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.Was this review helpful to you?
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.

Heavy Novel
The series was so heavy on me that it was like a heavy novel. Heavy Novel. Back and forth, unnecessary conversations, unnecessary fill-in-the-blank applications, versions, meaningless attractions such as one person coming in two minutes and another coming in two days, someone pursuing a devil becoming a toy in the hands of the devil after a while. While one was given a high rank, the other was not. The same positions, the same games, the same conflicts, the same thing repeated many times. We got tired of it. I was fed up. I found the leading roles incompatible. Let me say it from the beginning. I don't know why, but there was a sense of forcedness. As if the female lead was in love with getting ahead of the man. In my opinion, the best of the series was Chen Xiao Yun in the women's role. Jing Chao in the men's. Hai Yi Tian was a complete general. I don't know if anyone could have done a treacherous general better. I liked it very much. Our girl in the role of the daughter wasn't bad either. But since they always played the same thing, their roles weren't really understood. When the story started, it was more realistic and beautiful. She was doing her evil, making herself known. The jokes were on point. The longer the series got, which was 40 episodes too many. The series ended in 24 episodes. The extensions and squeezing made the series useless. It got really bad. It got heavy, it became meaningless. It turned into a salad of words. Kidnappings with unclear purposes, relocations, no sir, that family, that family, it turned into a series that was just a waste of time. Even 7 was too much for me to put in the effort. Unfortunately, you can't hold a candle to ending things that start well badly. In other words, you are good at this job. I liked the supporting roles and the other actors. Everyone did their job. I didn't like the leading roles. They should watch themselves. Either they couldn't keep the rhythm, or they were cold to each other. Or they wanted to get ahead of each other. I don't know. Or there was something wrong with what was conveyed. Some actors listen to the director and don't show their own game. Some want to put in something from themselves in order to be good. Acting has these things. Something like that can happen too. I didn't pass on that spirit, that excitement, that love, that affection to me. It was dragged on for no reason, there was too much unnecessaryness, illogicality was at its peak. In other words, reality is not valued at all for some reason. You can't ask why. It's something like that. It was a heavy series. Like a heavy novel.Was this review helpful to you?
Female dominance
I watched it from beginning to end with great enjoyment and curiosity. It was one of the best series I've seen recently. However, from what you might call episode 20, or maybe episode 25, the series deteriorated again. Whether they added something after the story ended or something else, they ruined this beautiful series. The integrity of the series was broken. I was going to give it a 9, but I've reduced it to an 8. I liked it so much that I was going to say it was one of the best series of recent times. The usual thing happened, and unfortunately, Chinese screenwriters ruin series towards the end. They don't know how to end them. Or they start to become nonsensical towards the end. They get caught up in the panic of how to end it, how to tie up the story. Or they just don't care. They say, "Watch it or not, that's it for me."Cinematically, in terms of direction, acting, costumes, makeup, everything is very good, the story is also good, but in the final episodes, it's like they didn't realize how they were going to finish these 36 episodes; it's like the series was only 26 episodes long. I couldn't understand why they deviated from the main story and shifted to other things. I couldn't reconcile the series with the final episodes. I mean, I couldn't connect it to the story. Otherwise, you can drag it out endlessly, and it loses its appeal. That's exactly what happened.
Especially the pardon of the main culprit in the final episodes was unbelievable. It didn't suit the series. It wasn't a good ending.
It was a series where female dominance was very noticeable. These days, Chinese dramas are focusing on themes highlighting women's dominance and success in social life. This was one of them. There was a lot of praise for women's achievements. It was very noticeable.
I liked the chemistry between the lead actors. All the actors were harmonious and good. I recommend everyone watch it.

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.Was this review helpful to you?
