I do not know the exact schedule. I noticed how some days 2 episodes air and other days only 1 episode airs (like the past 2 days). But thank you for letting me know. Guess I have 2 episodes to binge-watch tomorrow while having lunch. ^^
I did not check the schedule, since the past 2 days only 1 episode came out I assumed tomorrow only 1 would come out too but it seems like I was wrong. YAY ^^
If it was not for the ending this would have been a pretty ok short drama.
Although the plot was nothing new or anything, it was interesting to watch. The ending ruined everything and it is probably the main reason why this has such a low rating when there are worse short dramas out there.
This is a well made drama if you want to watch it for the wuxia and fantasy part of it. I personally am not a huge fan of these 2 genres but from time to time I find some dramas with these genres that I quite like so I decided to give this one a try.
The story is told from the male lead’s perspective, he is the MAIN character, making this one already different from most dramas that will usually have the female lead be the center of the story.
With that said, if you are looking for romance, this might not be for you. I did not read the novel but it is pretty obvious the novel has harem because you will be seeing random female characters show up left and right around the male lead. I don’t know how they handled the romance in the novel, but in the drama he has only one love interest, the "female lead".
Why use " " when referring to the female lead? Well, she first shows up at the end of episode 6. For 6 episodes she does not even exist in the plot. After she shows up she will not appear in every episode and in many episodes she will show up for only a few short scenes. There are several other female characters that show up as often if not more often than the "female lead".
Also, the way her character was written was as if she is only there to be the male leads’ love interest, that is when he is not busy doing something else and be an excuse for him to want to go up the ranks. Her character has no real value to the plot.
The ending did not feel like an ending to me but at the same time I was not excited for a second season.
My conclusion is that this is a well made drama and for sure is loved by a lot of people like you can see from the ratings, reviews and most of the comments. But it might not be for everyone. Unfortunatelly, it was not my cup of tea. :(
Omg my memory was so good before but I feel like it's declining faster than it should is it cuz I'm flooding it…
hahaha, I have watched thousands of dramas since 2010 when I first started, 14 years of drama watching are the reason my memory is not as good as it used to be? I regret nothing.
Now being serious, recent years have really messed with our heads, aside from aging, not sleeping enough, having a bad diet, not training our brain often, stress, covid, so many things can have a negative influence on our brain. Social media with the short videos is ruining our ability to focus and be patient and AI is making us dumber, unable to think for ourselves. Our brains are constantly being overloaded with information and most of it is useless. ^^'
Btw, am I the only one who thought Heo Nam Jun was wasted on the character he played here? He gave off serial…
Yeah, it was pretty obvious the writers wanted them together, they would be making her trip and fall into his arms, can’t get more obvious than that.
What I meant is the actor would have done a great villain because the look on his eyes and certain gestures made him look like a psychopath. It felt like a waste that his character had so little importance in the plot.
To me, this was one of the best kdramas of 2024...which does not mean much since 2024 was not the best year for…
Btw, am I the only one who thought Heo Nam Jun was wasted on the character he played here? He gave off serial killer vibes way too many times to not be a bad guy. XD

It started well and kept me interested for most of it BUT I was able to predict most things pretty early on and found the last few episodes to be underwhelming compared to the rest of the drama.
Worth watching but if it was not for the last few episodes I would have given it a higher rating.
These are a hit or miss for me. Some in this list I have really liked and even re-watched while others bored me to death or just felt pretty average (Love Song in Winter being the most recent case of it). A Dream within a Dream seems like it will be my cup of tea, cannot wait for it to air.
There were already so few Chinese dramas for me to watch at the end of the year and something like this is what we get. There is nothing noteworthy about this one. The plot is not interesting and is full of clichés and I can’t say the characters were likable either. I felt no chemistry between the leads, they might as well have been just friends. Tagging this as a thriller/mistery is almost a crime. There was nothing thrilling about this much less any mistery surrounding it since it was pretty obvious from the start who the bad guy was.
Idk, maybe if this was a 2010 drama it would be acceptable, but in 2024/2025 this one brought nothing to the table. Overall it is an average drama that you can watch if you have nothing else to watch.
No, she said she was on her period and it was not convenient but told him to rest in the room, so he probably just passed out drunk and slept there. They did not even kiss, much less have sex.
As expected this season was a joke. I knew it would be draggy since they had a 3rd season yet to come but it was worse than I expected. This was basically an introduction to season 3. If I knew it would end like that I wouldn’t have watched it.
I don’t mind this being "old" (2018 was not that long ago lol) or having not so good cgi like some people are saying. Honestly, I have seen worse and still enjoyed those dramas because the plot was interesting.
But here the plot is just bad. I tried to watch for as long as I could but my only two thoughts were "boring" and "ridiculous". Like something written by a kid with a great imagination.
Maybe this was too out there for my taste but I really cannot understand why anyone would enjoy this sort of plot, specially when it has 40 episodes. I skipped to the last episode when I could not take it anymore and the way it ended did not help. ^^'
P.S. - This is just my opinion, maybe it is a matter of personal taste.
For a short drama this was pretty good if you go in with the right expectations.
The plot is nothing new, it is very cliché, but if you want a sweet romance with a happy ending to have a break from all the heavier dramas and if you enjoy dramas like The Eternal Love, you will probably like this one. The actresses playing the FLs in these 2 dramas even look alike and play characters with similar personalities.
So if you liked The Eternal Love you will probably enjoy this short drama for what it is. Remember, there is nothing new here, it is just a feel good drama with lots of sweet romantic scenes. The production was also pretty good for a short drama.
I love love love this movie! I will never not watch it lol. This is how disgusting human beings should be dealt…
My biggest problem with his method is that by constantly letting him go he put other people at risk causing more people do die, get hurt and traumatised. He should have locked him up somewhere and tortured him for a long time. He could have released him, letting him think he got away, and then lock him up again.
At the end I felt like the killer was right - he won. No matter what the main lead did, the pain he inflicted was not even close to the pain and destruction the kiler brought him, his victims and their families. I think that is probably why the ML cried like that at the end, it was mix of relief that he was finally done with his revenge mixed with the realization that nothing he did would take the pain away or bring back what he lost, be it the people he cared about or himself.
