wonderful mix of hilarity, tragedy, action, romance, and friendship

WOW I just finished and I already don't know what to say. What can you say about a show as amazing as this one?

I love wuxia/xianxia and was excited to see that there was a kdrama with a similar genre/world and this did NOT disappoint. The action scenes are easily some of the best I have ever seen, with the training montages adding some extra badassery and certain other fights adding some humor in.

I really don't recall any major issues, other than the fact that I hate Jin Mu and having to see his face so much was not that fun lmao. Everything else was endlessly entertaining, all of the characters having depth and intriguing story lines (even the ones I didn't like). There were so many interesting connections between the characters and plot lines, even late into the show I was finding myself surprised by how intricately tied together everything was.

I really loved most of this cast. I want to say my favorite characters were the mains, but I don't think I can really pick--with other characters like Seo Yul, Park Danggu, Jin Choyeon, Park Jin, and Maidservant Kim just to name a few around, it's impossible to choose. The acting of everyone in this series was so strong, whether it was humorous or serious, I never felt pulled out of the story.

And now I'm desperate to watch season 2 lol
