Cliffhanger love story

The story was moderate to complex. Plot revolves around the FL who happens to be a part time prostitute cum contract killer working for a pavillion run by PM of the state to kill his rival in politics.
Where he used to trained kids to become deadly killers.
Though everything was quite interesting but there was nothing surprising about the entire story ..you can pretty much predict what is going to happen next. And honestly speaking I actually got bored in the middle of the series (Either way I sticked around)
Just to figure out it was a cliffhanger sort of ending. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

The ML and FL are gorgeous❤️❤️ .. chemistry was amazing🙂🙂 , to be specific their love making scenes very detailed ..I haven't seen such love making scenes in any other drama (150-200 to be exact)) so far ... THE ACTORS AND THE ENTIRE TEAM MUST BE Appreciated FOR Delivering SUCH REFINED PERFORMANCE.
though the character themselves were quite boring 😔😔😔 NGL the FL was pitiful ..being a killer she can do amazing kungfu yet her personality was so timid...aaahhh !!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺

female character are portrayed stronger than Male character which is the another best thing about this drama ..
Background Music/ ending sound track was lovely.


Overall a Good watch

"Vai all'inferno"

Wow!!! This is such a standout K-drama with a truly unique theme.
Park Shin Hye looking absolutely gorgeous throughout the show, her stylist did an incredible job with her wardrobe and overall appearance on top her incredible acting skills .. ❤️❤️
Jae-young Kim adding his own charm, his character have started developing intense in these later episodes.

The best thing about The show is its fresh take on the supernatural demon/angel theme. I mean Instead of the usual devil taking revenge or acting out of curiosity, This one has a devil with a clear mission: delivering pure judgment, makes the story more compelling and purpose. Plus the amount of gore, which you don’t usually see in K-dramas.
The graphic portrayal of justice adds a gripping intensity and love story is very much on the sidelines ... And focused on the main theme that is justice and retribution.
To me the highlight of this show is watching the devil make wrongdoers feel every ounce of pain and abuse they inflicted on their victims, not gonna lie this delivered a strange sense of satisfaction. It’s about absolute justice, and the way it’s delivered is both chilling and satisfying—you can't help but feel a strange sense of closure as each judgment is passed.

Ost and background music is bomb.

Edit : just finished watching ep 14 ...

The last episode was a blockbuster .. ultimate trial .. emotional climax ... And a huge wordrobe (17 outfits in single episode... kudos to sponsors and stylists) this episode had it all.

I CAN SAY THIS ONE IS MY FAVOURITE KDRAMA AND IT'S GONNA BE FOREVER. ❤️❤️❤️

The proper revenge rebirth plot with satisfactory dosage of hell fury

Revenge/rebirth plot always have a strange attraction to them ... As they are not based on fairytale love but mostly based on the real emotions we face in our lives ...betrayals ...heartbreaking.. backstabbing etc ... This series too had the same feel to it ... But what made it more attractive was the act performed by the actors ... FL took the revenge thing to a next level .. the way she acted like her eyes full of anger and disgust everytime she looks at the lover who betrayed her .... WOW .. you see I am very peculiar about emotions, they have to match the plot .. and this particular plot needs to be acted with grey and perhaps black emotions ...

Both FL and ML are cute and good looking ..their chemistry was amazing ... Story wasn't boring at any instance ...it was constant in its pace quite realistic...



Strongly recommended

Demon of boredom and cliches

A great cast but can't justify the shortcomings of the story, which is boring and moves too slowly.
Despite being a fantasy-based show, the instances of magic and fantasy elements are surprisingly minimal, which is disappointing for a show about demon as ML.
The lack of imagination in the storyline makes it hard to fully engage with the world the characters inhabit.
The framework of the plot bears a striking resemblance to numerous other K-dramas, such as My Roommate is a Gumiho, Tale of the Nine-Tailed, and My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. The repetitive theme of a supernatural partner losing something crucial to their existence within a human counterpart feels uninspired and overused.

Additionally, the suspense throughout the series feels baseless, lacking the depth of conspiracy needed to keep viewers guessing. By the sixth episode, it becomes all too clear who the real villain is, making the story predictable and less engaging.

The chemistry between the leads is nice, but they sometimes seem awkward together. Their acting is good, though. But the lackluster plot and predictable twists ultimately prevent it from reaching its full potential as a captivating fantasy drama.

