The cast is really funny and charming. Even the bad guys. Also, LYN in that mask and fit is fantastic. Please give me more. This gentleman never stops looking SO GOOD in dark clothing. Li Yi Tong is a fun actress to watch. (Also Riley/Shangguan... Who allowed this man to be so charming? I'm in love.) This show is not perfect by any means, there were some things I wish was better, BUT I still had a damn good time!

I've been wondering... Does Liu Yu Ning seek out roles where there's a lot of male characters who are close like brothers? Like A Journey To Love, Prisoner of Beauty, A Dream Within A Dream, and so on. If that's his thing, then I totally love it. (Even though I know some of them will break my heart.)

Also, this man looks so classy in dark clothing, especially in period time dramas. It never ceases to amaze me how good he looks.

I personally like the slow build up. It seems to give the identity reveals some weight. Currently, we are seeing the two leads understand each other without prejudice. I don't know how the story will go, but I predict that in the later part, their bond will be tested because they're meant to be enemies. In my opinion, a true enemies-to-lovers type of story should progress slowly, giving weight to the meaning of "enemies" and "lovers".

Yes! I 100% agree. I love this show a lot! The mystery is wonderful, the hints the ML gets that will eventually build up to a big reveal. The buildup for the relationship is also steady; the cast is wonderfully bright. I cannot get over how the demonic world is portrayed: it's dark but vibrant, so much different than the more naturally colored human world. There are demons shaped like literal fishes, tiny demons, masked demons that walk awkwardly.. And tilting buildings! I love it! This show is beautifully crafted.

Seeing a knew side of TXW's acting and I'm enjoying it a lot. Also, I'm loving the show itself. The set for the human world and the Demon Underworld is so different, but both are just as beautiful. I just want to drop a quick comment 'cause I'm so excited about this show. Will drop another comment when the series is done. :)

Thanks for the reply! :D Then I'll save this to watch later.

Lately, I've been wanting to watch a C-drama that's mostly optimistic and lighthearted. Does this drama retain that sort of vibe throughout most of the show?

You made it far into the show, so it's clear that you tried. But if it didn't work for you, then it doesn't. Your taste matters. Shows and movies are entertainment. It should be something you should enjoy! There's only so many hours in a day, so I will say to move onto something else. Who knows? Maybe the next one will be your favorite.

Thank you both for the recommendations!

Thanks, will do!

Oh, yeah. Reset's been on my list for a while, I'll give that a try first. :) Thanks for the reminder.

I understand now. Thanks for the explanation. :)

Maybe I just have a different understanding of the word "bromance". Or maybe misunderstanding? I always thought "bromance" was just a bunch of good friends who are men. But, yeah, I went in wanting nothing but just the classic mystery sort of show and I got exactly that. The chemistry between all the actors were amazing.

Amazing. All of it: from the acting to the production to the script. There are so many intense and thrilling scenes that really drive up the anxiety. I really fell into the moment and felt the urgency to solve these mysteries. This show was so incredibly engaging and immersive, it really does deserve to have a much higher rating.

I've watched a few shows with Zhang Ling He in it. I must say that his roles as Pei Wen Xuan and Chang Heng (LBFAD) is one of his best. It shows his calm, a little angsty, shy, and sweet demeanor, which is very natural and charming.
Also, Zhao Jin Mai is a wonderful and strong actress. She portrayed so many range of emotions with ease, I was really convinced! I will definitely be looking into her other shows. :)

Just watched this again. With a friend this time. Yeap. Still makes me cry, still makes me laugh. This show will forever have a special place in my heart. <3

Oh, I like that! Thanks for letting me know.

Oh, I can totally see that being a good dynamic with TXW.

Yes! I especially love New Life Begins. Definitely my cozy/comfort show.

How did you get that from what I said? If Sheruchan liked Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, I just recommended another show that also has the same actors just in case the person enjoyed watching Esther and DYX together. It's the same cast. I recommended it so that Sheruchan can watch more of the same people acting on screen together. I never said it was better or worse than the current show. I said nothing about LBFAD, which I also like, by the way.
