Chessman

Oh my word, this was clean. It’s the surprise cast for me that was unveiled step by step with perfect timming. The cast, by the way, all played their role to a tee. The storyline kept me invested with all the mysterious identities and just the sheer performance of the cast in general, everyone played a part, a very big part in their own.
This one might be a nitpick but the way cultivation and magic was seamlessly incorporated without really making it all about magic was perfect, same goes for the romance side of things. All the power-play was well calculated and well-written, the mystery part really kept me invested and I don’t really know who the credit goes to but fairs, I’m satisfied.
Now to the ML and FLs. I was never a Dylan Wang die-hard and was really on that bandwagon train of purely glaing him like nearly 80% of the C-drama watcher I see commenting on various forums however, he’s really convinced me is this drama. He acted the hell out of that role. I always found his performances, sort of like trying too much and cringe to an extent but this has shut me up.
Don’t expect me to go on and credit everyone as they’ve all done their job so well, I was mesmerised by that Dylan Wang perfomance that I had to get certain things off my chest.
