I am absolutely loving it so far! i like how Zhao Ling and Fu Tingyun handle the evil characters. They do not hold back in giving the villains a taste of their own medicine. Whenever someone tries to harm them, they strike back immediately! I love how sometimes they cleverly involve other people to do the work!
it's on Viki and Netflix so those are two big platforms. could also pick out several things from Viki and pay…
not available in my country. i always have active and paid accounts for viki, mango, wetv , youku and iqyi. and netflix from my family... but nope... at least not yet
Zhou Shen has nailed it again! the closing song of each episode is so magnificent, emotional and his voice is just like a lullaby to me! i am not skipping the end credits just to listen to it. i hav3 added it to my 2026 fav songs on spotify! 😍😍😍😍
I agree that the repetitions could have been condensed , and some reactions of our FL written in the script were…
i didnt know they lifted the 40 ep cap in 2025? one of the reason i was drawn to chinese dramas is the nimber of episodes, so when they limited that to 40 i wasn't the happiest .. splitting dramas in several seasons, making the audience wait for a year or 2 for the sequel, or cutting scenes to make it fit in 40 episodes, has made us watching in pain, sometimes deprived by a piece of narrative which we were expecting to see.. and it was not. thanks for.your comment 🙏
Completed all the episodes, never expected tan jianci act so well in comedy genre. He is 100/10 effortlessly...…
totlly agree! tjc is a very talented artist and can do comedy effortlessly. i was not a big fan of the FL actress, however i have now re considered as she too is a natural, can give a wide range of facial and voice expressions, as expected from an actor. well done to both. this drama is not not even an 8 for me, as much as i would love to give a higher score, because both editing, terrible AI face swap and consequently cutting scenes, unfortunately that compromise the overall experience as part of the package. at least for.me. but, yes, a full 10 to the acting skills of both and to the old-.married couple vibe/bickering between the leads. they support each other while growing together. a very realistic healthy and mature relationship! 💯👏
No one said ML did correct. Its called understanding two different perspectives. We understand his perspective…
love your comment and i agree, she too did him wrong by hiding a big truth from him. hiding the truth in general is one of the trope i dont like in dramas... i still watchthem, but yeah, i personally prefer when both leads are i sync and honest to each other. other than that, thsi drama is one of the best i am watching this year, even with this drama trope 😊
I'm also rewatching first ep today and suddenly understand so many things
yes indeed, the narrative of this drama is very special. we only got to understabd the real power of that tree in the last episode or 2... rewatching from the beginning will definitelly have more sense!

i have started rewatching since the last few episodes as there wereso many changes that i wasnt able to follow it up.. but you gave me a good idea as i too should rewatch ep 1
unexpectedly i really like this drama, i am usually more into historical rather than fantasy. So, besides the beauty of it, which is undeniable (actors , make up , costumes, photography... all), it is engaging me, it makes you question everything you had believed to be correct up to the previous episode.. each character role is rotating, one was good in one episode, just to turn a villain the next, and then back again being good and so on... 🤪 I had dropped FoF at 2 thirds of the drama, but with this one i haven't, as i am differently engaged, i am investing time in it and rewatching episodes to try to understand it better (by the way the last 5 minutes on ep 22 were my favourite ones of the whole drama! great acting/special effect/ the angst ! i just LOVE IT!!!