Two separate worlds
Generally speaking, I liked the series. However, I didn't like the ending. It was not a pleasant ending. At first, I didn't find the lead actors compatible with each other. Irene Song is a petite type. His very thin face is a bit childish, if you look deeply you can also see an old face on the same face. He has such a face too. He is a chirpy, active, enthusiastic, childish type. No matter who he plays with, let alone Wang Yu Shouo, such romantic roles are not for him. I watched it as two separate characters. I watched Irene Song and Wang Yu Shou as if they were two separate personalities, I accepted them as if they were separate rather than together. They couldn't come together completely anyway. But as an actor, I can't say anything to anyone. The role assigned to Irene Song was too much. Also, he has been activated, he has become a general, he is fighting and overthrowing everyone in his path. But he doesn't seem to have the strength to raise his hands. 35 kg. A girl who weighs This role is too much for him. So wrong person. I'm not saying he couldn't do his role. It didn't suit him. There was no double. However, they played their roles well. The story was good. Drama scenes were nice. I felt like I was about to cry. I was so impressed. The activation scenes were also nice. The actors were good. The supporting cast was also good. I will not touch on the simplicities and mistakes. Because it happens in every TV series. There were many. But it can be watched. It's a series you can watch without much expectation.Was this review helpful to you?

A Zhao Lu Si Classic
It was a good series that I enjoyed watching. It has become a more watchable series with the difference of Zhao Lu Si. Because the player has a lot of influence. Let me say so, it has increased the quality and watchability of the series even more. Otherwise it would be a more ordinary series. It's a series that we can't say anything like because it's fantastic. There were minor mistakes and places where I thought it would have been better if it wasn't like this. There were places I found wrong. But overall, it was a good series. Other players were good too. Unfortunately, Wang An Yu appeared in ninety percent of the drama with the same face, a resentful, sad, tearful face. I do not know the reason. Maybe the director wanted it that way. However, it suited his role. The two leads were compatible. Besides them, I liked Li Yun Rui, CAo Fei Ran, He Kai Lang, Jia Nai. Cao Fei Ran was especially successful in the role of the evil woman. I liked it as a game. The management and shooting were very good. I recommend it to fantasy series lovers.Was this review helpful to you?
The Rise of a Maid
I've never watched a series that was this short from beginning to end before This was the first one I started and finished. Success stories interest me. These themes are frequently explored in Chinese dramas. There are even stories of women who enter the palace as servants and become queens. Of course, their experiences, their struggles against evil, and their rise through the ranks are captivating. I like these kinds of stories, and I've watched many similar series. This series was good. That aspect caught my attention. I watched it with curiosity. I liked it. However, I encountered the fact that it was kept too simplistic. Also, the story was superficially explored without in-depth investigation. The idea of a servant ruling everything was excessive. In other words, it didn't work. Similarly, in this palace where those who gain power kill each other, it's almost impossible for this servant to rise through so much intrigue and planning over such a long period. Because she has no authority. She's just an ordinary servant. Anyone could kill her. No one would even ask. In such a time period, such a place, you're not only preventing death, but you're also imprisoning and punishing members of the royal family who are far more powerful than you. It lacks credibility. Maybe there are small things. You can prove your point. Or you can prevent some things with your intelligence. You're clever. You're intelligent. You're educated; you can get away with some things that way. But never everything. From this perspective, we can see that the series lacks credibility and realism. But if you don't mind such things, you can watch it with curiosity.Apart from the lead actress Jade Cheng, I didn't like any of the actors. Jade Cheng really carried the series on her own from beginning to end. She was very successful. But there was no one suitable for her, no one who could carry the series with her. Aaron Deng was very weak; he could have been omitted altogether.The acting of the actresses playing the palace lady, the emperor's wife, and the concubine was terrible. It was obvious they were acting. I didn't like it. I only gave it a 7.5 rating because I watched it out of curiosity. As I said, the fact that it's a success story attracted me and made me watch it.

Lots of bloody fights
I liked the series. However, it's not a show everyone will enjoy and watch. There are too many fight scenes and too much blood. It's almost impossible to see a decent man. There's no romance. There's no romance. There's a female character, but it seems far from romantic.It's a cautionary tale. They captured the situation of the time beautifully. It's done very close to reality. This is where we know that being too realistic doesn't appeal to people. This is also why the viewership has dropped. I think it's a cautionary tale. It's also a revenge drama, and it's a depiction of evil, poverty, lawlessness, injustice, the hegemony of the upper class, and a system where the powerful oppress the weak. Of course, there are those who defy the order, those who try to enforce the law, but they don't let them do it. They've portrayed it beautifully.
