Drama Overview & Review


[Drama Info] The drama is directed and adapted by Tian Li, best known for the supernatural series Tientsin Mystic. It’s adapted from Wei Yu's novel of the same title, the author behind The Seven Relics of Ill Omen, Parallel World, No Boundary, and Rattan.

I bet you all know who Zhang Yi Chi is – no, y'all don't, but it's his third time in a Wei Yu drama following The Seven Relics of Ill Omen and Rattan.

Wrapped up on August 9, 2024.

[Review & Rating] By cynlynn.
I deserve this disappointment because I'm the one who clawed my way through all 32 episodes hoping something would land when it wasn't working for me early on. I did get vibe – eerie – and Zhang Li – iconic. Everything else – mystery, romance, immortal bird lore, teamwork, action – not one wasn't flat. Including and especially the ending, which was also leaking because of all the plotholes. I don't know how to rate this higher D:

Rating: 1/5
