I just finished watching Seven Relics of Ill Omen. While it’s not exactly a masterpiece, it’s still a thoroughly enjoyable drama and definitely worth watching. What made it truly engaging for me was the Phoenix Quad — their bond, their friendship, their dynamics. I loved every single one of them; their chemistry carried the show and gave it so much heart.
That said, I have to admit… the chicken 🐔 totally stole my heart! 🤣
I’m always drawn to stories that mix mystery, adventure, and strong emotional connections between characters, and this drama delivered on all fronts. It had moments of suspense, humor, and touching loyalty — the kind of group dynamic that makes you wish you were part of their team. Overall, it was a pleasant and satisfying watch.
It has been a long journey, and now it has finally come to an end. I feel both sad and happy at the same time—sad because I don’t want to part with the characters and the story, and happy because I had the chance to watch such a beautifully crafted adaptation.
After the series was taken down following the release of just the first eight episodes, there was almost no hope that we’d ever get to see the rest. So it truly feels like a miracle that the show was able to return from the shadows into the light.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible, and to all those who kept waiting—it was definitely worth it. Despite the censorship, the show gave us so much more than we could have ever imagined from a censored BL adaptation. I know I’ll be rewatching it again and again.
Thinking about it, I also believe it might have been a blessing in disguise that Justice in the Dark never officially aired in China. Without the promotional events and the intense fan hype, the lead actors were protected and able to continue their careers in peace. As we’ve seen with other successful BL adaptations like The Untamed and Word of Honor, official promotion and large-scale fan events can sometimes have a negative impact on the actors involved.
I’m completely satisfied. It was worth every moment of the wait.
I won’t say goodbye to this show—just see you next time!❤️
First three episodes are okay. Probably a remake of Five Enough., I feel the FL was a bit miscast. Or maybe miss-dressed…
Strongly agree! The first scene, where she waked up with full make up and lip gloss crack me up. Like here we go again. Can't the production team make it more down to normal people life? I couldn't believe a single word, when she listed all the "hardship" she had to go through after her husband left her. Itjust didn't match up with how she looks and how she live (like in a big and cozy appartement).
How did they manage to produce such serious and at the same time hilarious drama? Pak Bo Gum is insane in this drama as well. I especially like the dynamic between Yun Dong Ju and Ko Man Sic.
I love how the show keeps getting #GAYER and #GAYER. Too bad some homophobes got a hold of it and won't leave…
There are so many like open hints that they have not just brotherly feelings for each other. I love the lines in Episode 20, where Pei Su said to the girl „in this lifetime you will never meet someone willing to give his life for you“ and then we see Zhao Wenzhou starring at him behind the mirror with that look in his eyes (because Pei Su literally shielded Zhao Weizhou with his body during the bomb explosion). And basically right after that, when Tao says „you can‘t trust even the one you love“ and again Zhao Wenzhou close up shot and then we have the trust issue between them.
There is a slight possibility from recent episodes. But now it's about if feelings will be reciprocated.
True. It started in episodes 23-24, when XZ said to her son to not call him Gege, how he ran to the hospital and then the jealousy towards the ex-husband. In the episodes 25-26 his feelings were more obvious. We still have about 8 episodes to go, so maybe Hu Manli will catch feelings too. At least for now, she didn't really wanted him to move out of the house. And honestly, they are there for each other and help each other in their most desperate and low moments in life. In my opinion they would make a really good power couple.
