Great article! Though one thing I slightly disagree on is King's Avatar being overly dramatic with the clicks. Thought that at first too, but then I filmed myself (specifically keyboard, mouse and hands) while playing an MMORPG and damn I clicked more than expected, even when walking/running. Though it wasn't as much as King's Avatar, I saw myself mashing keys to dash forwards, double jump etc. As for mouse clicks though... yea they overdid that slightly.
First 15ish episodes: I like it, they were nice. Though acting was off, it was cheesy and plot moved relatively well
Episodes 16-35 ish: Super slow and boring. Acting did get better, and characters were starting to grow on me, but holy damn I skipped so much to save time and I did not miss anything.
Episode 36-44 ish: Plot picked back up. Nothing else to note, felt like the first 15ish episodes. Arthur Chen's acting did get better though in those episodes.
Last 4 episodes: SUPER FAST moving plot, but even though the rest of the series was a big "meh", I personally really loved the ending.
Don't know if I'll write a formal review, I just don't think it's worth it. The comments left on this page accurately state the good and bad of the series. (As to why Arthur chose this over Ever Night 2? I have no idea, but working with different people does help him get more of a feel of his job and industry, so can't blame him really. Just hope Immortality is good <3)
I see why people love it, but it's hard to keep watching for me. The female lead just makes everything so goddamn frustrating to watch, and I'm only on episode 2. Like girl just give him back his phone or report him to the police, stop making his life harder than it already is :/
The only place I can see Liu HaoRan, Xiao Zhan and ZhangRuoYun all at once. (I really want to see them all in the same drama, but they're all A rank main lead material so I doubt that any of them are willing to become side characters.)
1. Acting has been iffy all over the place, even for Arthur Chen sometimes (him less than others of course). I've stopped caring about most scenes with with only good guys except for Ancy Deng and Jerry Yu cause they have decent chemistry imo (not saying the bad guys acting are better, it's mainly because they advance plot, whether alone or confronting protags). 2. I'll stick to what I've said before, the visuals have not gotten any better. The sect that Lu Ping has been in recently has a nice classic white uniform, yet they had to add that patch of square swirly nonsense dead in the middle? Qing Sang's outfits haven't gotten less tacky either. 3. It's a Chinese drama, and I mainly watch Chinese dramas, but this one feels draggier than usual. 4. So uh, how many more people are gonna become evil and betray the good side, whether undercover or not? At this point I'm convinced that every new character we meet, "oh look he's evil, how unpredictable" will be myreaction. 5. Bad stuff aside for a sec, although Arthur Chen may be iffy in this drama, I agree with a lot of people line delivery has gotten much better. Expressions seem to need a bit of work though imo. 6. I know Chen Xiao is relatively new to this, but even Ancy Deng does a better job imo... Chen Xiao did improve slightly from earlier episodes, but her expression is still always the same ò_ó 7. Though I don't enjoy a lot of it, I'll keep watching it. It's not unbearable, and is a good nod to old Wuxia stories.
i want conflicted badass jbz!! i want him to know what he is and was capable of and i was fine with him being…
Same. i know people hate the "oh look main character turns evil" trope but it's personally one of my favourite things to watch. legit I was expecting at least an episode dedicated to JBZ remembering his life as WH and being confused yet badass. I'm desperately praying for a season 2 so we have a chance to see him like that.