I liked the director. I liked the plot. I hope there's a sequel. I liked the play and the actors. There are some things I didn't like, but they don't mean much. For example, the situation of General Curcen. First of all, the actor lacks the charisma of a general. Second, it's nice that he shows his true self, but he also gets crushed. Both of these things don't make sense together. The actor couldn't distinguish between them. It didn't work. A general takes a beating like a general. He experiences pride like a general. He also expresses his crush like a general. When he's beating someone, he's like a general, but when he's being crushed, he's like a homeless person, unemployed, or a vagrant. No way.
So, there were a few flaws in the character and the portrayal of it. Of course, in my opinion. Secondly, the excessive amount of blood and fight scenes, along with the constant lack of visuals, affected watchability. Monotony prevailed. This series dominated by poor visuals. I think it would have been much more engaging if the plot had been diversified with a few more incidents.
As for the actors, Ro Woon was a perfect fit for the role; the image transformed him; he looked different from his real self. His acting was quite good. I really liked it. Shin Ye Eun was rarely seen. He was good when he did. I think the star of the series was Choi Gwi Hwa. I've seen this actor in a few dramas this year, and we'll see him in more. I think his performance is a candidate for Best Supporting Actor of 2025. I really liked it. Well done. I hope he wins an award. Park Seo Ham also appeared in very little, but he was good. Park Ji Hwan also did a great job, and his image was spot on. He suited him very well. He was also a great actor. The group of thugs with him were similar. They performed well. Another actor who suited the role was Jeon Bae Su as Chief Kang, who was also very good. He suited the role very well. I liked it. Choi Won Yong also appeared in very little, but he was a good one. I liked it. Kim Dong Won seemed a bit good at first as the General, but then he couldn't carry the General burden. He should have used the same attitude constantly. It seemed to me he couldn't maintain it. Kudos for his effort. Overall, I liked the cast. I've also noted the notable ones. I also congratulate the director. I recommend it to those who haven't seen it and appreciate realism.

How Fresh Litchi Turned Stale
It was one of the rare realistic Chinese dramas I've watched recently. I really liked it. It had some flaws, but they didn't affect the overall effect. Some of the actors also had weak roles. Apart from that, I was very impressed by the realistic and immersive exploration of the events surrounding the fresh litchi shipment, the detailed portrayal of the characters, the perfect reflection of the bureaucratic and hierarchical structure of the time, the oppression of the people by the authorities of the time, bribery, extortion, extortion, a concubine's demands for impossible things, the slightest touch of romance and family relations, the portrayal of trade and related services, the conflicts there, and the revenge. It's an adaptation of a novel. I congratulate the writer and director. They conveyed it beautifully. I also commend the writer's writing. I especially liked the lead actor, Lei Jia Yin. She played her true self. It's hard to act this realistically. She was that good. Congratulations. Also, Yue Yun Peng was great. Well done. GOng Lei was great. Well done. Feng Jia Yi was fantastic. Well done. Lu Liang portrayed a knowledgeable, experienced merchant beautifully. Well done. Our girl Li Luo Yi, who played Xu Er, was very good. Kun Yu was also very good. I really liked it. Especially in the final scenes of the last episode, her death scene with Yun Peng made me cry. Lu Fang Cheng was very good. It really angered me. I liked Zhou Mei Jun. Shawn Dou added color. He was charismatic. Zhang Tian Ai played beautifully. Beautiful portrayal. Well done. Nashi was very different. A different actor. I noticed the difference. Vivienne Tien also suited the role very well. Congratulations. I liked all the other actors. As I said, there were minor flaws, but with such a large number of actors, there's excitement. Overall, I watched a very realistic, constructive, and exemplary series, and I really liked it. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it.Was this review helpful to you?
