  Disappointing. This TV series had a promising start but failed to live up to expectations. While the initial story idea was intriguing, the execution fell short. The main issue was the slow pacing, with episodes feeling repetitive and lacking in originality.
  
  The male lead character was fixated on his deceased first love, which became a central theme throughout the series. Despite living for many years and possessing a powerful tool, he remained unable to assist the female lead character, often falling victim to the manipulations of...

  the antagonistic spirits. The narrative frequently shifted between past and future timelines, but these transitions only served to repeat familiar scenes.
  
  The female lead character was portrayed as both cute and strong, but her continued naivety despite numerous encounters with the malevolent spirits felt unrealistic and frustrating. Sadly, I found myself fast-forwarding through certain episodes due to a lack of engagement and an overall sense of boredom. While the actors delivered commendable performances, the shortcomings of the writing and directing were evident.

  This fantasy drama had its moments, but overall, it failed to fully captivate my attention. Despite my love for fantasies, something about this series just didn't click for me. However, there was one standout performance by Lin Shi Jie that kept me invested. The visuals were visually appealing, and while the rest of the cast delivered decent performances, nothing truly stood out.
  
  Typically, outstanding dramas leave a lasting impact with their storytelling, but unfortunately, this series fell short in that regard. Although I made it through...

  all the episodes, I struggled to recall much of the storyline until the final few installments. Perhaps I will give it another chance in the future, but I'm unsure if it's worth the investment. Only time will tell.
