I watched it from beginning to end with great curiosity. I liked the acting, the direction. I didn't like anything else. In other words, if it weren't for the excellent cast, this series wouldn't have been watched. If you cast unknown actors and didn't have Cheng Yi, you'd just throw it away.

It's become an inconsistent, illogical, mediocre series. Simply put, the villain, Quan Jing Ting, doesn't die no matter what you do. Not only does he not die, he also wreaks havoc on everyone in sight. There's no need for another enemy. He's self-sufficient. He dies and resurrects. They destroy everything. His hands, arms, legs, bones, lungs, and spine are destroyed, but he gets back up and continues his evil deeds as if nothing happened.

Fu Gui, on the other hand, has one of his bones taken. He can't use a sword. Suddenly, he's gone. He's relegated to a secondary role. There's such absurdity. How can a leader train his own child to kill and force him to do it? It's illogical. He even makes a mistake, and the other leaders tell him to fire him, take away his abilities, and his father does the same. It's illogical. And this man protects them from demons. He kills for them. If you render this man incompetent, who will protect you? There's no answer to that. It's illogical. They're driving him away. Even if it's logical, I don't understand. I mean, the characters of Quan Jing Ting and Hong Ye are worthless. I don't understand what the screenwriter was thinking to impose these meanings on these characters. It's a shame for these actors, it's a shame for these images, and they've wasted the actors with the characters they've placed on these two actors.

For example, Ru Mu dies, and a girl, Wei Yun, suddenly has a mausoleum built in the middle of the desert. And it's beautifully designed, as if crafted by a master. It's completely unconvincing. You'll say, "This series is fantastic. This man burns a hundred people to death with his bare hands. He moves mountains. He raises water. He wields a hundred swords in the air. So, you're stuck with dementia?" I found it pointless. There were so many negatives. They didn't think or plan anything. It was a complete waste.
The chemistry between the leads was also lackluster. So, there was no real love, no connection, no trace of affection. It was very superficial. I didn't get any emotional content. They didn't contribute anything.

If the actors weren't good, even these scenes wouldn't have been watchable. Absolutely. Guo Jun Chen, He Ru Xian, Chang Hua Sen, Zhang Kai Ying, and Wang Hong Yi in the supporting roles were excellent. The relationships between these two, even if comical, seemed to contribute something. They became watchable because of the actors. I really liked Cheng Yi, Guo Jun Chen, and Chang Hua Sen. They were great together. There were some good scenes, too. I gave the series a 7.5 for their sake. I was going to lower it even further, but considering the cast, I decided it would be a shame.

Aside from that, some very valuable actors appeared in brief scenes. The series was like a celebrity parade, but the poor script took away their efforts. It was as if they'd said, "Our series is so bad, let's at least save it with good actors." I don't recommend it to anyone.

Friendship

In my opinion, it was a very emotional and entertaining series. It was a series that included friendship, brotherhood, confidant, camaraderie, helpfulness, sacrifice, respect, affection, love, emotion, family, many things all together. I like it a lot. For me, it is a series that has been covered up no matter how many flaws it has. I liked the actors too. Management too. The feeling that was intended to be given to me was reflected. There were even parts that brought tears to my eyes. He felt like that too. Our leads, Chen Ze Yuan and Ju Jing Yi, make a good duo. Jing Yi was very cheerful and active in the drama. It was as if his cheerful attitude and active play were reflected in the others, and they played so well. Ze Yuan has recently performed both good dramas and very good plays, and has become a popular actor. He showed his quality here too. He's a very sweet kid. He portrayed an innocent, pure, clean, emotional, affectionate, obedient image that attaches great importance to friendship and longs for his family. But he is also a very powerful personality. But it's never obvious. He gave this in spades. Mao Zi Jun and Mau Xao Hui also put their talents into the drama, they performed well, I liked it very much. The male actors were very handsome, our girls were very beautiful. Our veteran players also added color with their experience, everyone played really well, including those who played less. I also congratulate our director. I recommend everyone who likes fantasy series to watch it.

