Great movie mixing Mojin, Candle in the Tomb and a sprinkle of Indiana Jones. The production was very good and direction and acting built a cool entertaining story. Only unremarkable part was the sountrack, which I barely noticed.

Good series that could had developed the story better. Acting was all over the place between very good and just passable. There was a good mix between humor and tragic scenes. However, some of the stuff he did, such as the blood transfusion was simply ridiculous. The end left a cliffhanger for a season 2 that apparently was shelved. Still, it's worth watching.

Nice xianxia. The story had some cheesy moments but the good ones made worth watching it. The main actors and actresses did a great job with the chemistry. I also liked the soundtrack. So, a good story, easy going and light.

The end was a bit on the imaginary side. The way the villain was always a step ahead, that pull with the empress and emperor giving full power to the inquisitor was a bit of a stretch. But, I guess the writer had to make a happy ending. Neverthless, a great story.

Great production. The acting, direction and the story were very good, topped by an excellent OST.

This series started very good and had some great humorous scenes. However, close to end, the writer and director probably got an arm twist by the CCP. It became an unecessary CCP propaganda that went way overboard because it spoiled good scenes. Anyway, acting in general was good and production also. It could have easily been an 8 if not for the excessive propaganda.

What a waste of actors and budget. The series started well but to the end it went way overboard. Someone probably put a gun to the head of the screenwriter and director and forced them to write that ending. They could have reached the same ending in a much more plausible way. That one seems wrtitten by a five years old.

LOL! Do you watch a whole series to conclude it's trash? I even tried watching episode 3 but it was simply too bad. On top of the highly compressed story (30 in the original vs. 8 in Netflix') the acting was really poor. In a nutshell, just another Hollywood trash. The Chinese version dances many circles around Netflix'.

In the middle of the second episode and completely agree. Looks like crap. It was already bad because they skipped a lot of important details. However, the hammered the last nail in that coffin when they put the typical hollywood woke crap into it. Not even sure I'll finish episode 2.

Excellent series on a similar line as Ordinary Greatness. Excellent production, story, direction, acting and phography. The soundtrack matched it well and made several scenes really good. It had everything just right: comedy, drama, the usual triangle, suspense, and so on. It's one of the series I'll definitely watch again.

I thought I did. For me it was great, just as I expected. However, others measure it differently. It varies according to the viewer, isn't it? 😉

I think it was just right for this genre, considering the ML and FL personalities. They did a great job.

Funny and lighthearted series. The idea is not original but the writer managed to pull a fun-to-watch twist on it. The actors also did a good job impersonating their roles, some very eccentric.

Several of those in the recommended list are very good.

There's a cool movie Time Traveler (https://kisskh.at/246-time-traveller) that deserves a honorable mention even though it was 2010.

Nothing yet on Netflix. There's something weird going on because it just released the Judge Dee series and all episodes that are not released yet have the release date already defined (as Netflix usually does).

Understandable. That's why my comment saying they could have done a lot better. Some stuff like that made my rating go to 7.

I don't think he died. The writer likely wanted to show the ML not able to appreciate/be together with the FL because he was always coming from or going to some emergency. At least this was my understanding. However, I agree they could have done it much better.

OK series. Maybe the overall acting was the main culprit for it to leave somewhat to be desired. The story could have been much better developed, based on what I watched in similar series.

I haven't started watching yet. Waiting for all episodes to be available, since I usually binge watch the series I choose.
