Just finished this drama. Idk why people are saying that the romance is bad, i actually really liked their bickering and interactions. The crime was also not bad , i liked how they jam packed so many cases in the drama but honestly the cases aren’t that good but it is still better than most crime dramas recently. The culprits were pretty obvious in some cases but at least the backstory of the crimes were really touching for some. Overall it is a good watch

the OSTs are so gooddddd

Please correct me if I am wrong. But for the names part, especially in historical/wuxia/xianxia dramas, characters will have different salutations throughout the dramas.
For example if the character is a Prince, he will mostly be referred to as a prince in his birth order (e.g: 4th prince means that he is the 4th eldest prince). Most princes would be in charge of a certain department/city/army in which he would also be to as Prince of (city). In the case where the character is also the heir to the throne, he may also be referred to as the crown prince/heir apparent.
That character's family members may also use nicknames to call him (for males it would be ___ Er). Er means son in english

There is also HUGE misconception that chinese dramas are shorter than korean dramas.
Most chinese dramas that are 50-70 episodes long are historical/wuxia/xianxia and if you compare to Korean dramas of the same genre, the run time is around the same
There are so many chinese dramas (esp modern ones) that are 20-30 episode long. Since each episode ranges from 30-45 minutes, compared to Korean dramas that has 16-20 episodes and run for 1hr 15 mins, the total length of the drama will not be that different

Princess Wei Young (Tang dynasty I think)

Ah sorry I meant to be died because of each other! I was too excited! Thanks for pointing it out

I am pretty unsatisfied with that ending
like I know its a happy ending but there are still so many things that could have made it better:
I needed more romantic scenes btw JM and XF!!!! Why did they have so little non-crying scenes together!! I needed at least one more kiss and not them playing with a kid

I really wanted Moon Immortal and Xuan Ji to have some love line (at least hinted) but we didnt even see them at all!! And Yan You too!!

I really wanted to know why Kuang Lu loved RY so much! (maybe I missed the scene pls tell me!)

Overall, I think the ending felt a little rushed and there are some parts left unanswered and I really needed more romantic scenes

I really think they will revive JM!! In the last scene there was Yan You holding sth (I think its JM's prowess that she used to give him) and I think that can be somehow used to revive her!

I am pretty sure we will see a happy ending

Urghhhh just finished watching 58-59 expecting there to be the wedding scene and dsfsfdfasdasdjasdkjakdjaskdjaskdjaskjdaksdjasjd there isnt lol

I love the actor playing RY. Him playing Yan You was so hilarious and funny, yet immediately at the next scene he was acting so emotional and angst. Right now I hate RY more than SH but I must say that all the actors are just 10/10

oh sorry for the wrong info then, the official YT video comes out at midnight

I loved Feng Jiu and Dong Hua DI Ju in TMOPB!! I feel that the demon princess and QI Mu didnt have much chemistry in this series

It is not out yet. It will be out at midnight (China time)

yup I agree she is awesome in this drama

the drama i was referring to was destiny of white snake. It is not downright terrible but still not as good as her acting here

I think shes amazing in this drama but I think her acting in her previous drama wasn't that good?

They hit 9 billion a few days ago (only in China though)

I was hesitant to watch the drama at first too because I had heard about Yang Zi's bad acting. The start was also rather slow for me and I did not like JM at first

Personally I think that the show gets much better at ep 13. If you like WuXia and Melodramas I thin you should pick it up again!

Same I wish we will get a backstory of KL soon

Kuang Lu is the best character tbh, she likes RY but doesn't scheme and plot against JM and even helps her. Sui He should learn from her haha

Agreed, it is one of the best dramas I have watched this year and depending on the ending, I think it may be better than TMOPB

I am actually loving the character development of the supporting casts! But I guess I understand why others may find it draggy.
