I had the initial thought when they started eating, until he mentioned lamb. I was surprised that they had lambs.

I love the combination of Tan Song Yun and Hou Ming Hao as the leads. The MDL cast list needs to be expanded. There are roughly fifty actors in the cast.

Chopping up two cases into twenty minutes' segments weakens the impetus of each case. If IQIYI conjoins the short episodes into the standard 45 minutes length, the two cases should flow seamlessly. I finished twelve episodes. It's like start and stop, and switch over to the next episode.

He looks clueless, almost like Emperor Xiao Fei Jing in Vendetta of An.

They make an odd couple, but he is needy, and she seems to be the only person he has private conversations with. She acts suspicious. The scene where he discovered she was putting sleeping powder in his tea, or something to that effect, shows that she can poison him.

That gives me hope for Chang An. Thanks.

Cheng Yi and Lin Geng Xin should make a good team.

The drama finally ended. It should have concluded with a bang (the granary explosion), or a follow-up episode with Wei Jing restored to the throne, and Chang An at peace. It was not clear if Xiao Wu Yang died during the rescue. Wujin unfortunately had to live, to hand over the Tiemo assets to Chang An. He was annoying to watch, even if he had a pretty face.

How ironic that the Black Cloaked Man was Pan Feng Shan, but even he could not kill King Tiemo. The writer gets points for that plot twist. Xie Huai An had guts of steel to survive the stabbing, and walk to the granary, to blow it up with himself and King Tiemo. Xie Huai An got his flashbacks and song filler at the end.

BGM was obtrusive, diluting the dramatic effect of the scenes. The quality of the BGM was movie quality, just overdone. The songs were pretty. Final rating: 8

He was blown up in the granary. The flashbacks of him after the explosion were those of the screenwriter and director.

I have no sympathy for Old Man Long. He killed himself, after planning to kill his two loyal disciples. He even got song filler and flashback filler. Director wasted time on Long.

I was surprised that Wen Jing wasn't carrying his axe. He's good with the axe.

As soon as I wake up tomorrow morning, I have to start watching the four episodes. Merry Christmas!

Isn't the face make supposed to come from a corpse? They would need a skilled cosmetologist or mortician who could manufacture a face mask of a living person. Xie Huia An didn't reach that stage.

Something light and entertaining: Da Huang is credited as Xie Huaian's dog on the Vendetta of An Dramawiki page.

Da Huang, the dog (Foxy) from Mysterious Lotus Casebook, is credited on the Feud Dramawiki page.

The scene was dark, and if you blink, you might miss the final stab of Wu Yang's sword.

ROFL "Games of faces"! LOL

He's a snake.

He should have replied, "Take a number, (... insert name here)!

I started watching this drama last night. I like the ML, Ding Yu Xi/ Li Bing. The second ML is slow witted. I watched Zhou Qi in Vendetta of An, and wanted to see his acting skills. The other characters are hit or miss. The writing and acting are average. I am curious about White Cat's backstory.
