Finally finished it.. i know there's another one in production but this one definitely felt like a goodbye forever at the end there. End of an era i guess.
It does feel like the end already got here, but even though the journey was quite bumpy, and plot holes got conveniently explained as "oops I forgot" (er quite literally, Master Xu) I'm glad it's not a repeat of the negativity that was Nanyang - it reminds me why I keep watching this series almost a decade in.
Man they are slowly but surely losing me. There's too many aliens no matter how good the cgi is - I used to love Master Xu's shows for the history references and tomb hunting, but lately the last two feels like War of the Worlds sans Tom Cruise.
10 eps in and Im suddenly realising why a lot of people dont like this show. Yes the AI editting is horrendous, but more issue than that, is that none of the characters are lovable or remotely likeable. It's not even about war and horrors of the Republican times, so how brutal people were to each other in this show is utterly unjustified. This is from someone who the show classifies "unfortunate", and I dont really mind the hypocrisy of the characters because that's pretty realistic, heck I can pretty much name one person in my life for every character here. All I'm saying is that I can see why you'd have at least half the world hating it, and the rest on the fence.
Joseph Zeng is really good at playing spoiled, annoying, hot-tempered, funny, and mischievous characters. He absolutely…
It's good he's back to the things he's good at, although im yet to see HK TVB version bad ass Joseph in cDrama - which would be really really cool but i guess the PR guys said no for image reasons.
What is wrong with chinese directors seriously.