Mu Ze

It was a good series. I watched hard. Of course, there were aspects that I disliked and criticized. It has become a classic now, especially when a villain covers the whole series and beats everyone. Our villain is Mu Ze. Our animator Jing Chao was phenomenal. I congratulate him. He dominated the show from start to finish. It was very successful. She is only a very rich and successful business woman, she has ships, she has a fleet. They have security guards. But his sister, who is not even good for herself, gets the mother killed. Then Lu Anran is put in the coffin and buried. Meanwhile, he finds a lot of people. He controls them. It can harm others. Lu Anran, on the other hand, does not have a single person with him, despite these talents and his character. Supposedly, this Lu Xin Ran also did this in collaboration with her husband, not telling her where she was buried. How can we believe? And then this woman's death scenes were ridiculous. Mu Chuan's death scene, or rather his dead state, is splendidly animated. Our player Zhai Zi Lu looked as if he had grown and exalted. Such a lofty face of death is animated. I like. In that scene, Xing Fei's cries left their mark on the scene. It's very well animated. I congratulate him. Already in this drama, I didn't find Xing Fei very good as a lover, as a lover. But I thought that as a drama, or even melodrama actor, or in more dominant roles, he would be more successful, that he would act out these scenes better. If we look at it as lovers anyway, it looks too big for Zhai Zi Lu. The gap between the two has widened even more because the male actor is more petite, his face is more innocent, more smiling and more childish. But he seemed more in tune with Jing Chao. Both artists talked about their experiences. They made a really good game. Zhai Zi, on the other hand, was more lively and determined, especially in the last episodes. He also kind of blew it during Jing Chao.'s death scene. He showed his acting.
I think the subject of the series was about Destiny. Because in the first episode, Lu Anran got married and gave birth to a child. After their relationship, she lost the people around her, and herself. In the next episode, although he acted knowingly, the fate still did not change that he lost many people despite his intervention. However, it did save a few people. This means that no matter how much you interfere with Destiny, you cannot change some things. I believe that destiny, good and evil come from Allah. By faith. as a muslim. So no matter how much we interfere with our destiny, we cannot change it. Maybe some things can be delayed, change, but the result does not change.
If we thought that he had changed, I think that if Lu Anran had killed the Second Prince in the first place, for example, his whole fate might have changed. Why did he work so hard? Here is the issue. He also wanted to do this by being closest to the person he would take revenge on, although the result was not very heartwarming, two people who loved each other eventually got closer to each other, but they could not unite. They agreed. The ending was not happy.

Perfect Drama ​

I watched a very good, high-quality series. Apart from simple mistakes, I watched an excellent series, without any errors or obstacles, everything was in its place. It's a particularly good story, well-constructed and excellently directed. I found little fault with the management. That may also be due to the player. For example; Elisa Ye failed to die. How bad was that? She was already good at playing the bad woman. It must be from there. Fang Yin's death scene affected me the most, perhaps because it was in the last episodes. Actress Melody Tang seems to have been specially chosen for this role. I really saw him as the personality that best suited his role. Such a pure and clean face, the way he played a game accordingly, his performance in the scene where he died impressed me a lot. Here, Melody Tang's and later Bai Lu's games were very effective. I also congratulate the director. I actually cried in this scene. It was a very, very extraordinary scene. The series was completely impressive and gripping. It was perhaps one of the best TV series of recent times. As I said, the story is solid, the editing is very well done, a good director and excellent actors, except for a few people. I liked Bai Lu very much. He's already a player I like. Zhang Ling He is one of the star actors of recent times that I like. Although Wang Xing Yue is young, he is rising rapidly. Zhou Jun Wei appeared little but played effectively. He was also successful in active scenes. It got into my eye. I found it good. I can't help but mention that I liked the veteran actors Huang Hai Bing, Liu Min, Zong Feng Yan. They are very good players. Congratulations. I also liked Wang Zi Teng in this role.
I recommend the series to everyone. You have to watch. You will be sorry if you don't watch it.

