Reviews

So far it's been very interesting. Seeing some reviews, I am a bit confused as everyone's comparing it to the Japanese show, which I expected but in my opinion does not really work. After all, this is the adaptation of the manga not the show! Their own interpretation will show and that's what makes the beauty of it. So far I can see the Thai touch in this adaptation and the actors have been doing great. I am looking forward to the rest and can't wait to see all the volumes get adapted, this is definitely going to be a good ride. Don't even need to talk about their chemistry bc it is out of charts. I am already attached to the characters can't wait to see more of it.

The songs are amazing by the way, I am happy they are letting both Gemini's and Fourth's vocals shine.

The only thing that could be fixed is the sound in some parts but I can look over it because of how nice the story is unfolding so far!

Crime Investigation in historical setting is not my cup of tea. It was so boring and too slow.

The Imperial Coroner is a crime investigation drama in a historical setting. I listened to AvenueX's raved review about it, and I like the lead actor Wang Zi Qi, so I checked it out. I watched 6 episodes of it and found it freaking boring. Chinese crime drama, in general, is quite dull, and to have it done in historical drama and dragged to 36 episodes is a bit much.

I found it dull for modern-day crime drama to be dragged to 24 episodes, let alone a historical one. I was unengaged, and I should have known that AvenueX recommendations are usually not to my liking.

The on-screen chemistry between Wang Zi Qi and Su Xiao Tong is not as good as his on-screen chemistry with Wang Yu Wen. I love Wangs in Once We Get Married and currently streaming The Love You Give Me.

I am dropping this drama and would not recommend it if you are not into crime investigation in a historical setting.

I am giving a 5.0 because of the boring script.

I decided to watch this drama "just because". Man, after watching episodes 1–4, I AM BLOWN AWAY. The pacing is great, the plot is superb, and the chemistry of the characters is top-tier. The female lead is very interesting, to the point that her actions are almost as powerful as they can be. The male lead is fine; his whole set of attributes scream empathy, and it's really nice to see how opposite they are to each other. Everything about this drama is perfection to the core! I can't wait to watch the next episodes and see how this story unfolds. If you're hesitating to watch, don't be. This drama is worth your time. No cap.

After watching just the first episode, the first thing I do was to come here and read reviews about the love-line. Lots of people dropped the drama cause of the love-line. I seriously prefer no love line than having Lu Yao and Bai Youning together, cutting out the BL scenes doesn't mean you must still have a love-line to attract viewers. I actually was looking forward to the drama entirely just for my interest in watching detective/solving genre shows. Luckily I came here first to get my heart prepared.

Btw, I really like the opening song. That rapper is good.

Okay I'm on the second episode, soon, I won't be able to take this woman anymore... Any kindhearted person who can edit out all the scenes with that woman and let me watch peacefully.

It is just another xianxia. All is predictable from episode 1.

Good versus evil? Check. Of course. Simple good versus evil. Just some people want for power and domination versus some people want for peace and love.
Decisive battle as prolog? Check. We can predict another decisive battle near or in the end.
The downfall of evil side? Check. Here we have team black fox versus good fox. We can predict a coming back.
A happy go lucky ML with sad childhood turned into a hero? Check. He is orphaned and predictably will grow to be a chosen one and do great sacrifice later near or in the end, I predict.
A heroic FL turned into a brainless lover? Check. She will be stupid somewhere in the story and lose her badass-ness out of love. Her ooold age won't make her wiser.
A peaceful like fantasy world where people idle and laugh and act like child everyday? Check. It will be destroyed.
An object with powerful magic that keep everything at place? Check. A powerful tree that needs to be protected? What else we got? It will be corrupted.

I drop this one. Finding that it will be 36 episode for a drama full of tropes is too much. It will be boring like hell. Either Yang Mi or Gong Jun won't save this one. If you like it, just go for its nice visual and maybe steamy romance (?), but if you have a bit more intelligence, the story will drought you down. The wardrobe is too beautiful for "fox" spirit clan. Looks too humane and too cute. The battle/ fight scene lack elaboration and complexity. They just shows "typical hand movements" (you know what I mean?) and the enemy is dead, turned into powder. Meanwhile, in other scene, other spirit is died with cut in his throat like a human. How bad is the internal consistency and worldbuilding. This drama celebrates love and romance too much and lacks exploration toward other underexplored themes like justice, self struggle, fight for destiny, compassion toward out-group/ fellow human/ other creatures, simple happy life, adventure and richness of life, etc. Just another xianxia. Watching or not watching this won't make your life better or worse. Sorry, if I am harsh. I'd be better re-watching "Till the End of the Moon" or "Love and Redemption" in the same genre instead of watching this one.

I boycotted this drama

First of all, I want to apologize for picking this drama as my target…

The problems with many Chinese dramas, it has a tendencies of promoting propaganda and racism…it is soooo unnecessary.

When I was growing up, I remembered….. the drug dealers, the prostitutes, the idiots are stereotyped and played by foreigners……..after all these years, it still haven’t changed.

This drama started out with this westerner disregarded and betrayed Ding Kai because he was Chinese, followed by another panels of Foreigners saying he was not fit for the job and unable to make competence decisions also because he was Chinese???????……

Will implicating how horrific foreigners? enhance and promote the dispositions of the Chinese? Does the scrip writers have an inferiority complex? Does criticizing non Chinese makes this a better drama?

I am proud Chinese myself. I would like to see a better methods other than using belittlements, because the results, it only humiliated ourselves. We can do better than that.

I would like to enjoy a simple series without all this complexities.

Love Overcomes Everything!

The ML murdered demons for power and slaughtered a city of civilians because the FL died. Oh, what great love! The demons should be proud that their years of hard work didn’t go to waste and the people should be glad that they didn’t need to work so hard and live such mediocre lives without love. Deaths of family, friends, defenceless civilians, duty / pride / honour as a saviour are nothing compared to such love. So, the FL returned to love and support him, even in denouncing her sister who stole a some love-inducing threads from the vixen.

The sister, a young defenceless mortal, was requested by a dying soldier (of the same country) to bring the threads to his beloved vixen. The poor vixen waited in vain for years because of the evil sister! The vixen lost the ability to love, while being consoled by her current boyfriend, the FL’s brother. How dare the sister stole the threads! The brother was only left with the vixen’s body! The brother’s heart ached for the vixen who wanted to love him so much that she went to the battlefield to persuade him to surrender so that he would not be killed by the bloodthirsty ML.

The brother was then enlightened to the errors of his military upbringing and decisively surrendered without negotiation. The vixen would not lose another love who died defending the country. Surely the love of the ML for his sister would let him spare the soldiers and civilians. Surely the love of the ML would touch the hearts of the officials and people on the opposite side and erase the pain of fallen soldiers. How can the lowly lands and properties matter more than love!

Wow! What a brilliant show that made people live out their dreams! No need for hard work! Sociopaths/psychopaths rule! Powerful people make the rules. Plagiarism, so what! People should be honoured that their work was worthy enough to get copied.

Alas! Many ordinary mortals like me have too weak a body constitution to stomach the glorious love. We have to sadly turn to something with at least some common sense.
