My Last Immortal

drama notes:
TLI falls short in showing the viewer something new that we haven’t seen before in every other Xianxia drama. This being said, I wish that the characters surprised me and I was able to see something on screen that I couldn’t predict happening next.

Despite this, I was a bit more forgiving of the plot holes, weak cgi and predictability because of the acting performance that our two leads put on. Chemistry, sad emotions, happy emotions, I could always feel them when watching the performance of Lu Si and Wang An Yu. In dramas, I love seeing the leads grow, meet new people and journey the world and I’m happy I got to see these elements within this drama. A’Yin was my favorite character of the show and albeit predictable, It was exciting to see after all the struggle, her true form was finally able to backup an already strong willed personality.
rating: 7

⸢ rating scale ⸥

How do I rate dramas?

i rate dramas by weighing pros + cons between the storytelling, visual fx, romantic feel + acting. If a drama has more pros than cons, it will lose rating points which leads me to one of the scores below.

10: A Cinematic Masterpiece	While there is no perfect drama imo, there are dramas that come pretty close. This rating looks like intricate villains, beautiful OSTs and enchanting storytelling
9: Great	Something I loved and would recommend but there may have been something amiss in delivering the story
8: Very Good	I had a good time watching it, but there were just a couple of things missing (i.e. draggy, lack of romance, misplaced storytelling)
7: Good/Enjoyable	It has the potential to be great, but it just wasn't there. The ride was satisfactory, but nothing to write to home about
6: Above Average/"Okay"	It's like when you expected more but then settled for less? I wanted you to be great but you were just okay.
*5: Totally Average:* Not Amazing, Not Horrible**	Just meh. Wasn't enough to keep me fully satisfied. I shut off my brain when watching
<4: Below Average/Dreadful	There's nothing interesting or exciting enough here. Many things wrong not enough right & something that I probably should've dropped
Dropped	Typically this comprises of dramas I either had on hold for way too long OR weren't meeting my expectations or interests
