PRESS PLAY! DON'T HESITATE!

Firstly, I've only recently gotten into the whole wuxia/xianxia genre and this is honestly one of the best i have seen. I've read both the book and watched the live adaptation and can positively say without a doubt that the live adaptation gives you everything you would expect and so much more. From a personal pov, this is the only live adaptation in which i prefer the series instead of the book.

Don't get me wrong - the book is definitely worth the read but, for me, shl provided a much smoother execution of the story line and better character development. firstly, wen kexing's revenge was given a lot more attention from the beginning and the sequence of events leading towards him finally avenging his parents deaths was much smoother than in the book and given more importance. Secondly, the order in which word of honor gave us the details of the past and its effect on the present was carried out way better than in tian ya ke. The bromance between zzs and wkx was the highlight of the show, even with the censorship - the actions, glances, blatant flirting were more than enough to have even the stoniest of hearts swooning in their seats. The OSTs are extremely catchy and are still played on repeat even though i finished shl weeks ago. The actors and actresses did a spectacular job portraying their characters leaving me hooked from the first episode. I'll definitely be rewatching this in the near future.

WORTH THE WAIT!!!

this is my first ever review and im so glad its for this show.
MewGulf made me fall head over heels for tharn and type in season 1. Albeit, i admit that the first three episodes of season 1 had my skin crawling but it was so worth pushing through and completing it. I had waited weeks for season 2 to finish and i am not in the least bit disappointed.
ive seen alot of negative reviews about this and what most people need to understand is that this is a drama. and even in a realistic relationship - jealousy and miscommunication is very common.

now for my review-
( SPOILERS AHEAD):

the show started of slow paced and eased its way into the story line which is good compared to how fast paced season 1 was. This season showed serious development in tharn and types relationship. Type was ALOT calmer (ofcourse still hot headed at times - but thats just type) and he started to think through his actions -- obviously, the situations that set him off and brought back the hot-headed, fowl-mouthed type is when tharn is involved. Personally, i believe while tharn and type need to step back and think things through properly when it involves their relationship; their impulsiveness towards each other stems from the fact that they cant bear to lose each other. As far as tharn is concerned- he learned to deal with types mood swings alot better. the bad aspect is that their relationship is dependent and a little toxic BUT THIS IS JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT and their cuteness and chemistry make up for everything.
The supporting characters made this show fun to watch. i especially loved phugun and P'Cir relationship which was cute and sweet.
And for our little villian - if we can even call him that - fiat, honestly i grew to understand him and feel sorry for him. While what he did to tharn and type was obviously wrong and made me want to cut his head off, you come to understand that hes still a immature kid who was acting out because he wanted to be loved back by his crush (Leo).

the music , like the first season, was AMAZING!!! this series has by far some of the best OSTs.
REWATCH VALUE is a definite 1000000/10 - MewGulf is too perfect to pass up on.

Overall i thoroughly enjoyed watching this show and would recommend it for everyone who loves steamy kisses, cute jealousy, drama and flawed characters that make you laugh and cry with them. All Actors/ Actresses brought their "A game" and made me fall inlove with their characters. I love this show so much and will definitely miss TharnType.
