Honest opinion

Honestly the story and the characters had a lot of potential but it was not explored in this series. I felt the series too boring some times but kept on watching hoping it will become better, but it is ok not good according to my point of view. The series only focuses on the protagonist's journey and his ambitions nothing more nothing less. Also i felt like he became a little too arrogant in the middle of the show. One thing I liked about wuxia dramas was that they explore each character, their journey and relationships throughout the series. Here in this series nothing like that is visible and it is all about the ML. The female lead though strong but totally useless according to me. All of them fall in love with the ML without any reason. Especially Xun'er i am totally ignoring the fact that the ML was her first cousin and she was in love with him, but that love was never return by the ML also their was zero chemistry between them. The ML had better chemistry with his teacher another poison girl and even Medusa. Also the screentime the characters were so good especially female character but the screen time was too less. I watched this drama for Xiao Zhan but he was not even in half of the episodes. Though I liked thier friendship with the lead but all of them when facing the challenges waits for the ML to command them and save them, even the senior who was their. It makes no sense that every time there was danger or some kind of competition all of them relied heavily on Xiao Yan, Even when he was not that powerful. Medusa is totally useless and only comes out 3 or 4 time. Also i don't like harem system and Xun'er though dragon mother but her priority was always Xiao Yan. Her whole life revolves around the Ml and one scene i find really absurd is that in one episode the ML is saying he regards Xun'er as his little sister but in the next scene when she talks with another male he gets jealous. His affection makes no sense to me. I liked the character of Nalan Yanren with a 3d personality and life of her own not revolving around the ML but too little screen time was given to her. For me this drama gets really boring too many times although I am finishing this drama but compared to other wuxia dramas i have watched this drama falls flat. I liked the character medicine elder a lot. Music is ok not good according to me.
All in all i was thinking of watching the donghua after this but now I am not so sure.

So I watched this drama in continuation to other voice series. As much as I loved thriller genre, I must say this was not as good as other seasons. Especially after Do kand Woo death. His death in previous season was highly disappointing. His character was so good and complex that I loved watching him. One thing that I found absurd in Voice seasons was that nobody shot the actual criminal in the series but they shot a police officer in the head with the intention of killing him. His mental state was not good, but it was not taken into account.
Now coming to this season there were so many stupid mistakes in first few episodes tht I was literally banging my head on the wall. Ths mute sister of the ML made so many stupid mistakes in order to get killed. The main villain and the concept behind it was good but somehow I was not that impressed with the story line as there was no mystery in it to solve. It became repetitive and boring after a point of time. I didn't like the male lead much but let's hope they come up with a better storyline in Voice 5.

Strong female lead is love

Though i started this drama for Yibo and a the given strong female lead. I sticked to it because it is well made. I haven't read the novel but I heard it is not as good as the novel. However i loved this drama. Priest as novel writer rocks. I loved the execution of the story and how it explores the dynamics of every character. Also i loved the fact that Zhao li Ying is a veteran in industry and is playing a character opposite Yibo. There is only one annoying character Li Yan. Other than that i loved how it explores different stories of different characters. I loved Duan Jiu Niang, too bad she died early wanted to see her more. The fact that physical strength is not everything is shown in the way how the characters explore their strength during the show time. The character of ChuChu her development was phenomenal. I loved her character development. The chemistry between Yibo and Zhao li Ying is good. I loved how they go through thick and thin together and romance is not central to the story.

Really good drama

So I watched this drama for Xiao Zhan and got impressed but Darren Wang. The range he possesses my goodness i loved the way he portrayed innocence then hatred then menacing and then in love. The music is beautiful the acting of the whole cast is just awesome. I loved the transition of FL. How she learnt fighting different skills and the ending it was heart breaking but beautiful. The character of Ji Chong was damn sexy every time he came on screen i literally slowed the video to get a good look on him. Li Qin did a fantastic job in this and loved her emotion portrayal in different situations. The story always keeps you on edge of the seat and it is so interesting so painfully good. Beautiful creation by everyone. Also i loved the ways the two ml support and teaches the FL to fight on her own. That was darn good. A special thanks to costume department especially for Ji Chong loved them all. The music, acting, cinematography everything.

Strong female characters except the female lead

So i started this show because I love wuxia dramas especially which have less romance elements and more pain and good female characters. I dropped this drama after reading all the reviews here. One of the main reasons I watched this drama was because I thought it had good and strong female characters. But to my disappointment the female lead Tie Xin lan was extremely useless and annoying. At first she was very powerful more than male lead because she was disguised as a boy, but when the main lead found out that she was a girl she became damsel in distress in an instant. It was quite painful to watch her character was ruined and she became quite pathetic. Along with that other female characters that were powerful were depicted as immature brat and childish. They were easily riled up and fooled by the male lead. Honestly i didn't like the male lead he was quite arrogant with a lot of male ego. After reading the reviews here I got to know that the fl is gonaa be pathetic through and through so i am dropping this show. Can't handle another one of those useless female leads who have nothing better to do and become a lovesick girl. I really hate that kind of characters.
