I stumbled upon this series on Netflix, and the ML on the movie poster immediately drew me in. However, the Netflix poster is different from the one on IMDB (left pic). From the very first episode, I was hooked and couldn’t resist binge-watching the subsequent episodes. I became so absorbed that I even connected ML to a character in a game I’m currently addicted to—though they don’t look similar, they definitely share a similar vibe.
I was curious if ML (Luo Yunxi) usually has this physique, as he seemed quite slim. Maybe the story called for him to be skinny; at times, his facial shots resembled a dragon’s, especially since he also plays the Ming Ye character. Initially, I thought this might be a reincarnation, but after a quick search on Reddit, I learned that Tantai Jin is not the reincarnation of Ming Ye (East Sea Dragon/God of War). Anway, I love his expressive eyes, and his aura is incredibly inviting.
I managed to finish all 40 episodes in just four days! It was a rollercoaster of emotions. By the time I reached the final episode, I was so invested that I felt like I was hyperventilating—I tend to get that way with certain shows or movies. There are only a few that have had such an effect on me, and I still haven’t finished those or can’t bring myself to watch the same movie again.
Now that I’ve completed the final episode, I’m not sure I can find another series or movie that can top this one. I started exploring ML's discography and am eager to check out his other projects, but I think this one will stay with me for a while.
