The Adventures of Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng continue ?
Now this is what I call a proper Detective Drama !As I started this second season I felt like it was going to be slower than the first one and less interesting but WRONG I was . To my surprise it got even more interesting with each episode and it kept the same consistency of story , acting and cases .
The things I really liked about this drama are :
• the plot is consistent , engaging and constantly moving forward. The cases kept going along the journey and even if at time 2 cases intertwined with each other they didn’t just forget about one and picked up the other as many other failed detective dramas did .
•the characters ( our little 5 people group made of Su Wuming , Lu Lingfeng , Xijun, Yingtao and Fei Shiji ) I loved their close bond and the way they all contributed to solving the cases through different ways . Su Wuming - the brains , Lu Lingfeng - The power , Xijun - Painting , Yingtao - force and Fei Shiji - Medicine . No betrayals or giving up on each time . They were basically like a family
•No Forced and unnecessary Romance squeezed in to please the public or to sell ships.
•THE CASES . I’m a really enthusiast of detective dramas and I’m really really satisfied with the way the cases are written and solved . The cases are actually written to be interesting and to keep you guessing and each time hit you with an unexpected plot twist towards the end . Especially the last case with Duobao… that one really made me cry . Such a good child , I would’ve never guessed the real culprit .
With all of that being said I also think that the cinematography , costumes and other props definitely improved this season (of course thanks to the success of the first season) and I was happy to be part of their journey to the west .
MAY WE GET A THIRD 3 SEASON SOON ✨

A True Treasure for 2024 CDRAMALAND ✨
Well, well , well . I truly didn’t expect that I would actually finish watching a xianxia drama anytime soon , but here I am!THE LEGEND OF SHENLI! Just as the title suggests, it was truly legendary.
This drama , to my surprise , actually had the best CGi , storyline and character development that I’ve seen in a while !
The relationship between the female lead (Shenli) and the male lead (Xingzhi) started in a very soft and amusing way and continued being a slow burn all throughout the episodes. I loved how Xingzhi, even though he knew Shenli’s real identity in the Mortal Realm , actually treated her with care letting her to show her vulnerable side and being the first who made her feel like a real Lady and not just a War Weapon.
The way they cared and helped each other was truly heartwarming to see .
The CGi and special effects really shocked me as well. All the realms were so well crafted. This has to be the best Heavenly Realm that I’ve seen before in other xianxia dramas . All the floating white clouds in the gardens and surrounding every place made it look really magical . The Gold and White pallete truly looks Heavenly . The flying scenes , the fighting scenes, the mystical creatures were all impressive as well and I truly appreciate the efforts they’ve put into it .
The storyline was mostly different than what we are used to see in xianxia , wasn’t it ?
For me it was really unpredictable and I couldn’t stop watching since I was dreadfully curious to see what will happen next .
The Characters were quite lovable and I really liked their development and their stories . Some worth mentioning ones are Furong ( who went from a careless playboy who only wanted to play and waste his time , to a true Diviner who saved people and fought in a war to defend the realms !) , Shenli’s Parents and their story which was very touching and emotional . Fenglai was absolutely adorable and naive , how could he play the part of King of the Chimeis? Even when he couldn’t really understand the meaning of ‘’daughter’’ he still rushed to save his daughter because his late wife cared about her..and that’s all he understood and wanted to protect. Him and Liyu’s love was pure and beautiful. So was his brief meeting with Shenli. I shed quite a few tears at that scene . Mofang is also worth mentioning. Even though he was forced into completing a mission by his evil ‘master’ he went against him all the time only to protect Shenli and never truly hurt her . I think we all felt pity for him in the end . Now I could go on about this all day since all the characters had something special which would make you get attached to them.
The OST was beautifully done too , I can’t go on without mentioning the opening track which was very unique but fit for Shenli’s fighter character. I got chills every time I heard it .
Beautiful Costumes , Hairstyles , Unique and creative Makeup and more importantly the happy ending that I’ve been craving for!
Get your phone’s storage ready because this drama has many aesthetic scenes !
10/10 From L.Alexandra !

Imagine a Qing Dynasty themed movie with an actual HAPPY ENDING !
As the headline already suggests this movie was actually a happy surprise for me . Just imagine : a Qing Dynasty themed drama set in the palace , concerning the Imperial Family yet there are no villains, no concubines therefore no harem fighting , no evil schemes . Just cooking , genuine relationships, pretty sceneries and costumes and yes the HAPPY ENDING.And I can’t forget mentioning the Empress who actually said something that goes like ‘’ You’re all my children , even the Royals are humans . They have feelings’’ .
Now the plot was rather simple however a good watch if you’re looking for something lighthearted that will give you a good and peaceful mood . You can’t expect a detailed plot and lines from a 1 h 27 min long movie . If that’s what you’re looking for I’d advise you to go look for a drama instead .
The costumes were beautiful and high quality, so were the hairstyles and the cinematography.
Definitely Underrated! Do give it a try !
