The way the ML is portrayed is simply superb. After watching male leads who are pretty much fake men in drama after drama this one is feels refreshing.
This guy is a warm person, a bit of a dork, not the best looking guy, awkward at times and pretty stupid lot of times. The first girl who is kind to him, he falls for her. A very predictable guy thing.

Glad that romance is not central to the drama.

Wondering why this drama gets the ML as realistic as possible to a man where most Cdrama ML come across as fake men?!

Best thing about this drama was the psycho girl.

Can some Kdrama producer make a full drama based on her character please.

Great first 12 episodes,
last 4 episodes felt rushed, incoherent and confusing. They tried to pack too many things and that clearly affected these episodes.

ML and the bad guy carried the show.
FL needs to go back to acting school. Watching her was cringy.

Yes, happy ending. Probably should have had an episode extra to make it better.
The characters are likable, probably what sold the drama for me.

Fair enough.

To be honest, I dropped both of them early.
It's not the story, its characters, I really had a hard time caring about them. They felt as if I have seen them in every other Xianxia.

L&D and ALP remain my top choices.
AOL is a tire below, may be because it was one of the earlier ones I watched and it felt awesome.
I loved Eternal Love on my first watch but on my second watch, it felt boring and could not remember why I liked it in first place.

I liked Dylan's portrayal in second part to the one in first.

Ever night 2 was better on re-watch.

Now a days I take a bit of time to start a Cdrama unlike Kdramas.
the sheer number of episodes and the time we need to invest in Cdramas is way too high.
Did not even start Galaxy, the story line was enough to tell how the characters will be and what their journey would be.
Did start Samsara and dropped it just like this one after few episodes, the main drama set up felt repetitive.

Huge fan of Dylan Wang. Watched him in Ever Night. Absolutely loved his character and how Dylan portrayed it in that drama. His whole presence screamed I love this girl and I will go to any lengths to protect her.
Even in this one, if not Dylan would have dropped it sooner.

What is CLJ though?

Sure, butdon't force yourself to reply to my rants though.
do some meditation if you can't control the impulse to reply, that might help/

You just described ML, FL and 2ML in most Xianxia dramas with minor variations. When was the last Xianxia drama where the ML is not a cold person?

I get that this set up trope sells in these dramas. The producers want their money back and they will definitely make what sells.

My opinion still stands though.

what has that got to do with viewers sharing their opinion?
I understand the Cdrama makers will never change their tried and tested ML, FL and 2ML set up in these dramas ever. It looks to be what the majority audiences want and they seem to be giving them exactly that.
but still, that has nothing to do with anyone wanting to share their opinion on any drama in a forum.

It's not prejudice, it's my opinion after watching few episodes.

It is possible the story is exceptional.
My not continuing this drama has little to do with the story but finding the 3 main characters repetitive and boring.

No, not watching any drama when i can't invest in the main characters.
Agree on people having different tastes and interests. If you read my first post, you would find me saying that people who like this set up of main characters will love this drama.

I liked the first half of your post but the last part.....this being a place to discuss dramas and you wanting me to not comment........
grow up please

It's the characters that are unimpressive.

Have moved on to another drama.

It was not boring though but the whole basic premise of the ML, FL and 2ML will definitely be dragged to the end , like any other Xianxia drama.
At that point, drama being boring or not is the issue.
It is pretty much not offering any different characters to the viewers.

The 3 central characters are pretty much the same ones we see in each and every Xianxia, barring no exception.
the cold ML
the FL
the 2ML who the FL is in love with/who loves the FL

That's it. Thats every Xianxia there.

Tried to get into this drama but could not get past first 10 episodes.

It is the same tale of almost every Cdrama in this genre of a girl and multiple men in love with her.
Immortal Samsara, has the similar basic set up and so does almost every Cdrama released in last year in Xianxia genre.

For those who like the harm set up, they will love this drama but this offers nothing new in terms of characters or the base set up.
It is pretty much same shit in different drama. The same characters....cold ML, kind and mysterious FL & the other guys who the FL loves or they love her.

Some one please wake me up when the writers and directors decide to make a drama with interesting characters rather than the same boring ML, FL, 2ML etc etc that we see in every drama.

pretty much sounds like a story you see in porn videos.

She is my fav character of the drama by a long shot.

that female assassin is such fun to watch.
She should get a main role in a drama for sure.

ok..

yuck

but ok.

2 brothers romancing the FL is pretty much Cdrama standard & it is getting prettty boring.

they should increase the brothers count to make it more juicy.
In fact to make it more edgy they should make the ML father and uncle also romancing the FL.