Disappointment

I had high expectations from the movie. It was said to be a highly praised production. However, when I watched it; despite the familiar subject and a few TV series and movies that had been made, it was handled very poorly and could not go beyond being an ordinary movie. It gave that impression. There were supposedly good actors. The costumes were good. The action scenes were good. But that was it. The way it was handled was very simple, superficial. There was no proper love. There was no emphasis on brotherhood. It was an empty copy. I gave points for effort. It was a disappointment for me.

Strategist

Overall it was a very good series. It was an interesting and gripping series. It was a strategist series. There were a few such serials in these times. I'm watching. In other words, our leading actor directs everything, with the attitude of a knowledgeable, scholar, strategist, and planner. He makes a plan before starting a business. Acting according to plan, as well as friendship, brotherhood, an act of revenge and suppression of a rebellion. This is solved with a strategy. We watched this. The actors were quite successful. However, I don't know if there are such things from the management or in the script, but the dead do not die, in some scenes, especially in the fight scenes, someone who is very good is easily defeated. The riot of those who were hit ten times as if nothing had happened. On the contrary, very obvious mistakes, such as the squirming of the one who was hit, were striking. Especially when the old martial artist in Yuntai beat a lot of people quite a lot but the men rioted as if nothing had happened, along with blood coming out of the mouth of the one who took a blow. It didn't happen. Then the scenes where we say Jin Bo is dead. It was too noticeable. In terms of disadvantages. We finally realized that Jin B didn't die either. We were very sad too. That's why there were such emotional scenes. Love scenes too. In heartbreaking scenes. Painful ones too. I really liked the lead actors. CAST is very well done. The veteran players were also fantastic. I would like to express that I particularly like Peng Bo, who is young but shown to be older than me. He deserves better roles. This role fits perfectly. Lia Guan Lin, who plays Jin Bo, added value to her role, Well done. I loved the role, the good fight scenes but also the jokes and the display of sensitivity towards children and making love to a waitress. The fight scenes are well shot, apart from the negativities I mentioned. That's why I broke 1 note from there. Such rambling negativities affect the series, which will be at the 9-10 level, to the 8 level. Some things are irrational. Supposedly, Chen Xiao thinks big, he plans. She produces strategy. Our screenwriter must have worked on them. But in simple scenes, illogicality is knee-deep. Anyway, all in all I really liked it. I recommend everyone to watch it.

Friendship

I haven't seen many TV shows in this genre. But this series pulled me in. It was like a thief-cop drama. But the thief became a cop. Here, too, it is adapted, as if the Royal uniformed guards. It's been said. Maybe they are guards. Let's say security force. A thief becomes a cop by taking someone else's identity and the events that follow. Of course, in the next events, as a result of the events between the guards in a prison, the children of the guards and the convicted children, who were involved in the event, met again as guards, thieves and assassins, that is, 8-10 years later, the events that developed. Meanwhile, a King is a prince who wants to overthrow that king. These are the personalities we're talking about. There were some places where I got mixed up once in a while. There were parts that I didn't like and even found weird. However, when we look at the whole, be it its action, its curiosity, its processing, it drew me in and made me watch it. I also found the actors successful. Especially Leon Zhang as the thief. He fits the role very well. Likewise, Chen Ruo fits the role of the guard police chief very, very well. It was fantastic. It is also compatible with the body. Also as a building. As the assassin I couldn't make up, I found Sun Yi very innocent, very baby-faced, weak, fragile, fragile. I didn't like it. On the contrary, Ma Yu Jie suits her role. The white man Danny Ray was just right. I like it a lot. I found him very suitable for the role. They said let's add some romance, but it didn't happen. I guess they said let's leave it as it is. There's no need for that in all that hustle and bustle. If there were, a little more would not have caught sight. It would be fine. In the last two episodes, some parts seemed to be very long, and some parts were short on the contrary. It's okay to say I didn't like the ending. Anyway; overall it was nice. I enjoyed watching it. I advise.

