how? why? really?
honestly if I was not 22/30 i would have dropped it. none of the story makes sense. no background story on anything. awful acting, really bad directing. bad props, the story is just silly.-seriously if you have not started, don't. save yourself the time and just watch something else.
-some of the worse acting and directing and scene i have seen. extremely rushed. might be covid???!!
- they can fly across dozens of kilometres in the air, but need horses to travel short distances and get lost in the forest.
-powers don't match, master wu that just died was the most powerful cultivator of their time. but he resorted to a pill against 1 ok power dude, and 1 girl that is not even as powerful as the prince. but the prince and the demon prince were getting their butt handed to them by him, but some how he could not 1 shot them. really man?.
-heroine is getting stronger. never seen her cultivate once.
-somehow she beats the most powerful rival that beat her once easily, without her blood, just randomly.
-there is no character development.
-why does the queen even want to destroy this culture? she is the queen. already the 2nd most powerful person. even if she lets the demons take over, she will still be 2nd.
-literally could have just made her lose her memory and the story would have been the same. cause she learned medicine from the old man anyways.
-king tells her you can marry him once you recover your blood. but does not remember her name with in 12 hours. so she will be the next empress, but her name is not important.
-there is 8 chances(episodes)that of some of this to be explained. but i really doubt it.
i think most of the story was written around random characters and just put it together.or maybe they made it up on the day of shooting.
-only good acting is by Feng Xun and Yin Zhao Ge. only reason this even got 3 stars. might be more of a directing issue than their acting skills. i have seen over 20 custom/historical dramas that all have well over 50 episodes and this is just silly, it is even worse than legends as far as how things are happening.
-on the positive note. the clothing and custom designs are amazing looking. some of the best i have seen.
-the CGI was really good for low budget though.

Best acting i have ever seen.
minus the time travelling part. this has to be one of my favorite dramas of all time. the strongest acting and chemistry i have ever seen. it was like every single person was born to play their part. even the child actor is amazing. there was literally 1 scene in the entire drama i can say the acting was not 100% perfect. the chemistry between all actors is spectacular.if you have not watch it. DONT, they might film season 2 sometimes in 2021, you will regret every moment after you finished it. took me several days just to cope with the fact this show finished.its that good, here we are 30 dramas after just so i can stop being sad. this is a drama that needs to be binged watched all 3 seasons and all your 1000 questions answered. hopefully the acting will be as strong season two with the same cast.
and for all your king haters. i love this characters. probably my favourite.

best chemistry between leads.
my favourite drama. watched it over 10 times. might watch it soon. a must watch. if you can get through the first 2 episodes. then it becomes amazing.it goes from scary to comedy, romance.
acting is superb. but nothing beats chemistry between the lead actors. i watch 100 drama after this and still think it best chemistry i have seen, and who can't love secretary kim?
ending is good. could have been better. even season two with some animal none sense.( wont spoil it for you)

Don't waste your time.
As much as I loved the main actress in story of ming lan. she is absolutely can't do action, their facial expressions, the cut scenes, the fighting scenes are just so silly. she has the same face for everything, no chemistry between the characters. Its not an engaging show at all, i wanted to like it. after episode one, i couldn't watch it without pausing it for hours. just don't watch it. its a silly show.music was really good though, but some of the worst acting i have seen in a while, worse part is, they are A tier actors, must be the director.