Eat, drink, sleep
The series was similar to several others I've watched. That's why I skipped some parts. I didn't particularly like the casting; the supporting cast was mediocre, and there were too many actors. Now, they pull every kind of nonsense they can, claiming to be a fantasy series. Impossible things are made to happen. Mistakes aren't dwelled on as fantasy, but they're corrected in the same fantastical way. Something like that.Secondly, I liked the leads, but they were separate. They didn't strike me as a couple. They held the female lead to a very naive, low standard from the start, and then made her the leader of demons. Elevating her from a character who only cares about eating, drinking, and sleeping to extreme characters that transcend her is also fitting for a fantasy series. In contrast, our male character is a master. He's very knowledgeable, a jack-of-all-trades, a warrior, a vengeful, handsome, and qualified. He's immortal.
They don't suit each other at all. As I mentioned, there weren't any supporting characters, and I didn't like them. I'll just list the ones I liked.
And I don't know if this is specifically for the lead actors in these series. There's a trend to playing with the same face. Our lead character played this way from beginning to end, a serious, sullen, detached character who looked down on everyone. He didn't laugh. He shed a few tears. His face was the same all the time. His face was the same when he looked at his loved ones, the same when he took revenge, the same when he looked at his enemies. He was probably just a taché. They said this was the character. Play with that face. The female actor, on the other hand, had more variety. She laughed, had fun, got angry, shouted, called out, was serious and funny. Starting from this, our female actor was very diligent, versatile, and her facial expressions were beautiful, and it made me feel it. She conveyed love and affection well. In fact, I thought she was comfortable. I liked it. Our male actor, as I said, played with the same face. Playing with that face for 33 episodes is a feat. He was successful. He was good. I liked it, but I didn't like the monotony. I liked Wang Yi Ting. Gao Han, on the other hand, seemed a bit panicked. I don't know if he didn't like his role, but he played it strangely, as if he couldn't fully commit to it. Master actors like Zeng Li, Huang Hai Bing, and He Zhong Hua also added color to the series. I watched it from beginning to end. But I don't know if I'll watch it again.

A heavy story and narration, good acting
It was a series that I liked in general. I watched it until the end. Although the story was not perfect, it was a good story but it had a slow rhythm. I got bored sometimes while watching. The long conversations were especially boring. It confused the story. The beautiful series sometimes fell to the ground. However, the savior was the actors. Get rid of the actors, the story remains below zero. The series stopped being a series. The actors saved the series.It does not suit the series to give everything away just because we are watching a fantasy series. Even gods die, some so-called gods even eliminate their superiors. They play tricks on them, they deceive them. A deity who is an ceremonial god rules the entire world, no one hears his soul. A god packages a city and sends it 250 km to the other side. The person next to him cannot understand who he is. Who has the power to do such a thing? He learns at the end of the series. After that, there are angers, resentments, etc. The man cuts his hand and throws it away. They wake him up. He returns to the world with his healthy hand. What happened to that cut hand? You will say, the man is dead and you are asking about his hand? It is really such a situation. I gave examples to explain the seriousness of the series. They even hit the bottom of fantasy. It didn't happen. What a shame for these beautiful actors. If it weren't for them, it wouldn't have been watched anyway. They should pray for the actors, I gave the score for the effort. Liu Xiue Yi is a very good actor. His face goes well with every game. He has a pale and calm facial feature, but I should call it an actor' face. He looks older than he is. He looks mature. He goes well with every role. He is a successful actor. I appreciate it. I last watched Tiffany Tang in "The Legend of Xiao Chuo". She was much better. She is a good actress anyway. I liked her acting in this series too. Sometimes there can be a good or bad distinction between actors. The male actor may be more dominant, but I think Tiffany, who got married and had children, showed her acting again and did what was required for her role. The other supporting actors were also perfect. Especially in the 30th episode, master actor Tang Jian Chang made an acting debut, her performance in her short role was applaudable. I applaud her too. Cristy Guo, Wang Hong Yi, Daniel Zhoi, Zhang Li, Jiang Kai are the prominent actors. I liked the entire cast but I thought I'd write some of them again. No offense to those I didn't write. The acting was good and the action was good.

