I enjoyed watching the adventures of Wen Ning and Lan Si Zhui. Also, we see how Wen Ning is doing after he left Wei Ying's side.
His personality kind of changed drastically and he became more serious, mature and confident. Especially he is now more confident while talking.
Also, he is more in control of his power, as Wei Ying used to control him. Maybe, his change was because that he left to find himself and he aimed to help other people.
Also, maybe some years have passed and that made him change, I don't know. Anyway, I like this side of Wen Ning :)
Also, the CGI was kind of bad and fake, but since it's a spin off, I kind of expected that.
I loved it so much! <3 I cried a lot, I laughed, I was sad, I was angry, etc. It gave so much emotions.
First of all, the sypnopsis does not give justice to the story at all, since it a basic description of the first episode. However, one cannot describe this story in few sentences, as the story is complicated and opens up in lots of things. So I understand if the synopsis is how it is, you just need to watch it.
But, the story is not complicated that you cannot understand it or gets you confused or there is absurdity. No, not at all.
I'm awed at how the writer managed to write such a beautiful complex story, with lots of plots and characters, and managed to make sense and bring them all together. Also, with lots of twists and surprising things. It was very interesting and exciting.
I watched non stop. I never took a break from it or fast forwarded any scenes. It was not draggy at all, as very part in the story, no matter how small, was all relevant and made sense.
Also, there might not be the tragic genre written, but it has lots of tragic things that happened, like many people died and Wei Ying really had passed through lots of bad things and he mostly got blamed for everything. I really cried when he died, so sad.
Anyway, I loved everything about it.
I loved the story, the characters, the cast, the acting, the costumes, the martial and fighting scenes (they were really detailed and beautiful).
I loved the brotherhood and family relationships (I mostly loved the relationship between Jiang Cheng, Wei Ying and Senior Sister) and the relationship between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan (even though it was supposed to be BL, I could feel their love through their actions and their eyes. They were so cute together and perfect for each other even though they were opposites <3).
I also loved the music (I got obessed with the song that both main actors sang in a duet; Unrestained), the background and the set.
For the story, I loved the ghosts plot, the cultivation plot, the clans plot, the spirtual energy and golden core plot, the tragic things on the Wen clan, the Yin Metal being divided into 4 pieces and later on it was actually 5 pieces, the tiger seal, the ghost puppets, etc.
Everything in this drama was awesome, exciting, beautiful, interesting, etc. I really loved it! <3
Moreover, I really loved how they started in episode 1, in the present and then switched back to the past to tell us what happened.
To be honest, I was kind of confused at first, but you get immersed in the story immediately so you just wait to know what happened in the past first.
I was really excited and patiently waited to see what happened in the past, before finally in episode 33, we go back to 16 years later and when Wei Ying was brought back to life and we see what happened. And I really kept in mind what happened in the first episde.
Also, from the first episode, I kind of assumed that Senior Sister and her husband would die, since Jiang Cheng was taking care of his sister's son as what we see in the first episode. Wei Ying then also realised who the boy was and he scolded himself for mentioning his mother and how he was not raised well. However, I never expected on how Senior Sister and her sister would die, it was shocking.
For the main villain, I guessed that it was Meng Yao, as he looked suspicious and when he told Lan Xi Chen (Brillance Lord) that he will spare the innocent people of the Wen clan and he did not. As when the doors were closed, lots of blood poured out. That's when I started to say that it is him, who did everything.
What was shocking and would have never guessed in a million years was about Nie Huai Sang. He acted like he did not know anything and played like he was innocent and stupid and afraid of everything, but a huge twist in the end of the drama.
I was also glad that Ah Yuan lived. I was really sad when the sister clan of the Wen clan, all died. Wei Ying took a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot to save them, and in the end they still died and in the end they took the blame for nothing. It was really sad.
That period in the past, when Wei Ying gave his spirtual energy to Jiang Cheng and then the evil people of the Wen clan threw him in the burial mounts. And Wei Ying has no choice but to embrace evil was really sad. He was in it for 3 months!
Then when he came back and everyone around him kept asking him why he isn't using his sword and blaming him for being arrogant and losing the good path. I'm like angry and say 'He can't!!' He does not have his spirtual energy anymore so he can't use it!! Uhh!!
