I will admit that I have not watched a xianxia yet, as fantasy has never really interested me, even in my native…
I am a big time fantasy lover so xianxia is one of my fave genre and they do require a more significant investment (you have to keep track of all the subplots, magical rules, etc.), but I find this one very newcomer friendly !
This sounds intriguing.....what's the spice factor on this one...mild, medium or hot?
I watched it a while ago so I don't remember that well, and now my rating for spice has been ruined by verticals lol. It's more a romantic comedy than anything if that can help.
But you still gave it an 8, so the story must be pretty good, since the spice turned out to be bland after all.…
That's exactly it for the story, and I won't say it turned bland exaclty, it's just that the sexual tension stays....tension, without the pay-off shown in the first scene. I think it's still worth it as a solid love story and light thriller.
I started this drama a year back and binge watched till 35 or so eps...but Hao Chen irritated me so so much that…
He is ! I think the pay-off of the main relationship is worth it but I'm biased, I was very invested in the FL's story (also it was one of my first Cdramas so everything still felt new and magical).