'Don't' king the land !!!

Ahhh!!! Where should I start from ?

First I will talk about the Reasons to drop this show ..and trust me I have plenty ..
1) this drama has absolutely no story ..I mean it .. no story at all. The plot is flat ..like you are watching few individuals vlogging their everyday life. Come on!!

2) the consipiracy and suspension which is barely there, has no pinch of creativity to it.

3) absolutely lifeless dialogue writing which is apparently full of cringe , I mean you cannot find even a single phrase in entire 16 episode show , that retains in your mind as a good dialogue iykyk.how can any writer be so 'talentless'. There is only go- hard ,go-hard type nonsense.

4) well I am not the fan of these lead actors either .. their looks are just average and acting is even more pathetic . How in the Mary's world can you call her smile 'million dollar worth' beautiful?? 5$!!! i will pay maximum 5 $ for her smile . And my dear ML has no expression, I don't know if it's his botox or something else that man has same expression throughout the show, when he is happy, jealous or sad he looked the same. While he is quite popular in the list of top actors on MDL ..but how and why he is popular ??? Please Don't ask me.

5) no msg to the story ... I know a lot of dramas fall in no msg category but they commonly compensate it with an entertaining story ...meanwhile this drama has neither story nor msg ..AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME.

Now I will come to the reasons for which you can barely sit in front of screen and pretend like you are watching this show ( no reasons to watch for real)

1) the cindrella story plot ... See!! if you are the type who can watch just anything as long as FL and ML are in love and if you are a fan of rich guy falling for pauper girl ..you can definitely give it a try.

2) the trip/vacation segments were okaish ..

3) the segments where FL and her besties celebrating each other special occasions were the best segments in my opinion. Those scenes were funny and entertaining.plus it was refreshing to see the emphasis on sisterhood.

In the end I still can't convince myself to convince someone else to watch this show ... This one was Totally waste of time and mood as far a my taste is considered.

Freaking Ice queen and her Plastic tears

honestly, this show left me wondering why it has so much hype in the first place.it delivered nothing of the sort. The entire plot was surrounded by a failed attempt to capture the boring family dynamics and romance which is entangled in melodrama and cliches. The fancy lead couple felt more awkward than emotionally connected. till episode 12 i actually felt no couple(married) vibes through them.. after that it was all wrapped around the tragic memory loss plot that gave that barely there true love feel to it.

Rn i am so bored to even write this review so you can fathom the dept of my disappointment in this show .. anyways..
the narrative is so overwhelmed by unnecessary melodrama, meanwhile the scenes where rather strong emotions were needed, the reactions felt flat and dull. the pace of the plot was snail sped too much content and time was wasted on things which were adding no concrete substance to the story ..for example ML's father's scenes about his election campaign were extremely stupid and forced funny.

Not only this but There were literally way too many characters and side stories, making the whole thing feel messy and hard to follow. Hong Hae In (played by Kim Ji Won) finds herself caught in a whirlwind of health problems and family betrayals, which should be touching, but instead, it’s a mess of unneeded drama. first she wanted surgery to escape death then she started overreacting as soon as she heard of the potential memory loss after treatment which was so unrealistic .. i mean come on .. anyone will prioritize life over memory cause if you live you can rebuilt those memories ..but if you die memories die with you .. her character remains so damn irritating till the last min ..like she literally gives no straight answer to any question/statement no matter how serious the matter or feelings are involved she always answers in an 'as if i care' roundabout manner ... i felt even more bad for kim soo hyun , his character was so weak and unlikeable in the first half of the show and the second half was so packed with melodrama that there wasnt much for him to do other than using tear drops. his character kind of lost its spirit in all the chaos and mess. Well ..to be honest this screenwriting did no justice to his talent as an outstanding actor.

Background music was possibly the best thing ... Secondly the wordrobe ..may be not the best but still good ( IMO judge from hell has best wordrobe and styling so far)

in the end i am still not convinced by the level of marketing they did to promote this show .. or may be they knew the show is lacking at good writing so atleast lets promote it good.

Watched it Only for the last 7 episodes

First blow to the rating is because of Esther yu ...let's accept her performance was pathetic..Fairies are playful but her fairy character was "retard".. absolutely zero acting talent ... Annoying voice modulation ... Though her character was quite serious and had no necessary demand to over-act this superficially cute .. yet hell knows who suggested her to that act this way
.Even in the serious situation she doesn't give her cringe a break.


