thank you!!

im pretty sure this page said there was going to be 40 episodes just a few days ago. what happened?

i dont yet know exactly what you mean cos i just started ep1, but im legit just watching because i saw shots of the female lead in this role. im curious now, this comment intrigued me.

why is this so low rated? im just starting it.

omg, hua yong is getting too cruel omg this is so messed up im on the brink of not being able to root for them because the deception is too villainous.

im glad to get some relief from that this ep

finally a drama that has cast its leads very well! after Shadow Love and Love of the Devine Tree i was wondering if my standards were too high for “badass leader female leads” since both of those dramas have actresses who fell short of their roles slightly. but this FL proves you can have “gravitas” and be gentle if the actress is good enough!

update: ok im reallllly enjoying it now. i still think the actress lacks the range to provide gravitas to her Grandmaster Mu self, but as Ranran shes very good. I think it says alot that this story managed to win over someone like me, who was very underwhelmed after the first 3 eps.

finally enjoying it after 2 failed attempts. the FL is cool, but i maintain the actress falls short of the role. i think her casting made this character have no “gravitas”, or i should say not enough. the role is written to require a good amount of it and you can sense the lack even as most other things are very enjoyable.so im finally liking it, im even liking her, AND im glad i figured out why it didnt feel right for a long time.

yeah dont worry about it thankfully ep 3 solved it all for me 👍🏻

what a relief I appreciate this, thank you!!

so not yet in the first 6 episodes that are out so far?

i didnt mean romantic acts, but they do have “romanic” as in “budding feelings” moments. like with the umbrella. obviously its just for him and she barely notices which is good but i still struggle with it.

honestly just got to that part and its ridiculous. YOU DONT USE A BOW FOR CLOSE RANGE FIGHTING, omg so basic.

when will he stop being a kid at all? im at ep 2 and its a real struggle to watch a child have romanic scenes with the fl 🫠

im 7 episodes in and underwhelmed. its beautiful, expensive and well cast, but other than that i cant say much else. ill stick with it cos everyone here is so excited about it and much can improve in coming episodes!

thats not how she comes across for someone who hasn’t read the books, but i think i know what you mean. its probably an enhanced effect when comparing it to the book’s characterization

i appreciate this, thank you! im not entirely giving up on it yet, just placing it on hold.

my issue isnt with the character but with the actress’s ability to act. however, i think i can overlook weak acting if the story is so beloved. im at the very least very curious to find out why ✨☺️

it seems its recommended everywhere i turn, i cant escape it. i thought there must be something special past episode 2 but your experience pretty much sealed the deal for me. im putting it on hold for now. thank you!

i need someone to reassure me i should watch this drama! 🙏🏻
watched 2 eps and am underwhelmed with the acting of the FL. ive watched “the legends” with Bai Lu and the plot seems quite similar and this series seems to pale in comparison when it comes to the acting of female lead.

am i wrong? should i trust and keep watching?

different! And the main female lead can actually keep up with the acting her role requires.