Sensuality and Death

It was a very good series. I got pretty emotional while watching it. There was a lot of action, a lot of fight scenes. There were too many hit-and-miss scenes and too many deaths. As such, the feelings that spread to those left behind, of course, passed on to me while watching. My only reservation from the drama was Qin Jun Jie. I love her very much. I watch your shows. Nice, fun player. He's into comedy. There are plenty of action and fight scenes in this series as well. Of course he wins them all. But the actress is already tall but thin. She doesn't have a flamboyant body. Not athletic. Also, it is recommended because they don't dress according to him. He looks both very thin and frail in those clothes. So, you say, what kind of hero is this? So that was not taken into account. When did it come to mind, in the last scenes. If only they had remade the clothes there. The actor would have displayed a more imposing, more tidy stance. I put a minus here. Otherwise, I really liked the cast. Valuable players. Liang Jie, Xing Fei, Lin Yu Shen, Ye Xian Ming, and others were very, very good. They fit well in their roles. Our supporting players were also excellent. The effects of the series on being so beautiful and watchable are huge. Of course, there are many mistakes, redundancies, things that should not be, fantastic events. There may be people who didn't like it, but I watched it with passion. I like. It was the kind of show I loved. And when there are famous actors and strong players, the pleasure of watching increases even more. I congratulate our director for this. He's been very busy. God bless your hands. It is an ideal series for those who like action and fight scenes, who enjoy emotionality, a little love and romance, friendship events. I advise.

Scheming Yu Lou

I can say that it is a quality production. It was nice. I had fun while watching it, I felt the romance both in terms of romantic comedy and showing a real love. It was not bad. Especially the romantic comedy between Wei Liang and Xia Tao was very entertaining. It was not good that it ended badly. I liked these. The romance of the leading actors pales in comparison to theirs. The relationship between Xiao Fan and Bi Zhi smelled of excessive romance but it did not pass us by. Because it was like the product of a cold relationship. I likened it to the relationship between a maid and her mistress within the framework of the marriage of a nobleman and a slave. But the spirit was given. In other words, the feeling that they were blindly in love was given. It was given but I did not get it. That is, something like that. Let's put it this way; the advantages of the series are that the production is very good, the costumes, the cast, the action, the acting, the management are perfect. However, there were problems with the story. Or I felt problems with the reflection. I could not find it suitable for the beauty and quality of the series.
We watched the classic Yu Lou. In my opinion, it was a fiasco from beginning to end. If you ask why. Think of a person, the woman the heir of the Wei Dynasty loves, but the man dies before they can get married. Before he dies, he says, "Take care of her, take care of her". But the woman marries someone else. He also dies. She becomes a talk of the town with someone else. She does not stay idle. This time, she is interested in the brother of the man who loves her, and wants to have a relationship with him. That person, Wei Shao, does not reciprocate her interest, but takes care of her as his brother's trust. He does not show the interest and attention he shows her to his wife, whom he marries. He hosts her in the best guest rooms. He does not do anything he says. But he does not reciprocate the woman's interest, that is, her love for him. Thereupon, Yu Lou starts various intrigues. Every time, what he did is revealed and Lord Wei forgives him. In the end, his secret is revealed and he gets fed up with it, so he kills Yu Lou's brother. She cuts off Yu Lou's nose, she says she will inform the other dynasties that she did this, she will send you home too, but none of this happens and the same woman continues her evil deeds by showing interest and concern for someone else, again by making people fight each other, until the end of the series. Even enduring this was agony. It was so simple, I mean, they shouldn't use it anymore. It looks like a patchwork sack now. I mean, this character is a character that is put there to make people fight each other, she is thrown around and owned as much as no one else is owned. I couldn't make sense of it. I think it was too much. Either this character should have been completely in the series, for example, she should have been the wife of the deceased brother. She should have had a say in the dynasty so that what she did would be useful. She wanders from one branch to another like a sparrow landing on another branch. Like a prostitute. And she is held in high esteem. Can such a character exist? Can this be valued? Could a man attack his wife for this? Could he strangle her? You would be amazed how such a clever and cruel person could believe this woman's nonsense. It didn't happen. I didn't like it. It overshadowed the beauty of the series. Would a dead husband leave his wife a general and 50,000 soldiers? Doesn't that dynasty have an heir? What a meaningless, meaningless thing. It's a whole other thing that other dynasty leaders believe such a woman. Is everyone an idiot? Is there no reasoning, no research is done. No investigation. No checking whether it's true or false. In other words, it's a complete fiasco.
Telling gossip to children by singing songs. It's probably a CHINESE classic now. Do you have a grudge against someone? Take 10 children and show them around the city. Make people sick of you. Such an approach. Can't gossip be normal in these days? Or in this country. These are simplistic. Screenwriter mistakes.
They kidnap Xiao Fan, her father tells his son-in-law that if you don't do what I say, I'll kill my daughter. Or Liu Yan will kill you. A father threatening his son-in-law with killing his daughter. Wouldn't a father tell him not to kill my daughter? I've never seen such logic. I've never heard of it. I understand if you and your daughter are at odds. You must have become enemies. There is no such thing. What is it? They were going to pull the groom to their side. After all, the girl killed herself. If the groom Bi Zhi had thrown the spear in his hand at those who were standing against him and threatening him instead of using it on those who were with him. The case would have been closed long ago. Logically wrong.
There is a backstreet at the entrance to the city. When Liu Yan's army enters, the Wei soldiers oppose him, draw their swords and fight like that.
But when the Wei army comes, Liu Yan's soldiers shoot arrows. The Wei soldier cannot enter or loses a lot of soldiers from the beginning.
If both armies had done the same, Li Yan would not have been able to enter that city. Another logical error. You make one shoot arrows. Let it not enter. You don't let the other shoot arrows, let it enter. At least you should have found another game, scriptwriter. It didn't work. Such simplicity doesn't suit this beautiful series.
I must say that I liked the harmony of the lead actors. If Liu Yu Ning is an IDOL, I also enjoy watching her. I accept the term IDOL series. I watch almost all of her series. Those who haven't watched can watch.