These things are even more highlighted when your co actor is an immensely talented artist .... Dylan wang on the contrary played her own character better than herself during the soul swipe parts ...


Enough ..let's discuss the good parts

Both ML and PML did an amazing job ..effortless performance.

Vfx and stunt scenes are on spot ...

I love the soundtracks.. I don't remember but the opening soundtrack gave me a feeling of nostalgia..like some other drama has a similar sounding track

One of the main highlights of the show was their costume design ... Big thumbs up to the stylist and designer.

Chemistry between leads was 95% form Dylan's side ... While FL was busy acting like his daughter in that annoying child voice 😔

Plot was little slow paced and very ridiculously multidirectional ..things got a way out of track in median episodes when they visited the mortal world ... Things accelerated from around episode 29 ..

Bottom line : this particular story was not meant to be stretched all the way to 36 episodes ...for what it's worth even a 16 epsiode series would have been enough and more intriguing.

PS: I loved Dylan wang's performance this is my first drama watching him act ...looking forward to more .. XOXO

If only the story was a little better ....

Actors were good characters were lost ...

Story started good with 'avenge the father death' plot so I was expecting the FL to have be smart,strong and independent person .. she even took a strong decision of changing her appearance ..but as the story flows I can't help but question how someone so stupid as her can become a doctor. Her character was slow ,boring and irritating like she believes every crap she is been told by absolutely anyone and even after committing grave mistake like stabbing a person she walks around shamelessly ... No regret whatsoever .. futher stabbed him second time for the same confusion without being bother to clarify the theory ... Though stupid characters add dimension to a story but seriously this stupid ..???

Adding to the glory of FL ML was equally annoying ..he is living in a delulu that he can save the world by his silence. He has this intention off giving away every useless crap but any important information ..

But as dramas are purely fictitious we cant think of relating them to logic . I mean it takes away the fun ..

Story could have been better as it moves slow and few things (like what her father's imperial army was like ) remained a bit loose and confusing

Worth watching ?? Yes ... For one time why not ???

Worth Repeat watching ... Aahhhh !!! Nope 👎

I don't wanna watch Xu kai doing such horrible drama ever again

The story is crap ..not gonna lie this was one of the weakest plots that I have ever seen. Why I say so ?? Cause you will watch 3/4th of the drama still won't feel attached to the story ... The feeling of excitement to watch the next episode was totally missing ..just imagine the amount of disappointment.

Xu kai is a fantastic actor He delivered best on his part but in the end he can only play his own role .. I feel bad for him as don't know for what reason but his chemistry with his co-actors has been compromised in last couple of shows ...in best choice ever it was the same .. I hope he gets some beautiful and talented co-actress who will bring out his charisma again ...

Esther yu was terrible like she is in most of her dramas.she was the same in 'Love between devil and fairy' two years back .. her acting skills haven't improved at all,she is hopeless. In fact the rest of the cast performed way better than her. I don't know how chinese casting works but she has no chance to sign even a junior artist role for the third class acting skills she owns.she is the only grade less actress who gives kissing scenes in a child voice, making it even morally incorrect.

The plot was stuffed with a lot of details but somehow the mess created was so much that it lost its core ... The plot was bulky in itself plus There were a total of 4-5 couples having their own love story which were dragged to the last altogether.. an Absolute CHAOS .

a few more things 'louder than dialogue' background music ..basic and ugly costume .. multidirectional approach with no straight execution of parts were responsible for not delivering the drama in its whole potential

If i have to summarise, it was just the hard work of the entire cast ( minus Esther yu) that kept the drama breathing otherwise there was no hope whatsoever.

There is no reach to PERFECTION but this one was very close to that

A story that you can cherish as a re-watch ..
I am going to put it in point for better understanding.

