I had paused watching at ep 15, waiting for Duan Aodeng to be back before picking up the drama again, and Cheng Lei has most definitely DELIVERED! Wow! His presence, speech, clothing, everything screams: Royal Excellence! The drama has finally picked up its pace past ep 30.
Binge-watched it, loved the chemistry between the FL&ML, the plot was okay except for the Demon Arc, which I think could’ve been executed in a better way. The Mortal Realm was great and their last-first meeting in the drama was perfectly set up.
The Douban one is harsh... Maybe also due to the readers who don't prefer how the drama has adapted the story…
There’s giving space for development and then there’s unnecessary filler scenes. I’m afraid the drama production team have yet to learn that less is more. I’d say only the first few episodes and the action scenes truly did justice to the novel.

Is that sarcasm? Either we have not read the same novel or watched the same drama. The pace of the novel is a thousand times ahead of the drama. There is way too much padding & fillers added in the drama.
There are too many filler scenes, I wish they’d move along with the plot. The novel is very much to the point, no unnecessary scenes, not sure why the script writers decided to add so much padding to the story. It’s no wonder that the Douban score is so low. Such a pity
She’s very pretty in the scene where she cries and eats her pear flowers though 🥺
So by your own words, the doctor also broke her character to suggest the FL she enter a drinking completion.
I agree, he’s been my 2025 best actor find
