Started Out Wanting Blood, Ended Up Finding Brotherhood ࣪ ִֶָ☾.
This is my first favourite drama and i still can't get over with T.T
The cinematography is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking color grading and a strong sense of Chinese symmetrical aesthetics. The transitions between scenes are smooth, and each location—from bustling palaces to quiet forests—feels immersive. There's a poetic quality to every frame. The CGI is also impressively high-budget, and the costume and makeup design are meticulously crafted。
The drama goes far beyond romance. It weaves together deep, complex bonds—friendship, brotherhood, sisterhood, mentorship, and even the conflicting emotions between former allies. The relationship between the young demon hunter and the great demon adds layers of tension and emotional weight. The series examines whether demons are truly evil or simply beings shaped by circumstance
Beneath its surface, this show is heavy and melancholic, almost like a lyric poem rather than a typical idol drama. I found that strangely moving
The female leads are fine, but I never felt deeply invested in their arcs. The male leads and their supporting bromance ultimately steal the show. There's simply too much talking, especially in the later episodes. The slow conversations drag down the momentum. The finale is tragically beautiful, but it leaves many viewers with complicated feelings. It wraps things up with a sense of emotional weight, yet some questions remain unanswered, and the execution of the final scenes feels somewhat rushed
