Entertaining series, good for bingewatching. The story is interesting, using a tournament's approach to develop the events and what happens because of all the misunderstandings (typical in this type of drama). Despite the usual elements (triangles, misunderstandings, betrayals, etc.) the story is a great watch and I might even watch it again. The FL has a personality and dextrexity that do not match her "champion" title over seven years. However, the writer probably made her act cute to keep the audience interested.
Good drama in general. The story followed the similar dramas' framework but was well produced and an easy binge watch. The acting was also good in general and the main leads and most of the supporting actors did a good job keeping it interesting. So, it's a good drama for who enjoys the style.
Another (new) Korean drama that I stopped because it became boring due to the same stuff being repeated again and again. What happened to the cool stories such as Crash Landing on You and Rookie Historian? This one started well but became a drag.
It's season 4. Someone explained earlier that the producers are supersticious and don't like the number 4, hence…
I remember reading about it, and even why season 4 has a different name, in the comments sections of the different seasons. I do not recall which one specifically.
Really good drama and very underrated. The acting, production and soundtrack are top notch. The story has some silly scenes, such as those little tennis-ball-shapped little demons that merge to become a big pack man. Maybe the production wanted to cater to a wide audience? Neverthless, the story is very good and the production binge watchable. So, if you like the Xianxia genre, do not miss this one. The MDL rating is nonsense. This is at least a 9/10.
Just finished it. ZLY never disappoints. As expected, really good and very underrated here on MDL. Great combination of drama, humor and political struggles. There's some propaganda but it gets lost in the middle of excellent acting, direction, production and the overall plot. I highly recommend for who wants a glimpse of life in China.
Still watching it This is a good series. The production is meticulous, great acting and soundtrack. The only thing giving me some mixed feelings is the story. It has great moments but others are way too childish. Neverthless, it has been a great binge watch.
This is an excellent drama. The story, acting and production are outstanding and a bit different than the typical…
This series reminded me a bit of the Game of Thrones plot, where the author did not spare main leads during the story. It also did not have any romance and focused on the male lead's revenge plot, which lasted up to the last minute. Bloodbath is an understatement and the company that supplies fake blood must have made a killing (pun intended) selling its stuff.
This is an excellent drama. The story, acting and production are outstanding and a bit different than the typical series. Great binge watch and plot twists. More remarks on the spolier-marked sequence.
Cheng Yi's dramas are boring. I had started one and dropped it at episode 1. Like the acting and storyline went…
If you want something without romance, then give The Vendetta of An a try. I'm in the middle of it and at the rate the characters die, there's no chance for that. Did you watch Game of Thrones?

I'm watching The Vendetta of An, also with CY that is a different style (not fantasy) and, for me, better than WoF and S&B. But, again, my preference. I'm with you on the waste of time. If the drama cannot keep me entertained I drop it. The Lotus Casebook was OK but not at the same level of these other three.

It's matter of preference. LYX gives a more intense vibe than CY. He probably learned playing roles in live theater? For me both are very good and usually fit their roles well. I like to watch the overall final effect and, again, for me, if I compare both series, I also prefer Sword and Beloved. Whispers of Fate had some very long ones and still left some stuff open. Maybe they are planning a second season? That would be nice.
This sounds like a storm in a tea cup steered by folks who want to mess with the actress. She was injured and rightfully went to the hospital but her assistant stayed there to take care of everything. If the police was there at the moment, they would also have taken her first to the hospital.

The start is awesome, as expected from dramas with Yang Zi.