A) Points that make it a series worth your time :

1. blend of huge range of genres (romance,comedy,action,thriller,suspense,feel good,crime & little melodrama) a perfect balance of all .
2. An amazing cast ... Not just the leads but even the supporting cast was the best ... Cant point a single glitch in the cast.
3. A story with good writing and consistent pace. plot was to the point and writing was indeed remarkable...there were no cringe/ cliche' as far as dialogue writing is involved ... All characters have nice screen timing and their dialogues complimented the characters in a way that viewers will feel attached.
4. Chemistry between characters/connection between the character was indeed perfect ... We often look for chemistry between the leads ..but in this particular series I felt the warmth of every relationship..like the character of Su Jui'er's mother was so beautifully played that you can actually feel it through the screen ... Same goes for Chi Lan's sisterly love for Han Zheng or Jun'er's friendship with Han Zheng and Su Jui'er,her God father's love for Jui'er . We often ignore the connection between side CHARACTERS but this series made these relationships so impactful almost impossible to ignored.
5. fantabulous fight scenes and clean VFX ... I rarely re-watch fight scenes but in this particular series I actually replayed the fights scenes quite a lot of times.
6. No absurd kitchen politics or vamp slapping bullshit ... The story was clean ..there were no cheap concubine/ex-fiance crap... It was just about two people who come together by fate ..fall in love ... Chose each other to spend their lives with ...simple as that ...and that's how I personally like it.
7. Even the villain was handsome ... Entire main cast was good looking specially male characters ... Han Zheng , Jun'er , Crown prince, Mu yan etc including Female character like chi Lan.
8. Female characters with amazing action scenes ... I enjoy the series that have female characters performing action scenes ... ChiLan provided me with that thrill.
9) LOVELY CLOSING SOUND TRACK
10) happy ending ...

B) Points that I felt about this story that could have been worked on :

1. Female Main lead character could have been better ... I loved her character so much ..she is smart ..comic ... Independent... Intelligent... Beautiful.. but I still felt her character lost a the emphasis during final few episodes .. may be because they wanted to portray her as a saviour of the entire Qi clan but I personally expected her to come up with some smart alterative solution instead of just giving up on her life, given that she was the smartest character of teg entire series I can't just accept her to chose a flat and boring solution. If you know what I mean.

2. Some characters just disappeared in thin air and never got the final verdict ... For example the character of Qian king,he appeared in previous episodes then he disappeared like that ... Come on he was the king atleast Give him some scenes especially when you are discussing political matters between two tribes you are supposed to put some scenes with their leaders.

3. Happy ending but with loose ends ... Where the hell did Mu yan go ??? He was the main villian,still he got a single episode appearance ... On top of that he was not given any closure.

4. Plot unexplained - fragments of story like ..death of real crown prince-princess, Jui'er's father's attempt to steal the Qi amber fire, mu yan association with snow flake organisation ...etc ..there were a lot of fractions in the story that were left unexplained.

5. Crime cases were quite less ... Single case took more than necessary time to solve which lead to inability to accommodate more important things .. in my opinion the crime cases were stretched a way too much.the writers could have accomodated more details in story if it were not for the stretched cases.

6. Happy ending with absurd twist ... ML becoming simple Quin and FL going bizzare with Qi powers was the most childish and nonsensical ending twist that I have ever seen ... For a story with a wavelength like this one I didn't expect such irresponsible twist .. I would have appreciated a rather simple ending instead of this cheap twist.


Taking all points in consideration I still think the good outweighs the bad by many folds ..

**** making it one of the best shows I have ever seen***** ..

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED ( just watch it you will not regret )

Re-watch value : good

Leia Mais

very convincing and unique plot

story is basically based on two priniciple
1) you and only you (no one else) can change your fate. nothing or no one in the world can take the role in your instead for the fate that is been decided for you.
2) once you are ready to let go of everything and hold no desire than only you can become actually free.

other than psychological angle i find this drama also had that deeper than thou love story ..the dynamic chemistry between the leads (so called side characters acc to fate book) which gradually ended into both of them giving up on their lives to protect the other... OMG !!! what to say i am little old school and i always long for such romance in my life ...

the only negative thing i felt was cheapness in fortune writer'character that he suddenly erase the fate and rewrite it again ... but anyway in the end that all made good sense

is it worth watching ..totally
is it worth rewatching .. of course ..may be after sometime when you suddenly want to know how fate works in your life ...

I don't understand the fuss about this show .. it was boring

After reading a lot of comments and reviews I started watching the show ... But I don't think it is worth the hype ... Richard was the only good thing about this show ..story sucked . . FL character sucked ..her acting sucked ... Momentum of the plot sucked ... It was surely not my cup of tea ... The worst thing was the dimwit FL even if I ignore the cringe dialogue still overall character was pathetic .. she is sort of an undercover agent yet she has no sense of entering a place stealthily... She just walks like a stupid person right in the middle of hall ... Worst undercover agent in history ... Please stop writing such retard female lead characters ...women can play better undercover agents why tf do these writers turn them so cliche and cringe ... Pfft!!!

