In this one life he lived up to the world but failed Shi Yi
Different emotional aspects have different weightage for people of different temperaments,while for most viewers the saddest part was their tragic love story but for me it was the unjust death of that general who protected the borders of a country for decades with his life just to be branded as a traitor and dismembered in the end.. sure FL's following him in death was another sentimental peak of this plot... (~And I am a little disappointed that nothing about his previous life really addressed in the sequel ... Anyway we will talk about the sequel in the review of its own).
Talking about the characters and cast I believe Allen depicted the General, beautifully, he captured his essence of him being hopelessly in love yet unable to be the woman he loved, perfectly Through the micro acting details he is best known for ... Though the Character itself was very impractical and inspiring in my opinion cause i believe if you have strength and kindness to be a king better be a king ..if not , then drop the power struggle altogether and refrain from supporting worthless people to the peak with your strength. Pretty obvious his horrible doom was one of the repercussions of the same. Bailu's ShiYi was also amazing but only in the adulthood part .. the teenager part was a complete disaster .. i didn't like the character or bai lu's acting in that part. The reason is that shiyi herself has no skill or purpose and bai lu' acting looks very superficial in the parts when they have to dub Her voice. It's the same for all the shows she did with a voice dub .. i don't understand why they don't hire a proper voice artist with a voice that suits her face. Anyways , WXY's screentime was less but he graced the screen with his lovely looks and superb acting skills .. for being so young at that time he did a fantastic job as a sickly villain.
Dialogue writing was another notice worthy aspect about this drama ... The way the writer relayed the deep sentiments in the form of poetic phrases .... BRILLIANT; be it praising his bones, his real beauty or her longing for him when he was away in the battleground for months 'EVERY WORDS SO BEAUTIFULLY PUT TOGETHER THAT CAN MAKE YOU CRY FOR DAYS' big shoutout to the dialogue writer.
Other things like costumes and OST were mediocre.
Do I recommend watching ... Yes ..if you are up for a soggy romance with a bundle of tissue paper and a frustrating tragic ending that leads nowhere.
We will see each other in the next part~
