The main characters are actually likeable. Maybe that's because of the backstories they have. I kind of like a character more when they have an interesting backstory, and believe me, these ones have pretty good ones! And the actors were also amazing! They did their jobs pretty well. I literally didn't know any of them before, but I am already in love and want to watch other dramas with them.
But do you know the thing I loved the most in this drama? The OST! The OST was really good, I'm always listening to it. I must tell you to try it since it is pretty awesome and your life's gonna change!!!!!
Now, I feel like I should talk about the ending...... IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER MADE! Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but I have been waiting for an end like this since I started this drama watcher life. And the best thing is that I wasn't even expecting it! I admit I was thinking what would happen once she discovered he was a killer, and what happened wasn't even part of my thoughts. Maybe that surprise and the fact I actually would like it is what made me like it so much.

Well, Imma start with the good things: the actors weren't that bad.Now the things I didn't like:
This drama becomes annoying and boring since the very first episode.
THERE IS NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AT ALL!!! Characters stay the same from the beginning to the end. She is still addicted to her work, without really caring about him. He... how was is personality even like? She could have tried to find a way of balancing her work and her relationship (thing she was clearly not interested in doing). He could have been a little more upset about it... you know? To make things kind of interesting in this drama. If there is something I like in drama, is seeing how characters grow and change their minds with something, basically some development. Maybe a backstory would be interesting too (and no, I don't think "him being addicted to work and not being good in relationships until he finds someone even more addicted than him" his a backstory good enough to make me care.)
Anyways, this couple is terrible. As I said, she doesn't care about him most of the time and he only cares about sex. Maybe he was the perfect boyfriend (which, somehow, also annoyed me), but it seems like he only does that to get sex and keeps pressuring her. That's just my point of view, I'm sorry if it isn't like what I'm saying, but it's the idea I got.
By the end of the drama, it can happen two things: or you forget the main character's friends exist or you wonder what happened to them. You know why? Because they don't have a proper ending! And the same happens to her editor. You don't even know what happened to them. You don't know anything about them, for that matter.
And when you finally think something interesting is going to happen... it doesn't. They just end it out of nothing. Like when the guy's friend who was in love with him, just decides she won't want him anymore like 5 minutes after she said she would fight for him and blah blah...
I think this could have been a much better drama, however I didn't see any purpose in its existance.

At least the outfits are good.
When I saw the drama was about vampires I got really excited to watch this. Turns out all my excitement was for nothing. At some point, I only remembered it was about vampires because they kept telling us so. They felt like regular humans who boast about not being regular humans.What I can say about the story is that it all was for nothing. There isn't really any consequence for any of the character's actions, or any good action scene for that matter. Plus, everything happened in a rush. I feel like every plot point they had was abandoned and left unresolved.
The last episode was too boring (yes, even more than the previous ones), so I can't even leave the drama with a last good impression of it.
The acting was also underwhelming and didn't save the show at all. The music is also... forgettable?
Overall, I felt like it could at least be more enjoyable if it went in a complete different direction and decided to develop the characters and the story a bit better, even with the short episodes. All it would take was a good time management.

Everything started with the girl, Sol Ah. She is someone who doesn't listen to anything and is always speaking while others were trying to talk. I felt really annoyed by it, especially considering the fact that it happened ALL the time. I mean, this could have been 3 times shorter if she had listened to him the first time... But I get it, it is kind of a part of her personality (a really annoying part, I must say,) but not enough to make me dislike this.
Remember when I said you could laugh a lot? Yeah, it suddenly became just pure drama and, sometimes, it wasn't really interesting to watch. This was my "to get out of reality and forget everything" drama, so I didn't really appreciate that change. They took what made me like it in the first place away. Maybe comedy is not my favourite genre, but it fit so well in this drama...
So... I guess this was a nice drama? Yeah, I cannot say this was bad. It just felt boring by the end.

The first half of this show was really good and quite addictive. I loved to see how Zhao Yao and Chen Lan met each other and became really close and how Zhao Yao went from a naive little girl to a powerful feared woman. It was such an interesting journey to follow!After she woke up again, it was even more interesting to watch. Though I hate any kind of misunderstandings, this one wasn't unbearable to watch, even after a few episodes. The way she wanted to kill Chen Lan but wasn't able to was honestly cute. Those moments when Zhao Yao was invisible and had no idea Chen Lan knew about her were so sweet and melted my heart. I couldn't wait until they met each other for real.
But after Zhao Yao was able to get her face back, it wasn't that captivating anymore. Both Zhao Yao and Chen Lan only cared about each other and all their actions were for one another, even when their own sect was having so many problems. And to be honest, I hate those kind of relationships. It feels like they don't think anything else matters and it starts being repetitive.
After the 50th episode, nothing made sense. The last battle was awesome to watch and I thought about raising a bit my rating because of it, but it got balanced for those flashbacks or whatever those scenes were. It's not even possible to understand what was happening without having so many doubts.
Finally, props to Jiang Wu, Gu Han Guang and Tang Yun 'cause they were the best characters here and no one can convince me otherwise.
