This director has dreadful camera angles. Everything is either overly zoomed in or at awkward and visually unappealing…
Exactly. I’ve tried to express this same sentiment. It’s not really about the budget or special effects. Those can be overcome. It’s the overall low quality production value and what seems like a really amateur director who should have never have been chosen to helm this project. He was given incredible ingredients to work with but simply doesn’t have the tools. His style is amateurish and beyond outdated. Some people say it’s giving more Donghua vibes /Anime vibes but it’s being done poorly. Other adaptations do not look so amateurish. His angels, editing style are not good. And it’s also unbalanced. Some scenes look very nice while others are cringe. There are moments that work followed by “wtf is this” And it’s a shame because it’s very stark.
Xu Kai looks absolutely gorgeous though and this allows him to show off his incredible skills but it’s like having a a Diamond in mud.
I’m really surprised Weibo is responding favorably. I want the best for Xu Kai so I’m happy if they are liking the drama but quite surprised.
Yin Tao is one of my favorite directors. He never misses. He understands characters and pacing and storytelling and always creates beautiful visuals. Destined is Shaping up to be top 3 drama of the year imo.
I want him in more costume drama’s as a ML. He is SEXY and funny and has incredible timing and expressions! He absolutely SHINED in My uncanny destiny!
This was honestly too too cute! Really entertaining and hits all the right notes. Doesn’t take itself seriously but also has two incredibly smart leads who somehow play both sides of comedy and drama perfectly. A lot of kissing. ML is very sexy and really kisses. So if you’re in the mood, enjoy lol
It’s his company’s fault. They put him these productions for their own benefit not his. It’s super frustrating.…
I read that it was S+ ????
P.S. I have loved dramas with poor CGI. That’s not my main issue with this one. Aside from the CGI it simply poorly produced. You absolutely do not need effects to make a high quality production. Just good direction, editing and creative team.