"Fangs of fortune- A tale of strength, sacrifice and heroic battle"

Why I loved it so much :

1. A perfect mix of genres: The drama delivers on every front—romance, friendship, feel-good moments, thrill, action, comedy, drama, and tragedy. It’s a rare balance that caters to multiple tastes.


2. Depth in storytelling: While the pace is slow, it’s deliberate. Each subplot is crafted to fill gaps and tie loose ends, creating a deeply harmonious narrative.


3. Impressive cinematography: The framing, camera angles, and techniques used are absolutely top-notch, elevating the viewing experience.


4. High-quality VFX: The visual effects are clean, realistic, and immersive. The editing team truly deserves credit for making the fantasy elements believable.


5. Exquisite set design: The attention to detail in the sets is breathtaking. The Demon Hunting Bureau, in particular, stands out as a masterpiece of design.


6. Talented cast: Almost every actor delivered stellar performances. While one or two might not have fit their roles visually, their acting made up for it.


7. Memorable background music: The combat music and other tracks are beautifully composed, reminiscent of the enchanting vibes from Love Between Fairy and Devil.

8. Dancing in the ending soundtrack .. I know I am weird to like a show for this ..but seriously it was quite refreshing to see the cast dancing to their show's soundtrack ... The steps were easy I am dancing you should try it as well ;)



About the cast

Neo hou as Zhao yuanzhou:

Neo Hou is the one who introduced me to the world of C-Dramas, starting with Being Back from the Brink, my very first Chinese drama. He has never let me down. His charm, brilliant acting, mischievous expressions, spot-on comedic timing, and calming smile—everything about his character in this show was a delight to watch.



Zhuo Yichen : a warrior who is strong-willed, righteous, kind, compassionate, funny, and deeply tragic. Tian Jia portrayed this fascinating character with remarkable justice.


Li lun: more of an anti-hero than a villain, carries a strong sense of justice and a deep kindness for his people. This character added significant depth and complexity to the leads' role .. and the actor (yan an) playing it was more beautiful than the FL herself 😂 😀 ❤️❤️ I am in love with him.



Pei Shijing: the Demon Huntress, is a character with a tsundere quality that suits Cheng Xiao’s poker-face expressions perfectly. Watching her evolve as an actress has been impressive. From her flat expressions and character in Falling Into Your Smile to portraying a compassionate, graceful fighter in this drama, Cheng Xiao has truly come a long way.


Bai jiu : a timid, funny and cute kid ..played by lester lin ... This child actor is so damn talented he played two completely contrasting characters ( bai jiu and li lun) so effortless.. very impressive ..it hard to believe he delivered such outstanding performance at the age of just 13 years old


The parts where this show lacked appeal


1) Wen Xiao : I don't like lame/sickly/weak/useless/low IQ FLs at all I mean I can’t think of a single thing that would have changed if she weren’t part of the story. She was utterly useless—couldn’t fight, fall before someone even slapped her.The so-called goddess was the biggest liability—completely useless—while so many others died, one after another, paying the ultimate price to save the world. I hated her character even more after jiu died. Even a child gave his life heroically to save the world, yet she selfishly clung to her life like
it held more value than anyone else’s. While others bore the weight of impossible choices,sacrificed themselves in secret, including the child who quietly fulfilled his duty and died
,she had the audacity to pretend she’d do the same. All for what? So others would stop her, convince her to live, and throw their lives away instead. She wasn’t a goddess; she was a parasite, feeding off the heroism of those who deserved far better.

Not up my alley ...SORRYYYY !!

2) tiresome climax and depressing ending . . If the outcome is going to be as the past (like that of ling long and bingyi's) why would you write a new story in the first place. I kept anticipating they will bring a different outcome but .. well!! I don't know what else to say.

3) actress playing FL is good ..her acting was amazing but in some episode I felt like she is looking too mature for the role for example when they went to kulun episode 15 .. though her demoness was quite seducing and bold I liked her more in that role.


The show is worth every praise and more .. is the reason why I write such a comprehensive review.
