This drama had the potential to be the best Fox Spirit Matchmaker… until the writers messed up and made me so pissed off… I was on the verge of rating this 1 star and calling it the worst FSM (it’s not). But the title is extremely misleading.
The early episodes of the drama promised a male centric story with heartwarming romance + bromance but ended up delivering only a portion of that.
The first half of the drama was a solid 10/10 but then it felt like the writers had switched. The character’s inconsistencies were evident, as well as the main couple’s romance being changed to friendship/master-disciple. Some parts of the plot were brilliant, others a headache.
I do have mixed feelings. It was kind of good but also quite disappointing. I guess if you are going in for the plot and the side couple’s romance, you might enjoy it. But if you are going in for Cheng Yi and the main couple’s romance, you’ll probably end up disappointed.
this was a realllllyyyy good drama in the start but when qingtong and fugui got separated it just went downhill. Because i watched LOVE IN PAVILLION i was so excited for this but its a HUGE DISSAPPOINTMENT i loved LIP and really cried watching that even in this drama in every HONGYE or HUAIZHU(flashbacks as she is dead) scenes i cried my eyes out but they just ruined everything in the end.
My most fav scenes from this whole drama would be just two : 1. HONGYE and FUGUI clearing their misunderstandings in BAMBOO PAVILLION. 2.The CGI of all members of Mask Group members appearing when fugui unleashed the last heaven and earth strike to destroy the barrier.
Everyone that handle Fox Spirit matchmaker series need to be fired. First one was awful, second one was kinda decent, this one is meh. They have so many budget for FX and actors but can't hire decent writers. I had so much expectation from this series.
