Beh, I had much higher expectations for this show. They fall in love only because of the blood pact and ML is…
They didn't fall in love because of the blood pact, the blood pact just brought them together. They fell in love because they genuinely have feelings for each other. It's clear to see.
This was a really enjoyable drama that kept me hooked from start to finish. The romance was well done, just the right amount, and I thought the chemistry between the leads was excellent.
One of the highlights for me was the supernatural power the ML possessed. It was such a surprising but brilliant addition, and it elevated the entire story. That said, I wasn’t a fan of him losing his power for around seven episodes. I don’t mind the idea of him losing it temporarily, but that stretch felt too long. I did love that he regained it at the end, but I wish the show had explored his journey of learning to control it more gradually throughout. It would have been even better to see him grow into it, mastering the power until it truly became a part of him, rather than feeling like two separate entities. Watching him use it more often, even in a heroic way, would have made his arc even more satisfying.
Another detail I really appreciated was how the actor bulked up for the role. Since his character is a lifelong military general, it made perfect sense that he should have a strong, muscular physique. You could tell he put in the effort to prepare physically, which gave the role much more authenticity. Too often in dramas, you’ll see generals or warriors portrayed by actors who look far too thin for the part. This actor, however, really fit the role perfectly.
Overall, this drama was very well done. It had great pacing, a story that kept me interested the whole time, and no moments where I felt the urge to skip ahead. Nearly perfect, I just took off a couple of points for the power-loss arc dragging on too long. Still, it was a fantastic watch that I’d definitely recommend.
Are the ones you mentioned good and how is the romance in them ? Slow burn?
I Hear Your Voice was my favorite because it had the most romance while also blending in fantasy and supernatural elements, exactly the mix of genres I enjoy. Lawless Lawyer stood out to me for its strong revenge theme. It has less romance than I Hear Your Voice, but it’s still there, and the combination of law, revenge, and romance makes for a fantastic story. Remember follows a similar path to Lawless Lawyer, with revenge and some romance at its core, but the story takes a unique turn thanks to the ML’s extraordinary ability to remember everything he sees, which adds a fascinating dynamic to his role as a lawyer.
This drama was absolutely fantastic. Everything about it was perfect. There wasn’t a single dull moment. The beginning drew me in right away. I loved how the ML and FL met quickly and that it wasn’t a slow burn, so the romance picked up straight away.
I really appreciated that the ML was portrayed as powerful and feared by everyone, instead of the typical weak ML, that was a huge plus. I also loved the setup at the start, with the ML locked away in his tower until the FL came to serve him.
Another detail I really enjoyed was how the show constantly reminded us that the FL is from the modern world. She kept using modern terminology, which confused the historical characters, and sometimes they even picked up on those words themselves, those moments were genuinely funny. Far too often in other dramas, when the FL is transported from modern times into the past, she just blends in and speaks like everyone else, and you almost forget where she came from. But here, they kept that aspect alive throughout the story, which made it feel more authentic and engaging.
The chemistry between the ML and FL was excellent, and I loved how much time they spent together. Even the amnesia storyline was handled well and didn’t feel overdone.
Overall, this was an amazing drama. One of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Perfect pacing, perfect romance, great chemistry, and an entertaining balance of humor and intensity. Without a doubt, a perfect score from me.
I’m planning to watch this since I really enjoy law dramas, but for me, they need to have some romance element as well. Some of the best ones I’ve seen are, I Hear Your Voice, Remember, and Lawless Lawyer. All 3 were fantastic. That’s why I’m interested in this one, but I’m a little concerned it might lack the romance. Has anyone who’s seen those 3 dramas watched this too, and can confirm if it has a similar vibe?
I haven't seen you enjoy any Xu Kai drama so I'm not surprised. I wonder what dramas you do enjoy.
Easy, just take a look at my completed watchlist, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll spot all the dramas of his that I’ve rated highly. Perhaps that would've been the smartest place to start.
Wow, a full-on supporter of insults. Laughing emojis, agreeing 100%, all cheering on someone bullying others. Incredible how proud you are of being part of the problem.
And nobody forced you to reply in an English that's barely understandable. I’m entitled to share my opinion on the drama, just like you’re entitled to enjoy it. Insulting me doesn’t change that. Throwing insults doesn’t make your taste any better. It just makes your comment look ridiculous and says more about you than it does about me. Bullying doesn't make you right, it makes you pathetic. Grow up and be better than that.
I ended up dropping this. It actually started off well. The first 6 episodes or so had me interested. But after that, I completely lost interest. It got boring, dragged on, and when I skipped ahead to see how things turned out, I realized I was right to drop it. The pacing was a mess. Everything important was delayed far too long, only to be crammed into the last few episodes. Ridiculous. And what happened to the whole promise of them working together to fight evil? They should’ve discovered each other’s identities early on and teamed up. That’s what I was waiting for. Instead, we got this nonsense. I really thought this drama was going to be something special, but it just turned out to be a huge disappointment. Even the story itself wasn’t what I expected. I was hoping for a different vibe, a different setting. But it just wasn’t that. Overall, it's not a good drama.
Alright, third time’s the charm, I guess. Immortal Ascension was a disaster, Moonlit Reunion was just as bad, and now I’m hanging all my hopes on this one. Please, for the love of God, don’t screw this up.

Assertive and insulting are completely different. Cultural differences don’t excuse personal attacks or harassment.
