Could be better!
The story is literally so interesting, really my cuppa tea drama. Things about Soul Beasts and Soul Masters are awesome and it will be fancy to be discussed. Unfortunately, in my opinion, it's not well-executed, especially the plot until it felt boring. Some parts feel so flat, even for the fight scene, there's no tension. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like some things weren't put in the right place.However, the friendship that grows between them is really good. It's just so heartwarming to see. Also, a big thumbs up for the characters' development of those side characters. I don't know why it's always the side characters who got great development instead of the main character in cdrama lol. Both Tang San and Wu are doing well from the start tho.
Yet, the drama is still worth watching and I really wish for a sequel, because the ending can't even be accepted as an open ending. ㅠㅠ

Quite enjoyable
I myself enjoy this drama. This drama is actually my thing, particularly the less screen time of the romance because I'm literally not really enjoying romance. I like how they solved the problems of their kingdom, and the topic about the government and their officials, especially about how concubines should've worked to help the emperor. But, the last two episodes feel like not satisfying enough. It's just so so, nothing WOW.Also, I like Zijin, but her character's personality is just so unreal to be real. Smart, brave, kind, patient, silver-tongued, easily forgiving people, even sassy, it's hard to find someone like her in real life. Moreover, I don't see a significant character development from her. Same thing goes for the others, they lack character development unless for Ziping.
The execution of those bad people was just unfair. Instead of giving them karma or being punished by the law, the writer let them d* words by suicide? I hate those parts. I believe the writer could do something better.
Forget about some lingering questions, overall, I love this drama. It's not boring for me tho.

Awesome
Dang! This drama deserved a high score! Or even more? I watched it because of the high rating and XuKai, didn't expect anything, but it now has become one of my favorite cdramas now. The girl disguised as a boy is such an awesome success! I can't see the girly side of her, even when she wore a wig I still saw her as a boy. She is so handsome tho, lmao.I love the character development of each character, especially Li WenZhong. Imho, he won the best character development in this drama. Overall, I love the whole drama. Also, all of the soundtracks are really good.Was this review helpful to you?
More than just a comedy
People have talked about the comedy of this drama, so I want to point out another thing. Despite the comedy that could make me tired of laughing, this drama also has hidden messages. I love how they didn't give up on their dreams, didn't mind keep doing it even though they knew the result would not be as they expected. Somehow they might not look realistic, but it shows how people who hold on to their dream don't have other things that they want to carry on except doing anything to chase their dream.Was this review helpful to you?
Heartwarming and a bunch of flower boys
Honestly, I gave it a try to watch this drama because of Chengxiao but got surprised because of the whole male cast, lmao. If you are looking for a drama that will spoil your eyes because of its cast, then this drama is super recommended.Actually, I just started watching C-drama and romance drama isn't my thing, so I didn't have any expectations. I thought the drama would be filled with romance like the previous c-dramas that I've watched, but no? And it turned out to be "my cup of tea dramas".
I really love how they sent every message in this drama. They talked about gender equality, where some people underestimate women for things that they thought only men would understand.
It also talked about dreams. Those players want to chase their dreams despite the fact that they didn't get support and were opposed by their family. The only thing that they can do is prove that they didn't choose the wrong path.
I like how they pointed out fans' behavior. Some fans will throw hate to someone, even think that the support that they have given is enough to interfere in their idol's private life. Also, how people use mental health as an excuse because of her wrongdoing. That's a picture which also happened in real life.
Romance, dream, family, friendship, trust, even relationship between idols and fans, you can find it in this drama.
The matter is in me. I didn't understand the game, so I couldn't be excited T-T but it's still fun to watch. Fortunately, after 26 episodes, I could finally understand the game.