Jun Fei Fan's Story
I liked the series from the beginning. I had hopes that something good would happen. I said there are good actors. I said there is action. I said if there is romance on top of it and it is kept in the story, it will be delicious. I wish I hadn't. The story gradually became less and less story-like. It drifted away from the subject. It turned into what I was watching. First of all, the actors are not compatible with each other. They are not equal. They are very different. Angela Baby is a very good actress but I could not recognize her in this series. Or it seems that it is getting harder for her to act as she gets older. There is no facial expression. She started with the same face and finished with the same face. Our young lead actress Song Wei Long will be a good actress. Her facial expression is very good. She plays older than her age. She is also good. However, there is no harmony between the two leads. There is no harmony. There is a difference. It is as if they are playing separately. I did not like it. Wrong match. For example, Yao Chi was wasted in this series. Except for her emotional scene in the last episode, she is almost non-existent. However, she is a very good actress who deserves to be the lead. She could not show her other skills here but she has a good fabric. In my opinion, she fits the Angel Faced Monster expression. She does these well. For example, Ren Hao was good. Because she darkened herself and went like that until the end. Because she was suitable for her role. Bai Bing Ke is a very good actress. But the character given to her. Is it a crazy princess role or something? It was like harassment from head to toe. You could have at least not called her princess, it was a shame for this actress. I liked Wang Yi Ting. The role went well for her. She did well. Her action also looked good. She also gives a good image. Well done. Young actors were better, I think. I liked the supporting roles. But I didn't like the series in general. The story didn't go as it started, it was fragmented. I'm not even going into the king and chancellor events, I mean, impossible things happened. It was a weird scenario. Especially that uncle and his son, okay, their funny side, but it made me wonder how such a businessman could exist. I was surprised whether to laugh or cry. However, the actors played well. However, the story and scenario were terrible. Sorry. It didn't work.Was this review helpful to you?
The Prince Who Doesn't Want to Be King
The story started off well. It progressed well for a while. Then it turned to the Prince Who Doesn't Want to Be King story. Although he chooses all the kings, he doesn't want to be a king himself, and he doesn't even accept getting married and having children. Such a personality. However, our hero is someone who has taken in and raised a lot of orphans, and made them into men. The woman also wants to be an apprentice to someone who fits this name. But she falls in love with her master. However, her master stands by his words even though he loves her. Good. It's understandable to some extent. However, later on, he consents to the woman he loves marrying someone else, even though she doesn't want it. This marriage breaks up. Then, the man insists again and wants to marry her again, and they get engaged again. He says yes to this. In other words, just as he plays with the woman's nerves, he also plays with the audience's nerves. Such a character is unacceptable. It's wrong. This character doesn't kill his opponents and surrenders himself to them in the last episodes of the series, despite his own soldiers coming to the rescue, despite having the opportunity. Our hero turns into a paper tiger. Because he wants to save the little king, he sacrifices himself instead. It's understandable. But it's advantageous. The little king comes to him. When he comes, he can kill both enemies in front of him. But he doesn't. He is torn to pieces by these enemies. It's not going to happen. It's not possible. But they did it. It's wrong. Likewise, let's leave aside our paper tiger hero. Our smart female hero also marries that prince. She says if my mother allows it. She agrees to marry without saying a word to her mother. Why doesn't she talk? Finally, the female hero also commits suicide. The mother says I'm guilty etc. So no matter where you look, I only have the last episodes. It didn't happen. It was like a comedy of errors. Some things didn't make sense to me. There was no sticky love affair. It seemed like loving from a distance was the most beautiful of loves. These places were good. These kinds of loves of the secondary roles were also handled well. The director was very good. The actors were very good. I really liked the cast. But I can't say the same thing about the script. I was going to give the series an 8, but I have to give it a 6.Was this review helpful to you?
