CloudA has a discussion thread up above and answers so many questions. I so understand the backstory behind LZS now and why he is doing what he is doing, which actually is making the drama even more appealing.

I want to watch that drama so bad, cause it has so many of my favorite male actors, but I so can not get past the FL, I have tried and tried so many times. It was the same with LBFAD, I could not get past Esther Yu to enjoy that drama. It really sucks when I know a drama is good or would be good and I just can't stand to watch one of the actors, unfortunately.

Is it the one with Crystal Yuan? I really really want to see that one.

LOL, "they just found the time to come to see an execution" right!?! I never even thought of that. I wonder what this means for their economy with all the merchant families either have fled or dead... Sucks to be there now.

YES!! definitely, I notice that a lot with Jeremy Tsui and also Wallace Chung, I am sure there are several more.

I think Business Proposal was the last one I fully enjoyed. I don't watch a lot of costume K Dramas, just because I prefer costume C Dramas and modern K Dramas. Although, I haven't watched Dr. Romantic S3 yet. I will probably enjoy that one when I get a chance to watch, it just finished, so I will probably binge it soon.

I agree, I am a bit tired of all the dark K Dramas. I mean don't get me wrong if there is one with one of my favorite actors in I might check it out, but I prefer the ones like My Business Proposal, Dr, Romantic, Her Private Life, etc. I love the feel good modern K Dramas, not the dark dreary ones. There is one with Bae Suzy coming out soon I am looking forward to though. A couple on Netflix I am probably going to check out as well. But right now, C Dramas are in the lead atm, there are way to many good ones back to back so I don't have time to watch any K Dramas.

I love when actors are so good you hate their character so much.

the bestie was probably the most emotional for me..... I want to think his father didn't really die, and he will come back later, I think he (the father) set it up to look like he died so they wouldn't search for him anymore

They really do. There are definitely actors I prefer in costume with longer hair than I do in modern dramas with the shorter hair.

I just going through the cast list and the guest roles have a lot of huge actors in it (not really mainstream), but they are actors you see playing important people in lots of other dramas, particularly the older cast. So neat to see.

Unless I missed something, how can that Commissioner/Governor or whatever he is justify killing so many people. I understand why he wanted to go after the Gu family, they made that clear, but to kill Yuru's father and go after her family, kill all the Ye family, and so many others, just doesn't make sense or there isn't any justification in it and how can he get away with it. I can't wait to see him go down. I hope he is tortured/executed/burned alive or whatever so bad.

Thank you, downloaded it today and able to watch this series now

it is not showing up on my WeTV app or WeTV browser at all

Yes he is quite good. I will say his fight scenes and choreography are done well.

I am so glad I am not the only one who thought this. I was like if this happens through the whole drama, I can't watch it. I feel like I am watching 1950s 60s or whatever Batman with the "Bam" "Pow" etc.
I thought the first episode was really bad and I didn't want to continue, but actually after about the middle to end of the 3rd episode, I thought it started to pick up and get a bit better, especially when they started adding more characters. I am actually speed watching it and fast forwarding through a few draggy scenes, but I think the story is picking up.

So finished the first 6 episodes. It is definitely not one of my favorites of Xu Kai's dramas. It is lacking on so much. The story itself isn't bad. I am actually speed watching it. It has a pretty good cast. Guli Nazha isn't usually one of my favorite actresses to watch, actually the only drama I have ever liked her in was Weaving a Tale of Love, but she is pretty good here.

I am disappointed of course in the CGI, and overall background and settings, but the acting and story seems to somewhat make up for that. There are a couple of actors that are not very good, but more that are, that make up for the few bad ones.

I will probably wait til all the episodes come out before I finish this though and then speed watch them all. It is definitely one that I probably will never watch again, but who knows there is still 34 episodes to go.

Yes he definitely does. He is really a good actor.

Yes the CGI, VFX, or whatever is really bad, but this should also be called a xianxia. It has a lot of elements of a xianxia. I don't like the script on the screen when they are fighting, it is distracting and annoying.
I can't believe one guy (well 2, the 2nd guy doesn't really count) was able to overcome 3 seemingly powerful people. He wants the mom's ancient bloodline, if it is so good, how was he able to defeat them and she wasn't.
This is just my take after watching the first 30 mins of the first episode. I am going to try and give it more time before I decide to drop or not.
I like Xu Kai, but I haven't been real thrilled with a lot of his dramas lately, unfortunately. I have been dropping them after about 10 or so episodes.

it is fantasy so anything is possible