So Wei Ying had no choice but to use the evil flute and that period he really changed and wasn't the Wei Ying we knew. I was relieved when 16 years later, when he revived, he went back to his old self.
This drama gave me lots of emotions.
It took me a year to watch it and I'm glad I finally did. I will definitely miss it. And definitely worth a watch! If you don't know if to watch it or not, I will tell you to watch it now!
I loved the story. I loved the mix of emotions that it gives us, like where we see comedy, serious moments, sad moments, creepy moments, etc. I really also loved the netherworld plot, it was really interesting to see how people can intrepret or imagine the afterlife to be.
Also, the ghost maid were really hilarious.
Lim Tian Ching got what he deserve. Also, I did not expect that Lim Tian Bai's finacee killed Lim Tian Ching and poisned Pan Li Lan. I did not guess at all, but anyway we had no hints at all, they kind of threw a bomb at us.
For a moment, I thought Pan Li Lan would marry Lim Tian Bai and I was like screaming internally 'Nooo!!!' I want her to end up with Er Lang. Then, we see her not happy about the whole idea of marriage and being confined to a house and managed it. As after all her dream was to travel the world.
Then, we see Pan Li Lan leave to travel the world and summon Er Lang, where she decided to help him solve cases.
The ending is left open like we assume that they love each other and end up together.
However, it's not totally a happy ending as Er Lang not only sacrificed his 500 years and his promotion, but I think he exchanged his life for her. I think that he would probably die instead of her since we saw the black veins on him. Uhh! I'm so curious!
If they make season 2, I would definitely watch it. It would be nice seeing them together and do missions together. Also, we get to see what Er Lang really exchanged to save Pan Li Lan's life.
Honestly, the story is not that great or special, but it's not that bad. With all the negative comments, I expected the worst. It's not bad as the drama 'What the Duck' (for me this is the worst thai BL dramas amongs the ones I watched).
Moreover, I like the main leads, they are cute together ^_^ Of course, their chemistry and romance is not awesome as the leads of the dramas of Tharntype, Theory of Love or Why R U.
Also, don't forget the rating in this drama is 13+. In 13+ dramas, they do not show lots of kiss scenes or bed scenes. In the dramas of of 'Tharntype', 'Theory of Love' and 'Why R U', the ratings are much higher, like 18+, so we get to see more intimacy between the leads.
Moreover, I do get why people are dissapointed as there is a lack of intimacy between the actors. Yeah, a pat on the head is not enough, but I do see it as a sign that you are close to someone. You don't usually let someone pat your head, if you don't know a person or you are not close to him/her.
I think that there is no need for intimacy to show your love to someone. Like in the dramas 'He's Coming to Me' and 'Great Men Academy' there were barely any kiss scenes or few ones, but their chemistry and acting was awesome. Their acting was so good that you could see love in their expressions and how they acted. But, their ratings were 13+ or 15+, that's why we did not see that much intimacy.
I also understand why people say that there is no difference between the leads when they were fake dating and now they are dating. This is because, (in my opinon and I'm no expert in acting at all and no expert in love) I think the actor playing Sarawat, lacked expressions in his eyes and face.
I get that he is an introvert, as an introvert myself, my friends and family do tell me that I lack expressions. But he mostly kept the same expressions, like when he is angry, jealous, in love and when he was flirting with Tine. I noticed that Sarawat was flirting with Tine, thanks to the written script, as his face showed no signs of flirting.
Ok, not to lie, his face did change when he laughed. However, throughout the whole drama his expressions were mostly the same. So in my opinion, that's why, we see no difference between the leads when they were fake dating and now that they are dating.
However, the actor playing Tine, if you notice, he had more expressions in his eyes, and I could see more love in his eyes and face. Also, his acting was better than the actor playing Sarawat.
Note that this is my opinion, and I'm not against the actor playing Sarawat, I don't want to offend anyone. Maybe, he will improve in the future and I will look forward to that, if I happen to watch any of his future dramas.
