I need more. That Wang Hua scene lasted like, 5 seconds, and the tease at the end. I really hope it gets a second season, or else the ending feels a bit empty. I usually don’t mind when MC’s don’t know martial arts (like JBZ/WH in his current state), but the fact he used to be the best of the best in swordplay (1v50+) makes me really want him to at least remember his martial arts skills.
Back for a rewatch. And holy shit the last time I watched it was before I went back to China. After going back to China after 7 years, coming back to Canada and rewatching this, there's so many undertones, controversies, discrimination and issues the show speaks so clearly and well about. Yet I couldnt understand it or even see it before experiencing it for myself.
I'm up for this. I really hope there's some magical power fights cause it's been a while since something good along the lines released that wasn't part of the TMoPB saga.
Came back after a year since my last comment, still no news of a third season. It's been 3 years so I doubt there is gonna be one. Hopefully at least The Dark Lord gets a second season, or else it won't be doing Joe Xu justice.
hmmmmm.... the light of this drama, is getting darker!! have they even started production yet?
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that season one and two were all filmed at once. It was planned for all 70+ episodes to be aired at once, but they ended up making it 2 seasons instead.
Lead guy is a typical Clark Kent hero with no personality and he’s boring as hell. I personally find the second…
I find them both to be really great. Second lead shines in his stand alone scenes because he's usually in battle. He's honestly what I find a really great version of the "all muscle no brain" type of characters, because he is intelligent when it comes to other things. He becomes comic relief next to main lead, not reduced imo, because the main lead's character is quite somber and brooding. Main character seems to be very basic, because in some ways, he really is. In theory, he's a person born 8 years ago as the story starts, and learned everything he knew from books written by the same author. Both characters balance each other, and make each other better. And the best part, both actors do a phenomenal job at their respective characters with the material they have.
I had the exact thought. She should have been the main female lead in this. First, her body is much more fluid…
I semi agree with that. Personally if she took on this project, that means she would have had to ditch Ancient Detective, and holy damn AD is currently my favourite show. But the dynamic between her and Arthur would have been great to see.
I really want to watch this for Cheng Xiao but I'm super confused by the difference between the comments and the…
Chen Xiao basically doesn't exist if you don't want her to. The rest of the cast is usually enjoyable. And keep in mind she is still a newbie to acting and it doesn't seem like she had training, so who knows, she might improve.
Still working my way through case 3 but seems to getting a bit repetitive? Is it murders all the way down?
It's repetitive but I didn't get tired of it. Pretty sure one case lasts 4-5 episodes if I'm not wrong. Last 6 episodes next week should close our main plot, so I honestly think you won't be missing much if you don't want to watch the rest of the cases and could skip to the last 4 episodes next week.
Personally , the show overall was okay. Lots of things I hated, like FL and obvious foreshadowing and plot points, but it wasn't all bad and I don't regret watching it.

Edit: Never mind, searched it up. Interesting concepts.

Hope season 2 comes out soon.
