The story pacing are quite fast. Up to ep. 12 and the main characters have already fought wars, upgraded their cultivation, declare their love to each other, repeated betrayals, important supporting characters died then revenge, etc.

No waste time and not even one moment was unimportant to the story telling including scenes with Fan Cheng Cheng and Cheng Xiao.

Decent xinxia drama to start for 2021! I mean don't expect Game of Thrones CGI with hundreds of millions USD budget y'all!!

Its good enough and you can tell that its considered high budget production for a Cdrama. Although most leads are rookie actors but they are bearable bcos the story telling and pacing are ok so far up ep. 10. Fan Cheng Cheng's xinxia acting debut is considered acceptable and serious as there was no intentional slow-mo to showcase his handsome face or what not.

Agree! Putting Fan Cheng Cheng together with other rookie actors like FL- Cheng Xiao, he's xinxia acting debut drama is considered better than expected.

I also like the directing of the drama where every scene mainly about telling the story with good CGI. Nowadays many idol wuxia/xinxia like to emphasize in slow motion of main leads handsome/beautiful faces to waste time. None so far in this drama after watching ep. 10 so far!!

My impression is that the producers just borrowed the backstory of the novel/webtoon and expanded it to a psychological thriller of 40 episodes long drama.

I am trying to watch this drama as an independent drama to bring down the expectation.

If this is a kdrama, the best Korean actor to play ML Feng Shiao Sheng will be Lee Soo Hyuk, the actor who played the evil vampire in The Scholar Who Walks The Night. The villian is cold blooded and to match the webtoon or manhua drawing, the actor playing should be someone I imagine white/fairer complexion and longer hair length??.....

Thanks for the summary! Now I will watch the drama !

ROTFL!!! Your joke about casting age appropriate actors from Qin Dynasty Epic really hit the right spot!!

This just gets better as it progress. Can't wait for ep.9!! I just love to watch how much love and concern the Eonni Senior Counters have for So Hun. Not sure if the producer that really wrap up the story with 7 episodes to go.

Just started episode 1. This kdrama has been trending for few weeks now. Must be good.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Two thumbs up!

Those mini terra cotta figurines sold outside the museum are made of clay, though are cheap, but looks and feel ancient. You will be impressed if you see them when visiting Xian.

Oh..ya there's plenty of those souvenirs outside the museum. I bought finger length size terracotta that my mum thinks its scary to look at.

Funny! Lol

As much as I like Wang Yibo, it was the right choice to put Zanilia Zhao's name first in the opening then followed by Wang Yibo given Zhao's seniority in the industry.

Unlike the poster disaster in the yet-to -be released Golden Hairpin, both Kris Wu and Yang Zi names put on the same page can cause controversy and fans rivalry.

In ep.6 now and I am obsessed with Zhao LiYing's Nuxia/ Wuxia Heroine boots! I love to watch her fighting scenes wearing those boots!

Hahaha...I said touch things not artifacts ya! ! This is because there are barriers and cameras everywhere. Those that are reachable even with barriers I suspect are remakes and not original artifacts.

My advice to you is that buy the ticket to ride the "electric car" or caddie once you reach the compound. There is a 5-8 minutes walk from the entrance to actual excavation site and museum. Enjoy!!

You must go Xian!! First thing to do after the Covid 19 pandemic lockdown is over. Looking at those real artifacts and ahem...touching things definitely can widen your imagination about how people that era live their lives.

Although completed this drama, i would still come back here to read viewers comments!

Thanks for sharing

Yes, its the collar and the robe's length of upper body before the waistline which looks similar to what you mention on Kendo robes.

@disliketolike Oh so you went to the Terra Cotta Museum and excavation site in Xian before? Fascinating place right!! Of course minus the massive tourist crowds...haha.

I learned alot about the history and Qin dynasty (basically 1 emperor before the fall of the empire). Yah, I read about the extra metal coating of their arrows and weapons there, which was considered very advance at that time and age.
