Thank you! :)

Hello! Thank you for your link. Unfortunately I still get the message "The uploader has not made this video available in your country". I will continue to keep an eye open if it does come available. 😊

How many blood-bags were harmed in the making of this film? Luo Yun Xi should win an award for how many times an actor can spit blood in the making of one episode😁.
But in all honesty, he should win many more awards for his brilliant acting in all areas of this production. All the cast were great. This is one of the best fantasy wuxia dramas I have seen in a while. Love conquers all - Loved it!

Just fyi if you are looking for this movie on Viki, you will only find the animated series, at least in my region. The animated version is 26 episodes long and beautifully and artfully made. I rarely if ever choose to watch anime but this one caught my eye and I was spellbound. I would love to see the movie version of course. If it is still available on any other platforms I'd love to know.

Stunning!
I fell in love with the chicken and the god Xing Zhi from the beginning and had to see their story through to the end. I was not disappointed with any aspect of this drama.

Lots of intrigue that keeps you guessing. Not everything the main character does ends perfectly which makes it believable. I enjoyed watching Xiao Zhan, he always delivers 100%. Fantasy genre, no particular dynasty or time period, so liberties can be taken with rulers and their offspring. Enjoyable start to finish!

Loved it! Felt real and natural. Acting was great and the characters weren't stereotypical. No exaggerated clichés and fun to watch.

Although this is released after Guardians of the Dafeng, the timeline for this spinoff would have be towards the beginning of the series or at least when the character 'Yang Qian Huan' starts appearing with his back to everyone. Using Qian Huan's example, the girl 'He Hua' breaks free of a fate that is determined by others and choses to continue his legacy by helping the Guardians in his place. Guardians of the Dafeng is a must to watch for this spinoff to make sense.

The ML was very good, his potential is far above his role in this drama. I found the FL depressing to watch, she rarely smiled and just looked so unhappy for most of the story. Can't tell if her character was just written this way as I haven't read the webtoon. Overall it isn't too bad - ending is happy - an okay filler while waiting for something better to come along.

I was matched with The Untamed. I'd already seen it and loved it so the result was a surprising piece of fun.

I haven't finished this yet but so far the heavenly realm's characters consist of 1 sheeplike follower, 1 hissing blonde and one self-absorbed, greedy, and misogynistic immortal who's obsessed with having power over a female he failed to get the first time round (King Bailing). Please tell me the demons win this round.

To be honest I have a love/hate relationship with this one. On one hand it was incredibly well performed, scripted and choreographed. It was emotionally charged and gripping right through to the end. I gave it an 8.5/10 because I did enjoy it. On the other hand though, there were a few things that didn't make sense, some things that felt like a pointless let-down and things that kept me awake at night from loathing and injustice.
An episode or two more could have explained a few things but keeping it short and impactful also worked. This is one that I might not treasure but it will stay with me a long time.

Actors did a fine job but the show was ruined for me by a totally messed up ending that rendered all the emotional build-up mute. Only redeeming quality was the cute white dog.

Breathtaking. The acting from all the cast was stella. It left me indescribably torn between heartbreak and happy.

I have given this drama a good rating, mainly to counter the above critics. I think you have to watch this drama not expecting it to be a soft romance like oh so many others. Maybe the synopsis doesn't prepare you for what it really is. This is hardcore, nasty and venomous. I would rather it didn't have the sex scenes that made it feel like watching US tv, however the storyline, mystery and the emotional flow of the characters made it very interesting and enjoyable. The narcissistic ex-wife was so on point, I hated her so much and the female lead's impassive handling of her should win an Oscar. The husband/s were great too. It's a great show if you are looking for something outside the box. Kudos to Kim Ryeo-Ryeong, the writer of the book that made this show a possibility.

I like dairy products. Nothing wrong with cheese, as a snack or in a tv show, cheesy is good. Watch this show if you like an offbeat rom-com with a great supporting cast full of interesting and not so average people. This show ticked all the boxes. Fun, quirky humour, slow to heat up romance that felt natural for the characters and their circumstances, a meaningful message about prejudice and second chances in life, lots of tough guy action and a truly happy 'dripping with melted cheese' ending. Enjoy!

This show was "I'm stupid and I'm with stupid" from start to finish on repeat. I made it through the 20 episodes only because I foolishly expected it to at least end in an interesting or satisfactory way, but nope. So many flaws and things that made no sense at all. 1. A king whose 'only' child he wants to murder because a witch, who has shown nothing but contempt for the royal family and blatantly tried to harm everyone including himself, has told him she must die. 2. A princess who has quite powerful magic but is too weak/stupid to use it on her enemies or to free herself from multiple traps and captivity. 3. A murderer who goes around ripping peoples hearts out for the witch's rituals is eventually identified and captured but at some point for no reason at all is roaming around the streets again as if nothing happened. I've given it a 5/10 and I feel that's generous.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Amazing acting from the entire cast. Dylan Wang was the perfect ML for this role and a lot of fun to watch. There's lots of action, humour, a great story, excellent fx, interesting characters, mystery figures and some satisfying rogue justice. The focus isn't on the romance, there are some sweet moments between the M & F leads but the hero has more important things to do... like saving Dafeng. The story doesn't end with this drama, I look forward to seeing what comes next.

I'm up to episode 19 atm. I quite like this show and I have noticed that the platform I watch this on has removed the visuals for the show. I have since found out that the actor that plays the ML (Zhang Hao Wei) is blacklisted for problems in his personal life, to the point of his face being substituted in his most recent dramas. Whether or not you like him or approve of him personally, I can't help think that this is extreme. At the end of the day an actor is paid to do a job, if they do that job and do it effectively then they deserve to be recognised for it. Whether you condone his actions in his personal life or not. I quite liked his performance in this drama and hope that people don't throw this drama to the 'never watch' list just because of the bad publicity.

The Emperor and Princess of Xiyan would probably be considered the 2nd couple, although the Crown Prince and his relationship with the General of Yan is significant as well. There is a budding relationship between the FL's long time friend and a good natured villager. Unfortunately there are very few happy endings in this drama.
