I really love Wen Mo Yan. The ML is nice too. I just wish the production team would spend a bit more time on the storyline and character development. It would elevate the drama.

I love this actress.

Wait til you get to ep 9 and a badly wounded Luo insists on climbing flights of stairs when Tuo could be carrying her. Details like that just aren't logical. You just don't let someone who is bleeding out be upright let alone climb stairs.

I think the directing could be better. There are too many scenes that are needlessly draggy. For example, when Luo is tailing the fiends in episode 9. It went on too long without purpose - there was no buildup of tension - just seemed like time filler. Then after being wounded, she slowly climbs up a staircase when the ML should have been racing up the staircase carrying her. This type of genre needs a high level of suspense, emotion and energy. I'm watching cause I love the leads but its a little lacklustre.

Thank you so much!! I hope it will be good.

I hope so too. I love Wen Mo Yan.

Finished episode 6 and so far I'm invested in the story. It's fast paced with lots of layered characters to give the story more meat.

I totally agree with you about ML. He was so incredible in WOH. And yet everything I've seen him in since, he's been very flat. But then I would say that for the entire cast of WOH. It seems they really had the freedom to act and invest in their characters and show the complexity of their character's personality. I feel in the last few years, there's been a real dampening down of the spirit in Cdramas.

The wig for the FL is not flattering. Why didn't they give her a better styling?

Agree his styling in this drama was the best I've seen. He's needs the side fringe.

Everybody, check out The Rebirth. It's got a strong FL, sexy ML, revenge plot, great visuals, interesting plot.

This is really good.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks there is a disconnect with the character of the FL? She lived as a man for 7 years, was a warrior in battles and then when she starts to live as a woman, her character is so girlie and I think clownish. I get that she acts that way around the ML, but even outside of that, her personality doesn’t reflect someone who’s had such a complex past or lived through such a drastic contrast in realities. There’s a lack of depth that makes her character very flat.

There is more to the story which you'll find out it the next episode or two.

Exactly. I was expecting a reunion scene after she had thought the ML had died. So disappointing.

I wanted a happy ending but the way they did it was so lame. What was the purpose of all those flash backs in the final episode? It wasted precious time when they could have been adding more flesh to the story. I really don't know what is wrong with Chinese productions teams that they seem almost universally incapable of writing a meaningful ending. The editing in the last few episodes was not good either. Is it because of the censors? The death of Chang Yi was so rushed. I didn't even know why it happened? Lately I have lost faith in the point if watching cdramas.

I loved this drama - great acting, plot, set design - but like with so many cdramas the final episode fell flat. It just did not have the energy or originality of the previous episodes.

Yes they were so cute together.

Secret of the Shadow Sect
The Only Girl You Haven't Seen - stars my favorite mini drama actress Wen Mo Yan

I think it showed how much FL was willing to sacrifice but also every time he came through for her helped to establish the trust between them.