A Queen's epic of existence

I want to start by saying that I liked the series. But just because I liked it doesn't mean that there are no aspects to criticize. First of all, I can say that it was very meticulous, no expense was spared, everything was done perfectly in the production, be it the costumes, the casting, the crowded cast, the locations, the scenes. The action scenes were amazing. However, there was a kind of imitation. I especially sensed an imitation of the Game of Thrones series. There are many similar scenes. I even compared the clothing and images. These are not at all similar to the clothing and cabinet member styles in other Korean series. You will say that these are the early days, when the tribes were at the forefront. There will be differences. I understand, I say. There are deep differences. For example, shamanism is very prominent. Nudity and sex scenes are interspersed, there were many especially in the beginning episodes. It was cut later. Maybe one was necessary, I think the others were unnecessary. The aim here is, yes, there are those, war, turmoil, fights, ambitions, jealousies, a lot of things, of course there was sex too. It seemed like they were shoved in our faces as if they had a sex life. It could be. The writer and director must have known something of course. But some of it was unnecessary. I liked the actors. Especially our queen Jun Jong Seo is very successful, she made a great effort to make herself felt in that attitude despite her body and youth, I congratulate her. I also found Ji Jang Wook successful. Especially her image suits her very well, she was shown differently than she is. She was quite majestic. I liked it. Kim Moo Yul is one of the rare actors who can achieve this with his calmness, I found him extremely successful. He showed this in every scene. He maintained the same style for a long time. Well done. Jung Yu Mi, Jo Han Chul, Lee So Hyuk, Park Ji Hwan, Lee Hae Woo were the actors who caught my eye. I also congratulate Park Bo Youn for his courage. Someone who says that role is his cannot and would not play it. As far as I know, her husband is also an actor and they did a hard job. I especially congratulate this actor. Bravo. I think there will be a sequel to the series. Because the war ended instead of starting. What happened, what ended. We don't know. We are waiting for the next season to find out. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it.

