crown princes, swap-sedan flower brides and memory loss episodes
This drama? Whew.....Wasn't Mediocre in any sense.... yet!! from the plot and characters to the casting Nothing screamed “wow,” actually .. and the there were so many boring patches so I skipped generously and brought it down from 35 hours to a more survivable 25-ish. The show is packed with pointless and frustrating segments and characters that add about as much value as a decorative pillow on a park bench.
The plot started out okay ,then turns interesting around episode 5-6 remains good till about 32 but last 7-8 episodes were not up to my taste ..so much melodrama sacrifices where they were least required .. i mean .. Full-on disaster. the memory loss issue is used too many times 👎👎the ML is never in his right mind whenever his action is required and the heavy liabilities like "we wont kill our clansmen even if these clansmen screw the living shit out of us " unreasonable attitude totally killed the joy for me.
Spoiler Alert: The ending is absolute garbage... though satisfactory for the fact these boys didnt deserve those fine ladies in the first place. they failed them on multiple occasions so low key i was manifesting this... like hell yeah i wanna see this flop superheroes entangled with their priorities for the rest of their lives.
screenwriting was weak as writer tried to cover his/ her lazy work with lame excuses like “filial piety” or “heaven realm duties.” I mean… TO HELL WITH THAT. Nobody’s buying these ancient justifications anymore, sweetie.😑😑
Characters:
FL: She’s a rebel—cool. Strong, independent, makes money, uses her brain. Amazing. Until… she spares ML’s father and I was like “THANK YOU, NEXT.” 🥱she on behalf on an entire clan forgiven him for that bloody massacre... like who even does that.. and not to forget this man was even bullying her own father.
SFL: A sweet girl turned strategic queen. I liked her. She wanted freedom and stayed classy.. even if she played from the sidelines she didn't leave a displeasing taste in my mouth.
ML: Ugh. A second-tier disappointment. He can save the world, but not his own love life from daddy dearest. His endless forgiveness? Exhausting. 😷 dude ! Daddy discarded you the moment you perished ..he was even against your ressurection.
SML: Half the time, he’s getting wrecked. His insecurity from daddy issues and succession vendetta are addressed… but meh, didn’t really help.🤕plus whenever his mother comes around he becomes even more unbearable cause his mother always guides him into becoming a bigger loser than he already was ..for ex: when this mom-son due begging the FL to spare the void king to which he relied with a "F.Y. i dont need your mercy" .. ahh ! statisfaction level MAX.. like really!!!!!! you were begging to save the man who used you and thrown you away along with your son to suffer for centuries on the hands his another consort. Classic case of ZERO DIGNITY.
Birdy (FL’s demon BFF): My absolute favorite. Period. 😘😘
Puppy boy: Surprisingly better than the SML.🥰😍
Useless Crew:
ML’s mom: No backbone, no impact, and somehow... endless screen time. 😖she only came around after ep 35 .. prior to that all her parts were pretty much skippable.
ML’s younger bro: More useful as wallpaper.😣
Casting:
Landy Li (FL), He Xuan (SFL), and Wang Lina (Birdy) and of course Chen Xingxu carried the show .. the leads chemistry is good .. ChenXinG Xu slayed all four persona he played .. if it weren't for the weak character writing itself ..this might have been one of my fav shows.
Styling:
Typical wuxia/xianxia fare. Nothing mind-blowing like TTEOTM or LBFAD, but passable. Bonus points for the accessories.
Music:
One word—Sa Dingding. Her voice in “EST”? Absolutely stole the show. The only thing I genuinely loved about the entire series.
