I read many comments saying this is boring or there're too many stupid characters, but honestly I'm enjoying this a lot; I watch this at night after coming back from work and I'm so tired to watch anything too complicated, I think it's a simple and good drama to watch if you want to relax, take it easy and have a good laugh.
I started watching this just because of the director, Guo Jing Ming, and as I thought this is a feast for the eyes, I'm so pleased. <3 If you want to have an idea of his style, please do yourself a favor and go to watch Wuliang, a (bromance) masterpiece, it's a short movie but the director was able to showcase his stunning cinematography style, (and you will note some similarities, like the headbandes, the gloves, the gothic color palette, the snow scenes, the close-up shot of the faces, & some same actors). Probably my favorite Chinese Director right now, I hope he get many chances (and the budget) to showcase more of his aesthetically pleasing cinematography.
An amazing drama, I binge-watched it in one day, it was so gripping, dark and intense, I couldn't stop to watch…
I want to add, I see the ending on a positive note; Mo Mi's daughter, Mi Mo, said she no longer feel hate towards people as before, and when she watches her Mom's video where she was a little kid full of hope, she smiles, I believe she will try to live her life as a person that is loved by as many people as possible, something her Mother couldn't have. And this is where I bawled my eyes out.
An amazing drama, I binge-watched it in one day, it was so gripping, dark and intense, I couldn't stop to watch it, waiting to see what happened next. At the end I was in a turmoil, that's how you know as great a story is. Seeing all the events happening in Mo Mi's life and around her, every choice made by every character leading to different consequences, it was a true roller-coaster of emotions. The world isn't a fair place, and this show is a raw reminder; If you can't accept it, then don't watch this drama, is that simple. 10 stars from me.
The ratings on this show baffles me, people who can't stand adult themes and stories that shows a dark reality should refrain from giving low ratings and writing bad reviews.
I like the open ending, and I interpret it in 3 ways: 1) Li Lian Hua is living secretly somwhere, spending his last days of life peacefully alone, cultivating vegetables and drinking tea. 2) Li Lian Hua is dead, what Fang Duo Bing, Di Fei Sheng and Fox Spirit saw at the beach was just an illusion of their minds, or his spirit, because his body was taken away by the sea, this time for real. 3) Li Lian Hua is still alive and he really went to East Sea to meet Di Fei Sheng, Fang Duo Bing and Fox Spirit, so when we see the beach empty is because they've reunited again and they will embark together on new adventures until the day LLH dies. Honestly, I'm ok with all the 3 possibilities.
Finished this today, I'm gonna miss this drama and our trio a lot. T___T I loved every single moments where LLH, FDB and DFS were together, I enjoyed their adventures and how they resolved all the cases along the way to the big finale. A great wuxia story. For me, Fang Duo Bing and Li Lian Hua are soulmates. <3 I even appreciated how all of the characters, males and females, didn't end up with anyone at the end of the series, a breath of fresh air from the usual forced romance for a drama ending.
I need of more dramas like this in the future. A solid 10 stars from me. <3
I laughed, I cried, I laughed again and I cried again. My favorite scene in the whole movie is when Mao Bang and Wu Ming are sitting near the river with the dog and there's a rainbow in the sky, it was so meaningful and touching. <3 bonus: the pole dance scene was too funny! 😂
I'm the only one surprised they left things like: -FDB's aunt in truth married a woman -JLQ called DFS her wife 👀 I thought with censorship it would be difficult but I'm pleasantly surpised, I'm not complaining at all~

ep 34: I loved all the actions scenes and I loved Li Xiang Yi lonely drinking sword dance, so poignant.
Cheng Yi is a phenomenal actor, I have become his fan thanks to this drama. <3
-FDB's aunt in truth married a woman
-JLQ called DFS her wife 👀
