Costume & Fantasy Drama (2021 )

COMPLETED

SPOILER

PLOT/STORYLINE:   Original story with a catchy twist in the beginning, but the high expections weren't fulfilled. Lots of  hypocrisy, black and white story,  A girl grew up alone with her father in a remote area within a tribe living secluded and with the task to keep the world save from a fire inferno. The inferno was caused by the royal family and the Patron Goddess, which was not really a goddess, The Goddess was a creation between an alien looking like animal and a human.  The girl was the patron goddess . The relationship between the main characters were boring, also not new and bad executed because bad acting..

CHARACTER & ACTING : Only well-developed and engaging character was the father of the girl who is the patron goddess. The main character looks and act boring, without the ability of showing any emotions. Therefore there was no chemistry. Miscasting. No  character development. 

ACTING QUALITY:   Main Characters  weren't capable of portraying a range of emotions, no fun factor

VISUALS, PRODUCTION, CUT, REGIE, CINEMATOGRAPHY:  Fighting Scenes were good,  Fantasystoryline could have been better, Visuals were good, sounds were ok,  nice nature shots, scenes, impressive surroundings and effects,

COSTUMES, PROPS, SETTING:  good quality.

FANTASY  the world-building  was  wad good, but the lore has lots of weaknesses.

PACING , ENGAGEMENT, EMOTIONAL IMPACT:  There were exciting scenes, especially in the beginning, but it got more an more dragging, in the end I scrolled a lot.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: I had high expectations, because the beginning was immersing, but I got more and more disappointed which led to aggressions and Annulment.  But the Visuals and Cinematography, Costumes, props and setting was very good. The display of human relationships was very very weak and the acting bad.

DROPPED 

PLOT/STORYLINE:  There was a sinful couple (immortals) which get punished, the women has repeatedly to reincarnate into a life with bad luck, the man became a demon who watches other demons. By Chance the girl get in the world of the demon. The demon wanted to kill her, but could because of their past. So they got stuck together. Relationship dynamics are nothing new, but bad played.

CHARACTER & ACTING : Main Characters are boring, and not well-developed , there is no chemistry.  Their relationship dynamics meant to be funny, but they weren't able to bring it.

ACTING QUALITY:  bad action skills. Maybe the male lead character would be good in another kind of character, but for this main male lead character he was a miscast. Same with the female lead, she is worse.

VISUALS, PRODUCTION, CUT, REGIE, CINEMATOGRAPHY:  Fighting Scenes were bad, fantasy storyline was weak, cinematography was very bad, visuals were very bad

COSTUMES, PROPS, SETTING: Costumes  and probs poor quality, only the normal clothing was nice.

FANTASY  the world-building was disappointing  and the  lore boring.

PACING , ENGAGEMENT, EMOTIONAL IMPACT:  no/bad emotional impression, dragging, lot of scrolling, couldn't take it anymore and dropped it after two episodes.

OVERALL IMPRESSION: I dropped it, that says everything.

COMPLETED

SPOILER

PLOT/STORYLINE: It's starts with a lore about how the current kingdom was build. It was bulit on the strong soldiers/Army of one Family which weren't nobles or royals, but afterwards they were handled as on of the ruling family and counties. The story starts with the eldest son who doesnt want to learn material arts or has anything to do with politics. He travels for 3 years around the world with his butler (who is in secret his bodyguard). When he came back, he has to leave again, so it's also a companian story on a journey. Also politics was part of the story. It's original, catchy, consistent, fresch without familiar trope. It's also not black and white. There are a lot of Twist and turns. It's also very funny (more like dark humor ).   Story is also a little "Comic-Style" (Martial Art Style). Lovestory is more a sidestory, but crucial. Lot of Action, no boring talking scenes.

CHARACTER & ACTING : well-developed,  good casting choice in general, funny, the male character is witty, pretending to be a playboy and never play with open cards, very scheming, but good-hearted. The female main character grew up with him, they have a kind of love- hate relationship. She is clumsy, pretend to be fierce (looks more like a cute baby cat which tries to be fierce), and good-hearted. She knows the male main character best, it's a love-hate relationship.. The father of the main male lead is also a very interesting part of the story, he holds all the strings till nearly the end. In General good acting, Main Male Lead lacks a little bit.

VISUALS, PRODUCTION, CUT, REGIE, CINEMATOGRAPHY:  Fighting Scenes are very good , no flaws detected , "flying skill" well executed , nice landscapes, very good visual effects, props  everything is high quality,good fantasy world-building  only in the end it was a little bit dragging

OVERALL IMPRESSION: I can still remember a lot, despite it has been a while. This says everything about it.

 SCROLLT FORWARD
