The visuals and expressions of He Simu and Duan Xu during the fight scene in ep 3 was 🔥🔥🔥
They both looked so HAWT!

Just finished ep 4 and omg i'm getting more and more hooked by each episode!

Twitter and Weibo are already a mess with this ZLS/Esther rivalry; can we not turn MDL into the same bottom-tier battleground? Give it a rest and stop this nonsense .

Ragebait! You and that Jelly user is everywhere always trying to set up Esther to make more people turn up against her by posting these senseless comments. If you wanna fight or stir fandom wars , do it somewhere else, no one will stop you . But don't spread your negativity here on MDL, don't make this community toxic and let people enjoy the dramas in peace!

Google is free, but apparently common sense is still an endangered species for you that's why you tryna create fandom war here too!

yeah you're right! They were on SAL page too, insulted esther persistently for days! But read their review here - they tryna act like they are her fans just to drag her name so that more people starts hating her! What a hypocrite!😑

am saying this again - its just the first episode! Don't be disappointed.. the chemistry is there and many users felt it so maybe you will be able to see the spark between them soon!

Honestly i agree with you! But a user replied to me that "there is no chemistry between the leads in ep 1" 😭like WHAT? its just the first episode and they want them to go all out!?

Yes! That user just wants to stir fandom war here too on this page by using those two names! But we aren't so foolish to take her bait and start shitting on the other actors . He/She is so full of hate and negativity..they need to touch some grass before it gets to their brain .

The drama has already started attracting trolls..that Jelly user in the review section is trying to ragebait us by using Esther and He Yu name to make everyone turn against them . The review isn't the point, getting you to hate on HY and Esther is!! scroll accordingly and if you can please report their account and that review!
Don't start fandom war and let Reba's drama run smoothly on MDL.

episode 1 of 40 and you want full chemistry already😭 what do you want them to do for the rest of the show, stare at walls!? like let the story breathe bestie! We will get plenty of romantic scenes once they are done introducing the characters and the storyline!

Exactly!♥️ Even the ost that was playing in the background was so touching... totally loved it!

me too! Glad we're on the same boat😭

Okay will wait for you here 😇

Done with ep 1 and I genuinely was not prepared for how good this was going to look. Like i went with high expectations and it lived up to it... i was literally amazed just by the opening credit rolls and the bgm . Then the opening sequence with He Simu's introduction had me sitting up straight because the way they shot her; the stillness, the lighting, the silence before she even speaks was 🔥🔥 .

Dilraba really said "I will play a four hundred year old ghost queen and I will make you feel every single one of those years" and delivered. This is the first high-profile, big-budget drama of 2026 that doesn't vomit up rainbows and unicorns in its color scheme instead it's textured, moody, dark and darkkk. Like a fever dream crossing xianxia with A Nightmare Before Christmas. Despite the dark costumes and backdrops, the camera grades are never so dark that you can't see anything, which is the usual sin dramas commit during night scenes and nightmare-scapes. The production team clearly knew the assignment! Watching ep 1 felt like every frame was actually thought about before they hit record. And the OST??? It was amazing full of mysterious melody tunes and at times quite emotional .

Chen Feiyu as Duan Xu is giving me this quiet, sharp energy that I really wasn't expecting, he doesn't dominate scenes, he just holds them, and when he's looking at He Simu it's giving "I don't understand what you are but I'm not leaving either." The way Dilraba switches between being this untouchable, commanding Ghost King and then subtly softening the second Duan Xu is near, it's so understated but you feel it which is the hardest thing to pull off.

Their chemistry right now is a slow burn and I think I prefer it that way because it feels earned. Episode 1 alone has already gotten me by the throat and I don't think I'm getting out of this one unscathed.

My thought on Ep 1 and why you should start the drama asap!

Yess🔥

My fav scene from ep 1 was when Duan Xu gave his Veil hat to He Simu.. the way she was touched by his action but couldn't feel anything bcuz she's numb to emotions!😭❤️

Ep 1 was 10/10...loved how Reba is playing the power FL and at the same time the damsel in distress when she's with Duan Xu .

This drama is so my type..i'm gonna live react here while watching the eps! So don't mind me if i spam a bit too much cuz this is my only safe place where i can yap about it without anyone judging my obsession for dramas 😭😭
