Great acting, and action
This is my first review on the site, although I have been a member awhile now.So I binged watch this within a week and just finished it around an hour ago. It had me glued to my seat and other than work and eat, I wanted to just watch and finish the drama. Kinda zombie mode.
From the start till the end it had my full attention. The humour was great whenever you see the trio. The fighting scenes was fabulous. The actors that portrait each of their role was really good, strong cast. I love the detective/mystery of the drama the most. But I hated the ending and just before, I know I seen the special, it seems like an open ending, wish it was more concrete.
To be honest 2/3 into the series , I cried in frustrated tears for LXY, he could have been on top of the wuxia world but was tricked to crashed down to the bottom and dying! Most of the ending was pretty stupid, I didn't like it and wish it was different. For this reason I only have it 9.5 out of 10, else this drama is perfect

I like to have loved it but that is not the case
I don't usually bother with writing reviews, I leave score and that it!. I am gonna be honest and started to watch it becuase of the ML Zhang Linghe, I can't say the drama was a disappointment but it wasn't great and something I would rewatch.First off I love that the theme is about TCM, also each episode beginning they introduce 1 item and what is good with it. The drama was so slow going it got on my nerves. Even the amazing ML couldn't stop it from being a tad boring, the plain actress Fl, never seen her before and don't think she is a good actress or match with the ML to make them being a couple believable but this is just my opinion.
It really annoyed me she strung the guy all along and she knew that they had feelings for each other, she did the jealous thing when she thought he had a son and was so stroppy with him, once she found out it was a misunderstanding and to me this made it very clear to the ML she was interested in him. Yet she turned him down when he asked her to be his girlfriend, like what was that about? if your not interested then don't string him along; Yes I know the storyline of she is scared because of her ex, however they are friends and she didn't need to be so cruel to him. At this point I nearly dropped the drama, but I carried on and finished it but can't say I enjoyed it 100% I just wanted to finish it.

Watch it for what it is
I thought it was fun and I watched it for what it was, it's was fun and funny.I am a big fan of Strong Girl Bong Soon and was so excited to see the spin off getting released, I usually watch series when they are finishes as I binge and hate waiting but for this I watch it on the day it was released. So ok wasn't as great as Bong Soon, but still I found it fun to watch. If it was the same as the original might as well watch that again for the 3rd time, I found it different, especially the way the 3 woman can sense each other.
I didn't like the mothers acting which was OTT or Nam soon's but I over looked it and finished it. I dunno why the big fuss of so many people say its rubbish and dropped it as I thoroughly enjoyed the series.