Rising from the bottom to the top

It was a very good series. I watched it with curiosity and enjoyment. I didn't like the ending. I think there will be a second season. That's why it ended like this. The fight scenes were especially good. The actors were good. The direction was good. Were there any mistakes? There were. There were many, we could say minor ones. It's a fantasy series, so I overlooked some things. It wasn't a perfect series. There were flaws. There were parts we couldn't understand. For example, an actor makes a devastating blow, everyone dies, and the person manipulating them escapes unscathed. He moves on to commit new evils. I didn't understand why they portrayed a very obvious event this way. There were a lot of things like that. You know, you shouldn't just dismiss it as a fantasy series. Fantasy can't be fantastic. It needs a little bit of potential. The audience needs respect. It was a good series, but these kinds of things don't suit the series.

As for the cast: I liked the cast. Good actors, young and beautiful actors, were together. Gong Jun single-handedly carried the weight of the series. He had a great role. He was good. I liked it. He and Chang Hua Sen made a good pair. I liked him too. The female actors were both beautiful and acted well. They were all very good. Qiao Zhen Yu and Geng Le were charismatic and suited their roles. Gao Ji Cai, Zhang Wei Na, Bai Shu, and Zhao Hua Ran were the standouts. Ray Chang and Guo Jia Nan added a bit of color with their limited appearances. Well done. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it. I'm also looking forward to the second season.

Overall, it was a very good series. I enjoyed watching it. The acting, in particular, was excellent. I congratulate the director. Beautiful filming, beautiful acting, beautiful action scenes. Are there any mistakes? I attribute these to the screenwriter. There were many character flaws. I mean, a person's character is what it is. It doesn't change. Their temperament changes. I can't quite explain it. For example, in this series, the princess chooses the prince she sees over her beloved brother. This prince is trying to kill his brother. Knowing all this, it's impossible for her to insist and say she loves him very much. She regrets it later, which the other person already says. I have no interest in it. You're making these things seem like things, in other words, you're making her choose the older brother. Then you end the series by calling this girl "brother." The older brother, who is at loggerheads with the person she said she loved, ends up killing this man. Which one is correct? I don't agree with that. Such a character doesn't exist. There are flaws in the Emperor's character too. I think he's at fault. He kills his father-in-law, the queen, right before her eyes, with his concubine by his side. And then this woman becomes queen. The king, knowing all this, values ​​the queen. No matter how much trouble his son causes them, he blames his son. Ultimately, this father and daughter kill the emperor too. But before killing the emperor, his son kills his father-in-law. The emperor says, "My revenge has been taken." You didn't do these things while you were in power; you blamed your son, and after all, your son disobeyed you and killed this person. You've come to your senses. I think these characterizations are flawed. If a character hates someone, they do. You can't just say, "I did it today, I forgave you tomorrow, I gave up the next day," and then these characters change their character. And then this emperor is forced to call the woman who killed their mother, who caused it, "mother." That's what the father wants. What is this? It's completely perverse. Such a character doesn't exist. These are flawed. They're wrong. Certain things need to be considered before writing. Also, the eunuch, who was always at the emperor's side, wasn't around when the emperor was killed. A huge mistake. How could such a scenario even exist? He comes back hours later. He went for a walk. He went to the restroom. Look, in the state administration, the person in charge is the emperor's sole aide. He doesn't go anywhere without him. So many things happen. Hours pass. If this person leaves, they leave a replacement. They're notified immediately. Eunuch services aren't just sketchy. It's a no-brainer. If a eunuch leaves, another eunuch takes over. I'm not even counting the watchmen. If something happens to the emperor, they're immediately notified. An emperor doesn't just leave himself out in the meadow, acting like a patron. This is a mistake. The screenwriter didn't pay attention to these matters. He's probably saying it happens when the eunuch isn't there. It's bound to happen. A man won't sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, run an errand. But someone always takes over. It can't be just one eunuch. There are a hundred eunuchs, and as many guards. There's a guard commander. They're soldiers. You send them out on command. But eunuchs definitely take orders from the emperor. The screenwriter should know this better than I do. These things were overlooked. I'm not even going to get into the whole issue of a childhood friend and the person most loyal to the emperor acting as if nothing ever happened and then turning into an enemy. These things can happen. But the way he instilled it in us so deeply, making us submit to the emperor and then turning things into a blood feud, seemed too much to me. It was overdone. The fact that his childhood friend's father prioritized the prince and put it on the back burner, and that the prince was saved and left behind to suffer, and then the prince didn't call them, got ingrained in him for years, and he held it in his heart and became hostile towards the prince. That's possible too. But in this reversal, these children continue to be friends with each other. Doesn't one of them ever ask the other, "Why didn't you call me?" They don't ask. They bottle it up and try to overthrow the emperor. That's too much. Then they'll ask him why you continued the friendship. Why did you continue? You became such a sweetheart. You got closer and closer. Then you went behind his back. Things happen when you're a child. Then you can say, "I'm not talking to you." Your mind might not try to plan, but you could have told him to his face. I think these things are missing. But people can get angry and do certain things. I agree. Everyone can write according to their own ideas. It's up to us to watch. As I said at the beginning, I liked the actors. I liked the acting. Our leads were almost overshadowed by the supporting roles. There were some really good actors. Chen He Yi and Qin Tian Yu delivered some excellent performances, practically surpassing themselves. Edie Cheung, Zhao Bin, Li Yu, Lu Xing Yu, Jiang Kai, Michelle Hu, and Xu Xiao Sa—these veteran actors—acted as if they were giving an acting lesson. I really liked them. They tore themselves apart. I also liked Xia Meng, Wang Zi Teng, Zhang Cheng Lang, Sheng Ying Hao, Ding Jia Wen, and Xia Ming Hao. The harmonies between our leads were good. I found Li Qin more dynamic and relaxed. I think it was the director's influence. He delivered a different role than his usual one. Chen Ze Yuan, despite being younger, was very successful. I recommend it to those who haven't seen it.

