Love it

Looking forward to seeing 《Castle in Time》for a long time. Finally here it is. Thought this was filmed in 2016, but Zhehan was still handsome and professional.

This is the first drama i watched since August 13, 2021. Thanks a lot Zhang Zhehan! Without you, I don't watch any TV programmes. Just Love yours.

Zhang's talent, combined with his attention to detail and dedication, makes him a standout actor in the industry. If you're a fan of historical romances or fantasy dramas, "Castle in Time" is a must-watch, and Zhang Zhehan's performance is not to be missed.

Nice TV series

I enjoy castle in the time, especially Zhang Zhehan 's performance is great, he is really a very good actor. He is a very good actor and a very talented singer. I appreciate Zhang Zhehan's acting skills, his performance is natural and in line with the character in the TV series, his voice is also very good, and he is very handsome. It's a very happy drama, I could not help laughing in every episode. Gu Chijun is a tough and gentle man, Xu Zhen is a cute and brave girl. Castle in the Time is a very enjoyable romantic drama comedy. I love the male and female leads Zhang Zhe Han and Park Min Young!

Funny and Cute

I heard this drama was filmed over six years ago. So I know the story is old, the fashion is old. But to my surprise, the acting is delightful because the actor and actress are so cute, and the story is funny. To kill some time and feel amused, this is a good show. Please don't be too serious about it.
I am also happy to see Chinese and Korean actors and actresses collaborate in the drama. It must not be easy to act when you don't understand your partner's language. I wonder how these actors and actresses react to their drama six years later. Will they feel funny and awkward to watch themselves acting six years ago? Anyway, I like drama, especially the main characters, who are all handsome and beautiful. It helps me destress.

A nice romantic comedy

Although the plot is a bit cliche, the show was made a few years ago and the cast (including charming actors and actresses) shines with their charming looks. Excellent performances, especially Zhang Zhehan's portrayal of the arrogant star Gu Chijun, are the cornerstone of the show's charm. Gu Chijun's character seems arrogant, but he is very soft at heart. His interactions with the heroine are full of sweet moments, which is irresistible. Park Min Young's appearance and acting skills are both top-notch in the drama, the heroine Heo Jin played by her is cute, naughty and smart. The show, while narratively familiar, becomes an enjoyable watch that leaves viewers wanting more.

Relatable, comedic, potentially heartwarming

This is such a fun AND funny show! Usually, comedy is such a hit-or-miss but the way the humor is weaved in the narrative is diverse so I feel like atleast a few jokes should land for almost everyone! I have alot of laugh out loud moments, thanks for Gun’s brand of comedy for Ryan’s character. Plus the sound effects are so cleverly used to enhance the funny moments. The characters also feel lively and the setting lends to some really unique and dynamic scenes. Off and Gun are wonderful and I’m really digging their assigned characters here. Won’t say much on the plot as of yet but the character arcs are set in a way that promise some satisfactory growth for the two main leads! Love to see the duality Ryan possesses – so competent at home but still stumbling (but slowly but surely finding his footing) at the internship. Can’t wait to see how their arcs unfold and how their love blossoms! It will particularly interesting to see the uber competent Jane letting down his walls and falling for Ryan but we all know who's developing the crush first, lol. xP

Kind of boring

So... not sure if I'm just dumb or skipped around too much but I don't quite understand some parts of this show. The gist of plot is about how the Japanese/Nationalist government tries to find a Communist spy within their midst with the codename "Ghost". In order to do so, they decided to lock 5 suspects together in a mansion (lol) and basically "interrogate" (torture) them. None of the characters know who "Ghost" is (except for "Ghost" of course) and can only make educated guesses on who the "Ghost" really is. Hence, what results is a lot of talking, gossiping, and plotting to try and tease out the identity of the "Ghost". This does not make for entertaining viewing when the characters spend chunks of time sitting around a table monologuing and trying to manipulate each other. 38 episodes of this gets old real fast and I had to fast forward so much because I was losing interest. I get that this is a espionage thriller but this is wayyyy too much scheming and talking for a drama. Doesn't help that there is an average of 3 flashbacks per episode to show the backstory of the characters and that is just too many flashbacks come on... Some plot points made zero sense as well. Also, the CGI was horrifically bad and the props looked extremely low budget.

The 2 female characters are Mary Sues. Li Ning Yu especially so with her being beautiful, extremely intelligent, a top rated cryptographer who also coincidentally has 0 flaws. Her relationship with the other female character Gu Xiao Meng was confusing (to me) as she seemed to treat Gu coldly then suddenly revert to being warm and vice versa. It was strange. Chinese social media shipped them together but I don't get it. Censorship like what happened in A couple of Mirrors? Who knows. Actress playing Gu also overacts a fair bit which is cringey.

Conclusion: Plot seems more suited for a movie. Strong propaganda overtones as well considering the time period this drama is set in.

Trying to start it as so many reviews gave it a solid 10, however, first two episodes were absolutely boring, the interaction between the two leads are boring, and bland. The humour last 3s, and the setting world, despite having fantasy elements, is nothing new, as a matter of fact, if you make it into 6 countries/kingdoms, it is the same! When the heaven empress displayed no real virtue of being a heaven empress, you wonder how they manage to become a god....

The lead actress’s acting is overdone in a lot of scenes, the lead actor - meh >_> lacking the charisma, so far, the god of night was the only one stand out. plus the usual tropes in literally every scene -.-

I felt increasing bored as the minute goes on. Too much yapping, music is forgettable, the ending theme song has this kinda annoying voice but good backtrack, though I wouldn’t sticking around to finish hearing that song either. CGI is kinda bad, not great details, maybe if you have no life and could sit there to watch another 10hrs for it to get better, then give it a try?

For people who have watched a lot of xianxia/wuxia series, it is nothing they haven’t seen before

Fantasy/ Romance

This has been one of the most amazing drama that I have watched so far. I am more than excited to watch the rest of the episodes. Just waiting to be released in English subtitles. I believe the more episodes I watch the better I would understand the story. I like this drama because of their acting. All the characters have played so well, especially the main leads. It's an amazing drama to watch, especially during this pandemic where nothing feels interesting to watch. It’s so boring and I am glad I have found something interesting. I highly recommend watching this drama.

What a shitty stupid show. They're just modelling clothes and doing pp. 🤢💩 I would give negative ratings if it's possible!

The ML did an awesome job in 3 Body Problem as a professor but here, it's all wasted. Only the oldest version of the Candle In The Tomb series was worth watching. The rest, esp those starring idol faces, are full of poor acting, plot holes, illogical sequences and a few lads trying to look cool. The series went from bad to worst as years pass. Nothing short of trashy.

They're not taking this seriously at all. Maybe most viewers are nymphoic and don't care about sensible quality storylines. How else can I reason the many trashy productions involving idol faces??? Watching this reduces my intellect. Makes one angry and irritated for no good reason.
