I'm a fan of both the novel and Xiao Zhan. Though the drama has made several changes, I appreciate how they retold the story of Tang San and the Shi Lan Ke Seven Devils. They have managed to keep things exciting and visually appealing. At its core, it remains true to the original intent of TJSS, and I think that's a great achievement of the drama
