This drama is so wholesome. Lan Jing Hui seems like a carefree troublemaker, but he's the most thoughtful one. He's loyal, funny, and dependable through difficult times. His influence is transformative. You can see how he transforms Ling Dong and Xiao Xiao Hua, especially.
And Ling Dong? Classic school topper energy. Notably, the actor is academically accomplished irl as well. Just check his MDL page.
Xia Qing Tian is cute and bubbly. At first, I thought she's gonna paired up with her deskmate they're cute together fighting like Tom&Jerry. But it's ok they don't have that much engagement later on, so it's not a big deal.
The drama is heavily BL coded. Aside from their interactions, there's an MDZS wallpaper in XXh's room, which feels like a deliberate hint. Can I say they're the modern version of LWJ and WWX !? Whether or not if you're into Bromance or BL, you're definitely gonna love it.
Watching censored or BL dramas disguised as bromance is really fun. You need to alert your sixth sense all the time to catch their small gestures so you can be sure it's a disguised BL. There's a difference between "bros being bros" and "bros being more than bros." You've to find it yourself.
Love Ren Jia Lun's voice here, and Fate Chooses You. Sure, some people criticize it, but I think it's pretty good.…
Xuan Ye's father is kind-hearted. He gave him moon bugs without knowing the connection between them before. But, when Xuan Ye reveals his past relation, he seems to understand him, yet there's this gap that can't be bridged. It's like Xuan Ye is from another world, and he let him go where he truly belongs. I'm not saying him that he should forcefully keep him there, but his tone suggested that if he left, it would be the best. Like he's saying, "Don't let your mother and brother know about this." Why? Is he afraid that Xuan Ye might hurt his family? So, when he saw the Taofu, it looked like he could fix it but hesitated. Probably, the past bonding is really gone. Only a gap between humans and demons exists. So, no matter how good a demon is, they can't coexist. And now that Taofu is broken for continuous use, Xuan Ye can't use it anymore to travel between two realms whenever he wants. Once he leaves this mortal realm, he has to wait for 12 years.
The whole tone shifts in the last few episodes. If the previous episodes were a dream, and in the last few episodes, we're waking up from that dream.
Now I'm thinking after ep 34 perspective, if I want a happy ending, what could it be like?! Relationships need a little compromise, but theirs would require sacrifice, especially for Xuan Ye. And I'm not biased, but I really don't want Xuan Ye to give up everything and live in the mortal realm, especially knowing his original father is dead and the realm needs him. Xuan Ye tied to his realm, while Ban Xia kept telling him to live with her. She never once mentioned living in his world. That feels a little self-centered. She has her family, her comfort, and all the things she wishes for in the mortal realm, which she doesn't want to leave, I think. While he has his duty. She's the first one to let him go. So, I think it ends kind of logically. They have love, but no path forward.
The Real Felicity sword probably played a part in how their relationship turned out like this. Remember when Xuan Ye said, " Perhaps we have already lost something very important without even realizing it." 💔
When Banxia took him to all their old places and watched snow together, I really thought she was going to take advantage of her parents' absence and run away with him. Who've thought she had another plan. What if she were a little brave like before and left with him? She lived with her parents for 19 years. What if she lived with him another 12 years and met her parents after that? Those 12 years are making of her, not breaking of her and teach her that home can be more than one place. How beautiful that would be.
Or, my version of ending 😂 in epi 34, both brothers kill that two-faced shishu. Then, they save the Carefree Realm by using moon bugs. Zi Kong becomes their lord. Xue Ying gets to use the Taofu to travel between the two realms whenever needed, with no time limits or drawbacks. After that, he marries Banxia, leaves Guangping City, opens a medicine shop, and they've children who are as powerful as their father and gentle & brave like their mother. Thanks to Zi Kong, the demons in line for another 12 years. Our ML is happy with his cute family, always on standby to hunt demons whenever duty calls. P.S . Was that a rabbit munching radishes at night that Banxia bought from the market? Never mind that rabbit is just like that. Turns out baby Banxia adopted him earlier. He's officially family now.
Or, make the director transmigrat and experience the ending firsthand. Then we'll talk about what they put us through.
Love Ren Jia Lun's voice here, and Fate Chooses You. Sure, some people criticize it, but I think it's pretty good.
This drama is so amazing. Banxia's character growth really well up to 34 epi, and I would've given it a high rating, but they served me pineapple pizza at the end, which made my soul cry. 🥲
Hello, I've been waiting to watch this, love Allen dramas but lately the opened or sad ending ones for him i could…
Romance isn't the main theme here. It's about his journey from a cursed war demon trying to break the curse and live as a normal human being to finally accepting his identity for the greater good.
