It took me 2.5 months but I'm glad that I finally finished the drama. I'm not a fan of historical stuff and I guess that's a big reason why I didn't get the hype of this drama. the first 33 episodes were boring and I thought of dropping it until I started to enjoy it. I don't regret watching this after putting it off for so many years. I'm glad to experience something that many people love. Considering everything, I still think it's a bit overrated.
I loved lan zhan the most. the other characters were a little bit overwhelming for me. I loved their chemistry. I didn't like the ending much. it felt a little off for me. That's all I guess haha cause I'm not used to doing reviews. And please don't come at me for not liking it as much as most people did.
Will it be okay for me, someone struggling academically and feeling mentally exhausted, to watch it in my free time? Or will I find it too complicated to understand?
Idk about you but i myself finished it a few months ago and i started enjoying it once the flashbacks began around…
Haha I would probably complain about Lan Zhan if this were another drama. I got so overstimulated by the other characters that I actually felt relaxed whenever he came on screen. Btw I’m feeling better about the drama now so I decided to keep watching it. I can’t wait to see the goofier version of their relationship.

I feel like they are dragging the plot a bit and the number of characters is overwhelming. My brain has to work hard to remember everyone, which is ruining my enjoyment. I liked the beginning when the story was set in the present day. At which episode do they return to the present? The acting feels a bit over the top for me except for Lan Zhan and some of the older characters. The scenery is indeed beautiful, though. The same goes for the music.
The first 15 eps or so set up the stage for the following tragedy (and plants most of the seeds for the second…
ikr! I'm on ep 14 now and I started watching like a month ago. I'm having a hard time understanding the plot and feeling overwhelmed by too many characters. I'm also curious about Lan Zhan like you, didn't like anybody else as of now. I was very interested in the drama before they went to the past. I don't know when they'll go back to the present day of the drama.
As a BL fan, I noticed how my fellow bl fans talked about this drama and that's how I came to watch this even though Chinese dramas especially historical ones aren't my thing. I just wanted to be a little part of it. I'm feeling guilty for forcing myself to watch this like I'm just wasting my time at this point but at the same time it's hard to let go. I guess I'll give it a try until I reach ep 20. If I still don't like it, I'll drop it with a broken heart :(

Thank you for explaining it to me. One thing I want to add is that this platform is made for viewers to share their opinions. Just as people can share how much a drama is worth the hype, others can also share the opposite. So there definitely is a point there. After all, that’s what this platform is for.
sweetheart? that time i only thought of siblings or cousinsss
idk their love story yet so I might be wrong. but isn't the doc blind in love? puifai isn't a good person enough to do all the killings for. wasn't she dating champ at the time she pretended to die
Me toooo 😂😭😭😭 I only realized in episode 6 that they weren't the same person💀💀💀💀
I literally had to go back to the first eps to clear my confusion. all this time, I was getting annoyed at why the doc was hitting on kamin when he had the whole killing plan to worry about just to find out that they are different people 😭
