4 ep done, I enjoyed it, the acting, pacing and scenes are very beautifully set up. It’s really fun to watch Chinese actors being able to narrate their dialogue with clarity. The only part I am feeling unbelievable about is how ML was set up during the exam. I understand he has an old mother and worried for her, however just hearing somebody said something, he became so reactive and jeopardized his own chance and got sentenced. Maybe this drama is showing how he was young, impulsive and immature at those times….wondered how he became so wise in first ep.
As someone who read the novel, i feel like a lot (not all) of what people are questioning and classifying as plot…
💯 agreed. Just feel like some viewers are not familiar with watching thrill and suspense drama, the format is that the back story will be revealed and one will understand more of why certain events or decisions are make. I guessed some people are just quick to judge.😅
I just watched Ep. 9 and I am speechless. why does nie jieluo always insist on working independently? she should…
You can see it in two reasons: one is that she knew she is blade, the only person among them that can kill the fiend, so she doesn’t want to burden her friends. Secondly, she does know in the group, none of them can fight as well as her, so to her it’s pointless to call them over, they may end up being kill. She has to go take course on teamwork😅.
Not a comparison but an observation. I am reading the novel, and I realised in the novel, the human hunters were even much weaker, they have no possiblity of winning the fiend. So this script has already made the human hunters a lot more coordinated despite their lack of real life fighting experience, the human hunters were at least able to defend themselves without NJL’s involvement.
Ah…true. Bad sub can really be a terrible killer for a good show 😓.

A very well written review. Educational and informative;). I learnt so much about the symbolic undertone, thanks for sharing this. Now I appreciate more of the creativity choices made for this drama, the costume, music and sets. And totally agreed that as for acting, Luo YunXi and Jeremy are the highlights of the show.
He is so spot on with the pain acting…although I was not really focusing on his expression😍😍😍😅
Yes he is. Totally agreed that he should get more recognition. I feel that he has not been very lucky with the script. And agreed! He is the embodiment of Yan Tuo, no one else;).
Exactly! The story is not very complicated, yet people get confused.🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Just feel that some may have watch without paying attention😓. I love the progression and the chemistry is on 🔥.
