OMG! To think I only really started enjoying this show from episode 15. But, my gosh! It completely blew my mind away.

It’s right up there with the drama Filter. So hilarious and I’ve always love Li YiTong and so happy to see her in this masterpiece. A 10/10 for me.

Such a unique concept drama like Filter and hilarious and serious at the same time.

Thank you to all the cast and crew. A wonderful production you guys gave us.

The ending, my goodness, what a show! Whoever wrote the script was definitely on steroids to come up with such a great story. Kudos to the director for translating it into this beautiful work.

And the casts (all of them) for being great actors too and bringing each character to life in an amazing way.

I know. But no mention of him until the very end. Like he never existed. Strange. Quite a loophole in wrapping up the show.

????

This was initially going well until towards the ending. Arghh! C-dramas need to learn wrapping up stories properly. Vey few c-dramas are able to do this.

Also, did not hear about former Crown Prince anymore even though he was never killed.

I hope so. There was no reason to divide it into 2 seasons.

I can’t believe it took me getting to half way (from Ep. 15) to really starting enjoying this drama. I’m glad I stayed put.

The show has gone off the rails. It just goes round and round in circles. Not really moving forward. Just watching to finish it at this point. It’s either the ML or FL gets into some sort of situation and the other persons works to save them. Rinse and repeat again.

Although at some point this show started using flashbacks a lot (flashing back to scenes they already showed), may be as fillers, I enjoyed it overall.
Great action, wonderful actors and realistic conclusions.

I know! 😭

Thought it was the same actor for a moment. Their resemblance is uncanny.

I noticed. Binged the whole 11 episodes in one go 🙈

A man with 4 women🤣. I’m curious to see how this will play out.

In the first scene, Liu Yuning and one of his buddies (the one who died) in the Prisoners of Beauty. Brought me a bit of nostalgia.

Your perspective shines a different light to the whole show. True, it felt very folklore-like. A unique concept indeed.

Loved it. Annoyed initially how the ML kept being the butt of all schemes despite his extreme smartness. But, he definitely used it well at last. I should have known that classic C-drama often leave resolving of issues to the last minute, LOL! Anyway, good ending.

Now, I see what you meant. He finally screwed them over with all the knowledge he had. They didn’t even expect it. Loved it! It ended nicely.

Not yet. I just got frustrated with how he was being played in Chang’an when he returned. Just in Ep. 30 now. I will watch to the end and see how it all plays out

Ok, they wrote this man, Li Shande to be so stupid. I mean in real life, no one lets the same people who harm them once harm them again. They become wary and can see schemes. But, the character, Li Shande, never adapts and always falls to people’s schemes even the same kind too.

Unbelievable! Maybe it is to extend the length of the drama. Makes no sense to me.

Super! Thanks for the recommendation.

I do not think I e ever watched such action packed show from China before. This is so well done. At par with 90s Hollywood classic action movies. The chores of the fight scenes are so good. I also love that it is not the typical spy drama. This one has a lot of action fighting to keep one interested. First time seeing the Male Lead in this kind of role (there are specific Chinese actors they cast for this kind of action roles ). He delivered.
