Another disconnected dynasty story

This was a filler drama for me. Thirty-nine episodes with filler writing, disjointed plot, plot holes, short cuts, mediocre CGI, good fighting skills, mediocre battle scenes, mediocre villains, grandiose ambitions. Di ZiYuan, Han Ye and Luo Mingxi were obsessed with a decade's old conspiracy that annihilated the Di clan and its 80,000 soldiers.

Han Ye
Jing's Crown Prince Charming's countenance was pretty to behold. He seemed to have one pained expression most of the time. He was steadfast, but possessed with the guilt complex of the Di clan massacre, and was obsessed with Di Ziyuan for ten years. His POV or internalizing over Ziyuan was OOTP (obsessive over the top). He loved diving off cliffs, and he survived without a scratch on his face or any broken bones. His red costume made him look regal.

Ren Anle/Di Ziyuan
Ren Anle Pirate Captain of the Anle Abode Navy was OTP. She was touchy feely wiith the Crown Prince, but he was nonplussed. He was too polite to tell her to back off. The People's Princess Di Ziyuan had two mantras, "80,000 soldiers", the #1 song hit of Jing, and "30,000 soldiers", the #2 song hit of Jing. Her heavy black eyebrows and white foundation makeup oveshadowed Dilraba's acting performance. Her red costumes made her look regal.

Luo Mingxi
Luo Mingxi was too mopey. He was always harping about the revenge plan, but we never saw him planning anything. It might have been all in his head. He was obsessed with Ziyuan, because she was his bride -to-be since birth. Meanwhile, he had the dreaded cough. His red costume made him look regal.

Mingxi was Jing's best tactitian, but I would not want him handling my invasion plan. He rerouted a massive Jing army enroute to Qingnan City to Ziyuan 's distant location to rescue her, instead of splitting the army into two rescue units, to assist General Anning and General Ziyuan. That was a waste of manpower because Han Ye had already rescued Ziyuan. The trio did not set out for Qingnan to assist Anning and Qignan. General Anning died, and Qingnan fell into the hands of the enemy Qin. Han Ye, Ziyuan, Mingxi, Anning failed the strategic planning and execution, teamwork and collaboration executive courses.

The acting, BGM and song music were very good. The writing and CGI were subpar. The producing, directing, writing and editing teams failed in teamwork and collaboration.

Overall rating changed to 7.
