FS22
The storyline is overall well written, but I find the fast moving plot blurs out many details that could have been explored had they made this a few episodes longer. The plot also focused more on love story and the big picture instead of the small details. I find the last two episodes rushed with a lot of informations crammed together. When I thought I could savor one scene, they quickly jumped to another scene. Though ends are tied and everything falls in place, I wasn’t really satisfied with the superficial delivery of the story. Also, there are certains scenes that really were just pulled to save the characters at crucial times without sufficient in-depth story to explain why it happened. They had this parents love and protection thing from Harry Potter to help FL save ML, complete with them standing behind the FL. It was cringey no matter how I look at it. They also made the FL have power so easily after reviving without going in-depth to her situation, it’s using her Goddess status to her advantage. Also, I was expecting the ML to showcase his efforts during the last battle or shown us his new highest form of power, but not only he did not even went to fight, they killed him right after he gain his new power.
What draws me to this drama is the ML. His character developed significantly, from someone without feelings to someone who sacrifices everything for his loved one. Compared to him, the FL’s character went through only minor development, which is why I feel her sudden mature, responsible and austere character towards the end is forced upon her just because of her identity as the Goddess. Two thirds of the story she’s just like a spoiled pampered princess who has the ML protecting her from start to finish, and then all of a sudden she changed personality to a completely different person. Sorry, but I’m not feeling the genuity of the changes on her part no matter what grounds given. The FL’s character is like most xianxia FLs, naive and cute, but to me she’s not one that stands out, much less leave an impression. If the writers had gone in-depth to develop her character, I probably would have liked her better, but as of how it ended, she isn’t one that I would glorify.
The cast is good, all of them delivered their roles well. I have to give two thumbs up to Dylan Wang for his portrayal of DFQC. He really nailed it. The vibe he gave out in the drama as the lord demon is phenomenal. He set the bar high and made the character his, it would be hard to find another lord demon like him.
Wardrobe and music are good, made the drama even more enjoyable to watch.
Overall, it’s an entertaining drama if you enjoy fast paced love story. For me personally, I really enjoyed the first half of it, but I’m disappointed towards the end as it did not fulfill my expectations.
