So cool! They stick close to the novel and there is so much comedy.

Why have such high standards for a simple romcom? It has its own pace and the outcome is well-known. Its attraction lies in its light-hearted tone, humour and the cuteness of the relationships. The main characters get to know each other, fall for each other and only then will they proceed to sth more intimate. That might be old-fashioned for some. But what's so bad about it? It's not a masterpiece in terms of plot, but it has never promised to be one. As the actors said it's sth you can watch in the evening, smile a bit and relax, which I do with pleasure. The premise of the story is that of an old Italian film "Ill-tempered man tamed". So the female lead tries to tame the male lead but in an awkward way, hence humour. He likes her too although he is too proud to show it early on. Will she succeed? Of course, she will . And that's what is worth looking forward to.

I'm watching it with great pleasure despite the not very good subtitles. I really like all the characters so far. They are all so different and feel realistic. The actors are very good and believable. It's a story about war and how it affects different people's lives. It stresses the importance of education and that heros are born not only on the battlefield. We learn it together with Cheng Jia Shu and through his eyes. What I really appreciate about this drama is that he isn't portrayed as an invincible hero. He's just an ordinary guy who suddenly finds himself amidst this turmoil. But he's changing, becoming more mature. Yet he is still mischievous at times and SO charming. Wang He Di is a very good actor. I just love his acting. And yes, he looks so handsome here. As for the other actors, they are very good as well. For example, Zhou Ye. I haven't seen any of her dramas, but I enjoy her performance. Well done. I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

Thank you so much.

Personally, I find this drama really boring. I've watched 6 episodes already and it doesn't live up to all the hype. Yes, the CGI is good and you see it's a big budget drama. But I can't relate to any of the characters. The female lead seems too obsessed with the evil demon that she is supposed to kill. She says she wants to kill him, yet seems more worried about his wellbeing. And then she just snuggles up to him to sleep. Does it make any sense? Then we are constantly told and shown how the male lead has been bullied. The viewer is just forced to take pity on him. Although the story moves on, it's actually tedious. So far the male lead lacks the devilish charm one would expect from such a character. As for the actors, I haven't seen any of their previous works and have absolutely no bias against any of them. Up to now there hasn't been anythings really impressive in their acting. Hopefully, it will it better and more interesting.

It's light and entertaining. The episodes are short. Bai Ma Shuai is cute, naive and eager to learn. 👍

Why does this come up again and again? Neither he nor his agency have commented on his relationship status. They issued a statement in autumn that the woman who accompanied him to recordings was not "a girlfriend" but an employee. That was it. They never said he was single or otherwise. As for shippers, they have "plenty" of evidence. But each "ship" says that every article of clothing he wears is a sure sign and he is telling us how much he loves their girl. It's just ridiculous. Just watch their dramas and shows. Support them if you like them, together or individually. Don't spread rumours and don't try to convince others that it's true. Personally, I'm of the opinion that who they date or love is none of my business. I'm interested in their work. Dylan himself is enough to keep me interested. He's charismatic, talented and so much fun to watch.

I think they also tried to establish a link with "Never give up", a modern drama that the same team worked on. So we will see them in a different era. 😊

I, actually, feel the same about the story. It wasn't interesting for me and the characters didn't click with me. Everybody has the right to like or not to like the show. Watching dramas is entertainment, not a school assignment. If you enjoy it, watch it. If you don't, drop it. As for glowing reviews, most of them are from fans. Yes, they need to show their support, but they can also be just a bit more objective.

You have every right. This can't be forced.

Great article!

The novel and the drama are very different. I read the book first and liked it. There's more adventure here. But I liked the drama much more. The characters have different aims here,which are less selfish. They are also better and more complex characters in terms of personality.

Agree with every word of yours.

It would have been less annoying to the audience if he had come from a modern novel. With the way he behaves, talks, toys with a mobile and even walks he is a totally fake ancient character.

It's a comedy. But while watching the first two episodes, I didn't smile once. The villain isn't fierce enough (not in action, but at least emotions and facial expressions). The female character is a bit annoying so far. Does she really need to raise her voice so often? And how is smart everyone? The guy reads books by quickly leafing through them and surely remembers all the stuff. The girl's shoe gets stuck and what does she do? Beg others for help for a record-breaking time in stead of just taking it off! She isn't qualified for a job, fails the interview, but of course, gets a job offer because she's the main lead. 🙄 The male lead is great at martial arts in her novel, but can he use magic as well? He literally flies up a high building and knocks two guys out by throwing some tiny button (?) at them! The comment isn't meant to offend anyone. The opinion is personal, like all the rest here.
