A Demon Fantasy That Won Me Over
This drama really took me by surprise. I struggle with some of Ren Jialun’s dramas, so I initially passed on this one—especially since I was already having a hard time getting through Love of Nirvana. I didn’t think another watch would work for me. But after ranking Love and Crown as a top-shelf favorite, I decided to come back to this, and I’m really glad I did. While it didn’t quite reach top-shelf status, it comfortably landed in my upper tier.
I loved the theme and the investigative storyline. It held my attention with a steady trajectory, and I was engaged with the narrative from start to finish. The characters were likable—some even lovable—and I found myself genuinely invested, almost crying through certain scenes and smiling through others. Some viewers have said the romance is minimal, but for me it was enough. In fact, there were moments when it felt like a bit too much, pulling focus from the plot. I tend to prefer romances that support the story rather than slow it down, serving more as a backdrop or arc than a constant marker for relationship beats.
Overall, this drama worked well for me and now I am curious about the novel.
