Just finished episode 9, and I just had to come check how many episodes this has. I do not feel 36 episodes are enough to cover the whole (too many moving chess pieces ) 🤭. Good storytelling so far.
Ok, I have been on the edge of my seat from episodes 1-4, gosh! I was intrigued by the events going on. I can't wait to watch more and hopefully, it stays good too.
I am just in the 2nd scene of Ep. 1, and OMG! the fight scene with Spider-demon looked so good. I like a good make-up and CGI mix. Of course, Liu Shishi and the other cast members are bad-ass in the scene.
Ok, I started this drama, got to Ep. 15, and took a break. The make-up and cinematography are terrible, and the storyline is draggy and uninteresting. I then saw a review by Avenuex and thought, maybe it gets interesting later on, so I should try to finish it.
It was the worst mistake ever! I kept holding on to find out what she meant by "one of the best Xianxia we're going to get for a while."
I wasted my time and should have dropped it at Ep. 15. I watched the whole thing, and it is as terrible as the bad make-up and cinematography. Time to unsubscribe from her. She's lost the reason I was subscribed initially. Phew!
OMG! This show! 😍😍😍. I can’t believe they almost didn’t release it. It’s even surpassing Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty. Amazing makeup and cinematography.
What a show! I thought they wouldn't do justice to such a complicated plot in 30 episodes. Boy, was I wrong! A real thriller from C-dramaland.
I also want to give a special shout-out to the makeup artist. They threw their backs into this show. The scars, wetness, and sweat looked real, something that is often lacking in C-dramas—a 10 for me.
The actor who played Zhuang Shiyan also deserves the biggest cast recognition. This man played a psychopath to the "T". Such a great actor. He was indeed a worthy antagonist.
The leads also did a good job, and the director ended the drama realistically and beautifully.
C-dramaland has been spoiling me recently with 10/10 dramas. First, Filter, then Northward and now, this one. Please keep up this streak. I am not complaining at all. 😊.
he is willing to sacrifice all his children to survive and for his ambitions. but what made ruyin sacrifice her…
She doesn’t know yet. She thinks the position will benefit them. And the daughter can win the Duke’s affection. She has no idea the extent of how crazy he is
Looking forward to the next instalment.
I will miss it. I hope another interesting C-drama is released soon.

6/6.5 over 10 for me.
