your first paragraph I agree with you, about the side characters too. they have been given time and it's a good thing.
the drama so far doesn't have loopholes it's just weak, two problem I have so far (AMONG OTHER problems)
1_ this is not a novel, this is not a book,
you can't keep saying a line over and over, you have to SHOW it to your viewers. I think I heard ' I want to walk my own path' maybe 14 or 15 times in these 13 episodes. this is not a positive point for a drama.
2_ the ML doesn't seem like scary to me. it seems like no one really is scared of him as the most powerful KING of demons. compare him to dongfang qing sang in love fairy and devil. now he was something else, the definition of aura, remember how EVERYBODY was afraid of him? did you see half of his superiority in fan yue?
these are just 2 of reasons why i didn't like it so far.

I'm on ep13, the plot is tooooo weak to deserve 8.6 on MDL, will it get better???

on some degree I agree with you, but there are some good rom dramas without those cringy plots too like 'when the weather is fine', 'gyeonsung creature', 'the trunk' etc. kdramas have fixed hotheaded fan based who as long as the drama has a handsome or famous actor/actress they don't care about the quality. those people are the ones who gave a drama like 'king the land' high scores on MDL. if you fix the image of kdramas worldwide with creating good dramas without cringy plots I doubt that even those people wouldn't like it.

yes it's a romance drama, but they don't need fate to brings them together over and over and over again. they have to CHOOSE each other and believe and rely on in each other, and in the end they have stick to their choice untill the end. this will be a beautiful romance drama. it doesn't have to be fate, but just a good plot for 2 ordinary human who like each other in ups and downs of life.
one of the reasons that today people make fun of kdramas is because of fate and those cringy accidents

unfortunately I do

the drama has been good up untill ep8 PLEASE don't ruin it with something so cringy and predictable as her father save him form fire and then died. don't let it be one of those kdrama.
for now two people who didn't like each other have ACCIDENTALLY become coworkers and ACCIDENTALLY have mutual friends if I'm right about that father plot then this drama will loose it's value for me

in EP 4 tang hao told tang sun that you're at soul douluo lvl, in EP 5 he told him you've reached lvl 50 now it's time to go for your fifth ring, what is going on here if he is at soul douluo lvl, then he is definitely far beyond lvl 50, unless there is a loophole in the story

(No spoiler) I just finished the drama.
I always thought the ending of a drama is very important, so much that if a drama is good but the ending was done poorly then the entire drama( in my opinion) is bad, and vice versa.
This drama proved me right. before the last 2 episodes I had some critism about the drama. now i don't even care about them. The kid , I admit i didn't like him, BUT from the last 10 episodes he KILLED it and in the last 2 episodes he was simply great.
The ending of this drama is THE most perfect ending of any cdrama AND kdramas that I've ever seen and believe me when I say I've seen many dramas, TOO MANY.
I enjoyed this, the brotherhood of male leads, the love plot, the pureness of Wen Xiao, the bravery of Zhuo Yi Chen and the experience and knowledge of Zhao Yuanchuan all of it was fantastic.

I'm in the middle of the drama, the kid is too loud and annoying, even if he is not a burden and is actually helping he is still annoying. his acting is not good enough for a show with in this scale

no no you didn't understand my sentence, I have watched Lucy's dramas before, this is the first that I'm tired of her drama and just want it to end sooner
I agree with you, I think she isn't suited for that kinda character, at least not here

I'm on ep16 and gotta say this is the first time that I'm seeing a Lucy's drama and I'm begging pleaaaaase let it stop. 8.3 score for this drama is tooo much.
cui shi jiu is not a good person. she must be punished for all the crimes she herself has committed(even if we don't consider the crimes of her family), BUT I know for sure because she is a woman who is fighting against the patriarchy of that era she is gonna have a happy ending. THIS pisses me off.

when you see a drama like king the land score above 8 in mdl(which should be below 5 in my opinion) it doesn't make sense for this drama to be below 8

by the looks of it I thought it's maybe part of those dramas, thanks for clarifying

is it feminist drama? in the middle of drama the girl says no I need no man?

why this drama doesn't have a romance tag? the romance of this drama is waaay better than most of the kdramas and cdramas these days, especially when romance dramas have become tooooo cringy

I feel like the summary is a spoiler on it's own

the good and interesting part is that the main villain of the drama (which in my opinion is Mu Haijiang, father of Mu Yao) died before the drama even started, this is the first time I've seen something like this, and he died very bad, he watched his entire family getting killed and he himself got killed by his own daughter, it was satisfying.
the bad part was that the sibling relationship between mu Yao and ziqi was not good enough, I saw in the entire drama the affection ziqi had for MY but I saw almost nothing in return, I know she did help him but 32 eps I saw ziqi constantly being worried and caring for her.
I didn't see even near something like this from her

the drama was so good and there are too many good things too say about it, but I'm gonna say one good point and one bad point

I'm on episode 30, gotta say I'm tired of idiot FMLs in Chinese dramas and MLs saying oh no everything is my fault when it's not, (spoiler) the whole break up thing was idiotic. so he sent you away for yourself to be safe, in your opinion it wasn't a good idea, fine but breaking up with him and getting engaged right after that? what kind of plot is this??

no she didn't die