I believe that there needs to be good acting from both sides of actors, for the viewers to feel love between the actors. As if one of them lacks it, the whole chemistry will turn out not that good or even bad. However, as I said, these two were not bad, and I find them cute together.
I'll continue watching......
EDIT: Finished! (21/06/2020)
I really hate the first love or ex-girlfriend plot, where she/he comes and the main couple breaks up, uhh! They should have focused more on them.
Anyway, they get back together and happy ending.
For the other 2 couples, they are cute as well, but they really few scenes.
On, the whole it wasn't that bad, but nothing special either.
It's up to you, where you want to watch it or not. It's short so you'll watch it quickly and you can watch it if you have no idea what to watch.
Or you can watch it, if you are curious if it is bad as most people said. I kind of decided to watch it because of that + I did not know what to watch + I wanted to watch a BL drama.
Loved it! :D I did not expect to love it this much. Also, I mostly decided to watch it because the plot where a main character enters into a story, a drama, a comic, a webtoon, a game, a novel, etc (after watching Dramaworld and W) became one of my favorite plots ^_^
However, I thought it would be nothing special, even if it had one of my favourite plots and it's also short, so I decided to watch it and Im glad I did :D
I loved how they managed to crack me up from the beginning till the end and leave it in a light manner throughout the whole drama.
Yes, ok there were serious moments, sad ones and there were parts I cried, but they always managed to twist it back to a light mood.
Moreover, I really loved all the cast and characters and their acting was great. I really loved the chemistry of the main leads, they were so cute and adorable together <3
I also loved the moments when Chen Qian Qian, aka the writer of the story / script of a drama, mentioned things that are in the modern world, and people would look at her like she is crazy and 'what is she saying?' look. It was hilarious each time! xD
I loved it when she mentioned 'no wi-fi and no phone' as that would be my exact feeling if I end up in the historical world. It took her some time to say it but shen eventually did.
Btw, I remembered it because when the screen writer ended up in her own story, I was like 'Uhh! No internet. I would go nuts without it, since I'm an addict to the internet.' Ok, that was my thought lol.
Anyway, I knew it that the screen writer would eventually go back to the modern world and definitely do the happy ending for the main leads that we were all waiting for.
However, I was wondering how Chen Qian Qian, aka the screen writer would have a happy ending with Han Shuo, who is a character of her story.
Then, after she goes back to the modern world, the actor who was going to act as Han Shuo, got injured in a car accident and injured his lungs.
Then I was like, 'Wait!' So the actor went into Chen Qian Qian, aka the screen writer's story as well, however while she was aware of her real identity, Han Shuo, aka the actor, was not aware and played along the story (sort of anyway, as her original story changed 360 degrees multiple times).
The happy ending in the modern world was kind of rushed, but I loved how they made it and the leads got together :D
Btw, I also loved the plot where they are two cities, one ruled by men and another one ruled by women. Here, you can see the two extremes. We mostly saw the city where it is ruled by women. Being a woman myself, I really enjoyed it, as we see women who are able to be leader, women can be soldiers, be independent, etc.
However, seeing men instead treated as slaves, taken for granted, for entertainment purpose, seen as an object, cannot learn, cannot be independent, etc, like after all women were seen in the past and even in some countries today, was still painful.
That means, that extremes are never healthy but instead it is sad and painful. Therefore, if in the world today, if we can learn from history or from our ancestors and learn to be more open-minded, the world would be a better place.
I'm not only referring to the equality of men and women, but also being more open-minded and accept other people from different races, cultures, religion, thoughts, ideas, sexual orentation, remove stereotypes of certain jobs, etc. Of course, it's not easy to change, even I am at times reluctant for change, however hopefully and slowly, we'll get there.
I really loved this message from this drama or at least that is the message I got.
Anyway, my conclusion is that this drama has a great story, cast, characters, aweomse acting, great chemistry between main leads and awesome messages.
Also, the songs were nothing special, but they do fit the drama. Moreover, great sets and costumes.
Definitely worth a watch! :D
Also, it does have many cliches moments, but they fit in so well, and make sense in this drama, that I loved them all.
For the story, it has idiotic and weird moments, but if you watch it for fun, to pass time and do not think that deeply about it, it is hilarious and makes you keep watching.
