At the beginning, the drama felt slow-paced, but in these recent episodes, everything feels rushed. Honestly, it should have had at least fifty episodes to properly cover the novel.
A true hit show is always something of a mystery -- the combination of various factors. Here you have a really…
I don’t really see much freshness in the script of this drama. But the director definitely has a poet’s eye—that’s what makes the drama special.
Agreed! It’s nothing special, and I really don’t understand the high ratings. I don’t think it will be rated…
I’ve seen many negative reviews in Douban, yet the drama is still doing very well in China. It’s a nice drama, though I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece. If you watch it with a relaxed mind, it’s easy to get completely obsessed with it. But if you watch it more critically and pay attention to the different elements, you might start noticing some flaws—just like I did.
Let's be real, which Cdrama trope and plot has not been used already, while the general storyline isn't entirely…
I’m not saying the drama is bad—I’m actually really enjoying it. I just feel that the plot and acting are not exactly chef’s kiss. The visuals, however, are beautiful.

In the first half of the drama, I felt quite uncomfortable about him. He seemed to live as if he didn’t care about anything in Jianghu, yet he was still controlling things indirectly. The best example was when Yuzhi and CZ ran away from their sect to MQY for medicine. Even if he wasn’t the main villain, I still didn’t think he was a good person.

Both Qi Sheng and Song Yan were absolutely *cooked*.
That slapping and fainting scene? Pure comedy gold 🤣
And the best part—when the emperor realised he almost took Xie Zheng’s woman as his own concubine… the man was internally screaming 💀
Puppet shocked. Chang Yu rocked. What an episode 🔥
PS. no now i think it is the man in the wheelchair
