What was this even..
I might be in the small minority to absolutely utterly hate this show. Pure wastage of my precious times. The storyline was so messy and didn't make any sense,side characters were not given enough moments to make any impact. The romance felt flat for me tbh they fell in love quite fast for my taste and with such boring progress and then had their breakup arc and that lasted more than their dating era. I didn't feel any chemistry neither emotional attachment to the couple. The main lead had no facial expressions i was desperately wanting him to show some expressions but he hardly ever showed. He was injured and weak most of the times but only aura farmed with his face card which is not enough to impress me. Again a stupid stubborn female lead cannot make me root for them at all. She was unrealistically strong and got away with lot of bs and privileges. The only good performance was from the villains and they were the only interesting ones in the show. However instead of showing character development they decided to finish them. Disappointing and I don't understand the hype at all. Good for those who enjoyed cause i really tried but failedWas this review helpful to you?
Great premise poor execution and lack of side character development
How to even start. I had great exceptions from this drama and started with enthusiasm. The fantasy elements and world building was fantastic in the drama. Even the story was really compelling and had me going thru for a lot of eps. There were few arcs that were so deep i nearly felt like i was watching multiple dramas in one drama. However not liking the main characters can really impact everything. Bai suho was really stubborn and annoying for me. I find her extremely annoying and lacking common sense. She had that main character syndrome and the show director had favoritism ( saying this cause i wanted fuling to be the main). Also the main male lead was mid and boring to me too. The romance was mid and cringe. The show was boringggg at most parts and had epic arcs at few parts. That being said, Fu ling was the only reason i watched this show. She was the plot for me. She made me ugly cry and root for her and i really think she deserved better. Chou zhan deserved character development badly but never got the chance :)). Also they were killing every side characters possible like it was getting tiring. Main characters ancestors story was more appealing and characters were more interesting than them. Lost potential from my side tbhWas this review helpful to you?
GOATED PLOT AND CHARACTERS
Oh my god this was a riiiiiiide. First of all feng suige,your aura is unmatched. And miss yixiao you are the queen of all queens. The Romance was done so well in terms of enemies to lovers like it was done PERFECT. The development and progress was delicious. The plot and characters were everything. There was never a dull moment every single character and storyline mattered and had an imapct on me. This had by far one of the most amazing political storyline. Certain scenes were so heart trenching it made me cry. Goat is the only way to describe this. Such deep and heavy plot.Was this review helpful to you?
BEST PIECE OF MEDIA EVER WATCHED
BEST ROMANCE show i have ever watched. Honestly words cannot describe how addicted i was to this show and how much emotions i felt . This drama put me into a massive slump cause i knew i will never find anything as good as this. The emotions were overflowing. This drama will never be replaced and will be the standard. I procrastinated watching it due to the fear of ending. That's how much attached i was. The emptiness after finishing will forever haunt me. The storyline was fun and engaging. The characters were fantastic .The chemistry and romance were the highlight and like no other. Ji bozai and mingyi were not just characters they were everything and beyond. Will forever cherish this and will forever be my number one .Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing characters and epic political intrigue
From the very first episode i was hooked. The cinematography and plot gets you really invested from early on. The premise is so good that i was watching very addictively from episode 1 . You just cannot help but feel so much for all the side characters. Be it anger at the villains or frustrating,sadness. I feel like i experienced all kinds of emotions except for happiness for some reason,even though it's a happy ending. The best arc was when they went to save female lead's village. However from episode 27/28-39 was kinda boring and slowed down the pace for me. I think my only complain was it was kinda too long for no reason and there was seriously so much potential for the romance to be something more developed. Although i liked the romance i wished they had more scenes and moments. The characters were the highlight and i really enjoyed the storytelling. Again,for some reason this drama is just so sad to me that i cannot hear the songs without feeling ache in my chest. The start to middle part was the best in my opinion they kinda fumbled with the ending arc. But wont change the fact it was indeed an absolute fantastic storyline. All the villains were helpless and had tragic backstory except for maybe 2 . So you cannot just feel satisfaction for their downfall:)) . So many emotions, lastly it was indeed a very wild ride. 9/10Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing plot with great political intrigue
Amazing storyline. The plot was the highlight for me and song mo my precious baby ily so much. The Romance felt like a subplot that will make you squeal. Their romance was short,easy, healthy and sweet. But it was just so precious nonetheless. Female lead was so cunning that you had to get up and clap sometimes. Also again,song mo's character will always be a standard whenever i am looking for a sweet but bold male lead. The plot was so smart and perfectly wrapped up that i watched from start to finish with no boring moments honestly. The side stories and evil character's downfall was satisfying. I cannot explain much but the storytelling was 10/10 for me.Was this review helpful to you?
