SO BAD ITS GOOD
The acting, story, music, production value all a little low but someone you are still drawn to this show. I love toxic, possessive, messy male leads so I’m sure that was the appeal, along with the good looking cast. I also love that Kim makes him want to be a better person, the whole your love transforms me from bad boy to good LOL. I was rooting for Kamol and Kim the whole way through. I’ve watched this show 3-4 times, it’s a great filler for when I’m waiting for a new BL. My one true pet peeve was the tacky limo that Kamol went around in, so funny.Was this review helpful to you?
This is such an underrated show
I didn’t love the first few episodes because I found Phab (Tae) character a little annoying. But as I watched, he evolved and grew on me. I wasn’t sure about the TaeSingto partnership but they have really great chemistry and there was a lot of humour. I get tired of the University dramas so always nice to find a grown up BL. The story was not perfect and some of the misunderstandings were ridiculous but all in all very worth it.YoonSood were also really great in it too!

Absolute epic, fantasy drama worth watching!!!
Just finally finished and my face is all puffy from crying.
1st off what’s with the low MDL score?? To the haters let’s agree to disagree because I absolutely loved this drama. People comparing it to Pursuit of Jade is ridiculous…2 very different gendre!!!
As a watcher of many Xianxia and Wuxia dramas, this is beautifully executed. It was bold, raw and gritty. The fight scenes were dark and ruthless with amazing choreography. All of the actors were fantastic in the fight scenes.
Reba was absolutely stunning in this, she embodied the cold, regal and ancient sovereign. Her acting range was excellent in this, from the cold void to the warm mortal experiences. Let’s talk costume….like wow!!!! Seriously breathtakingly gorgeous human being
Arthur to Reba’s character was also well done. People saying they didn’t have chemistry must be blind. His character was so tragic but once he decided on redemption to save his nation and to tenaciously love a cold sovereign. He fought so hard for her love because she didn’t know how. She kept pushing him away for valid reasons but he never gave up and taught her how to love. His character and back story is also truly interesting.
Miles Wei as Yan Ke was brilliant, his villain was next level!! I literally felt cringey and disgusted during his scenes with He Simu at the end. That is such a reflection of his amazing acting abilities.
Overall I loved this drama, it felt epic, unique and like an old school production where they are not scared to cover the handsome actors in blood.
I will have to watch it all over again some time 9.5/10

So disappointed
The initial pilot trailer look amazing and had a very specific vibe. Unfortunately the show did not deliver. I really like MossBank but they need better scripts, this show was all over the place. The NC scenes were great which shows that the actors really trust each other but O really didn’t feel a lot of chemistry with any of them.Was this review helpful to you?
