Ep 23 was filled with good surprises and again, the OSTs were awesome! I always like the grand entrances of the Guardians, especially XNY and Yang Yan.
Most are so against SQ but I like this villain and his complex layers. I think there is more that we will discover about him. Han Dong is playing him so well!
Ep 22 was packed - from one emotion to another. I thought they will go through some cliché scenes to move the romance along but the show took a different direction. I like the focus on the action and case solving.
Awwww, XQA listing the reasons why he would eventually fall for Lin’An… The evil thing that the good guys are fighting is scary - that’s a worthy villain!
I binge-watched until ep 9 and found this drama to be enjoyable. It is a typical xianxia, but the CGI, action scenes, and music are awesome, and best of all, the chemistry between the leads.
I usually don't like "strong" FL characters who are bold, flirty, and have no boundaries mainly because most are not acted well and only come across as being shameless and obnoxious. Not MXN - Sun Zhen Ni is doing an excellent job as the FL!
I don't mind the SML - He's actually much better than other SMLs, he's respectful while expressing his feelings. He does not respond negatively (for now) when the FL rejects him, and he's not even that clingy.

Great show - best kdrama in 2024 for me! Love the OST, the story, the directing and most of all, the acting! Amazing amazing chemistry - they truly deserve the best couple award, and the other awards of excellence! The last two episodes were fine to me. Yes parts of episode 12 were a bit makjang but I like that the FL showed a stronger self and went after what she wanted. The culmination of their physical relationship was sexy 🔥 Paik Yu Yeon was hot with his shades and I thought it was fitting that he ended flirting with 406. Sorry for the spoiler!
This drama is a great start to 2025! In two days, I binged until episode 17 and thoroughly enjoyed the show so far. It's such a well-written and intelligent story, and the humor is so on-point! Dylan is hot as XQA, and I love his two copper guardian side kicks - those 3 musketeers always made me laugh. In fact, most of the characters are great! I like the story now, with the action and case-solving, and would prefer no romance, but since there is a romance tag, I guess it will happen sooner or later. I don't find the Princess Lin'An that silly - in fact, I think she is smarter than she lets on in front of others. TXW is really pretty as the princess. Let's hope the show does not lose steam towards the end.
