Name a couple that you like and have seen. I am legit a walking Chinese drama dictionary with a search filter.
Holy damn you should probably watch it. Truthfully, it ain't much BL if you ignore most of it. It's honestly just a lot of eye flirting. Other than the flirtation, it's basically a better version of L.O.R.D Critical World (if you've seen that).
It's worth it for Chen Zhe Yuan's characters imo. He's so far carrying the entire series on his back.
Then again don't be too hopeful. Chen Zhe Yuan is the only one actually acting imo, but he might be annoying to some people. If you don't enjoy CZY then you should probably drop it honestly, since it kinda looks like Hu Yi Tian's character won't be... super interesting.
First 4 episodes review: 1. Aye, not too much prologue, we get straight to introducing our 2 main characters and set off their relationship. 2. Z.Tao's acting got better! At least so far, he isn't always so over the top. He still is, but at least those occasions make sense. 3. Jackson Yi is doing wonderful, as always. 4.Music is meh so far imo. 5. Costumes and visuals in general are pre- good. 6. Worth it? Yes. Not a definitive absolutely, but give it a try.
skimmed through 4 episodes and already dislike the show. will give this one amiss.
Continue it for Chen Zhe Yuan. He's carrying the whole series so far on his back. Give it more episodes, it looks like it'll get good, but I would understand why you would drop it.
It's honestly not worth watching. I can give a straight up summary for you if you want. No matter how much I spoil…
So it starts off with the ML killing a guy. You then learn that the 2 main leads live in their local wine shop that the FL runs. ML is desperate to join a sect, because he wants to learn a form of martial arts that'll help him live longer than 20 years (because of how he was born and stuff). He then meets a guy that might help him get into a sect. He passes the guys test, so the guy helps him. He arrives at the sect area, everyone is like "why can he enter the sect without taking the test that everyone has to take". He takes the test, passes it with flying colours. Everyone is impressed, except for one dude who is jealous. ML meets some side characters. You learn that the ML was born from some sort of spider web cocoon thing, has his own form of martial art with spider webs, and is the disciple of the master of some massacred sect. (which the only survivors are the FL and ML). You find out that the 2 leads want to get revenge on the people who massacred that sect. Each time they kill someone, the FL crosses off a lotus flower off a wall filled with lotus flowers representing their enemies (the ones with more power are represented by bigger lotus flower). ML then makes friends a dude, who is the son/prince of his enemy/king who massacred the sect master. During those events, his current sect master gets assassinated by the dude who was jealous of him in his entrance exams, and some female. The ML then hesitates to kill the king. FL gets mad at ML, asking him if he's a coward and stuff. FL is much more riled up about it because she is WAY older than the ML in the story, and therefore has more attachment to the sect master. ML can't make up his mind for the next couple of episodes. Until the end where I don't even know what happened, ML reaches the highest point of cultivation, goes back and declares to the king that he won't murder him. King let's him leave the palace. Pretty sure that the FL dies or something.
idek anymore. recently finished it and most of the ending and show in general just slipped by.
:( I was so excited to watch Li Xian again, but the reviews don't sound promising at all :( :(
The first couple of episodes were great, but then it just dips down and becomes basically unwatchable. I dropped it when it was airing, and only picked it back up and finished it today.
Scared to watch it. I heard the ending was terrible and it lacked chemistry between the leads. Has anyone seen…
It's honestly not worth watching. I can give a straight up summary for you if you want. No matter how much I spoil I promise you won't feel mad, because the show is honestly really disappointing when it comes to it's genre.
4 episode spoiler free review: 1. The acting is pretty.... meh. So far those who are tolerable while watching are the 2 male leads. And even that, one of them basically doesn't express any emotion. 2. The cinematography ain't something to praise, but it isn't bad either. 3. I absolutely love the sets and costumes. At least visually, the show looks good. 4. IMO, the only person keeping me watching is Chen Zhe Yuan. At least his character has been fun and smart and been doing interesting things. 5. One thing I'm worried about is how they're gonna pull off the "brother to brother" thing. This might be like the novel (I never read it), but like, from the OP and Closing clips, you barely see the two ML in a scene together. Is it like this is the novel, where they're just fully 2 completely different stories until the end? or like... Cause if that's the case, then I don't see the point staying for every episode if all we're gonna see is ML fighting ML. :/
Conclusion: It's too early to say whether this is droppable or not, but by the looks of it imma probs just skim through each episode to find the scenes with Chen Zhe Yuan, watch those, and leave the rest of the story be unless the plot takes a turn for both "factions".
The alter ego intrigued me too. I can't wait to actually see that side of Bai Qi be released.
Episode 19 preview shows Lin Xia discovering that Bai Qi's past lover looks like her. But aren't spirits turned after they find an obsession? Or do they stay spirits if they have an obsession, but the "spirit infection" has nothing to do with obsessions initially?

God can't believe it's been a year since the first series released.

Hope this year you'll get happy endings xd
(I swear at this point it's a running joke in the Vin Zhang fanbase about all his angst and stuff)
