The series is really a feel good series and i enjoyed watching it despite poor execution of the deception conflict. It was overly dragging. It has the right recipe for a nearly perfect series: Great actors and the chemistry of the whole cast was amazing, the OST and musical scoring brings more life for each scene, the unique and detailed camera and direction is superb, but more importantly the palpable and sizzling chemistry of the two main leads. Now i know why there were a lots of noise about the chemistry of the two lead actors. You cant help but smile while watching them. It feels so real and they both nailed their roles.
Despite the rant about the deception conflict, i will still recommend this series and just skip that 2 episodes. It is not as flawless as One and Only but still one of the great series so far for me.
Is it a good series? I'm watching this for Xu Kai as I'm a great fan of his acting. I've dropped most of his recent series and I really hope this is a good one. His acting talent is undeniable and I hope he can be selectve of his project materials since i find it a waste of a great talent.
I was having a drama "drought" and take a chance of watching this series. The production is impressive but I must say it can be quite dragging. There are two things that stand out for me: Hard to choose or predict who the FL will end up (though I prefer Jing). This leads me to the second point which is the acting of the 3 male main actors here. The actor playing the 9-head demon is excellent in portraying all roles: villain, the victim, and a romantic guy.
I'm also not a fan of the FL. I only finished Ashes of Love and the rest of her work I dropped from watching as I only see similar acting. In the beginning of the series I was thinking "here's the same acting/roles again', but towards the middle and development of the story, I can see some growth in her acting.
But for me, as I'm having a drama "drought" and waiting for next good series, I endure watching it. There's a lot of scenes or episodes thats too dragging and it's 39 episodes for season 1. And I wonder how long is the season 2?
what would people reccommend for fans of this? I’ve been watching Asian dramas for over 7 years now and only…
most of Lu si and Bai Lu's works are great. They're bold and have variety of roles that shows their natural gifted talents. Here's some of my recommendations: https://kisskh.at/list/3bgwjjG4
it kind of sucks because I truly believe Xu kai has so much potential as an actor but when you take all these…
it's admirable and it's really brave of him as an actor to take on different roles. But there's always a risk. Though the story and casting might be good (like his 2-3 previous ones), it doesn't mean it's good. More of average or even low which is such a waste of great talent like Xu Kai. Though I like him as an actor, he still need to get a series with great pairing that could really show his talent. and sustain his strength as a great actor. Thats just me and others who rated his previous shows low.
I was excited to watch this series and waited until it finished airing before waiting. The story looks promising and with 2 topnotch leads, my expectation is very high. I'm on the 10th episode now and usually I can watch it less than a day. But I'm really struggling watching it. There's something lacking. individually the acting is superb. but It felt dry and find myself getting bored. perhaps it's the musical scoring? or the chemistry?
This is the 3rd series of Xu Kai that I dropped. I'm a fan of his acting, also Yang Mi. But I'm sorry I have to drop watching this. Xu Kai needs to choose a better role or co-leads to sustain his popularity and versatility as an actor.

Same but dropped it from the beginning because I endured his other fantasy drama too blue whisper
I also dropped Blue Whisper until I find a good video with good English sub. I was thinking the pacing is way too fast and the development of the story arc and their characters does not have that solid foundation for me to hold to the story. But that's just me.
I was so excited to see Ren Allen again and was really looking forward to this series. He set the bar so high for me after watching him at One and Only and Forever and ever series. His acting and looks is once again topnotch. I hope he can do more great series with great script and story.
But this series is just a disappointment, I'm not sure if the genre is love story, fantasy, comedy or even a twilight zone. I find the plot very confusing, ridiculous, among others. Acting, cinematography and custom is great. It's just the story and screenplay that failed to deliver what could be a great series.
finally watched this series. It's been a while that I've watched a kdrama, though its a bit cliche the execution was great and it's the first time I've completed a Korean drama. Thought the quality is there, most of the kdrama I've seen got a "template", so it became predictable and dropped after few scenes.
great character development of ML but the FL? soooo annoying. Very unrealistic attachment and always on the go to save a guy who is just a normal friend. Despite the trouble, scandal, heartache, headache to majority of the people around her. Forsaking everything just to save her "ordinary" friend? But the actress portrayal is impressive. not her fault that her character role is very flawed

Dropped nearly half-way.
