In my heart A Sheng is the heroine of this story.It's not that I hated the FL, but for me she was not very interesting and only walked adrift in the mortal world with no tribulation nor specific purpose. Alen Ren did a good job, it was an entertaining Xianxia with a right amount of sadness.
I'm crying my eyes out watching these people dying to save >books< , it's like a metaphor for nowadays librarians traying to protect books from being banned in a certain western country.
Things feel heavy around MDL comments session. It's an OK drama, I appreciate it when a story about the politics of love and war doesn't rely on binary thinking. The only thing I've missed is Chu Qiao's super power.
I'm at episode 17. It's got better after the first episodes, at least editing/direction doesn't feel chopped anymore. Li YunRui has such a gentle face, I could watch him forever in this character.
I am giving it a chance as only 5 episodes are out, but the direction and production are very poor, it's not the casting's fault. And yes, I have watched Princess Agent.
So in ep.21 they remembered all the infinite loop and the first time they fought against the author (?)...I like the idea that even in repetition time is spiraling, never the same, contradicting what Nan Zhi believes.
I love fight scenes in this drama. This is exactly what I expect from a c-drama involving war. And here, the scenes are especially technological. Chinese productions seem to be far surpassing those of other countries. I wish it was 40+ episodes not only for the plot development, but also to get more of these awesome fights!!
It's about messing up with all sects in Jianghu just because the man in black didn't get the girl. That's the main problem/flaw of this drama, besides the confusing and tiresome storytelling. But Zhou Yi Ran did a good job, got me interested in his future works, and Wan Peng was great as the tired heroine. This should be a 2 seasons or 40+ episodes drama in my opinion.
This is going downhill. In a good script not only character but also relationship development is important. One whole episode wasted in push and pull and mistrust, while characters still have no clue on who the man in black is...guess it is not important anymore? I am tired. And I hope Yuzhi keeps being the nice guy he is.
It became a little dragging for me. At this point (30 ep) we already know who the man in black might be. I don't know if I can stand a second round of zombies ;) We have only 7 eps to unfold past and present stories...
If there’s one thing that deserves to be praised in this series, it’s the script. No loose ends were left, even though the story itself isn’t especially complex. I was also honestly impressed by Ryan Cheng’s performance. In a single character, I could glimpse a boy lost in a hostile world, a mad tyrant, and a king in love. Very good! It’s not an unforgettable series — the kind that stays in your head long after it ends — but it was so perfect in its transitions between drama and comedy, death and love, that you’ve got to give it credit..
