It's good you know and acknowledge your obvious lack of objectivity based on irrelevant and lingering feelings of the actress in another work. Not many people are that shameless.

I've come to the conclusion that CY's character well end up either dead or alone. I think this well end up like Stand by Me.

Anyone not liking Chen Du Ling's character because of her role in Till The End of the Moon get over yourself and keep that silly and stupid reason out of the discussion. She managed to pissed off a lot of people in that drama including me but to carry that feeling into this drama and her character is a disservice and an insult to her performance here.

This is my exact feeling. I love this genre so I may be bias but this is not unwatchable and if you are a fan of cultivation dramas then this one is more than adequate. The productions value isn't great and the story could have been better but for me this is engaging and not boring at all.

I'd have given this a higher score if the FL didn't suddenly became a crazy, high strung and hateful character towards the end. I really did like her for the most part but her character transformation was not welcome in my view. These opera like mad scenes are not my liking or my taste. Since I did like this show for the most part I'd give this a solid 8.0 but it will never rise more than that after watching this arc.

I'm kinda shock at how campy and contrived this looks from what I imagined. The first episode alone was a hot mess with a ridiculous story about pirates and their leader who is the FL and her scheme to infiltrate the palace by forcibly marrying ML. The writers were too bright for their own good.

I always watch these kinds of cultivation dramas unless the rating and consensus is it's unwatchable like Chongzi. I'm actually enjoying this very much and I've catched up with the latest episodes except the ending. Hopefully that insolent and annoying tw*t Ji Rong gets a really nasty ending.

Finally my gal WZX gets a role again. Thank you to whoever cast her. I really need to see more dramas showcasing her beauty.

No this is wrong. The lead ML here is the same as in the book. It's her cousin.

So many A list actors releasing dramas at once. July seems to be a busy month for Chinese dramas.

You obviously don't have much eye for expensive fashion. Actually those are real luxury branded items. Her entire ensemble is more than 3k USD. Are you suggesting this is normal for working class people? There's no need to try and hide the obvious. Intelligent and knowledgeable people could tell straight away.

Not that I'm complaining too much but it's funny seeing Cheon Sa Rang wearing some really expensive luxury outfits even though she self-deprecates and claims poverty all the time to the ML. The one she was wearing to meet the ginseng hunter is the most conspicuous and ridiculous.

I actually thought in the early episodes his half sister was his stepmom or something. She looked and acted that way.

I've just realized something, I haven't seen the obligatory shower scene yet.

It's incredibly frustrating watching this and I'd personally kill 75% of the characters here including the 2nd FL and 2nd ML plus the entire righteous sect leaders because they are all useless.

The righteous sects are all talk and not much in the way of results.

The obsessive and petty Xiao Zhan fans in this page are beyond psychotic. Everyone has a right to voice rheir opinions and their dislikes on this drama. The ones who are camping here wanting everyone to have a cheery and flowery opinions on this series are the ones who are dragging this thread down. If you can't take criticisms don't bother coming here as this thread is for discussion of this show.

If she was indeed a good actress then why do you think a lot of people seem to have a problem with her performance here. Obviously she is lacking the charisma or the performance skill to elevate this performance and hide her plainness.

Yes Gulinazha is not a good actress but why do you think she keeps getting cast and getting good ratings for her dramas. I think we all know the reason and Ren Min is no match on this department.

It would be fine if she was a good actress and importantly a charismatic performer but for me she fits neither criteria. I'll watch this drama for Alen Fang and Xiao Zhan.

After watching Bai Lu, Zhou Ye, and Gulinazha dramas back to back I feel this FL looks rather underwhelming to say the least.
