Excuse my non-professional review, but as a person who randomly picks things on netflix that are suggested I was not only thoroughly entertained by this show, but, I think I like it quite a lot. It has an engaging and intriguing story, it has action adventure, really cool costumes and backgrounds and props, very good cinematography, and some sweet love stories. The only thing I have to say is: How could you do this to us? Leave us hanging like this in episode 24? We need another episode soon!

I thoroughly enjoyed this well acted and entertaining story. If you like romance, mysticism, drama and of course zombies, then watch this. Each episode develops the characters well and moves the quirky storyline along at a good pace.

As a lifelong lover of Asian cinema and TV, and the cultures in general, I find this to be yet another fantastic example of a slow-burning Chinese drama. It has everything I want from such a vehicle... well developed characters that occupy a fascinating environment, interesting cultural elements and historical themes, intriguing traditional mysticism, all bound up in a truly compelling narrative. Oh and zombies! My one slight criticism is with the subtitles, they go by so fast that I often have to rewatch a scene so as to make sure that I can follow all of the action onscreen. But I guess that's maybe more of a flaw in me than in the production itself. I watched season one on Netflix in only two sittings and I'm extremely pleased to say that I've just begun to watch season two on Amazon Prime and I expect to get through it in a similarly short amount of time. I just cannot recommend this fabulous show enough. 9\10.

This drama is fun to watch, however the female lead acting distracts me with her bland acting, the way she delivers the character annoys me.

Still overal the drama is great. I especially like the male lead and want to check more of his works. I'd recommend it to everyone if you like mystery and entertaining series!

OMGosh! I can't express, in text (but possibly in interpretive dance), how great this show is (thank you Netflix for letting westerners have access to it)! Mystery, Comedy, Romance, Supernatural, Drama, History, Suspense...all you could want but so much more. It's addictive and well balanced. Its strangely comforting because you grow so attached to the characters. It's main story arc is often in the background to the murders the brill team solve per couple of episodes - although that makes it seem formulaic, yet its not. The production and cinematography are high class. I think it's the characters that I fell in love with the most. My favourite, the female protagonist, kick's ass. I get a similar feeling when watching Dr Who or Sherlock. If you don't mind subtitles then you'll be happy if you watch this.