However, on the serious side, it is messed up.
Like the president is consistently stalking Sato, forcing her to do things his way, gives her no choice at all, like calls her 100+ times, takes her photos without permission, he even followed her on her world wide trip, etc. We call that a physco.
Also, Sato is quite violent towards him. Like if a man hits or kicks a woman, it is considered an abuse. But if a woman hits or kicks a man, it's not considered as abuse, but instead as hilarious?
This mentally is quite stupid. And no one, of either gender should be violent towards other people.
Anyway, their relationship is really toxic and both are abusive towards each other.
Also, even all the characters are weird.
So, in my opinion, don't take this drama seriously and watch it to pass time.
Anyway, what I mostly loved in this whole drama, were the opening and closing songs (it's the first time I loved the opening and closing songs of a drama) <3 and the dogs were so cute and adorable <3
I mostly loved the ending where the Hyena team won against Mr Song ;D He got what he deserved.
The story kind of pointed put that Mr Song was the main villain, or more the puppeteer who pulled the strings of all the puppets he controlled.
In the middle of the drama, you think he is kind, but he did look kind of suspicious, at least to me.
Later on, we do find out that he does everything with plan, precision and ambition. And if you're not with him, you're against him and he does everything to bring you down or get you out of the way. Like he even got to the point of murder, he killed the art dealer mistress and even tried to kill Jung Geum Ja. It would be no surprise if his wife being in coma has something to do with him as well. I don't think they mentioned her again.
I really loved Jung Geum Ja. She is not perfect and has her flaws, but she's so awesome, sassy, not afraid to speak, is kind in her own way, does things for a reason, intelligent, sharp, does everything to find the truth, a leader, knows how to bring out other people's potential, etc. I loved her a lot and even loved all the team she brought together.
If they do season 2, I would definitely watch it and hopefully, they would bring all the Hyena team ;D
Mentioning the drama's name that is Hyena. It definitely fits Jung Geum Ja perfectly. Someone mentioned that she is a tigress.
Ok, she is as well, but a Hyena fits her more. I think a tigress is more kind of delicate, is more choosy, soft, etc. Jung Geum Ja does everything even to the point of getting dirty and chews everything and so I think she is more like a Hyena.
I really enjoyed it :D It was a bit weird, but it was hilarious and interesting :D It was really hilarious when they sang out a poem in public xD Also, those hats really stood out and made it more hilarious xD
I also liked the past and present mix. At first I thought that Hikaru Genji came from the past, but he actually came from a historical novel. That was interesting :)
It's a shame that the romance was not more developed, but at least the main characters ended up together :)
Also, there are some questions left in the air. Like why did Hikaru Genji and Chujo go in the present world in the first place? And his rival or friend Chujo could go after him? Also, why did Hikaru Genji could go to another place when he was in danger and could go when he thought about that place?
If you really think about this drama in depth, the story has many things left in the air.
However, this drama can be seen as something you want to watch quickly, in a light mood and by enjoying it, as it is. So, since I'm not caring much about the details, I can say I enjoyed this drama and worth watching ^_^
I liked it :) The story was consistent and followed a logical order. Also, I liked all the investigation parts. I also liked the cast, characters, acting, martial art scenes and chemistry between main leads.
I did like it, but I felt that there was something missing, I don't know what though. I cannot complain as for once the story made sense, was consistent and a good story. However, I did pause it multiple times and watched something else in between.
Also, I did watch all full episodes until episode 44. At this point, I got annoyed and impatient and decided to fast forward it to the end.
For the story, there were predictable parts like the plot about Jin Xia's lost family. I knew that she was the lost girl from Aunt Lin's family long ago and the story took quite a long time to get to it.
Also, for the villain. For all that he did, death was too easy for him. If they wanted him dead, they should have killed him long ago.
Yeah, ok they wanted to punish him according to the law, smear his name and ruin his family, but it felt kind of empty just killing him like that.
I wanted to see him get tortured, especially what he did to Jin Xia when he nailed cylinderical objects on her arms and she bled slowly. That was really cruel!
