Disclaimer: I'm not sure if it's my problem or what, but I feel it's kinda hard to connect with the characters as well as the plot. On a brighter note, I still have 'No Pain No Gain' though.
I'm a bit of let down by the exclusion of the time travel and the system trope. But still, it's an absolutely hilarious watch that deserves more recognition from all folks alike.
Thank you for your review! I’m on episode 21 and I’m so over it. Totally fed up with Ding Zhi Tong and her…
Yes, I agree with you. When Destiny Brings the Demon is the dark horse of 2025 - it had been in my watchlist for some time, but I was expecting to drop it out so I could catch up on Shadow Love. However, the truth was otherwise. One more thing, you should never touch any of this director or screenwriter's (she's the biggest reason of the drama's downfall) work if possible.
i didnt have problems with the pace probably because i love the storytelling. but if you find it slow, you can…
I've watched until ep 22 currently. And so far, I use 2x speed to make it faster (can't afford to waste too much time) and only normal speed for suspenseful scenes. I'll try to binge again tomorrow. One more thing to add, I'm shocked at its rating from 8.0 plunging to 7.8. I even thought that this show is on par with Wei Yu's other projects (indeed, it is) and hope it could receive a better score than this.
May need to lower my rating after I complete it. We're going round and round in circles without conclusion (I'm at ep 21 btw, kinda hard to watch with exams mixed on top of my schedule).
He's sus, I can tell you. Definitely up to no good.
That's one point for sure. Another one that I've found is the way he treats Sun Zhou. I don't know why but I always sense there's something off with it. And he's definitely feeling uneasy with Yu Rong around.
I agree, it also seemed too simplistic to me, it It didn't add any shine to the group, after they spent most of…
The Hunter Guild looks chaotic and mismatched, if you ask me. Furthermore, they lack a proper foundation as each has personal goals and means (sounds selfish but that's how it works). It reminds me of my school's group project where only one or two people do the work while the others sit around, chatter like bees, and of course pray for the best. I only tolerate this plot hole because I've experienced this kind of thing quite a lot.
The only issue I have with this drama is that there are too many darn names. Lol I really have to look up on MDL…
If you have rooted yourself in TBOY universe, there won't be any trouble of memorizing names. I tend to forget some names too, but end up memorizing all of them. What you need is a good understanding of the OG source, then you'll be able to know all of them. As for relationship chart, I rarely look up to it since it's not that important for me.
One look at the eunuchs and I'm ready to have a good punch at them. Every time they appear (whether in TBOY or DY), my blood will boil over in irritation. Just looking at them makes you feel that they're villains (but, there is a kind-hearted one in TBOY tho).
still stuck in ep 11 😭😭
