Honestly, Iโm kind of confused about where the criticism of โbad actingโ is even coming fromโI feel like…
I have a feeling many people are mistaking some of the intentionally 'exaggerated' expressions for bad acting. It's a romcom so many situations, actions and expressions are exaggerated at times to match the genre, but it doesn't mean that their acting is bad.
Can someone explain the appearance of all demons who exchanged power with Ji Ling before in the Star Stone realm?…
You mean in the rift, right? After they were all dead?? Ji Ling had the ring with all of their powers and in that moment, their powers kind of manifested into their physical form to help JL. They were still very much dead but in fantasy dramas, as long as they have some remaining power in the world, there is always a potential for manifestation, so it wasn't exactly illogical by cdrama standards.

But I really loved that era too, I keep randomly thinking about their last conversation in the star stone from time to time.
