He was turned into a puppet but his soul was trapped there by Cheng Huang so his consciousness remains in that puppet. When Cheng Huang passed away, Zhu Yan took the remnants of that soul and used a spell to give him the ability to materialize whenever his sister needed him. He told Wen Xiao and his sister that he is grateful for Zhu Yan because it took away at least a thousand years of Zhu Yan's lifespan when he used that spell.

What I love most about this drama are the dialogue-heavy scenes that boast some of the most moving dialogues I've seen in a C-drama to date. The "you have always been my path and my destination" line from the earlier episodes really got to me even though I'm not really into romance. Also, there are plenty of life lessons that can be gleaned as the team takes on different cases and meets interesting side characters. Some of these characters are only featured in a few episodes yet they stay with you. While I agree that the main cast of characters are not as interesting as the side characters as of yet, I expect them to become more fleshed out as the series progresses. I also like the fact that it's not romance-centric and is actually character-driven. It doesn't rely on an elaborate plot to be engaging. I just find it a little funny that the reasons why I'm loving this drama so far are the same reasons why some do not enjoy it. I hope they don't drop the ball on this one, though. I don't really care whether it ends happily or not as long as they can justify it.

Same here. Probably why this appealed to me. I particularly like the dialogues, quotable quotes, and life lessons that can be gleaned from this drama. Ironically, it's precisely because of this that some people find it boring. lol If you're into bromance, you might find this drama interesting. Neo often has great chemistry with his male co-stars and it's also evident in this.

In my opinion, no. At least not yet. There's been some flirting and push and pull between the main CP, but nothing obvious yet. But others may say otherwise. It's just to me, this is focusing more on the relationships between the demon-hunting team members and their character developments, and the stories of the side characters. It's not a plot-driven drama but rather character-driven so some people might find the plot progression slow.

The insert songs are cool, but the musical score is even better! Thank you!

I'm biased. I can't see Neo with anyone other than Zhou Ye and vice versa now. lol I am still waiting for their reunion project. But I don't mind him being paired with others. Chen Duling is alright. I never had issues with her because I didn't see her in Till the end of the Moon where most people saw her as a villain and has since associated her with villainous roles. I first saw her in Mysterious Lotus Casebook and even though I didn't care for her character there, I never had problems with her.

If this drama is not for you, it's not for you. You can always drop it and find another drama to watch. No need to yuck other people's yum.

On this site. Scan the photos uploaded on this page, you'll find them.

To whoever posted the pictures of Ai Mi and Zuo Ye wearing high school uniforms, thank you! Now I'm going to hopelessly dream and wait for a modern idol drama with them playing high school sweethearts. lol

Ooohhh... you're right! American Gods tells the story of the old gods from ancient myths, and this drama is based on Chinese mythology.

They should be! lol

I can wait two more years. lol

My god, Zuo Ye and Ai Mi are probably the best looking couple I've seen in C-drama to date! I haven't watched My Journey To You so I didn't know they were also paired there. I just knew Ai Mi from The Blood of Youth and Zuo Ye from Back From The Brink. I hope they get their own drama soon.

Here's to hoping they release Moonlight Mystique and Under the Skin season 2 soon and that they do well. And they better announce the season 2 for Oh No Here Comes Trouble. That drama was a sleeper hit.

Eh, Douban's ratings are scored by fans, not critics. Some deliberately review-bomb dramas. But even so, different strokes for different folks. I found many highly rated dramas in Douban to be not that good. I trust my own judgment.

I can't tell you either because I also stopped watching when Fangs of Fortune started and I just focused on that drama. lol I lost interest in this drama because I found something better. But I will finish this sooner or later for Xueyi.

I doubt the Japanese would admit that most of their culture originated from Chinese culture, though. Hahaha. But yes, it's possible that Demon Slayer was partly inspired by Chinese myths. And there's also the possibility that Chinese dramas are influenced by Japanese literature and animation because both countries are close neighbors and they engage in regular trade. Heck, C-dramas are popular in Japan too.

If I'm not mistaken, Demon Slayer is inspired by Japanese mythology just like most of their manga/anime. The demons in Demon Slayer are based on their yokai, which are supernatural beings in their folktales and Shinto religion. Now whether these beliefs are based on Chinese myths and religious beliefs, I do not know for sure. But this I know for a fact, there is a market for manga and anime in China and many Chinese people I know are fans of this genre, so it's not impossible for some Chinese writers to be partly inspired by Japanese literature and other works.

I'm going to answer that. Yes! He gets embarrassed and somewhat rattled whenever Zhu Yan teases him or does something for him.

They kinda remind me of Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing from Word of Honor. One is a straight-faced by-the-book tsundere and the other is a flamboyant mischievous flirt. In fact, this type of pairing is common among Priest's novels.
