never have I ever liked a drama so much, to the point where I would rewatch them and actually liking ALL casts from a drama

it’s a super amazing show, Zhang Zhe Han & Gong Jun truly bring the characters to live, and let us believe that they’re the characters with their amazing acting

the osts are so amazing too, zhang zhe han not only can act, he can also sing, his voice is sooo good, and the theme song (not sung by him) is constantly stuck in my head

the plot of the entire show is very well paced, though towards the end there were these two episodes where I felt rushed and was a little confused as they brushed off certain things, but other than that the plot were very good

the story behind the drama is pretty deep too, not everyone who looks righteous is good, and not everyone who is known to be evil may be evil
there’s always a story behind someone’s behaviour and never to judge anyone based on their appearance

I love the small family of Zhou Zi Shu (zzs), Wen Ke Xing (wkx) & Zhang Cheng Ling (zcl) & Gu Xiang (gx) & Cao Wei Ning (cwn), they’re all meaningful to one another’s lives
while wkx is zzs’s reason to continue living, zzs is wkx’s light, and path to going back to the living
wkx & zzs are both important fatherly figures to zcl, considering the fact that he has lost his whole family, yet zzs willingly take care of him, despite him being stranger initially ❤️
tbh, zcl is one character that I like a lot, considering how I pity that he has to endure seeing so many deaths in front of him, and losing so many people who are important to him and he has a huge character development he may seem like a kid who cries all the time, and is weak, but he only shows his weakness to the people he are close to, zzs wkx gx etc. and fight the others when being bullied and stayed strong when being tortured so I honestly feel that he is an underrated character which makes me like him even more I guess
gx is a sister to zcl, despite teasing him all the time, she stood up for him & protected him whenever he needed it

next up, it’s gx & cwn, they’re truly a pair that breaks my heart the most. their r/s kind of depicts that of wkx & zzs, where gx & wkx are both trying to find the path back to human world bc of their love for their lovers
I honestly still think that gx & cwn deserves better, and both are too innocent and naive for this cruel world
their love for each other are so strong, that they’re willing to give up their life to be with the other (just like how wkx & zzs do)
thankful for the foreshadowing of them being able to meet each other even in their next life and hopefully in their next life, they’ll have the happy ending they deserve

next, gx & wkx on her last day, wkx asked her to not be spoilt anymore and she asked “did you ever spoil me” in a way that she doesn’t feel it, but he does, or she wouldn’t have been able to stay alive despite teasing him so much, and his love for her was so huge, he went insane when she passed right in front of him
he has always treated her as a daughter/ sister, and they’re not in a master/ servant r/s for him
it’s just sad how she only knew how much she meant to him during her death and how she was unaware that she was the small light he had which helped him stay sane in that horrible place

lastly, wkx zzs, as mentioned before, to zzs, wkx is someone who makes him want to live, when he only thought of dying previously whereas zzs is wkx’s light, where he can put away his dark past and wanting to live his life for himself
I honestly envy their relationship, having trust in each other & zzs’s patience with wkx & willingly fight against the world together
their love is so pure where they also are willing to give up their lives for the other party ❤️
I honestly just love them so much TT

gong jun & zhang zhe han really did a great job portraying the characters, the small details throughout the series made it so much better, they are the characters themselves ❤️ I cannot imagine other actors taking up these characters tbh

anyway overall I really love it, and I’m already rewatching it despite finishing it only recently, & I appreciate it so much more bc I am able to catch the details the second time which makes the drama more lovely ❤️ however, i skipped many parts that wkx & zzs & zcl & gx & cwn aren’t involved :/
