Never have I ever seen deeper care among friends on screen!

Throughout a consequent and touching drama. There were a few things I've never seen in c-dramas until now. That is emotional comfort in a physical way. Yes, parents or grandparents sometimes comfort their children by hugging, but I haven't that much among friends. Wen Xiao (FL) and Officer Pei (second FL) shared really intimate monents, holding eachothers hands or cuddling, just as you would do irl with your friends too. I loved the children, like Bai Jiu and Ying Lei are so adorable, I cant bear it. I also love that Officer Zhou has more than a rival relationship with Zhao Yuanzhou, these two plus Wen Xiao have such a funny dynamic, like everyone's flirting with everyone? (Pretty sure some of the interactions were ad-lib) Another thing I loved, is the fact that Officer Pei never felt in love with anyone, but she did have her own people to care about and felt like a rightfully done empowered woman, making her emphathetic and strong.
(Only downside I have is that they cried a record amount of tears, but even though that makes it a bit draining to bingewatch, but it certainly makes us feel that their life and emotions are real for them)
I think the acting that stood out for me the most is Bai Jiu's, his actor is now only 13 years old, but he played all these emotions and different sides to his character very well (+an obsession arc).
Oh and I love Yinglei's character as well, his humour and playfullness and his love for Bai Jiu.
I really enjoyed that there were no misunderstandings, no solo-mission like trust me bro, but they always tried to solve it all within a group.
Actually in the end I have come to terms with the not so strong FL, because even though she has a lot of spiritual power, she is described as a person of weak physique. Although physical power isnt her strongest point, but she knows a lot about demons, does it help her to protect? No. It helps her to be more forgiving and open-minded, it'd be overpowering to put all the virtues into her. And like this their group of six still has four strong fighters. (I think I gonna agree that this drama reads as Danmei (BL) and Baihe (GL).)
Anyway go watch, but prepare some tissues.
