A good drama
The thim of drama is goodBut everything else is average
Acting - male lead character are ok female - she need to take some supplementary acting classes
Chemistry - A typical Chinese love triangle,
Although they tried to depict Nave , cute , lovely female character they somehow ended up making dumb character for female lead.
Graphic - most of motion are in straight line,
They don't even try to hide the fact that they are using rope for flying scenes ( characters posture look like they are being drag by rope)

Bland story
Acting - bland( actors are behaving like they have nothing to do with surrounding and story)Graphic - look like done by some newbie
Story - there is nothing creative more like travel log of some commoner
Chemistry - nothing worth looking for , regular Chinese troope, where multiple male character fall in love with females lead for absolutely no reason or for silly reason.
Female lead spend most of her time with second male lead for reason unknown
Overall - nothing special , feel like diary written by some individual

Alchemy of Souls Season 2: Light and Shadow
4 people found this review helpful
A disappointing sequel of Great Story
Season 1Story was great, The author builded very appealing, likable , interesting , and engaging story,
The story had ' soul '
The world was explorable.
Characters were alive, there interactions look rights from their perspective. They had their belief, even antagonist had their own rationale and personalities.
MC chemistry was great , it felt personal
SEASON 2
I just want to say " you tried your best " on the grave 🪦 of second season , The crew collectively murdered the story.( I like to press murder charges against production crew for successfully murdering a beautiful story, if that is possible)
* I May be little biased towards season 2 because they replaced the female lead

Good world building
The world created by drama remain consistent on rules and possibilities they themselve set on. Story was good , actors character were immersive and behave the same way a normal human being behave under given circumstances. Characters were alive and behaviour were logical and responce were within bound to the characters.World building - 10/10
Characters chemistry - 10/10
Immersiveness in story 10/10
Overall. -. good
Personal opinion:-
What I find repulsive - love triangle thing .
The female character interaction with second male lead. ( I find annoying)

Copy and paste of Chinese republic era drama
It has worst storyThey tried to potrate intelligent female mc , but ended up making stupid thing.
She is intelligent agent yet believe in anything that common man can find suspicious, easily manipulated without efforts by any character in drama
It has common trope of Chinese republic era drama
1) female lead(FL) parent are killed
2) she is taking revenge
3) marries to male led relatives
4) male lead is supposedly the perpetrators of fl family massacre
5) fl is sexy seductress ( dancer, some successful merchant)
6) plot is driven by misunderstanding rather something that matter
7) fl is brain ded or at least with rotten brain or not working
8) no character development
9) male lead is military officer
10) rather than developing character they are tools to progress stories
This formula is used by 90% of Republican era short Chinese drama,
If anyone know drama with something else than above mentioned mold pleaz let me know
Thanks

A story worth watching
It has good combination of1) story
2)cast
3) world
Whole story has good flow, not like Korean drama where they make emotion intense at last five minutes , many advertisements (they are becoming annoying , and symbol of decline of Korean drama industry as they have to rely on that extra money)
For mandatory 500 words

We written story and good drama
It is good dramaFl:- given her best
Ml :- given his best
Ambience:- up to the timeline
What I find odd:-
In episode three at starting the invaders ( qing Dynasty warriors) Armor is waving in wing like cloths, that type of Armor had steel plating inside and even if steel plating were absent the harden leather doesn't flap in wind , editor shoul have spotted this little things
Everything else is all right What I find odd:-

Everything else is all right
Ending look to commercial ( abrupt change in personality of both main character hence I reduced overall rating from 10 to 7.5
Word filler( to make 500 words)
