Help im still at the restaurant

Whatt. I really loved his styling for chang ning, he looked so handsome. But i agree his mu qingyan styling is top tier ✨️

Same ive started like 3 dramas including Pursuit of Jade but maybe i got spoiled by the fast pacing of this drama i felt like POJ was too slow. Barely anything major happened for 14 episodes so i got bored. 😪

Finally got around to finishing the show and I'm going to miss it a lot. Even though it was a happy ending I still cried like a baby the whole time. (tears of joy though of course). I loved the cast very much and especially our main leads, Bao Shang en and Zhou Yiran who did an awesome job. Hope to see them in more dramas in the future. Sad to be saying good bye to Jianghu :,(

Yea just judging from the reviews, youll either love it or hate it haha. The lowest ratings are from people who barely made it past 10 episodes tho so its kinda sad they didnt give it a fair chance

It was a good watch for me and ill miss it 😩

Its sad cuz theyre all on the first page so newer viewers will see it and feel discouraged. Its why i suggest upvoting the positive ones (if you agree with them) so more people can see. I know its not the greatest production ever but its definitely not worth the low ratings. Such harsh critics and in my opinion not deserving. Ive watched many dramas and dropped many but this one managed to make me stay to the end 🤷‍♀️

Noo I still havent watched 35-37. Still trying to process it ending so im slowly fnishing it haha. I even bought the express package on wetv
to support.

I also hope they reunite for another costume drama or modern. Their chemistry is just 🔥. I never got around to 'watching when i fly towards you' so maybe ill watch that after this to continue seeing yiran

The comparison to Cheng Yi I can't--asdfghjkl, I can totally see the similarities. Our two blood spitting kings ❤️

That totally make sense and honestly im kinda upset they nerfed him so much. Ive heard others say he was very strong in the novel but in the drama they made him appear weaker and almost always needing the female lead to save him. I wonder if they did that to make zhaozhao more powerful?

Aww no worries, thank you as well for taking the time to read and reply to me. Its always nice talking to others who share the same view and see things from other perspectives.

Mu Qingyan is definitely a guilty please to watch because had it been anyone else other than yiran acting as him, I might have had a different opinion. Maybe would have scrutinized him more! But Yiran played the part so well, how could i find fault when he has such pitiful puppy eyes and shameless pouting towards the female leads. Aside from his calculative and manipulative side, he is such a golden retriever and green flag for being so gentle and an awesome cook towards our female lead hehe

Im reluctant to finish the rest of the episodes because it would mean saying good bye to my fav characters 😭

I saw that Yiran will have another historical drama released soon in May and his styling looked hot especially his little ear peircing. 😏 hope its a good watch like this one

Woops i was still editing my reply after you already saw and replied. I tried to explain what i thought about that stranger act. Let me know what you think!

Yess you worded it better than me. His desperation to be with her fueled him to quickly find the one scheming behind the scenes. Without resolving the main issue at hand, he wont be able to get her parents and friends approval for marriage because they think him and his sect are responsi le for the evildoings. So he has to essential play the "bad guy" in order to reveal the truth.

Im assuming youre talking about the 1 year break up they had and how he acted like he didn't care for her anymore? It did seem out of character for him considering how obsessive he is towards her but i think that may have been weak scriptwriting to blame. They had a pretty clean break up with her telling him how much she loves him but can't leave her family and sect behind to be with him. He probably understood then that he couldn't stop her from leaving. I guess his little "I dont care about her anymore" was just his coping mechanism to get back on track with his original plan. They both needed time away to focus on themselves.

Even though he tried to act like strangers when he met her again (i guess to make her jealous or guilty for leaving him?) , he quickly switches up and protects her even though shes stabbing him in the chest and protecting his rivalry in love (yuzhi lol) . His pretend act quickly falls and everyone knows including his 2 sidekicks that he still loves her.

I just checked the site and all episodes got uploaded. Have funnn

I know you didn't ask for my opinion but I thought id share my view on the ML's actions regarding "using" her for his own schemes.

To me Mu Qingyan is a morally grey and complex character who had a hard upbringing and probably never felt much affection in his life which explains his manipulative behavior because he had to be that way to survive. While he did use and lie to the FL for his own benefits, he was kind of forced to take action that way. Our FL is quite strong-headed and turns a blind eye to her own "righteous" sects actions unless the proof is right in front of her eyes, so he has to "force" her to make a decision. Our male lead spends almost half of the series trying to "instigate" and get her to help him with his big goal which is to get revenge and to bring peace back to Jianghu which is ultimately her goal as well. When Mu Qingyan got caught by the masters, he bet with himself that Zhaozhao would betray her family and sect to save him and even if she didn't he had a backup plan. Zhaozhao just happened to love him enough to fall for his trap and saved him willingly. Was it manipulative on his part? Yes, there's no defending that. But if he didn't try to force Zhaozhao's hand, he wouldn't have been able to lure out Nie Zhe's spies or the man in black. Even after Zhaozhao said she felt betrayed that he used her as a chess piece for his scheme, she said she didn't regret saving him at all because she loves him and can't see him die.

Zhaozhao became Mu Qingyan's whole world and source of light to his once tragic past. He's willing to throw everything away for her including his position as young master of li sect. It's zhaozhao who is reluctant to leave even though she wants the same thing as him. So Mu Qingyan is "forced" to make Jianghu peaceful for her to agree to be with him even if it meant burning the world down including using her to get there. Id say his biggest red flag is not discussing his plans with her but he probably knows she won't listen to him haha. But its for the opposite for him, he will always listen to what she says. If she told him to die for her, he would

Absolutely beautiful summary of this series and I agree with everything you said! I hope others will enjoy it like I did

it seems like the countdown on kisskh says ep 34 will air in 7 hours. Im not sure if they will drop the rest as well

Thank you for such an amazing and detailed review, I pretty much agree with everything you said about the show. I wish we could pin comments but im scared this will get lost in the the sea of comments. I wonder if you could post this an official review for others to read ❤️

Ngl this drama might not be for you. While our leads have a lot of cute scenes together, its not them vs the world the entire series, in fact theyre only together towards the very end of the show. Its a slow burner if youre into that stuff so I dont want you to get disappointed while watching it.

If you dont mind that and love obsessive male leads and old wuxias, this is a good entertaining series

I didnt finish the last 5 episodes yet but are you saying hes still poisoned and it never got cured?! 😭
