With the latest episodes intense moments out aside, I just love the overall fluffy, light and cute vibe the drama has going. Can't help but smile while watching.
I was pretty meh towards the FL in the first 2-5 episodes, but damn, I love her now. Both main leads are wonderful ~
The second lead is just so... middle school romance~ Can't wait to see more of them.
A Li is as innocent as ever. I swear if something happens to him I wakuhaksiujrfhakjshrgjk
Reeeee it's gotten better than I expected in 12 episode <3
Unlike season 1, Long Qing imo is actually watchable ~
Dylan Wang has been amazing so far. The only critic I have is that I feel like his NQ is a bit too "smiley", yknow? Not bad, or good. Not expecting that to change either, and it's fine.
One thing I gotta mention though, which is just personal taste is that: Me No See Enough Demon Powers (lmao) Cmon NQ, you got those demon powers, use em. I know you don't like to, but you legit said in season 1 that all the magic/martial arts you cultivatin' currently is turned into demon arts. (ah. guess we gotta make demon magic CGI budget sacrifices for those sweet, sweet shots and choreo.)
First Episode Review [MINI SPOILER]: 1. I hated the beginning recap, where they reshot all the scene with Dylan Wang and didn't acknowledge Arthur Chen's existence. Like, just say he got older or something, so thats why he looks different. smh. I get why they did it though, but I'm not a fan. 2. Despite comment 1, I quite enjoyed Dylan Wang in the role of Ning Que. He brings the same energy Arthur did, just more caring and "lighter". You feel the character difference, but in my opinion it isn't unpleasant. 3. The editing was rushed it seems. Some scene were good, like the MINI SPOILER [ Prince Long Qing vs Ning Que,] END OF MINI SPOILER but others, like the part where he extinguishes the fire, was edited terribly. You can see the camera move. 4. Most of the new cast brings the "same but different" energy, so in my opinion the cast, new and old, are good, EXCEPT FOR THE KING. I do NOT KNOW WHY. BUT HE FEELS SO OFF FOR SOME REASON TO ME. I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT.
I'll for sure be watching the whole season. but one can obviously tell the thrill you got from season 1 might be a bit lacking here.
The real 'Child of Darkness' turns out to be Sang Sang I heard...What does that make Ning Que?
In the novel, Ning Que is the savior.
They basically represent Light and Dark/Ying and Yang, but like, reversed.
what I mean is Sang Sang's personality is fluffy and light and stuff, but she's the darkness, while Ning Que is dark and brooding, with immense power, but he's the light.
The new less dramatic trailer gives off a very Goblin vibe. Especially the part where they're using telekinetic powers to control pillows to *prepare for battle*
First 8 episode quick spoiler free review! (As a note, Bai Yu and Ji Xiao Bing are both pretty well known for their bromance/BL characters lmao.)
1. The female lead was honestly kind of annoying in the first episodes, but I like her better afterwards~ 2. The music is not bad, but not amazing either. I still enjoy it tho. 3. A Li is so fucking adorable and innocent-- 4. I personally haven't really felt the main couple chemistry at the beginning (it does get better after 5 episodes) . Conclusion: I feel it's lacking fantasy elements, since I'm a big fantasy/historical/supernatural watcher. I expected more, but hey, if you like cute romance stories with a tiny hint of fantasy, then give this a try.
I'll probably be watching it to the end but if the story drags, I have a higher chance at dropping it simply because cute love stories usually aren't my thing.
I like it, but personally I would have preferred if the show was just a tad darker and if the male lead was a bit more "competent", y'know. But hey, it's still good.

I still miss Arthur Chen// but hey, Dylan Wang ain't bad.

Was it just fan service or a tease to season 2?
I really hope that wasn't just fan service. It'll be cool to see a "dark" side Zhan Yao in season 2.
