It started off well but for some reason started to become boring in the middle. I think maybe bc of how repetitive it felt? Not all the cases connect and it doesn't always feel like we are detectives but rather being told than shown the things behind the cases. Also the last 6 or so eps shift into palace intrigue which idk if you would like. The characters don't feel as fleshed out either. The mains feel too perfect. But give it a try at least. You could like it like many others did. I mean, I like it, but it's not thaaat great imo. I will say it's refreshing to see a FL being a coroner and smart in many things to help with the cases, but it almost feels too smooth most of the time.

Beiming about the poison: It's not your [Xueman's] fault, nor is it Feng Qingzhuo's.
Me after he said that: I'm sorry, but it's both their fault. Xueman wanted to poison you, while Qingzhuo accidentally gave you the wrong poison. Why you gotta be this forgiving? ㅠㅠ
Me after the drama: I'm sorry, Xueman and Qingzhuo. You both did a good job. Thank you.

Frrr! L&R was my very first xianxia and I loved it whenever he appeared! He made it so much fun with all the suffering that was going on in that drama 🤣 The way he makes a snake sound too to show he is a snake would really get me 😂

Ngl I loved everything about it except some of the last eps (everything with that Hao Yue girl kinda felt unnecessary)... But I still rated it high bc it was very enjoyable throughout most of it and ended well too.

People saying Bai Shu doesn't fit the villain role and I kinda agree haha he really suits comical roles the best! Here's to my favorite role of his as Tengshe in Love and Redemption! He is just so iconic and unforgettable in this drama... like even if you didn't watch it, you'd prob come to love him with just this video edit of him 😂

Yes his best role for me is Love and Redemption! He is such an iconic character, forever unforgettable 🤪

All hail Tengshe aka Lord Flying Snake 😂

Oh pls no don't even mention that... 😭

Wait, the FL is dubbed? I loved her in I am Nobody... I love her voice and the way she speaks! She has a unique way of using her voice! Oh, this is a bummer! I will prob get used to it tho but I'm sad about this 🥺

I will just say you will fall in love with the MLs and their relationship with each other like some of us (including me)... They really have a beautiful relationship and their soulmatism I feel is rare to see and is truly one of a kind... Also, this is the queerest C-drama I have seen yet. MLs are sooo shippable (and I'm one of those shippers :D), and so are the FLs!

Dropped at ep 22 a few days ago, picked it back up, and now I'm finally enjoying it more. I guess taking breaks help in some way? Also, I looove the soldier gang (the one Heyan is teams with) so much! They definitely need more screentime. I tend to be up for the friendship / gangs in dramas so I think that was a bummer for me how little screentime they got. Anyways, I really missed them! So nice seeing them again (I'm on ep 25 rn)!

Yeah maybe he will end up with the SFL? It's funny bc they were both in Feud as well.

Anyways, I see you in TWD often... Gotta stay it will be nice to see the Huo Dairong actress again here!

Fun fact! Deng Kai's character at some point liked Julia Xiang's character in Love of the Divine Tree (that faded away eventually bc he finally found his own partner)~ Anyways, I loved their fun chemistry together 😆

Lol I decided to drop / put on-hold after ep 22 bc I was really not feeling the drama... I am mostly a completioner so I was thinking about getting back into it but watch it slowly (like one ep a day)... but idk anymore if nothing is progressing in the drama lmao 😅😭

Omg I rmr this and wanna look back at it... Which ep was this in again? 😭

Right? When I first saw him I was shocked lol... I'm like, I know it's him, but he really gives off a different vibe that it sometimes feels like I am watching a different actor LOL I mean kinda true bc that ain't his real body (even his face feels off) 😂😂

Here's my reaction 🤣 (I can't imagine Li Qing's reaction tho either OOF)

I can see why you say that. Maybe if I watch her in other dramas I might like her even more in the less comedic roles. Btw you got any drama recs of hers? This is the only one I've watched her in so far. I do look forward to a lot of her future dramas tho which seem to be less comedic!

I felt the same maybe it's bc of how choppy and messy it is and how the story is being told / displayed? I ended up dropping it but might pick it up again if I feel like it.

Oh, right! Ironically talking about this, Li Qing is in both dramas if you didn't know! He plays one of the ML's friends (and subordinate, whatever you call it), and he's really great here! I like him in LOTFG but I would say he feels much more natural here (prob due to no AI swap) which you seemed to not have seen any of yet, right? Lol not sure if you'd be curious at all but here's a small clip he's in for instance! It's actually funny bc Riley Wang feels very similar to himself in BFTB but at least he doesn't become an annoying SML in the end and stays consistent lol.

Oooh so you didn't enjoy the first ep bc it's too humorous for you? Honestly, I get it. I don't like the humor in American shows for instance. It's never my style. So if the comedy in the first ep is not for you, it's understandable. Maybe if it was to more of your style it would be more enjoyable for you. It either works or doesn't for people. I do like how they weave in more seriousness throughout the drama tho.

So who will remain the same in the cast? 🤨