Their bond grows through trust, shared struggle & sacrifice. It's not about typical romance but about understanding each other through shared hardship. All I can say is they've a mature, sweet relationship.
I loved the ending since they reunite. No sad ending. So, I'd say it's worth watching.
I was thinking the same thing. He felt it all the other times so why not this time?
In my perspective, in ep 1, he got married and made a blood pact. I think that pact was bound to his "original blood essence." Then, in ep 30, he sacrificed his "essence blood" and succeeded in renewing it as part of the 5 trials to become human. So, once his blood was renewed, the pact broke, and he probably couldn't feel her pain anymore.
That moment when he was finally able to see color, that faint smile and his expressive eyes said more than words ever could. It was absolutely priceless. ❤️ He's so good at micro expressions.
This is my first RJL's drama and I think Pond kinda looks like him.
What I admire most is how they resolve issues through honest conversation instead of stretching it over ten episodes of a "misunderstanding arc." Refreshing to see leads written with depth and maturity. The screenwriter also slipped modern-day issues into the story so smartly. Best Xianxia watch in a while. <3 I've rewatched ep 1 like hundred times, especially the wedding scene. They look absolutely stunning together.
"Even if my memories are gone, even if I'm gone, as long as this heart is here, everything remains." - Lu Qian Qiao And the ending proved fate - he erased her memories before, and she still fell for him. So even after he lost his memory this time, he would fall for her again. Heart will remember what the mind forgets.
Both actors are good-looking and talented. One has a masculine appeal, while the other is cute and charming. I enjoyed their fighting scene in the office.😂
The scriptwriters of these short dramas have a great talent for creating cliffhanger endings.
The plot is full of unexpected twists and a bunch of crazy characters to deal with. It contains violence, so be ready for it. Otherwise, it's worth giving it a chance.
Strong bromance with great writing and performances. Professor Jiang and Cop Ye had incredible chemistry. Jiang's role kept me on edge, but he pulled off the dual role perfectly.
Yan Zi Xian's hairstyle is stunning and suits him perfectly. Not everyone can pull off this silver hair. A Yu's sword, fluet, and his action single handedly remind me of both Zhou Zi Shu and Wen Ke Xing. This drama is pure Word of Honor nostalgia. Anyway, a beautiful drama was ruined at the last moment due to censorship!
I'm usually not into dramas with ending like this, but if I do pick one in the future, I hope it doesn't turn out like this drama where FL died without seeing ML or reading his letter, and she never finds out Huo Zhan Bai doesn't hold it against her for the fake prescription. That's unfortunate!
After the 3/4 of the episodes, the ML has no secen with the FL. It feels like his part is over, and a new story starts with a new ML (I mean with 2nd ML).
Also, the Medicine Valley had an ice cave where they could've preserved her body, knowing Huo Zan Bai would come. At least they could've let him see her for the last time wearing the wooden hairpin he gave her. FL has to die as there's no solution for the poison she takes in rather than transfer it person to person. Considering the FL's character, she wouldn't let someone else take it for her so, a tragic ending feels like the most fitting conclusion but I didn't like the way they did in the drama sadly. If they twist the ending a little bit, it could've been the best drama.
Both ML and FL excessively prioritized others over themselves. They forgot about their own happiness & well-being and wasted their golden moments - she's in her twenties, and he's in his early thirties. They lacked self-love, basically.
One thing I really like is the snowy landscape and their medicine valley.
After Fangs of Fortune, this is my second time watching Chen Du Ling in this drama. Her character every time feels like she's just there to bypass censorship. Though I don't like female characters in bromance drama much, especially if they're clingy to ML. But I have to compromise sometimes. Otherwise, I can't be able to see some great dramas.🥲
Anyway, I really love the narrative arc of Li Xiang Yi's transformation into Li Lian Hua. Just like the symbolism of his name, Lian Hua or Lotus Flower, he was reborn as an invincible sword master to a miracle traveling doctor after the battle of the East Sea. And now he's yearning for a simple, tranquil existence, far removed from the intrigues of jianghu. To be honest, I tuned in just for Lian Hua's storyline because other scenes are really bland.
And Ling Dong? Classic school topper energy. Notably, the actor is academically accomplished irl as well. Just check his MDL page.

My fav line from this drama is, "This script is truly ridiculous." Ep-32
Ding Yu Xi's big doe eyes are so cute, like a puppy ❤️ but here he looks like a cute cat

Wen Ke Xing's flute has a melancholic melody, yet it's so soothing ♥️
