is this really deserving of 9+ or is it just because of Lu Si. I could barely get through eps 1&2 because of Lu Si's character. seeing the rating go up, makes me want to try it again
I think the "white hair" trope is pretty common in costume dramas...this one is actually pretty good.
if the supernatural was a part of it. but no characters in this series are immortals or have any super power, or use magic. for a 100% human to grow grey hair overnight is absurd.
Let me get this…No kiss…Absolutely, no kiss…Not even 2 yellow birds…This was drier than “The Long Ballad.”
I really liked Longest Ballad. although they weren't intimate they had great chemistry. but these two don't even have that. their relationship has seemed like a chess game.
this series has truly turned out to be a huge disappointment. so much potential turned into a big flop
this series has the stupidest military officials and strategists in all drama land. this strategist, and generals looked like gi joes toy figurines being controlled by kindergartners.
they lost me when the militant senior sister fell in love...
not much going on, fighting is subpar, I'm only on episode 2, but I think I'll be dropping it soon. it has a weird comedy vibe when characters are so stupid or outrageous , it's a turn off.
all the male leaders are fools. female master is weird.
there is no strong sensible character.
and I was really thrown off when the female master was trying to kill a kid
2 
it was crammed but we'll paced.
it should have been a series instead of a movie.
I loved the fight scenes.
This definitely was a good movie. for 1 I don't like watching movies in Cantonese but I watched the whole thing in one sitting.
ignore the rating and watch the movie.
lol season 2 better come out in September...
try it for yourself
Ep 43 preview has me on edge

there is no point of return for this series ...
it's all gone wrong. the story doesn't even make sense anymore
and I'm always questioning why the emperor kept the Di Sword in the palace if he deemed them traitors.
