A Wild Tale: Chaotic Scriptwriting with Plot Holes and Logic Flaws
So, here's the scoop on this drama – it's like trying to catch a greased-up pig at a carnival. The script? It's like a squirrel on an espresso binge, darting all over the place without a care in the world. You start off thinking you're in for a sensible plot, but suddenly it nosedives off a cliff into a pit of absurdity.
The story is supposed to be about this super-secret martial arts script that makes people the crème de la crème of fighters. But guess what? It's not much of a secret when everyone and their grandma are going all "gimme that script!"
The drama is set in this historical backdrop, but don't expect any history lessons. It's like mixing your cereal with orange juice – just doesn't go together. It's wuxia with a dash of xianxia thrown in for good measure.
Now, brace yourselves for the rollercoaster of relationships. At first, you've got these two buddies, Murong Chong (Ao Ruipeng) and Fu Hong (Deng Chaoyuan aka Aaron Deng), looking all chummy. But out of nowhere, they start chomping on bananas together. Yep, bananas! Then Xiao Ru (Zong Yuanyuan), a street urchin, gets roped into impersonating Murong Chong's supposedly dead sister. She's like "Oh, Fu Hong, you're handsome and sweet!" But wait, she's betrothed to Fu Hong, and he's crushing on her too. Suddenly, Murong Chong's like "Step aside, Fu Hong!" It's like a love triangle in a washing machine.
But that's not all – there are more twisted family ties here than a bowl of spaghetti. Character development? Nah, these folks are about as one-dimensional as a pancake. The acting is emotionless; even when the going gets tough, their expressions don't match the situations.
And don't even get me started on the final showdown – it's like watching synchronized swimming, literally. By the end, you're left with more questions than answers. Who's Xiao Ru, and where did she pop out from? Apparently, she's a time traveler, but it's as random as finding a pineapple in Antarctica.
My Verdict
In the end, this drama's about as clear as mud. It's a hot mess that even a GPS can't navigate. Save your sanity – go watch something else.
