First of all, it was different from any other Chinese drama ive watched so far. It was kind of Hollywood way, great photography, no fake CGIs, great montage, minimal clothing, hair and scenery, but yet impressive!
As for the male lead, Chen Kun he rocked! I mean, he gave the character its full lenght, and even more! Charming, expressive, handsome in every way. He is also very interesting as a person as ive seen in some interviews.
I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to see quality drama and i ll definitely rewatch!

This drama is the one time you should trust bad reviews. HANG IT UP FLAT SCREEN!
I have been watching dramas for years but this is my first ever review on this site I’m sorry I had to drop at ep 20. The drama was getting a bit too ridiculous for me. I think the cast was really good all the actors you can tell were seasoned and took their jobs seriously. However, in the end the nonsensical ass script made a mockery of that talent. Also for all the ppl swooning and crying over the ML and FL chemistry and connection are delusional. There was nothing there to root for and I’m sorry I think the two were toxic for one another more so the ML to FL. To me she did not grow at all in 20 eps even though she lost ppl and went through trials and tribulations, so what of the remaining 50 I couldn’t put myself through that. They couldn’t decide if they wanted her to be outstanding and badass or an idiot who is brash and always falls into others traps. It made me sad bc I feel like she really wasn’t the focus here and was just a prop as women usually are. They decorated her with some fighting skills and wisdom to bait us and then gave us a huge F U as the series went on. ALSO I didn’t get the deal with the ML maybe I’m slow but he seemed mentally unstable and y’all was shipping her with him ????Also everyone cries the whole drama about fighting for the ppl saving the innocent but they kill ppl off likes flies in this thing and most time for no reason or as a plot device to push the story and it’s weird. Like if you can’t propel your story w/o killing ppl every damn 5 eps what’s the point?
Music was okay….Maybe bc I didn’t get far enough so there may have been a change in OST but the ones I heard were a bit uninspired. I love Chinese dramas for their OST bc they really show out and are usually stylistically creative but this one lacked character.
I’ve seen spoiler comments and ppl are saying don’t watch last 5 mins otherwise everything else is good. No they are lying bc last 5 is very representative of the shitshow this drama was and to me it made sense. It was just so very boring I was zoning out. I may seem like a hater but I actually was quite excited for this but here’s just another example of an overhyped netflix dramalist pick. Ratings should be much lower. Good day and good luck.

PSA on the Dangers of Method Acting
The plot of this show seems complex and intriguing. I love dramas with politics, intrigue, and schemes galore. But this drama showed me I have a firm line on crazy. ***SPOILER**** I get acting like you've lost it when playing the long game. hell yeah. do you scheme it up. but my dude - it's too far. THOSE CRAZY EYES HAUNT ME. He didn't just dip his toe in crazy he did a full belly flop in the deep end of lunatic. There's absolutely no subltety or nuance to the performance. Just absolutely insane, creepy eyes. His unhinged acting takes me out of the story. I'm so distracted from the overacting I can't enjoy or focus on anything else than his one-dimensional portrayal. It's painful to watch.I don't know if this was method acting gone wrong (the actor or the character) but fam this is not it.

História desnecessariamente longa, que a torna maçante e as vezes sem nexo, pq ela é focada muito no lado político e em conspirações pelo poder. Atuação do atores é muito boa, o ator principal da show. ---------------- Alerta de Spoiler --------------

Final sem graça e infeliz. Não recomendo, não vale a pena o tempo perdido para ver estes 70 episódios, se ele fosse resumido, todo enredo caberia em 10 eps ou menos (copiando o estilo japonês de quantidade de episódios/drama), pelo menos a trama teria mais ritmo, seria empolgante, e com certeza seria menos cansativo e sem o efeito sonífero.

Me gusto que fuera un drama con casi nula fantasía ( inmortales , poderes , etc) ya que lo único fuera de la realidad era el vinculo padre - hijo .
El elenco muy bien elegido , los actores principales tenían mucha química y al no ser un drama de romance esta química hacia creíble la relación entre estos 2 .Es decir si estas buscando escenas románticas este no es tu drama .
La música ambiental esta justo para cada escena , pero a mi que me gustan los OST me falto una con letra llamativa para recordar el drama .

El final no es el mejor de el mundo pero bueno masomenos es lo que se espera ya en determinado momento del drama.
Pd: ame la sonrisa de la protagonista, es hermosa , una excelente actuación de su parte igualmente del protagonista masculino, una excelente actuación.

I expected a lot but i'm so disappointed
I finished watching the first 8 episodes. Still I can't really love this drama as much as the previous 5 cdramas i watched before. I cant get excited each episodes unlike other cdramas i have watched. The episodes are full of conversations. Like the fighting is once in a blue moon. I think I may stop watching at episode 8. I downloaded the eps via netflix up to episode 10. It is such a waste to delete the remaining episodes. But i really expected a lot from it, since i have seen lot of good reviews here on mydramalist and comments on youtube but I just don't like the plot. I also read, this drama has lot of restrictions from the government? Such a waste.Was this review helpful to you?
