not even half way thru yet but damn this drama is amazing. absolutely hooked from episode one. great chemistry between the leads and everyone just keeps you guessing, at the edge of your seat. love it.
Just completed this drama after such a long procrastination. Honestly it's one of better productions of 2023 and I really enjoyed it which actually changed my views of Cheng Yi. Previously the reason why I dragged on watching this drama is due to my impression of Cheng Yi's performances and repetitive characters after he gained fame from the pitiful ML in Love and Redemption... Li Lian Hua is definitely a character that gave him a different look to his usual works.
Story wise is rather well made and every character is distinctive which I enjoy the sly Li Lian Hua trying to con Di Fei Sheng when he lost some memories :)
Highly recommend to watch if you like mystery case solving and unexpected bromance!
Looking for recommendations for similar dramas. This was sooo good, I'm usually not a fan of this kind of drama but I took a chance and did not regret it one bit.
i still remember i binge-watched this drama in just a few days. it was weirdly addicting though i found the misunderstanding after the misunderstanding had gotten really frustrating, even in the last episode. still worth to watch.
Cheng Yi's Elle Men magazine interview edition 8 Jan 2024
"a perfect script will never fall from the sky. The key to determining the success or failure of a work lies in the mentality of the entire crew. For a good script, if everyone doesn't put their heart into filming, the result may not be that good. Even if it is a bad script, if everyone has a good atmosphere and is UNITED, there may be different gains." - Cheng Yi
This is very true with MLC's team case. Its one of the most harmonious cast and team on off screen, even the audience here are also harmonious and MLC's page become one of the most peaceful page on MDL 🤣✌️
United cast & team + excellent script + supportive audience = boom 😁
Link for the full interview, its full of life insights, his perspectives on life are simple and we will get warmth feeling reading it 🥰
This is sooo damn well done, well written , well directed and well enacted!!! Action scenes are breathtaking!! Its rarer for me do love dramas that doesn't have romance angle....infact personally i feel either they should handle the romance angle properly or should just leave it completely, here the couple were literally forced and unsuited/mismatched, specially the pairing with ML But apart from this I genuinely loveddd this to the core....but sadly even after completing the whole thing I don't remember a single name of the place, sects or ppl apart from the leads...and it was so confusing that i constantly had to refers to charts thought the drama to understand the relationship because the story was too engaging to give up😭😂
Finally finished today , it was really good drama , the actual interesting plot starts after ep 5. I almost dropped it in intial episode because it was just about fighting with each other... But after ep 5 it really become interesting. Good and worth watch drama with a great story..
A very good wuxia-mystery drama and after long span of many disappointing shows (mostly romance-xianxia since those dominate the cdrama world right now), finally a cdrama that i really enjoyed from beginning to end. This show is great for you if you like historical wuxia, mystery cases, a smart ML, brotherly bonds, hidden identities and a big overarching conspiracy. This show is not for you if you like romance, naive leads, fast paced action plots or more fantastical xianxia-like elements. Best (non-modern) cdrama of the year 2023 for me.
A masterpiece in my book. I love a drama that captivates me to watch til the end. Cus i have a habit to stop midway then i lose interest to finish them dramas.
My forever best drama 2023, here again on this page after watching some very good ones after this drama but none of my 2023 favourite surpassed it in my heart ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹 Need to watch this again and again 💕💕 !!
Extra update on disciple movie's in-depth analysis for Cheng Yi's acting skill
Summed up :
Cheng Yi's performance is like a flowing river. The way he affects the audience is not a sudden visual and auditory blow like thunder, but when you look at him, you will feel him and feel his state of mind at some point, and then resonate with love, heartache, and reluctance.
While other actors usually focus on highlight moments, Cheng Yi doesnt.
He and The character becomes one, and the audience follows him into the role and into the plot, and unknowingly he becomes a pebble in the river and flows with it. Beautiful and special feeling ❤️
Cheng Yi's relaxed and natural interpretation makes people feel that he is LXY and Li Lian Hua who came out of the book (novel) of Lotus Tower 😉

i really like that FL, I like see her jobs
The beginning until the middle was good.
but after ep 20+ was a little slow and boring for me...
It is a good drama in its own genre aka melodrama...
I like it. Thank you.
Peace :)
