Although not really blown away, I understand the hype

First of all, I want to say thank you to the one brave and open-minded employee in the Chinese Censorship Authority who greenlighted this drama! Knowing about the censorship process tv shows must go through in China I expected to watch as show about two very good and close friends but surprisingly the undertones of the relationship are there, without the hug and the kisses of course. I mean at some point I think someone mentions an inappropriate or intimate relationship between the two (or something along those lines)

Now as far as critically acclaimed and hyped-up dramas go, this kind of lived up to the hype. I also really like the ending credits song.

I would say that 50 episodes did not feel long, and the story had a good pace, but the story was at some points confusing and the fact that there are so many characters with at least 3 name each did not help! Sometimes I found myself lost and not paying attention. Although there were some amazing parts, the show just failed to completely draw me in and make me completely invested to the characters.

Wen Ning my good, zombie -ghost-possessed little soldier was by far my favourite character and the only one I really cared for getting a happy ending!

As far as the acting goes the two main leads along with a couple of other cast members, did a great job although it took a while for me to feel and see their chemistry (maybe around episode 14).

All in all this is a good show and I get my is loved and considered a must watch by many.
