Strong Start, predictable end!

So I watched this show because I wanted to watch smth similar to Alice In Borderland And Die Now, and I watched this. I'll try not to give spoilers and just write generally.

Watched the trailer, gave me alot of expectations but I wasn't disappointed. First few eps are really good, but then towards the middle and end it kinda stops your hype. It's like, you'll be able to predict what happens next. Now alot of people compared this show to Alice in borderland. I'll tell you what's the difference. Alice In Borderland plays with your mind, you'll be playing with the characters and trying to solve with them which makes it quite interesting. SG games are also good, but you'll just figure it out quickly.

Acting wise is good. All of the actors have done a good job. So i think that's ok.

For me, i think i expected alot after watching AIB and Die Now (chinese drama, really good. If you have time do check it out) But ig that hype died down as i was watching further eps. If this is your first time in this kind of genre or if you just want to watch it, go for it. This show is not all bad, you might be disappointed at some parts but overall its good. But personally for me, Japan will always take the cake for this types of genre.

Hope you have a great time watching!

Worth Your Time

If you think this a chinese version of "Goblin", then no. It's much more than that. And I'll be breaking this review into parts.

PLOT:
The story was well written. There might've been some dull moments here and there but that won't stop you from continuing the episode. First few episodes were build up stories and then main plot starts. The story flow was great and every story had equal attention. Romance, mystery, dark, thriller, every flavor was added. There might be some parts that you might not understand and have to watch 2-3 times to get the gist of it but it's all cool. No unnecessary love triangles, no good person turning bad, nothing like that. Story will keep you hooked!

CHARACTERS:
The main characters, Bai Qi and Lin Xia had amazing chemistry. The female lead, Lin Xia might act childish in the first 3 episodes but then her character develops into a sarcastic and mature one. Bai Qi seems cold and rude but as time goes, he starts to understand everything and let's that quirky side out! Second main leads Yang Jian and XiaoXiao are also absolute delight to watch. Yang Jian is a clueless mind who's still adapting to the ways of life whereas XiaoXiao is a glittery star who wants his attention (not in a bad way tho, it's just she's drawn to him). Yang Jian's character is adorable whom you'll want to protect and keep him safe!

Many people didn't like the storyline of the other side characters, specially Shen Zui and Miss Lu, but I loved it. The side characters story was really heartbreaking and emotional. It gave a break from the main leads story, which was good in a way.

CINEMATOGRAPHY:
Extremely well done! From CGI to appealing background and scenes, everything looked beautiful. Flow of scenes were also very well done. It'll make you think that you're actually in a fairlyland.

OST:
The main part. The background scores were so soothing I'm not even exaggerating. Probably my first show where I loved every ost to the core! Ost's are played at the right moment to connect with the scenes which makes it more good. If you watch the whole drama and listen to the Ost alone, you might cry. The songs are THAT good. It gave a heavenly, angelic vibe.

CONCLUSION:
Give it a chance! Probably the most amazing show you'll watch. It's not cliche, nor boring or anything in that line. This drama is worth your time! You'll fall in love!
