These links don't work but thanks for sharing ^^

Every body has different taste, you find this boring i on the other hand love the business plot and the romance between the main leads. It come down to different taste, some people like this drama but not moonlit reunion or vice versa. I like both dramas and my main point is i love xukai characters in both dramas and i also like the fls ^^

The bff breaking the sister code i felt was realistic because in real life this does happens the boyfriend cheated on the girl friend with her best friend i'm glad it didn't happens here and they only gotten together after he broke up with her. The fl has her own mind and she has a lot of growth, her business was helped by ml at the start but she was able to deal with lots of problems arising on her own without his help so i disagree with you on this. From the very beginning she made a deal with him because he promised her business would be independent from his so i can see why she felt it was a betrayal that he kept it from her that he wants to merge their business together, but eventually she understood why he did it and they got back together after settling their differences. I thought the 40 eps was about right, i don't think 24 eps would do this drama justice unless we take out all the business stuffs and only included the romance.

You also like once upon a time in lingjian mountain like me. My first drama of xukai is story of yangxi palace a very different type of drama than lingjian i like that he can play serious and funny characters equally well. What you said xukai can ground his character in some form of reality is true, and it's also what i like about him his emotion feel real and not fake, his character feel grounded and he can emote and touch the audience to make them care for his characters. In term of bland i assume that person is complaining about some of his characters being call bland and boring by some but again it's all base on taste some people just don't like that type of character while some people on the other hand love it.

His fan base spread out from different age group i don't follow actor for popularity but rather their works you might be right certain actors will click with us base on the dramas they're in. Just because you don't like certain dramas doesn't mean the fault lies with the actor but rather your taste in dramas, i have never have a problem with finishing a drama xukai in and i'm a lazy watchers i'm not the type to watch a drama to the end if it didn't appeal to me so i understand perfectly your point but i would never put the blame on the actor/actress and make it about them like what you're doing by putting the blame on xukai just because you don't like the dramas. An actor should not be hold responsible for your disliking of a drama they're in just because it's not to your taste. I'm saying this because you're making it personal by bringing his name in here by asking about the drama when he's not responsible for whether the drama appeal to you or not, it's base on your taste just like i didn't like how in some dramas fans of certain actors would blame on li yi tong for many dramas she in that didn't do well according to them. They're actors they're not responsible for the writing or the directing of the drama or whether the subject matter appeal to you, it's up to you whether you want to find out yourself by watching to get a feel of the drama since i don't know your taste i can't tell you whether you will like this drama or not but in this drama xukai character is introverted and can be call bland and boring but in drama there's a thing call character development you don't expect the character to stay the same the whole drama and that why it's fun to watch these dramas to see when that happens.

You could watch a few eps to get a feel for the drama to see if it's something that will keep your interest. Also don't mistake acting for the character the actor is playing, sure xukai has play these introverted type of character who can be describe as bland and boring and still get many to watch his dramas, he can bring the character to life bringing out their feeling and motivation that is why he has many type of fans for different dramas he in, the character he play in this drama is a demon hunter who hides his ability to investigate his parents death. I love actors that can be rounded and can play all types of character even the ones that are bland and boring and that is xukai appeal he play both introverted and extroverted types of characters not just those that appeal to wider audiences that is what it means to be a serious actor. Txw character from your comment i think you will like her character is a cat demon who can kick ass.

Xukai doesn't look much difference than when he was younger ^^

Has this drama pass review?

Good question, another drama of xukai just finished shooting a few months ago still only have three casts, i been asking the same question i think mdl don't do it themselves and is waiting for someone else to do it for them 😅

You're telling me the scene in the bathtub doesn't give you any feeling or the scene when mzy was kissing wz aggressively and marking her because he knew someone else was watching them? Who said they don't have chemistry, there wasn't any romance in the beginning causing many to be mistaken there is no chemistry between the leads and drop the drama, but most people who watch this drama love their chemistry.

