I’m honestly surprised by how good this is! I’m only on episode 7, but the quality has been incredible so far. The world feels so vivid and believable, from the settings to the slow, detailed worldbuilding. I love it!

Oh, in the novel Chunji is Xue Xianzi's disciple? I started reading and I love how many things are different, it'll be fun to read and compare.

No 😆

Ah, okay. Thank you!

Could someone clarify the episode release schedule? The last six episodes on kisskh have unusable subtitles, WeTV and iQIYI are unavailable in my region for this specific drama 😭, and Viki only offers up to episode 34. When will episode 35 and beyond be accessible?

I couldn't stand her either. Literally lowered my rating because of her character 😫

They use the same posters that Chinese streaming sites use, so a lot of them end up being those bland, uninspired ensemble-cast posters. I hate it 😭

Still one of my favorite dramas of 2025. I haven't been obsessed with anything since this finished airing.

I ALMOST MISSED THAT LAST SCENE 🫨

Oh, that was kinda bittersweet, but I really liked it.

There were no boring intro episodes so it grabbed my attention from the start and every character was interesting and had their own flavor. The brotherhood between the MLs was just beautiful, that undying loyalty was my favourite thing.

The colors, the music, the fight scenes, the costumes… everything was so satisfying. And I’ve gotta give it to GJ, that crying scene in the final episode really tugged at my heartstrings.

It’s hard to see these characters as the same ones from TBOY, knowing what eventually happens between them, but honestly that just adds to the bittersweet vibe. I think I’ll just separate the two stories in my mind tho. My assassin pookies deserve a happy ending.

I just have a lot of free time, currently.
But it's true, when I lock in, I lock in. 🤣

I was watching another drama, got annoyed waiting for new episodes, and decided to watch this one in the meantime while the other one piles up more episodes .... but it’s only been a day since I committed to BR and I’m already on episode 28. LOL.

I can't help it though, it's so good! GJ and CHS are such a great duo, and CHS's character is so charming.

Words can’t even begin to describe how much I hate this ‘new’ poster policy on MDL. Every single change was somehow for the worse, and this one is a peak example.

Well, that’s fair. I’m not criticizing your rating, I just want to say I have nothing against this drama and no reason to sabotage it in any way. I was talking about which parts of the story I found interesting and which not.

I cannot believe I opened this spoiler. 😭😭😭🤣

I don' hate any of them, just find their stories (so far) boring.

And what even is this comment? "Not going my way" and "sabotaging"? My rating is higher than yours, I have no desire to sabotage anything related to this drama.

Who is Gui Mudan? 😅

He's so good as young A-Li! The difference in his acting is *cheff's kiss*

I guess I should watch his older dramas too, but I just have no time for everything 😭

I actually enjoy the Zhou Di Lou flashbacks the most! 😭

Everything related to the Zhong girl just feels painfully boring to me, and the whole group bonding stuff is kinda “whatever.” And Master Puzhu turned out to be such an idiot, he’s just annoying me now. 🤣

Still, the overall story is still interesting and I’m looking forward to seeing where they’re going with it.

Honestly, I’m mainly invested in Tang Lici’s past, the Yique Yinyang arc, and Tang Lici's relationship with LY. I wish I cared about the supporting characters, but I just don’t.

That said, the instrument playing scenes are absolutely badass, and LYX acting is phenomenal! I love how subtle yet unmistakeable his portrayal of emotions is.

Yeah, it can be really confusing. Sometimes I just went with the flow and waited for everything to sort itself out before trying to understand and follow, especially in the last few episodes. 😆
