If you are dissatisfied, blame the producer Yu Zheng, it's his production and he's a screenwriter so maybe he messed with it. You can't just blame her when you don't know what happened. She clearly can write. She has three dramas in 2025, A Moment but Forever got a douban of 6.9, that's not bad.

This screenwriter has done some good works in the past. Her other drama in 2025 Demon Hunter Romance did well. It received Douban 7.5. She is also the screenwriter for Arsenal Military Academy which did very well too.

He's all about money. I do believe he's taking advantage of Bai Lu's immense and undeniable popularity. Every drama she does is super popular and profitable. He's worked her so hard, she requested to take several months off after Mo Li, to take care of her health. I think her friends told her about ancient medicine can help her, and ancient medicine is not like you pop a pill, it usually takes long time as it's natural.

Perhaps, Yu Zheng’s audacious claim that his script surpasses Goblin, one of the most iconic K-dramas of all time, may have set unrealistic expectations.

I didn't watch Perfect Match but based on what you said, I'm going to check it out.

His acting, physical presence, and expressions carry a Shakespearean stage presence that draws me into his character, and his voice complements it. I think that’s why he was so good in TD—it suited his character perfectly.

Liang Yong Qi is using his own voice since it has no voice actor listed for him. It does have that same melancholy tone as in TD.

She’s a solid performer, but she always seems to end up in supporting roles. Maybe this role will help her land more Xianxia projects.

She got slimmer, which enhances the aesthetics with all those layers in fantasy costumes. Watching her in modern dramas, I noticed her well-proportioned figure, which makes her seem taller than her actual 5'5" I feel like she has blossomed late? She seems so pretty now and graceful too. I hope that is not taken as a negative.

I wonder if that's He Rui Xian's own voice. Even if it's not, it suits her character really well. The ominous tone in the voice matches the character's presence—calculating, deceptive, and quietly dangerous. She may be the antagonist that drives the plot tension or complicates the dynamics between the leads. I hope she goes full-on wicked and delivers a memorable villainous role—even if her arc were to eventually turns toward redemption. She sends her shadow—a phantom in the darkness, unseen and unstoppable—to kill in the dead of night. Ruthless and chilling. She smiles sweetly, embracing her own cruelty like an old friend. I'm not sure, but I think this may be her first Xianxia flying around and wielding a sword and wearing fantasy costumes.

Although a heat index on a platform reflects engagement within that specific platform, such as iQiyi or Tencent, but does not necessarily correspond to global popularity.

According to Koala's Playground, in his characteristic brand of self-elevating grandeur, he claimed the script was better than the critically acclaimed 2016 K-drama Goblin in one of his rants.

I'll check it out

sounds like a real tearjerker to me

they may have intentionally made it subtle in case they want to make season 2, or some writers like to keep audience pondering, it's part of the intrigue

that's what I said ! The return of Master Gao in season 2! They made it that way to pave way for his comeback. It fits the nature of this series.

I see what you mean, there were tons and tons of 5's so they must have removed a lot of 5's and there were few 1's so they kept all the 1's driving the average score down significantly? They do this on MDL too, that's why it may be better to give a drama a 9 or 9.5 instead of perfect 10??

anything over 300K at his juncture is explosive because it means it will most likely get to 500K

Wei Yingluo, an embroidery maid, was not your classic heroine, but a dynamic, rule-breaking anti-heroine. Portrayed by Wu Jinyan in her iconic role, which earned her multiple awards, including three Best Actress awards, she was spirited, shrewd, and fearless—combative, sharp-witted, and audaciously cunning, with a bold, defiant nature. Driven by vengeance and justice, she thrived on strategy and manipulation, refusing to bow to authority. With unwavering determination, she rose through the ranks, outmaneuvering rivals and asserting her place in the Forbidden City. "The Story of Yanxi Palace was the most googled TV show in the world in 2018, despite Google being blocked in Mainland China, and was streamed over 15 billion times on iQIYI that year."