I do agree with you they rush into marriage too fast but it's not totally their fault, they don't have the luxury of waiting to know each other better like modern day since fl has been pressure by her sister the queen to get marry since she is past marriage age that why she kept being introduce to men in order for her to pick the right one. Marriage don't always have to be for love, it can be for convienient or an arrange marriage between two strangers, the fl is very lucky that her family willing to let her pick the right man to get marry. Back to the topic i do think they were rushing their marriage due to her family pressure being she already past marriage age compare to most girls her age who would be force to marry base on their family arrangement rather than for love.

I was checking the bts of this drama when it was filmed and i didn't know there was any problem. I'm also hoping it was just jealous marketing and they follow the original script.

You're saying she should trust someone she knew only a short time when she didn't even trust her family whom she knew her whole life with her secret. I understood what you mean about trust, but it still take time to trust someone completely with your secret when that secret don't belong to you. In term of love their relationship only started once they gotten marry, both ml and fl have never been in love before and they were still new to love. No i think they will eventually tell each other their secret just not right away because they're still learning about each other so they still have to learn to trust each other. Even cp in real life don't tell each other everything until they learn to trust each other, i think that is for most relationship. The fl once she lost her memory still chose ml even though she forgot everyone else so she does trust him, the reason she didn't tell him was because of her responsibility as cat lord to protect the demon world.

You don't seem to understand the different between wanting to get marry and protecting a secret that don't belong to the both of them. All the example of dramas you made comparison to this drama has to do with humans love, this is a drama between two different species demons and humans and the ml and fl belong to different faction who have a long standing hatred of each other. I understood your point but realistically i can see why the both of them chose to keep their secret rather than divulge them. What you expecting from them look to me to be your own romantic inclination which for people like them will not happen because they been living such secret lives for such a long time. The fl has kept her secret from her own family so she will not reveal it to even the person she loves same with ml he made a vow to keep his secret so he will not break it whether i like it or not i still understood why they made that choice.

The identity part does not just affect them but also affect everyone around them. Why didn't they tell each other their identities before getting marry i suppose it has to do with their loyalty to their faction because that secret does not belong only to them and will effect the different faction they belong. The ml made a vow to his sect once he left the sect he can't say anything otherwise a curse will fallen on the love of his life and such a vow once made is binding for people like him, fl is also not free to tell her secret because it affect not only her but the whole demon world since they're hiding their presence from the humans, if humans knew about their existence they will be put in harm way. I kind of understood why they kept such a secret from each other since it affect not only the both of them but their faction as well.

Congrats ^^

You're putting the blame on her for hiding her identity, but she's not the only one who did. He was also partly responsible for hiding his identity. But we have to understand the position they're both in, she's a half demon task with the responsibilty to protect both the demon and human world and mantaining peace, he on the other hand is a demon hunter who is undercover to find the opening of the demon world to find the cuprit who killed his parents to protect the human world from being destroy by demons. They both have responsibility to their own identities, one careless move could destroy the balance between demons and humans. It's easy to say she should trust him when he also wasn't forthcoming about his identity. Both his sect and the demon world are natural enemies and don't trust each other, and she is also afraid that once he found out about her identity he would reject her just like how snake lord was rejected by her lover when he found out she was a demon. Xukai has an interview and he compare them to mr and mrs smith who have secret identities while marrying to each other because they both afraid the other from finding out the other part of themselves. You're right in love you should have trust, but in this situation i'm not sure if once they know each other identies there would even be a relationship since they're both on opposite side and her side and his side have such distrust over the other 🤔

I'm also looking forward to this drama. If you like his carefree character he also has a few historical dramas his characters are carefree like court lady, once upon a time in lingjian mountain, dance of the sky empire, wonderland of love... His next drama he's shooting now his character is also carefree from seeing the bts. I think xukai is suitable in all kind of roles, it's probably just your preference for roles that are more carefree than serious introvert type roles because i like xukai in those roles just as much as his carefree roles.

As a casual drama watcher i care much more for the plot and the characters, having great cinematography is extra but not a requirement though since i used to watch older dramas with mostly fake sceneries.

You're the first to complain about the cinematography, i would say this drama has one of the better cinematography that keep me clue to the screen as well as the atmosphere.