For the King, I really did not like him from the beginning. He thinks that he's a god or something. Just because Lu Yi told him about Jin Xia's family and that her family were not traitors, and the King was wrong, he gave him the death sentence.
Anyway, thanks for Jin Xia's persistence she managed to avoid him from getting killed. Then, some time passed and the King got him out. A happy ending :) We assume that they get married and have lots of kids :D
I really loved the chemistry between the leads. Yeah, they had few kiss scenes, but I did not mind it. Their interactions and acting was really good. I really loved how they worked together well, helped each other, saved each other, that they were equal, relied on each other, etc.
I also loved how they made women be independent, can fight on their own, they do need saving but they save others as well, know how to fight, etc.
The story is a bit long, but if you have patience and do not give up on it, it's worth a watch. I think yeah, you may get bored at times, especially political moments, or you just get bored. However, you just need to take a break from it like I did and then continue it. I really recommend to watch it all.
When do they find out the baby is still alive? Was Bailu in on it?
In ep 31, we still see Tian Jing Zhi sad about her baby's death. However, in the same episode, in the next scene we see Bailu and Jiang Yi Heng discussing about the baby which means the baby is still alive.
Bailu was at first with them because of the organisation and then lots of stuff happened in the following episodes. Then, Qiu Yue Bai forced Bailu to hide it since Jiang Yi Heng convinced him to do it for the organisation.
Then, at one point Bailu did regret it and saw things getting out of hand and then told Xue Ling Qiao.
I loved the acting and chemistry between Fighter and Tutor + Saifah and Zon, they were all so cute and adorable together <3 Also, great kiss scenes <3
However, the story was all over the place. Like how is this a fantasy story in the first place?
Also, the parts where Zon thought that he fell into a BL novel, I don't know what happened to it, and they probably put it aside.
I was confused because in the beginning, we saw many BL couples of past dramas like the main couple of Make it Right and also the main couple of TharnType. I was happy with their guest roles, btw <3
Anyway, Zon's sister, Zol said that they were her imagination and I thought that Zon really fell or the four of them all fell into a BL novel. But as the story went on, they did not fall into a BL novel. That part was confusing.
Also, I was so happy with the relationship of Fighter and Tutor (at least until ep 11).
They were so cute, happy, they discussed issues, dissuced cornerns about their relationship, asked each other multiple times before they kissed and make love, etc.
HOWEVER!!! They had to go and ruin everything in episode 12, where they fell into the typical lakorns scenes where Fighter forced himself on Tutor.
Ok, Tutor should have told Fighter that his dad went to talk to him and try to explain well to avoid Fighter fighting with his dad. Uhh!! I hated episode 12 and I'm like bye.
Also, it's a shame that because of the Covid-19, there were less scenes of Zon and Saifah.
I'm realizing that's probably why they put a forcing scene between Fighter and Tutor, to fill in the parts were Zon and Saifah were supposed to appear in episode 12, as they only appeared few moments in the beginning of episode 12. Uhh!
Moreover, I found episode 12 and 13 to be quite the same, at least in the setting, where they filmed both episodes on beaches.
For Zon and Saifah, no, but we see Fighter and Tutor on a beach again.
Ok, it's probably again because of the Covid-19. As if they planned to filmed indoors, they switched it outdoors to avoid the spread of the virus and also avoid people.
Also, they put many couples. Ok, we have the 2 main couples, but they were many others couples or potential couples, where we barely see on them at the end or we still do not know what happened to them.
Conclusion:
For the romance parts, I give this 10/10.
But for the story overall, I give this 6/10. This story was quite all over the place and confusing.

Finished it after 6 days and one word: Beautiful.
I loved it so much! <3 I cried a lot, I laughed, I was sad, I was angry, etc. It gave so much emotions.

currently watching.....and on ep 11 (21/06/2020)
Honestly, the story is not that great or special, but it's not that bad. With all the negative comments, I expected the worst. It's not bad as the drama 'What the Duck' (for me this is the worst thai BL dramas amongs the ones I watched).

But he mostly kept the same expressions, like when he is angry, jealous, in love and when he was flirting with Tine. I noticed that Sarawat was flirting with Tine, thanks to the written script, as his face showed no signs of flirting.
