Main leads romance parts are written and directed well. The connection felt natural, neither rushed nor slow. No unnecessary misunderstandings. The FL fights scenes are really good and her character really standed out. Support female characters were also written well and I love how they always supported each other. I find some parts/episodes here and there to be dragging. ( It might just be me, cuz I easily get bored😅). But overall a good watch.
I liked that they didn't ruin sml character or tried to make him a villain. yuzhi loved zhao, tried his best respectfully and then when he realized it is not at all working. He moved on. There was nobody that matches his vibe anyway, so he ends up focusing more on his responsibilities😅. Lingbo also had good character development.
The cast did fine. The overall story was good. But the delivery could have been better. They added some unnecessary things in certain parts while they just rushed some other parts. I do enjoy dark romance, healthy romance, anti hero, green flag hero and all. But here their romance was a lil off to me even with many romantic moments. The issue is not the chemistry between ML and FL, but I just find their love story line to be all over the place. But regardless of the flaws, this drama kept me interested from the beginning to end. So the entertaining value is there. I also expected good acting from Zhou yiran and he didn't disappoint.
Can you believe the director is the one that did the Double? I mean that was so good, yet this is so bad. I can't…
the double has 3 directors listed. maybe that is why it was so well done. their skills might have complemented well in it. but here it is just one of them.
I love them but why is she acting so cold, indifferent towards him when she had a whole wholesome confession scene…
she likes him, but still broke up with him that day. she is keeping distance cuz she has to stay loyal to the sect. y'all expect her to be with him right after being punished for the same reason. 😭
ys, the thing is she is not overacting or anything. but the acting looks fake. some of the actions and expressions…
I have criticised esther before too. lol. i am just a multistan and I only started liking esther's acting after seeing my journey to you. ys, i find esther acting really good & natural when she did mature roles like that. some cute roles are fine too cuz i dont hate such roles completely even though I dont like to see such roles all the time. but many actresses has gotten hate when they do childish cute roles cuz some people can't stand such characters at all. esther did many such roles and hence the criticism which i understand to an extent. Similarly i am not shaming or straight up hating on jisoo, i respectfully criticised as a viewer. her role is likable tho.
( i donno why another actress has to end up being a discussion here. but whatever).
