I dropped this drama after watching half of it back when it was airing. I'm thinking of finishing it, because I'm still curious about the ending and about Leon Lai's character. I initially dropped this because Vic Zhou was seriously miscast. Somehow he doesn't fit into the world of this drama like the other actors and has zero chemistry with Dilraba. An example of how a miscast ML can ruin a perfectly good drama.

No idea what this drama is about, but Jing Tian and Xu Kai is enough reason to put this on my to watch list

I think he's a great actor. I will admit though that after The Untamed and Miss the Dragon, I'm going to have a hard time trusting any character he plays until the end.

Another one to look forward to.

It would have been nice if she also spoke up against China in defence of the Uyghurs, but I guess she's more afraid of China then she is of Russia

Exactly what I was thinking

Still not over this drama.

I think the talks about a drama adaptation started around 2016. I waited for years and then gave up. I thought it was never going to happen. Then it all started again with rumoured actors and everything, but this is snail pace.

I wish they would just give us more info already. There have been rumours about this being turned into a drama since so long ago and Wallace Huo was rumoured to star in it. That's how long I've been waiting for this to happen

Obviously I really like the concept, so my review whatever it might be is coloured by my overall liking of a show with a supernatural element. I really liked the characters. The story is interesting and immersive and the lead female character is definitely fun enough to carry this drama. I really liked the cast with the exception of Yeo Jin Goo. This is not a response to a lack of talent, because I think it's obvious by now that he is a great actor, but unfortunately he was miscast. For the most part it looked like a child in his father's clothing. Like a teen trying to act like an adult. It was a bit jarring. There was also not a lot of chemistry between him and IU, which ruins a love story that could have been much more if the actors shared chemistry. Overall, I really liked this drama. It's visually pleasing, the OST is beautiful and the story is engaging.

Regardless of the era, Sado as portrayed in this movie, definitely should not have been born as a King's son or at least not the heir.

Watched this a few years ago and both Song Kang Ho's and Yoo Ah In's performance is embedded in my mind. Prince Sado's story has been retold many times, but this one is so dark and haunting that it stays with you. The slow deterioration of the father/son relationship from childhood to adulthood is portrayed so well. Definitely a must watch

The best way to describe this drama is haunting. I watched this one about 7 years ago and I still remember it clearly. It's a very dark and horrifying drama that will haunt you forever

This is a very heartwarming and emotional watch. I really enjoyed it.

This one is definitely one of my most anticipated dramas. Both Yang Zi and Cheng Yi are a delight to watch onscreen.

I really liked this drama. Jun Ji Hyun pretty much carried it, but that was to be expected seeing as she had the most interesting character. Light, cute and funny.

Definitely agree with this. The kdrama adaptation was nothing like the manhwa, which is why I just decided to see them as two completely separate works. That's the best way to enjoy the drama and not get too upset about all the changes. I also agree with the idea that this should be a xianxia drama, because it's very obviously based on the same mythology and the overall look would just be amazing.

Definitely putting this on my list

Loved this cute drama

I watched this back when it was airing and I must admit there's not mich to remember storywise. I watched this purely because of the cast and the beginning of the drama was interesting, but the characters just weren't developed well and the story didn't seem to be going anywhere. The actors did a great job with what they were provided. Overall, definitely a one time watch.
