Great Korean Fantasy Watch!
I really love this drama. It has a really strong hook with a great team behind it. I love its story and the production. This drama's style left the impression that it is inspired by Chinese Fantasy dramas. From the different schools of arts and specialties and the way the fighting scenes are choreographed. I really enjoyed this drama and the romance between the characters.I would definitely recommend this drama to any Chinese Immortal drama enjoyers or the martial sects too! Its style is so similar! And this also makes a great binge too (:

Heart-aching Tragic Love
OST? 10/10. Tell spotify to keep it available- I will practically become insane without the OST.The cast? Perfection. tell me how did they manage to find actors that can carry the depth and complexities of their characters without slipping an uncharacteristic side of self? I feel like I'm watching a love story that is documented through scrolls and scripts. The drama is so beautifully theatric.
The plot? The writers spent time on it. That's for sure. The time doesn't feel rushed, and we get a clear understanding of problems as they arise. The plot makes sense when it comes to the character's relationships and temperaments.
I also feel like the costumes of this drama had netizens and other drama stylists on a grip. After this drama, it feels like I have been seeing Xiao Feng in different fonts everywhere.

Best Action!
Honestly, the best action I have seen in a while. There are a total of eight episodes packed with stories and action. Not a single moment is wasted on chitter-chatter, the story unfolds and explains the questions that may come up as the stories are introduced.The characters are well-developed and actors played a role in making their characters more lively.
This drama is a binge-worthy drama!

Not a very good watch
This drama aired on iQiyi and I watched it on the app when it came out. I recently discovered this awesome site so I'm here to spill my two-cents.I was attracted to Luo Yunxi after completing Ashes of Love so I wanted to see more. He is an "okay" actor, i don't find him spectacular or outstanding. But what he has is face. His visuals are soft and feminine- very different from the actors casted at the time.
The actor casted for the female lead gave me a cute impression from Princess of Weiyong. She is consistent in her immature acting and limited display of emotions and understanding of her role. There is a disconnect between her and the character that she plays. It's hard to become engrossed in the drama when the main actor struggles to grasp her role.
I also think the plot is bland and poorly written. There's not a lot of depth and the development is not that great either. The length and the scenes they decided were "relevant" to the plot felt distracting and out of place.
I do not reccomend this drama.

Blooming romance and character growth!
I love this story so much! The outline of the plot is a basic one. The female lead's (Hua Zhi) family (The Hua Family) falls from grace- basically, the emperor doesn't favor their family and exiled the men to a Northern Border and the women and youth of the family are left in the capital. They no longer have their property because it is confiscated by the emperor. So they must make a living to survive.Hua Zhi is a curious learner, and a brilliant business (young) woman. Hua Zhi is played by Zhang Jingyi, who does an excellent job of emulating the natural brilliance of a young woman pursuing business endeavors to support her family single-handedly. The male lead Gu Yanxi is played by Hu Yitian who did a decent job. I didn't like him a lot because there wasn't depth to his character. I can't really tell how much Gu Yanxi loves Hua Zhi. I don't really see the conflicted character go between being a loyal emperor subject to a man in love. He doesn't offer a more complex insight on his character. It seems as if he read the novel and gave us a surface presentation on the actor. The other casting who played the supporting roles did a phenomenal job at offering their character some dimension.
The production of this drama is also pretty good. There isn't much to nitpick. The only one is lighting. You'll notice it if you're a person with sensitive eyes. But other than that, this drama is smooth, enjoyable, and fun.
I feel like there are some playful parts and sweet moments that will hold dear to you.

An Endearing Watch!
What a cute and lovely pair between Sheng Sheng and Mo Qing Cheng! It's a light and easy watch as there aren't any crazy plots included. The characters in this film are lovable humans and they demonstrate cheerful friendship at work, study, and romance altogether! It's a love story between two characters who fell in love with each other's voices at first listen.And throughout, they also share their love of food. Both characters are talented in making their dishes and taking care of one another in their unique ways. They share recipes and bond over this aspect. He enjoys cooking and she enjoys eating. The best part of this drama is that there is no miscommunication. We get to witness two very mature people treat their love with sincerity and honesty.
A great watch with a pretty and romantic soundtrack!
