An Okay Watch

To be honest.. I really did not like the way the drama turned .. While the starting few episodes were really good but then there were lot amount of plot-holes in the story.. Kim bum acting really stood out in the drama and Lee dong wook too but other than that.. It was just one time watch , The chemistry between the leads really did not contribute, the longing love between them could not be felt anywhere.. The plot twists were the main reason making this drama somewhat better, The villain was strong, All side characters acting were notable. But other than this do not expect anything else. Anyways, It's just a one time watch

Could've been better !! Would not recommend

I got this as a recommendation from my last post on Reddit. Honestly, I loved the first 20 episodes. We have strong fl for the 1st time and who is rich at the same time. Then calm, hot ml who is caring at the same time. Their chemistry was amazing. Both the lead actors acting was really appreciable. But...
First, there was that irritating second lead, but it did not matter to me much like he was okay. Then the childhood meet up which was also ok. But then all of sudden she leaves him for him to follow his dreams like WTF was that. And then the son grows without ml... Excuse me why writers you made it like this... Breaking up is not a solution to all problems. It's more than sitting together and resolving it. I lost my complete interest in it. And also so much screen space for second leads made me skip all the parts of it...Instead you can watch drama like.
Put your head on my shoulder or Love is Sweet.

WATCH IT PLEASE !!!

After The Untamed I barely liked any other historical drama, as it never lived up to my expectations but this one was a Masterpiece. If you're looking for wuxia, this one for you.

Plot and story - Honestly, very well written and crafted plot. It was amazing, there were twists and turns at every point of the story. You would never know who is good and evil. You get surprised at each and every episode. The cliffhangers are mindblowing, I loved it.

Characters and acting - Hats off to writers for writing characters with good development as the plot progressed. Like there are many characters but each one of them will be remembered by you. You get attached to them, But you never know who turns out to be what. Xiao Zhan comes later but he blew my mind with his acting and omg the ending twist, he nailed it. Each and every actor were placed perfectly for their role. I loved the lead, mostly the whole cast impressed me a lot. The lead was adorable not too stiff but witty and funny also enjoyable, He carried the whole drama in his hands.

Pace and Other: Fast-paced but maintained its story. Not lengthy conversation neither too much of backstory. It's like a mystery box that is to open gradually. The romance was the cutest part I loved the lead conversation, Like no shit love triangle and all. I was happy how they trusted and supported each other. It has modern-day essence in it too, so was interesting to watch from that aspect.
I am glad I watched it, it was worth each minute. This is not ending but beginning. It has a second season. More mysteries to be revealed, unanswered questions, characters turning point, Problems to be solved. It's a long journey to finally decide who's gonna win the game. I'm excited a lot. It would've been good if they made Legend of fei like this, instead it became a mess. This is what a wuxia drama is. I knew Xiao Zhan would not disappoint me (I loved wolf too). Anyway, let's be patient in this waiting game.

100% Worth watching !!!

I am not an avid fan of historical drama but this one hooked up till the end like I finished it in 3 days.
Plot : I have to tell one of most cleverly written plot. Like the events change in every episode. The characters are unpredictable like you would never know what's gonna happen next. The Love triangle here was actually fun to watch.

Acting: Rosy Zhao and Ryan Ding have captured my heart. Not only that the entire cast was amazing in their roles. Truly, you will completely get attached with them. They are the main elements of this drama.

Other than that the drama is fast paced like it did not even bore me for a sec. Thankfully the conversation are not lengthier, not much of backstory, Amazing romance between leads. I hope we get to see dramas like this in future.
I assure you, this will steal your hearts for sure !!!

An Overall fun watch

A Chinese crime detective drama is a rare find, but this one proves to be a highly enjoyable watch. If you're a fan of Agatha Christie novels or thrillers with a single murder and multiple suspects, this series will likely captivate you.

The Good:
- Exceptional cinematography and perfect lighting: Among the Chinese dramas I've seen, this one stands out for its well-shot scenes and meticulous attention to set design, real-life locations, and costumes.
- Unique storytelling: It's uncommon in Chinese dramaland to encounter a series that addresses multiple intricate social issues, offering a refreshing perspective.
- Well-developed characters: Each character is thoughtfully written, displaying depth and undergoing significant development over time. They are all intriguing with multiple dimensions to their personalities.
- Engaging story and pacing: The drama maintains a suitable pace, ensuring that the plot unfolds seamlessly. The unique storytelling sets it apart, providing a fresh and distinctive experience.
- Strong acting: Angelababy delivers a surprisingly strong performance, embodying her character perfectly. The entire cast contributes to the wonderful performances throughout.

The Underwhelming:
- Plot holes towards the end: The drama suffers from some plot holes, potentially due to restrictions in Chinese dramas. The final showdown climax falls a bit short of expectations.

Despite these shortcomings, the overall experience is thrilling and enjoyable until the very last moment. As a thriller enthusiast, even I found it challenging to anticipate the plot twists and mysteries. It felt like I was on a journey with the detectives, unraveling the story alongside them.

Average Wuxia Drama !! (minor spoilers)

Let me give you an honest review, It all started off nicely for the first 7-8 episodes for me, we are got to see and know some characters, some stories, and full packed action. Next 15 episodes went straight downhill, I skipped most parts we get to see so many characters come and go for no reason. It's so confusing to remember who is who, their names. Like not even a single person stays in your mind. For every character, there is a back story that goes like a long history lesson..And these episodes more than leads the story shifts to side characters. Then next 10(up to 27)episodes were good, the leads developed feelings towards each other, the story was beautiful..but then after ep 42 I again dropped interest, skipped the most, and finally convinced myself to finish it for ZLY and WY as I like both of them. I would not recommend you to watch this...Only you can watch if you're a fan of leads

Loved it !!!!!!!

Song Joong Ki is back with a blast movie of all time. I love watching sci-fiction movies and had huge expectations from this and it did not let me down. The Cinematography, CGI, action scenes, and bgm music everything was on point. The acting was extraordinary especially Kim Tae Ri and the child actor both were daebak. The plot was good not the best but kept me hooked up till the end. Some moments in the second half gave me goosebumps and brought me to the edge of my seat. It made me laugh, cry, and felt a bonding with all the characters. The gradual character development of each and glimpse of what they were made us attached more to the movie. SJK as usual stole the show for me. Final thought you can without thinking go for this. It's thrilling and interesting not extraordinary but amazing.
