This drama is also called "The Golden Hairpin", and there is a upcoming chinese drama with the same name and similar storyline... So, are they based in the same nivel or something like that?
I've checked out both this and Chuang 2021 and, as far as I'm concerned, Tencent is winning this time... And I actually was kinda biased towards this one. I just find the overall vibe there kinda weird, feels very BL-ish (not my thing)
My brain can suspend desbelief for almost everything they throw in this series - zombies, super bugs, ancient kingdoms with miraculous technology? No problem. But they just need to bring out those human skin masks, it will scream: Stop right there! Now you are going too far!!
That episode 40 was so bad I am really mad right now... They even BLURRED the face of the body double in one fight scene! And that terrible editing?? Not even the main couple is saving this anymore...
I just don't buy the main couple relationship... He became completely obsessed out of nowhere and she is kinda busy with other stuff... It is unbalanced and unhealthy. I am around ep 20 and this is really bothering me...
To this point, this drama has been a pleasure to watch... I'm watching it at the same time as another wuxia drama - a famous one with really big names - and the gap in production quality is shocking. This is like a common dish made with the highest quality ingredients by a great chef - not something new, but so good you enjoy every bite.
Edit: What is up with the voices in this drama? Sometimes it seems to be heavily dubbed and sometimes it sounds like it's their real voices...
Anyone else was annoyed by the english subs? I guess they were trying to make it easy for everyone to understand, but they changed too much... Most of the lines were completely different from what was said, and I think some were actually mistranslated (My korean isn't great, but I noticed it).
I am enjoying the show, but for a wuxia drama, those battle/ fight scenes are embarassing! I am not a big wuxia watcher and am cringing at this, I don't know how the fans of the genre are taking it...
I do like historical dramas - as long as they have a healthy level of angst - but for some reason I can't really get into korean HDs, and usually stick with fusion sageuks.I enjoy chinese costume dramas a lot though. I wonder about the reason for that...
This drama was adorable and funny, but the intense parts are the most awkward I've seen in a drama of this type ??. I know it is supposed to be tense, but it is not working... People keep talking when they are suppose to try and kill each other ?
I read the novel sinopsis and it gives me the same feel as Remembering Lichuan and All Out of Love... Also, except for the characters names, it is completely different from the one here. Is this supposed to be an angsty melodrama (ugh...) or a romance mystery?
I love the entire drama but the last episode was by far my favorite... I can't believe I almost didn't watch this because of the comments about the ending! The conclusion is perfect and even the trope was well done.
Faith was my first drama and one of the few I re-watch. Love it flaws and all. I especially like how the writer…
Dalja's Spring! I watched it around 2014 and it was already considered an oldie then... I really liked it, though, it has that feeling we don't find in newer dramas :-)

I tried to read it with google translate though, and it was not bad.