Ok, not to lie, his face did change when he laughed. However, throughout the whole drama his expressions were mostly the same. So in my opinion, that's why, we see no difference between the leads when they were fake dating and now that they are dating.
However, the actor playing Tine, if you notice, he had more expressions in his eyes, and I could see more love in his eyes and face. Also, his acting was better than the actor playing Sarawat.
Note that this is my opinion, and I'm not against the actor playing Sarawat, I don't want to offend anyone. Maybe, he will improve in the future and I will look forward to that, if I happen to watch any of his future dramas.
I believe that there needs to be good acting from both sides of actors, for the viewers to feel love between the actors. As if one of them lacks it, the whole chemistry will turn out not that good or even bad. However, as I said, these two were not bad, and I find them cute together.
I'll continue watching......
EDIT: Finished! (21/06/2020)
I really hate the first love or ex-girlfriend plot, where she/he comes and the main couple breaks up, uhh! They should have focused more on them.
Anyway, they get back together and happy ending.
For the other 2 couples, they are cute as well, but they really few scenes.
On, the whole it wasn't that bad, but nothing special either.
It's up to you, where you want to watch it or not. It's short so you'll watch it quickly and you can watch it if you have no idea what to watch.
Or you can watch it, if you are curious if it is bad as most people said. I kind of decided to watch it because of that + I did not know what to watch + I wanted to watch a BL drama.
The end :)
Loved it! :D I did not expect to love it this much. Also, I mostly decided to watch it because the plot where a main character enters into a story, a drama, a comic, a webtoon, a game, a novel, etc (after watching Dramaworld and W) became one of my favorite plots ^_^
However, I thought it would be nothing special, even if it had one of my favourite plots and it's also short, so I decided to watch it and Im glad I did :D
I loved how they managed to crack me up from the beginning till the end and leave it in a light manner throughout the whole drama.
Yes, ok there were serious moments, sad ones and there were parts I cried, but they always managed to twist it back to a light mood.
Moreover, I really loved all the cast and characters and their acting was great. I really loved the chemistry of the main leads, they were so cute and adorable together <3
I also loved the moments when Chen Qian Qian, aka the writer of the story / script of a drama, mentioned things that are in the modern world, and people would look at her like she is crazy and 'what is she saying?' look. It was hilarious each time! xD
I loved it when she mentioned 'no wi-fi and no phone' as that would be my exact feeling if I end up in the historical world. It took her some time to say it but shen eventually did.
Btw, I remembered it because when the screen writer ended up in her own story, I was like 'Uhh! No internet. I would go nuts without it, since I'm an addict to the internet.' Ok, that was my thought lol.
Anyway, I knew it that the screen writer would eventually go back to the modern world and definitely do the happy ending for the main leads that we were all waiting for.
However, I was wondering how Chen Qian Qian, aka the screen writer would have a happy ending with Han Shuo, who is a character of her story.
Then, after she goes back to the modern world, the actor who was going to act as Han Shuo, got injured in a car accident and injured his lungs.
Then I was like, 'Wait!' So the actor went into Chen Qian Qian, aka the screen writer's story as well, however while she was aware of her real identity, Han Shuo, aka the actor, was not aware and played along the story (sort of anyway, as her original story changed 360 degrees multiple times).
The happy ending in the modern world was kind of rushed, but I loved how they made it and the leads got together :D
Btw, I also loved the plot where they are two cities, one ruled by men and another one ruled by women. Here, you can see the two extremes. We mostly saw the city where it is ruled by women. Being a woman myself, I really enjoyed it, as we see women who are able to be leader, women can be soldiers, be independent, etc.
However, seeing men instead treated as slaves, taken for granted, for entertainment purpose, seen as an object, cannot learn, cannot be independent, etc, like after all women were seen in the past and even in some countries today, was still painful.
That means, that extremes are never healthy but instead it is sad and painful. Therefore, if in the world today, if we can learn from history or from our ancestors and learn to be more open-minded, the world would be a better place.
I'm not only referring to the equality of men and women, but also being more open-minded and accept other people from different races, cultures, religion, thoughts, ideas, sexual orentation, remove stereotypes of certain jobs, etc. Of course, it's not easy to change, even I am at times reluctant for change, however hopefully and slowly, we'll get there.
