A nice adventure
Okkk...this is my dream come true drama. Every comic-drama fan has that one story they love and one actor they love and wish their paths crossed and he becomes the lead for it. This one's mine!My entry to comic world was through Douluo Dalu (Soul Land). And my favorite actor since The Untamed, Xiao Zhan. And when you know HE is going to p,ay the lead role, what more to ask? 😁😁
The story was close enough to the comic and the effects were good, nothing looked fake. Production quality is good. The story does not lag. You can see feel character development quite well.
Cast wise, it was 8/10. They played their roles well. However, my one complaint would definitely be the age. The story follows young teenagers. And the cast was well, fully grown adults in their 20s and 30s. Do they go well together? Yes. But does it fit the original story? No. Then again, the acting was on point, so can't be sad.
Songs were good. Especially 'Youth on Horseback' (biased but duh! Obvious of Xiao Zhan 😏🤭)
If you love action and friendship and fantasy and magic all packed into one, this is it. Rewatch worthy of you are into the entire championship and leveling up thing. Ya, would recommend this adventure 👍🏻

Cute
A simple sweet story with your regular poor girl rich guy and love triangle trope. But it is adorable to watch. The story is pretty predictable. A cutesy type love story with goofy moments here and there. Yes, nothing too good or too bad.It was my first CDrama so I guess that's why 24 episodes wasn't too much.
Amy Sun and Zhao Zhiwei are cute together, especially the height difference. The hidden identity part wasn't bad, not like 'Come on, are you blind?' Mm, the acting of all cast was good; again nothing special but good. I mean, who can deny a fan girl and celebrity's star crossed love story.
The song 'Hear the love you whisper' was a good song. I still play it.
Ya, conclusion : a binge watch worthy, cute feel good drama 👍🏻

Must watch K-Drama!
If you haven't watched this rom-com, what are you waiting for? Go watch it now!I cannot talk of romance and comedy together and not bring this drama up. Because it's among the og ones. A narcissistic CEO, overdramatic and low EQ 😂 and his very much capable and mentally stable secretary.
Park Seojoon is indeed a rom-com king. He really does this genre well. His face, body language, deserves a good applause. Park Minyoung is amazing as well. Every scene we can see her being done with her boss 😁 the side characters were great too. The office staff, the bodyguard, main lead's friend, they are all exactly were they need to be, doing exactly what they need to do.
The chemistry is realllyyy good. Ya, that is a big plus point. Especially when the overdramatic scenes calm into something more tense, the spark definitely wouldn't go unnoticed. Intimate scenes - good job hehe 😏😏
Yes! There you are. A good family drama to watch. I'd say one episode a day is the best way to watch 👍🏻

An EPICCC!
Gosh!!! If you are looking into Asian dramas and this isn't in your top 5 at least, we just cannot be friends. This is just what every viewer can everrr wish for. Where do I start, where do I stop? Because every time I finish, I want to rewatch it again. It's a form of existence at this point. Rewatched 5 times, 6th time soon!The plot was sooo refreshing! It keeps surprising you. I was introduced to the MDZS universe (Mo Dao Zu Shi - the original novel, which thank you Mo Xiang Tong Xiu for writing this masterpiece 😭) through this drama. So unlike many others, I did not know this was supposed to be BL drama-ish. In fact, this could be my first so called "BL" drama. And so, even now, the first term to describe Wei Ying and Lan Zhan would be 知己 (Zhījǐ, which, if literally translated, someone who knows all of you). And I know that sounds like lovers and yes they are, but through this drama, for me, it's definitely more about this one person who will stay by your side no matter what, who you know you can turn to even if the world turns its back on you. And that I feel is wayyy more than just romance and chemistry. So if you are capable of picking up the subtleties and happy with old soft love bromance, this is 100/10 👍🏻
Next, the cast. Ever heard of the perfect cast for the perfect drama. THIS IS IT! And there is nooo doubt. I still cannot believe they are not the actual people. Because I know for sure, if I were to ever meet them in person, I'll call them their character's name 😂 The more I rewatch, the more each character's part becomes clearer. The visuals and shots are really beautiful. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are legit one of the best pairs I've seen. It just makes sense, them as Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. And to anyone who says Wang Yibo isn't being expressive, let's fight, period 😤 And most important of all, THE ONE AND ONLY WEI WUXIAN AKA XIAO ZHAN. Man, he was born for this. If Wei Ying was a person in real life, he better be looking like Xiao Zhan. His acting skills are insane. So fine that you forget he is just the actor, not the actual person. 😭😭❤️❤️(Lowkey I'm sad about it, but we'll talk about that later).
The OSTs. Yes, Chinese dramas have really good songs, but this one has real good music. Especially if you like the Chinese instruments. Whether it's Wei Ying's 'Qu Jin Chenqing' by Xiao Zhan or Lan Zhan's 'Bu Wang' by Wang Yibo or 'Yi Nan Ping', pure chef's kiss. Even the plain instrument pieces like 'Zui Meng' are art of its own. But the most iconic would definitely be 'Wuji', the theme song itself. I like this version of Wangxian song the best of all across anime and voice drama and all.
Recently I've been watching the animated version and yes there are quite a lot of differences in the flow of the story. But definitely not in a way that reduces this drama's position in my heart. I have recommended this to literally anyone who has asked me a drama suggestion. The more I watch, the more nostalgic and closer I find myself to this drama. I could yap about it forever! 😁
Yup, as a fan of fantasy, action, smart plot and good relationships, ones that can stick the test of time, this is forever my FAVOURITE DRAMA EVER!
