I like it so far. It's different; it's set in the 80s and it's a lot more serious than THE LOST TOMB.

Hu Bayi, the main character, is a retired soldier in his early 40s. He's honest, pragmatic, poor and cares a lot about the few people in his life, especially his friend Wang Kaixuan, called Pangzi.

I'm so happy you did! ❤
These two are so obviously made for each other, you just want them to stop pining and just leave together at the end of the movie.

(Nah, don't worry, I can wait. ;) )

After I AM NOBODY, I expected something else, I admit, but while this drama is completely different, it's just UNBELIEVABLY good. It feels very, very real and hits where it hurts most, while still being a supernatural drama and having some unexpected comedy elements. I love it so far.

Finished I AM NOBODY yesterday.
Absolutely loved the ending, like everything else about the show. I'd be perfectly content if it ends there and never gets another season, but I wouldn't mind to see more either.
(But I know how hard it can be to get all the actors back for another round.)

Also these two. One is a rich kid who became a monk, the other is a popular idol. Both are powerful sorcerers.
No one told me they would be so shippable. But hey, one can never have enough rivalry-to-friendship duos.

And if Chulan and Baobao don't break your heart, then I don't know what will.
I love these two and their relationship, they're just so precious and protective of each other.
If this drama doesn't get a second season, I'll be very disappointed.
(Can't believe there's still no fic on AO3. BLASPHEMY!)

Okay, I AM NOBODY is just UNBELIEVABLY good.
It looks and feels exactly like the live-action version of a shônen manga and balances the genre-typical mix of humor, action and more serious storytelling REALLY, really well.

My only complaint are the short episodes and that there's only 27 of them.

What a goofy, little show, I thought.
Great entertainment, but nothing too serious, I thought.
And then episodes 10 and 11 completely destroyed me.
This show is really quite something.

God, I absolutely ADORE Hou Minghao as Wang Ye in this, he's so laid-back and idle and just seems to be a genuinely nice person.
Also, that ending theme song is amazing, I wish I could buy it somewhere. But trying to find songs from Chinese dramas anywhere legally is a pain in the butt, sadly.
