Avenging
This review may contain spoilers
Plot Convenience & Plot Armour embodied in a drama. Also quite a mess
Edit: now finished. What a mess this truly is. Backstory was a joke. The last few episodes were kinda ridiculous in my eyes. (Though I did like the gravestone-dancing scene lol). So I had to go down with the rating imo.
Disclaimer: Own Opinion (the following is based on the first 22 episodes)
I just don't know what to say anymore to this show. Like it started of interesting and then went downhill.
Like if our main guy ever is in trouble you'll know within like 5 minutes he'll either level-up (reach a new realm), learn a new technique or a random grandmaster will appear who saves him. (Also the power scaling makes no sense sometimes, like you are in an RPG game level 70 and fight against a lvl 90, you lose; then you level up to 71 and now suddenly you can defeat the level 90, yet lose against every other lvl 80)
I feel like the drama could have been better if you removed the main male character. Like it is so ret**ded. It's like saying to someone let's do A, then you go ahead and do B and then get mad at the other person for not doing B, after explicitly having told them to do A prior to it. Sometimes I asked myself if they gave the main character a bipolar personality (as well he in fact is two; definitely two personalities). Also the words respect of propriety do not exist for our main guy, as well who cares about other people if you know you'll survive and even get a power-up if you are ever in trouble
Like even the male "villain" (or for someone people the saintess) in the first few episodes has not even reached the level of disdain I have for the main character. And then when Qin Lie ""protected"" (double quotation marks on purpose, it is just that bad) the sect I came so close to quitting this show.
As for the main female. I like the backstory (from what we know so far) and the fact that she is not overpowered (yet?) and thinks rationally.
Acting was quite solid for the most part, especially considering it's a younger and less experienced main cast.
As for the music I quite like Rock and it also fit the fighting scenes. However there is one soundtrack which just reminds me of Star Wars (you'll hopefully know the one I mean, can be heard within the first few eps). Along with the Space Ship battle in ep 22 I lost it...
Rewatch value... how about no. Just look for a different drama? Like I can withstand stupidity to a certain degree but like having to go through that struggle again.. not worth it.
