I'll just go with the director did it, because handsome BL leads cannot be murderers. LOL. (Haven't read the novel, so I've no idea if I'm close or totally off).
And they're both very handsome, too. I like the premise, let's see if they deliver on it.
ETA It was bugging me that Tor looks so familiar but I haven't watched him in anything... Is it just me or does he really look quite a lot like Nam Joo Hyuk?
ZYC's isn't human any more and he survives. Wen Xiao is a goddess. Only PSJ is actually a full, normal human.
Umm, you might've missed the part where the actually powerful ones are the demons and gods? Not the regular humans? Nobody needs to keep in check Miss LuLu, keeper of the ducks at the inn. Or the innkeeper either, or the people selling stuff in the road booths. Whereas every time there's a red moon, Zhu Yan risks losing control and killing a bunch of innocent humans. Or Ran Yi - because he's hurt in his love life - goes out and drowns quite a lot of new brides (who did nothing to him in the first place). Or any other of the demons and gods they met, with the exception of A FEW of the mountain gods (because Zhu Yin also exists.)
Add to this that the DHB's actions - and Wen Xiao is part of it - are dealing with stopping the other (human) group from killing unjustly, so it's not quite one-sided as you might think.
Plenty of actual humans (and initially humans) die too - most of the Demon Hunting Bureau got taken out by ZY in his first rampage, then Wen ZongYu's plans killed who knows how many humans (and demons) while he's trying out his plagues and his collecting of demonical powers. And then WZY, Zheng Mei (his assistant), Wen Xiao's father - all originally human - also die.
But anyway, you believe you found a code in it and there's nobody who can convince you otherwise. It hurts nobody in the end, this is still a good drama.
I am rewatching EP 1 where Zhu Yan makes a grand entrance into the DHB and that cool exit from their dungeon.…
I keep showing those two scenes to people, someone asked me to send them the LYN OST link LOL, they were entranced by how well that song fits that amazing first fighting scene. I think I made two converts today, LOL, they were checking out the drama on YT already :D
Since I rarely saw comments about pei sijing compare to the three main leads, what are your opinions about her,…
She's damaged because of her brother's death. Everything she does is under very strict control, she doesn't let herself be free and emotional, and when she does, it's always with the soul of PSH/puppet.
Despite Wen Xiao's actions - and there were a lot of cute girl moments between them - she remained aloof and wary of them all. When she let herself open... they started dying.
I guess she's also there to suffer, as they were all - and we all, too, LOL.
ZYC's isn't human any more and he survives. Wen Xiao is a goddess. Only PSJ is actually a full, normal human.
He still has the markings in the final ep and in the extra, too. He's still a dragon.
Wen Xiao isn't tasked with punishing anyone, she's tasked with keeping both the Wilderness AND the human world at peace. If that means sometimes she has to judge and punish demons, it's not her main attribute. She's still an avatar to a goddess, not just someone off the street.
The message here is that everyone gets to be themselves and unaccountable to others as long as they don't go on a destructive rampage just because they can.
I guess everything is in the eye of the beholder after all.
The instrumental OP is fantastic, I much prefer a good instrumental to some pop song that doesn't ever fit the…
Considering the ending (that he told us from the beginning what it would be...), a melancholic theme is still better, IMHO :D They weren't even trying all that much for mysteries, I guess....
I am very confused as to why this is rated so high granted that I'm only halfway through the second episode but…
I fell in love with ONHCT at the first scene, here, it took me 5 eps (though I liked the first eps too, well enough to go on.) The vibe changes from the 6th ep onwards and makes this one of the best Thai drama I've ever watched.
Hang on through the first few simple cases, when it gets to the personal hurt/healing parts everything will become much, much better overall.
This year cdrama was full of angst... .Snowfall -the shadow Love of nirvanaSnowy night timeless love Kill me love…
SNTL also ends in a BE?! I wanted to see some Zeng ShungXi drama because he was such a ray of sunshine in MLC, you're telling me that story also ends in tears?! *sigh* dammit.
ML was the kindest of all demons. But since he was a great demon who was down in history as one who did the massacre…
Also, reputations are easily changed in stories.
Just take YingLong - he sacrificed his immortal life to save both humans and demons and everybody remembered him as a great and dangerous demon that his best friend had to kill - and BingYi as a hero of mankind, when he actually didn't even do it and then lived the rest of his life in seclusion because of it.
Retelling a story always changes it.
There were bad deeds Zhu Yan actually did... but there's always more than meets the eyes.

"You're my only "one" of "two" brothers".
Emo-tio-nal daaamaaaage!
"I can't film this anymore, go find your only "one" brother".
LOL, the jealousy is real :D