Brotherhood

The first season ended in a way reminiscent of the second season. So it seems like there must be a sequel. I think the series is an old production and has been put on hold until 2024. While describing the inter-clan wars, the internal events of the Zichuan clan they are in are described. The Clan Chief Lord and his niece, the princess, rule the clan, but a rebellion occurs within the clan, but it is not successful. The Chief, whom we thought to be very passive, old, inefficient and weak, turns out to be cunning and competent. He saves his clan. However, while saving him, he also commits ruthless massacres, especially those committed by generals like Di Lin. In any case, the rebellious Minister of War was also ruthless. Di Lin was also his cultivation. His death occurred because he was not with her. Yang Xu Wen, who appears as the primary protagonist here, stands out with his cunning and skillful strategy that does not show itself outwardly. But in the distribution of roles, it is as if three brothers shared three roles. The leading roles were shared. There doesn't seem to be anyone who appears primary. I saw Li Yu Ning in another leading role. Yang Xu is given a bit of awkwardness, making him seem unqualified as a fun personality. I think he does his role well, but it seems fake to me. It didn't happen. The female lead who accompanied him, Li Mo Zhi., also seemed passive to me. It's like they were forced to be a couple. It's like they were forced to accept acting in this series. Our third lead, Zhang Ming En, did his part, but he didn't have the consistency I wanted either. So they did their part. They have no excess. I think the best one is Liu Yu Ning. Let me say that he neither exaggerated nor underplayed his game, and in my opinion, this passivity was the best. He didn't have any excess either. I think the supporting roles were more successful. Supporting actors such as Ma Shao Hua, Zhang Fan, Benjamin Zhang, Xiu Qing were more successful. They added value to their roles. I like. I liked the action and battle scenes. I loved the excitement. I liked the production and direction. I'm waiting for the second season too.

