that has a warm heart and sincerity. It's more than a romance story.
Park Boyoung, her acting always had a way to make me cry a river. Her 'Sun Yi' was just perfect.
When I read the novel at night, I remember going to school with swollen eyes in the morning.
One of the things that I won't regret in my life was deciding to borrow this novel from my school library and decided to watch the movie.

Nice Story but Lot of Misunderstanding
This is my very first review on this page. And I'd like to write after I finished it.I decided to watch this because a lot of people said this is a great drama and has some similarities to other Wuxia.
For 59 episodes, I started enjoying the story after 30. There is too much misunderstanding that made me exhausted. Some characters that I hope will be better as time goes on, just do not match my expectation.
I watched Cheng Yi from The Dream of Chang'an, and I really like how he portrayed the character. And he really did a great job for this drama. I adore his character, but the FL, I'm sorry.
The FL made me suffocate just because of her behavior for the first round of stories. You don't know how happy I am when she knows the truth. Crystal Yuan does a good job as FL, but I'm not really getting the God of War vibe from her, although she wears the armor or has a fierce hairstyle.
Other characters that catch my eyes are Liu Xue Yi, Bai Shu, and Fu Fang Jun. They really fulfill my expectation for their character.
The music is just so-so for me,. Some are good, but some just sound not to my taste.
The Story was good, but for me, the continuous misunderstanding parts are made me exhausted.
Overall I like this drama, but for now, I don't feel like I'm gonna watch it again. But it's still worth watching if you want to watch it. I fall in love with Cheng Yi and can't wait to watch his upcoming drama.

Love, Family, Loyalty, Scheme, and Li Yun Rui
Li Yun Rui made me watch this drama because of his white-grey hair. And this kind of hairstyle is never gone wrong.Story,
I love how the director potrayed every predicted conflcts so perfectly. Even I questioning my prediction even when I was right. The story is written perfectly beautiful.
Every aspect of the story came out so well described, I can say that this is one of drama that became my favorite eventhough I don't really like the genre. In this intense drama, I can still fell light-hearted and laugh in their comedy.
Acting,
I love how Meng Zi Yi executed her role as Dou Zhou yet it is different than her usual role. But she nailed it as independent and talented women trapped by circumtances form by tradition.
And Li Yun Rui, OMG I know he is skilled actoe but I don't expected he will played Song Mo so perfect even I can't compelare him to another actor. As this Song Mo was only written for him to play. White-grey haired Li Yun Rui are entered my top list male character.
All of the actor do really a good job. I cannot complaint.
Music,
All of the soundtrack sounds beautiful and compliment the drama so much.
Rewatch Value and Overal Rate,
I thank you all of the crew who have a finger in the pie. This drama will not ended as beautiful as this if there are not for your hardwork. I really love this drama that I planned fo rewatch again sometime later.

The most beautiful drama that I have ever watched!
Watched it by accident, but in the end, I really hooked by this drama. The drama is really give an impact on me as a human, daughter, and sister. No family has no problems. What makes it different is how we as a family dealt with it together.Story. I don't have any word that can describe this drama except Wonderful! I really thank the screenwriter and all of the staff that made the beautiful story for us. This is one of the most satisfying storylines that I ever watched. You guys own my respect.
Cast. All of the characters are played by the perfect actors with the perfect skill. Especially Tan Songyun, Song Weilong, and Zhang Xincheng, your chemistry is really something. Thank you for making the characters in this drama alive. Also, I wanna bow to the other characters that really did a great job in their own role. Without you guys, the story would never be this well-executed.
Music. Thank you to the music department that gave us beautiful and perfect soundtracks. Without your hard work, the audience will not get the meaning that the story wants to deliver. All of the songs never missed the moment! They are so beautiful.
I can't find anything that made me disappointed with this drama. I definitely will rewatch this drama in the future. If you like family and have deep meaning-kind-of-drama, I can guarantee you will never regret watching this drama.

Simple but Legendary Life of The Extraordinary Queen
As Li Hongyi's fans, I waited for this drama for so long. This drama really gives me a different feeling. For the first time, I really enjoyed it without too much thinking.Story. Even though there are some scenes that cut harshly, but this is one of the dramas that are light-hearted and simple. I can enjoy each of the episodes without worrying to miss something important. It's unfortunate that some scenes are missing and affect the entire plot. But I really enjoyed the drama without thinking too much and feel the none sensed scene was really entertaining. Sometimes comedy comes from something none sensed. The romance is simple yet beautiful for the main lead or the other characters.
But the story can be more enjoyable if there is a wise adjustment to the scenes that are missing for some reasons.
Cast. Li Hongyi and Lamu Yangzi really outcome my expectation of each character. I watched this drama for Li Hongyi but I didn't expect Lamu Yangzi or Jackie Lie really catch my attention. Both of them executed the character really well as a Queen and King that extraordinary. Bai Shu as Yu Changya gives a strong impression on me too. Also, Wang Dong as Liu Xie is a unique character in the whole drama.
Music. I really like all of the songs, there is no soundtrack that sounds weird to my ears. The song is placed in the most suitable way for the drama. Especially, when Hongyi and Jackie sing together, they melt my heart.
I recommend watching this drama when you want to just laugh at silly things and don't want to think too much. Even though this is not the best.

No Injustice in This World
Im here basically for my baby Ao Rui Peng, but I got lot of surprises as long I watched the drama. This is my best summer drama that I ever watched this year, and here is why,Story,
OMG this is so engaging! Even of the genre isn't my cup of tea,but I ended up watched it in just 2 days. Such an accomplishment!
Each of the case lit up my curiosity, the headless bride case is an epic opening, Qin's third branch was despicable, eldest senior master's case was love turn into evil, the trope and general's case and the heavenly something sect's case was embodiment of when finally take action because authorities are corrupt, And all of the case arrangement are so good. Even the grand case of the evil deeds of the emperor and the 3rd prince was perfectly executed.
After all of this shit happens, the end of the evil was the most perfect ending I've ever watched in drama.
Acting and Cast,
How come the casting director can hire such an incredible actors for each case? This is the most perfect cast I ever watched, like you know the casting team pour all of their effort to bring each character come to life. Like each od fhe actor got their time to shine and acting skill so perfectly.
Ao Rui Peng, my baby, you did a great job! Li Landi also the other actors really amazed me with their skill.
And I was so surprised by appearance of familiar faces from short drama artist like Liu Run Ming, Zheng Feng, and even Hu Yi Yao, they are SHINE.
Thank you for all of the cast and the casting team that made me enjoyed the show very much!
Music and BGM,
Such an amazing song that matched the drama perfectly sang by my love Zhou Shen and Curley Gao! And the BGM placement was so good.
Overall I enjoyed this drama as I enjoy watching Under The Skin. This two was my only favorite crime drama. Thank you for all of the pre-production, actors, and post production teams. Its worth my subscription's money!