I really loved this message from this drama or at least that is the message I got.
Anyway, my conclusion is that this drama has a great story, cast, characters, aweomse acting, great chemistry between main leads and awesome messages.
Also, the songs were nothing special, but they do fit the drama. Moreover, great sets and costumes.
Definitely worth a watch! :D
Also, it does have many cliches moments, but they fit in so well, and make sense in this drama, that I loved them all.
The end ^_^
For the story, it has idiotic and weird moments, but if you watch it for fun, to pass time and do not think that deeply about it, it is hilarious and makes you keep watching.
However, on the serious side, it is messed up.
Like the president is consistently stalking Sato, forcing her to do things his way, gives her no choice at all, like calls her 100+ times, takes her photos without permission, he even followed her on her world wide trip, etc. We call that a physco.
Also, Sato is quite violent towards him. Like if a man hits or kicks a woman, it is considered an abuse. But if a woman hits or kicks a man, it's not considered as abuse, but instead as hilarious?
This mentally is quite stupid. And no one, of either gender should be violent towards other people.
Anyway, their relationship is really toxic and both are abusive towards each other.
Also, even all the characters are weird.
So, in my opinion, don't take this drama seriously and watch it to pass time.
Anyway, what I mostly loved in this whole drama, were the opening and closing songs (it's the first time I loved the opening and closing songs of a drama) <3 and the dogs were so cute and adorable <3
Loved it! :D I totally did not expect to like it that much ^_^ I watched it with little expectation and randomly decided to watch it.
It has a mix of everything; I laughed, cried at some moments, was sad, scared, angry, etc.
The story mostly focuses on the cases, which were awesome, interesting and always end up with a twist.
The romance between the main leads plays a big part, however it's not the main focus. Mentioning them, their chemistry was awesome :D
I also loved all the cast, characters, acting, production, the filming and the music :D
===================================================================
I mostly loved the ending where the Hyena team won against Mr Song ;D He got what he deserved.
The story kind of pointed put that Mr Song was the main villain, or more the puppeteer who pulled the strings of all the puppets he controlled.
In the middle of the drama, you think he is kind, but he did look kind of suspicious, at least to me.
Later on, we do find out that he does everything with plan, precision and ambition. And if you're not with him, you're against him and he does everything to bring you down or get you out of the way. Like he even got to the point of murder, he killed the art dealer mistress and even tried to kill Jung Geum Ja. It would be no surprise if his wife being in coma has something to do with him as well. I don't think they mentioned her again.
I really loved Jung Geum Ja. She is not perfect and has her flaws, but she's so awesome, sassy, not afraid to speak, is kind in her own way, does things for a reason, intelligent, sharp, does everything to find the truth, a leader, knows how to bring out other people's potential, etc. I loved her a lot and even loved all the team she brought together.
If they do season 2, I would definitely watch it and hopefully, they would bring all the Hyena team ;D
===================================================================
Mentioning the drama's name that is Hyena. It definitely fits Jung Geum Ja perfectly. Someone mentioned that she is a tigress.
Ok, she is as well, but a Hyena fits her more. I think a tigress is more kind of delicate, is more choosy, soft, etc. Jung Geum Ja does everything even to the point of getting dirty and chews everything and so I think she is more like a Hyena.
Anyway, worth a watch :D
I also liked the past and present mix. At first I thought that Hikaru Genji came from the past, but he actually came from a historical novel. That was interesting :)
It's a shame that the romance was not more developed, but at least the main characters ended up together :)
Also, there are some questions left in the air. Like why did Hikaru Genji and Chujo go in the present world in the first place? And his rival or friend Chujo could go after him? Also, why did Hikaru Genji could go to another place when he was in danger and could go when he thought about that place?
If you really think about this drama in depth, the story has many things left in the air.
However, this drama can be seen as something you want to watch quickly, in a light mood and by enjoying it, as it is. So, since I'm not caring much about the details, I can say I enjoyed this drama and worth watching ^_^
I liked it :) The story was consistent and followed a logical order. Also, I liked all the investigation parts. I also liked the cast, characters, acting, martial art scenes and chemistry between main leads.
