EP1 first impression: so...she's basically John Wick? She didn't even remotely hesitate, zero evidence of blood left behind? She's definitely a pro at this.

5 episodes in *right after* watching season 1. Is it just me or are the colours much more...vibrant this time around? Somehow, the washed-out colours feel rather nostalgic now. Makes the show feel more serious.

Anyway, something feels off from season 1 but I don't quite know what it is. Maybe it's the pacing? I'll keep going for a while to see what happens ( I mean, it's like THE most popular cdrama in 2024 for good reason...? ) Season 1 is a 10/10, idk about season 2.



Edit: okay 6 episodes in, it starts getting good.

EP40: The moment when "that guy" shows up


"We have reached a level of 'cooked' that shouldn't even be possible"

I honestly think Si Li Li is a very, very well-written character, hell, she's more captivating than Lin Wan Er tbh. Her storyline is so good.

EP30: Ngl, bro has a point. An uber-powerful organization that can supervise everyone but cannot be supervised by anyone? That's literally a recipe for disaster. Bro is unironically right here.

"The key's gotta be in the palace bro, you looked through her house"


Fan Xian literally...didn't though, bro got distracted after looking for 30 seconds and then he got shut down by the king himself, the key could potentially LITERALLY be still in the house...

This is actually surprisingly wholesome and fluffy lol. I didn't expect to enjoy it but I really did, who knew that THIS would be the show to bring me back to Kdramas XD

EP16: "Who on earth are you, Chen Ping Ping is willing to use the Night's Cavalry for you? (elden ring reference)"


"Imma be real dawg, I don't even know this guy lol"

Teng Zi Jing be like: I'm a dead man now, can't show up in public


Also Teng Zi Jing: rides a horse in public


???

8 minutes into EP32: Well, it's been a good run, GG.

EP31: How is Fei...back, he literally imploded himself earlier

EP30: "it's okay, you, me, ZYC, we're all mortals"I get that you're trying to comfort her, but...ZYC literally isn't tho, at least not anymore

The guy should literally turn into dust imo, let alone survive lol

The dark horse of the series, the actual strongest character in the series..."the GOAT" /s

EP26: "I choose...myself"


Then who the hell is gonna use the sword after that guy fixes it lol?


"It will find a new master in the mortal realm"

Yeah but at the point, Bai Jiu's consciousness is probably gone forever mate.

EP25: Jesus Christ, the back and forth scenes of "being loved by everyone" and "being hated by everyone"...that's crazy.

EP25: "We can't just let him out bro, we haven't caught the killer"


Guys you literally have INSTANT TELEPORTATION in your pocket.

EP24: Bruh I thought he would pull-off a "are you Zhuo Yi Chen because you have the sword, or do you have the sword because you're Zhuo Yi Chen" kinda moment, y'know?

What I expected: Are you Thor, the God of Hammers?

What I got: Welp.


Edit: How did that one dude survive a full-power CHARGE from Zhu Yan...how's that even possible

Episode 10 is almost perfect, an absolute banger of an episode ngl

Also, the OST is amazing. I literally wouldn't have watched this show if I hadn't listened to ZYZ's theme song and read the lyrics.

EP4: Wen Xiao be like, "This is between me and him, let me finish this"

I'm like, bro, where did she get her confidence from? She thinks she can just "Nah I'd win"? Lmao.

EP31: honestly, the thousand-year worth of "evil" isn't even that bad...like it's lowkey the truth (I know it's temptation and all but she's right tbh)