It's one of my favorite shows of the season. Especially since I like Leo Wu and Zhao LuSi so much, it became an even more special drama for me. CAST was very successful. Although there were occasional disruptions in the story, the actors were very strong, the management was good. Therefore, the story flowed very well and was reflected to the audience.
Our series, which actually contains a beautiful love story, was a revenge series. From the beginning to the end, we always felt this vengeance secretly. We felt love as being with him when he needed it, being saved by it many times, admiration behind the gratitude for it, and then being strongly attached. It went on like this until the end. We understood that even if a resentful person is in peace, they cannot be separated, and that they will not be in the heart with another person, even in appearance. These were presented to us in such a beautiful way. I congratulate the director and the actors for this.
The series did not pass with mere revenge and love games, there was action, there was war, there was loyalty, there was comedy. Especially Cheng Grandma was awesome. I pass alone. I bow respectfully before our artist. I really liked your game. The other comedian, Baba Cheng Shi, was also great. Mother Yuan Yi followed them. I admired him. Our Emperor Jieng Feng did a great job. He was good at everything. He's also very into comedy. The harmony of the spouses with each other was also wonderful. I have never seen such an emperor consortium before. At the same time, they fascinated with their beauty. Likewise, there was a perfect harmony and acting, be it teenagers, princesses, princes, other family children. I can say I'm lost.
The harmony of our lead couple was also great. Congratulations to them. I'm waiting for your new series. I hope to watch.
I think this was the flash series of the year. It was the number one series for me. I have several such strings. We look forward to the continuation. Please producers and directors we are waiting for such great series sir. Health to your hands.

Friendship, brotherhood

I liked the series. I watched it with interest. Were there any parts I didn't like? Yes. Were there any mistakes? Yes. But I don't want to talk about these. Because I watched the series with interest until the end and generally liked it. First of all, friendship and brotherhood are discussed. It was very emotional in some parts. It made me sad that the heroes died. I was especially saddened by the death of Yueri's character. His words before he died seemed to indicate that he would die. Like let's always be together, never be apart, let's grow old together. Even the fact that the man she loved was excluded as a lover because he loved someone else did not affect her. He continued his friendship and brotherhood. This really impressed me. I am sad. The deaths of Tang Yu., the character who had to be bad but tried to be good because he loved him, the Female General, the immortal master winemaker, and the fairy butterfly, had an impact. Finally, Ling Er went to her death. The series ended before I could feel it. Looks like there's more to come. What I mean is that there were very emotional, sad scenes and an ending. But I felt the love, warmth and friendship in the series. I especially liked He Yu.'s performance. This kid has acted in good TV series lately and proven himself. I think he will be a sought-after star. I liked your game. It is also successful in activation. It suits me too. Yang Yu Tong, on the other hand, seems a little more subdued. I last saw him in a small role in the TV series Faithful. I liked it very much. Maybe that's why he was offered the lead role in this series, or maybe it was because of his bravery. Because there may have been some people who didn't want to shoot the snake scenes. In my opinion, the role may not have suited him. I do not know. I guess it wasn't the first name thought of. He also portrayed a good character as A Nu in Hu Yi Xuan from the TV series Faithful. I like. He was also very successful in Faithful. He was successful here too. Likewise, I also really liked Xu Hao, who played the character Yueru. Was very good. Overall the cast was good. But I would like to say that I did not find some of the actors, especially Yu Tong, good in this drama. For example, I couldn't understand what Zeng Li was doing. Why did you waste such an actor here, he was so funny in the role you gave him. I didn't like the role given. It didn't happen. I didn't like the actor playing the king. It didn't happen. There were deficiencies in CAST. You must fit the selected actor well into the role you have chosen. Suitable for his role. He should give his due. It's a shame to cast a good actor in an unfair role. Because the role isn't worth a damn. I have seen such shortcomings. But overall it was nice. Well done to those who worked hard. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it. Watch.