I did like it, but I felt that there was something missing, I don't know what though. I cannot complain as for once the story made sense, was consistent and a good story. However, I did pause it multiple times and watched something else in between.
Also, I did watch all full episodes until episode 44. At this point, I got annoyed and impatient and decided to fast forward it to the end.
For the story, there were predictable parts like the plot about Jin Xia's lost family. I knew that she was the lost girl from Aunt Lin's family long ago and the story took quite a long time to get to it.
Also, for the villain. For all that he did, death was too easy for him. If they wanted him dead, they should have killed him long ago.
Yeah, ok they wanted to punish him according to the law, smear his name and ruin his family, but it felt kind of empty just killing him like that.
I wanted to see him get tortured, especially what he did to Jin Xia when he nailed cylinderical objects on her arms and she bled slowly. That was really cruel!
For the King, I really did not like him from the beginning. He thinks that he's a god or something. Just because Lu Yi told him about Jin Xia's family and that her family were not traitors, and the King was wrong, he gave him the death sentence.
Anyway, thanks for Jin Xia's persistence she managed to avoid him from getting killed. Then, some time passed and the King got him out. A happy ending :) We assume that they get married and have lots of kids :D
I really loved the chemistry between the leads. Yeah, they had few kiss scenes, but I did not mind it. Their interactions and acting was really good. I really loved how they worked together well, helped each other, saved each other, that they were equal, relied on each other, etc.
I also loved how they made women be independent, can fight on their own, they do need saving but they save others as well, know how to fight, etc.
The story is a bit long, but if you have patience and do not give up on it, it's worth a watch. I think yeah, you may get bored at times, especially political moments, or you just get bored. However, you just need to take a break from it like I did and then continue it. I really recommend to watch it all.
The end :)
Bailu was at first with them because of the organisation and then lots of stuff happened in the following episodes. Then, Qiu Yue Bai forced Bailu to hide it since Jiang Yi Heng convinced him to do it for the organisation.
Then, at one point Bailu did regret it and saw things getting out of hand and then told Xue Ling Qiao.
However, the story was all over the place. Like how is this a fantasy story in the first place?
Also, the parts where Zon thought that he fell into a BL novel, I don't know what happened to it, and they probably put it aside.
I was confused because in the beginning, we saw many BL couples of past dramas like the main couple of Make it Right and also the main couple of TharnType. I was happy with their guest roles, btw <3
Anyway, Zon's sister, Zol said that they were her imagination and I thought that Zon really fell or the four of them all fell into a BL novel. But as the story went on, they did not fall into a BL novel. That part was confusing.
Also, I was so happy with the relationship of Fighter and Tutor (at least until ep 11).
They were so cute, happy, they discussed issues, dissuced cornerns about their relationship, asked each other multiple times before they kissed and make love, etc.
HOWEVER!!! They had to go and ruin everything in episode 12, where they fell into the typical lakorns scenes where Fighter forced himself on Tutor.
Ok, Tutor should have told Fighter that his dad went to talk to him and try to explain well to avoid Fighter fighting with his dad. Uhh!! I hated episode 12 and I'm like bye.
Also, it's a shame that because of the Covid-19, there were less scenes of Zon and Saifah.
I'm realizing that's probably why they put a forcing scene between Fighter and Tutor, to fill in the parts were Zon and Saifah were supposed to appear in episode 12, as they only appeared few moments in the beginning of episode 12. Uhh!
Moreover, I found episode 12 and 13 to be quite the same, at least in the setting, where they filmed both episodes on beaches.
For Zon and Saifah, no, but we see Fighter and Tutor on a beach again.
Ok, it's probably again because of the Covid-19. As if they planned to filmed indoors, they switched it outdoors to avoid the spread of the virus and also avoid people.
Also, they put many couples. Ok, we have the 2 main couples, but they were many others couples or potential couples, where we barely see on them at the end or we still do not know what happened to them.
Conclusion:
For the romance parts, I give this 10/10.
But for the story overall, I give this 6/10. This story was quite all over the place and confusing.
Anyway, the end.
