Haha I finished this drama. It started out so promising & I missed seeing those veteran TVB actors. For whatever weird reason this is a drama that despite the actors over-acting, despite the plot being ridiculously dramatic as it progressed, I still find it entertaining to watch 🤣. It feels like a low budget drama production done by a group of uni students who just wanted to tell a Nanyang story and they talked about this plan over their holidays in Singapore 🤣 I rated it 7.0 for its pure entertainment value.
This is MDL. The ratings are always ropey and not reliable. Many on here tend to prefer court intrigue or costume…
I’m one of those who won’t rate until I finished watching but this drama is an exception. I’m watching 2 dramas at the same time and I’m getting more excited over Contenders than the other one that more people are watching. More people needs to give this drama a chance and if they’ve watched Sisterhood before, they would like this too.
The writing in WQHY’s character is inconsistent. At times, the drama shows him being smart and scheming and…
Absolutely. He reminds me too much of men who gave really good 1st impression but turned out to be mehhh 🤣 I will definitely disconnect. It’s just because it’s Zhang Yunlong that I’m wiling to give WQHY a chance again and again.

5 screenwriters?! No wonder! I definitely blame the screenwriters for writing his character like that but me as a viewer gets carried away by what I see on screen and it’s frustrating. It’s good to show that the ML isn’t perfect & can’t do everything but if it keeps going on like that for too long, I as a viewer gets tired. What makes them think that it’s a good idea to write him like he’s so powerful, skillful and smart but when it’s crucial he failed to achieve anything. 😪
Le sigh…Jiuhuo and Jialan are so much more powerful and smarter than all the humans combined. Getting tired and disappointed at Wangquan Hongye coz he doesn’t seem to be able to do much without help and also easily overpowered or fooled by the demons. Why such a weak ML?? Jiuhuo on the other hand is amazing!
The screenwriters proposed ending was to make Banxia a half demon, which would have made this a demon on demon…
The mirror arc creeped me out a bit when she was sleeping alone in the room and had to remove every reflective item in there. I don’t think he could go back until he finds a way to repair the Taohu. He said it’s broken and he couldn’t use it anymore 😢. If there’s no S2, I’ll wait for the animated one then.

I actually think this ending is appropriate too. Of course I do like a HE but making Banxia a half demon is a bad idea. I would hate that more than a BE. I wish for S2. 12 years later, they’re still young. I like the arcs especially the painting arc.
This drama is surprisingly very good. I’m still on Ep 25 but I read some comments on the ending. Makes me a little anxious but I’m gonna keep watching. The arcs remind me of SToTD.
