Hehe, Can't wait for this for so many reason. - I already watch Bai Yu and Zhou Yu Tong's dramas before, and they're so good at acting. - I also fan of The Truth gang. 😅 - This is the first drama with 50 eps after I dive into C-ent since 2024 because of the rule that a drama can't exceed 40 eps in the past. - The Production seem expensive through those promotional videos.
Forgive me if my comment here is not relevant or offend any of you. Let's enjoy and hope the best for this drama.
Watched up to Ep 9. I still say this is really a good remake. They manage to capture the dynamic and chemistry between Jiang Qi and Yu An. Somehow, they miserable life truly resonance with me. The pace is also good. Not fast or rushed but also not slow either. The OST able to maxime every scene/moment to convey its meaning to me. What a wonderful show.
Please cdrama god! Don't make me lose interest in this, I already hooked in the first 20 mins of Ep1! Though the story going back to the past after it and got me bored, I still force myself and see the Ep5 trailer, which they back to recent times and decide not to drop it.
A drama that supposed to be 40-Eps being butchered into 24 Eps, resulting this one being a subpar quality product of entertainment. Many think the main plot is enough, but forgot how important simple or trivial plots were for the build-up of the main plot. Story-wise is good, but to many scene, where it pop out of nowhere when we can felt it supposed to be more well explored. Truly unfortunate.
The last 4 episodes truly seal the deal that make me think, this is the best drama of 2025 so far in term of story-wise.
It really has the best ending not in just the context of good/happy ending. But at the level of satisfictory. It didn't feel rushed or miss something in between. Just in perfect balance.
This also the first drama I experience where it reached Heat Index peak in the end of the broadcast time. Usually, many drama only reached their peak Heat Index in the middle, then fall short toward the end. But this is didn't happen with ADWAD.
now I recall, where did the “method of forging weapon” plot go? it just disappeared. Is this a plot device?…
The method is unattainable even in the OG script. It only serve as the purpose so NH will trick SYM to fall in love with him as a bargain with CGH to get that. However in the current script, CGH already said its impossible to recreate the blade with the method because he thought the archive has been burned by NH.
But later, we know NH still has the archive, but the method that written by CGH's father actually is not real. That chemical equation actually just romantic poetic? if I'm not mistaken by the writer. So, the method actually is not a real deal in the script, which can be used to really made the intended weapons.
But this is just my thought, I can be wrong though.

I like it.

That way, he has free time to promote the drama. Well, just speculation.
I think I need to resubscribe iQiyi after my period end since watching ADWAD.
I hope this is suit my expectation!

Edit: I tried to upload the picture of them reaching the 25k heat index, but MDL seems not working here. 😭
