Good drama
I think this is a great drama and really don't understand the low ratings given. The ML has never looked as handsome as he appears in this drama. His acting is good, but he always acts his part well. The FL is cute as a button and her expressive face tells more than her words. I like the CP between them.Was this review helpful to you?
Turned Out Better Than Expected
I have always been a fan of Vin Zhang, but have been disappointed in some of the roles he acted in. Normally a cold, dispassionate person who some how wins the girl in the end. This drama is different because he actually has more than a stone face and cold tone to show us. It started out that way for sure, but after a couple of episodes, his character began to change. For the first time, I actually saw a humorous side of Vin Zhang. Even some modern dramas that was humorous didn't show his characters sense of humor. Sun Zhen Ni is at one of her best roles IMO. Both leads have great chemistry towards each other. I'm glad I didn't drop this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Sigh...It's Over Already
I have enjoyed watching this drama. FL started off pretty lame, but became stronger. There is good chemistry between the leads and can't wait for Season 2 to see more. They could have taken this to 40 episodes with all the open ends left to see the outcomes that will definitely cause more problems before it gets better.Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty Good Drama
I had forgotten that the leads had been in the drama The Rise Of Ning which I am currently rewatching. The FL and ML in this drama ended up having one of the best CP's I have watched this year. I really enjoyed their interactions and felt they were truly immersed in their characters. I enjoyed all the support cast as well. All of them played their parts to perfection. My low rating is due to the production team and how it was a let down in the end. Too many people died in the last confrontation that it made me upset. I had wished for a better ending and was disappointed by all the lives lost and felt it unnecessary. I'm not a script writer, but this could have had a much nicer and thoughtful ending. It almost made me wish I hadn't wasted all my time watching this drama. The overall ratings would have been higher if the production team had thought it through more. Losing ONE or TWO is enough to startle watchers, but the overall devastation was too over-the-top. I won't rewatch with an ending so horrendous.Was this review helpful to you?
Not An Easy Plot To Follow
I truly have enjoyed this drama. I am having a hard time following what is going on. The plot jumps all over the place with no clear leads into the next scene. I will rewatch and maybe grasp the story. The war is the hardest to keep up with. The individual cleansing of evil when the disciples come together to kill evil, is easy to follow. There are just so many holes in this drama that I can't even fill them in with my imagination. The drama definitely doesn't get too detailed, but if I'm left scratching my head, then there is not enough details. I just love watching YangYang to be honest. I love that he is not stoned faced throughout, but actually smiles and endears my heart to the characters he cares about. The one love scene was shocking and unexpected. Then ...nothing more between the two since then. I don't get it, but like I said, there is so much I don't get the reason for. I hope everyone else understands the plot better than me.Was this review helpful to you?
Gotta Love This Crew
I have read some scathing reviews on other sites which baffles me. Thank goodness this was not like Joy To Life S2 which was not to my liking. I didn't finish that drama, but I am very happy with this one. I am glad it is not exactly the same vibe as S1. It's a little darker. The tears have fallen on the last two episodes I've watched. I still have Ep. 22 to 25 to go. I am all in on this story and will hate to see it end. I wish Jianci had been in more episodes. I think brother got way obsessed and I actually found myself hating him and filled with disgust. Zhang Wan Yi is a great actor. His eyes show a lot of emotion. Everyone acted great. In a few months I will watch both seasons again.Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty Much Real To Life
This is a solid drama with great actors. I have laughed, cried and felt very uncomfortable at times. The lies and omission of telling partner their real thoughts, is my discomfort. Of course, when starting a relationship, omitting certain details are allowed. I can reflect on my past and realize I took the more difficult path just because coming clean is hard to admit. I will watch this to the endWas this review helpful to you?
Be Prepared To Cry
One of the best dramas... unexpectedly. The ML and FL don't seem like they would gel together, but their acting skills are way more than I had hoped for. I think I have shed tears almost every episode. Misconceptions from people who are not involved with their lives also happens in real life. I think if people would just start a negative journal for commenting when they encounter posts they can't possibly understand, instead of venting on the post, life would be more peaceful for everyone. Anyway, don't pass up this drama. It is excellent.Was this review helpful to you?
A Hot Mess
The drama was not what I expected. It was ok up until Episode 31 when all the bizarre killings began. I didn't get why the one male character kept blaming the sect leader about the 9 people that were killed when the drama began. After talking about the the treasure through the whole drama, there was no clear sighting of what the treasure was. It was one heck of a downer at the end. Not one person ended up together and the story flatlined.Was this review helpful to you?
Sleeping Gem
I almost quit watching this after about 5 minutes, but super glad I didn't. This short drama series is pretty funny. I love the ML and that he has 3 fiances that all come to admire him. The funny comes at unexpected times. All the actors are serious, but the ML and his father are the comic relief. I can only imagine the BTS and retakes because they surely cracked up with laughter trying to do some scenes. I am surprised I have stayed glued to the screen waiting on the next antic to laugh at. The drama moves along quickly without stretching any scenes for several episodes. It's a light drama that is quite entertaining. I normally don't like obvious humor, but this drama isn't over the top slap stick or I really wouldn't watch it. All the actors are great and love how the villains have some great one-liners. I will tell the response of one villain that I'm still giggling about without revealing which one it is. "What just happened!?" "I just got slapped and sent flying!" Hahahahaha, hopefully when you see this scene, the disbelief on the villains face and his tone of voice will keep you giggling for a bit.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the Best Dramad
I have watched this drama 3 times since it aired. It never fails to make me LOL and bawls my eyes out. I put it in the category of all time greatest. From the smallest and youngest actors all the way up to the eldest actors, it's just a magical piece. It's a rare episode that nothing good or bad happens. You will love it from beginning to end. It made me wish I had "brothers of another mother" in my life. You just can't go wrong watching this drama.Was this review helpful to you?

One Of The Best If 2024
I am all in with this drama. I see some people are disappointed because it has humor and wanted it to be dark the entire show. You HAVE to have the relief from the darkness to enjoy it when you are traveling through it. Genius director and script writer(s). Episode 9 had me so enthralled that I got irritated at my dog for wanting to go outside to relieve herself. Thankfully I can push pause and miss nothing. The title is misleading because I thought this was about vampires and almost didn't watch it. I can't rave about this drama too much. The guest actors are so great to watch. The leads and 2nd leads including the young boy, make this drama worth your time. I have laughed, I have cried and I want more episodes than just 2 per day. Don't miss this one.Was this review helpful to you?
Pretty Good Drama
My favorite actors in this drama are the Uncle and "over weight" sister, plus the cute as hell goose. They are the scene stealers every time they show up IMO. I laugh at their antics over to eat or not eat the goose. I wish their was a different FL and this would be a perfect drama. FL's acting has not improved and her monotone and baby talk words are ridiculous to listen to. I truly wish one of the hundreds of actresses that China has, a different one could have been chosen. Oh well, all the other characters are great.Was this review helpful to you?
Confusing Drama
I blame the director(s) for this drama. It took at least 20 episodes before I even began to understand this fiasco. If shown in an understanding manner and not in jumping from one confusing scene to the next, this could have been a decent drama. Now that I understand what is going on, I will continue watching on how this plays out. If not for the fact there isn't any really good wuxia dramas out at this time that, watching 2 episodes a day is no grievance. I love Allen Ren, but the dramas he has accepted recently have done him no justice in the last couple of years. At least he is smiling or carrying a pleasant expression, but it downplays his talent. He is just going through the motions with no commitment to his craft. I thought twice before starting this because Mr. Ren is not immersed in any character lately.Was this review helpful to you?
