This show is hilariously over the top and ridiculous. It's trash but I didn't mind it.

The female lead had a lot of flaws in the beginning and I had to try really hard to like her. She’s screaming every second scene and can be quite obnoxious and rude. She just needs to calm down honestly, like honey take a breather and stop going a hundred miles an hour all the time. How does Shang Chen have the patience??

But I like this show for my fave Shang Cheng. Can we talk about how EXTRA he is??? This dude takes dramatic to a whole new level

The first four or so eps were so good (but full of all the cliches lol). The rest of the show had its ups and downs, but fairly enjoyable overall.

[I’m still mad they cut the lantern festival fireworks kiss scene that’s in the intro, how dare they cut it out!!]

I’ll tell you what I did like though which was the premise of the show. I’m always down for pirates, and to have the King of the Pirates fall in love was right up my alley. I loved his pirate sidekicks too, I love their trio.

On the whole, if you want to give this drama a shot, your reason should be for the pirate who stole my heart: Shang Cheng ♡♡ My man
