The lack of communication in this drama will drive you crazy lol

Oh my God does nobody communicate in this drama? so many things could be worked out if the characters just started asking questions but nobody seems to care lol.

Overall I think the acting is just average. I started watching this drama because of Zhang Rou Yan, for having watched him Enjoy of Life and Sword Snow Stride. Originally he started out playing a character or the type of character I really like and that's where he's smart and his actions always keep others guessing. All that went right out the window when he met the female lead and I feel like he started acting quite out of character after that. He starts acting recklessly and overly emotional and was willing to throw all his plans right out the window for her. He also never communicated with her about anything so it's no wonder that she constantly misunderstood him. Also another problem I have with her.

So the Female lead is Yi Fu Ling played by Guan Xaoi Tong. Very naive and kind of stupid, I mean even the uncle of the main male lead at one point when he's thinking of his late wife inwardly comments that her temper is stupid and compared to his wife she isn't very smart ?, this part made me laugh. She doesn't think for herself and hust blindly believes whatever anyone else tells her without thinking oh that might sound suspicious like believing what the person who poisoned her or cursed her says over what the main male says when he tries to explain.

The Crown Prince Ting Jun I kept asking myself why can't he just have an unselfish love for her? Lol. I understand that it was the nail inside of him that forced her to keep her at a distance but I always felt like what he felt for her wasn't love. You love someone you want them to be happy even if that happiness isn't necessarily with you. But instead he just turned angry and resentful and bitter and started doing evil things because he blamed the sky Kingdom but it's like all these were your own actions you decided to do these things.

Even Yu Gain Zhen I initially really liked his character he kind of made me laugh but even he was stupid and didn't question things and just believed what people told him. Like later on when he Discovers Princess Xu Fei Shaung that she was dying he never thought to ask anyone why she was like that. Just automatically blamed the king of the sky Kingdom for her decline, and the closest he came to the truth was when he confronted him later on and the King said he never hurt her no because she did it to herself when she tried to curse the main female lead to die. Even later on when he found out that the king that the humans were building a sky Kingdom and was told that his master had started it he just automatically believed what they were saying since his master wasn't around. Like it's like you're smart you're supposed to be good at inventing things I don't get it the lack of curiosity to find out the motives behind why people do things....

Music is forgettable tbh. The ending song didn't match the theme of the show lol
The CGI was not that great lol.
