Good concept but the implementation left a lot to be desired. The acting was a disaster, not sure if because the actors or the director. I saw several of the actors doing a better job in other productions, hence my doubt.
Good series with some fun moments but could have been better. However, it's well worth watching. Acting in general is good enough and kept me entertained until the end without skipping or fast forwarding episodes.
This is a great series. The two main leads did an excellent job. The actor playing the triangle with the female lead also portrayed a psycho really well. In general, all actors did a great job, as well as the director. The production is also very good. Some of the musics in the soundtrack are pleasant and complement the scenes very well. Great job! I had some great laughs.
Really!!!!!!!! I am shocked that u r comparing MLC with destined, LYF & MJTY. I found MLC very interesting from…
Like several also mentioned, it's a matter of preference. This series is definitely not my cup of tea. The mini-cases solutions became repetitive and boring. I just finished The Ingenious One and found it also much better than MLC.
Great series. The production had good attention to details, overall good acting and direction that match the story quite well. It also has a few nice music in the OST.
Good series. Acting left some to be desired but the overal story was good enough to keep me until the end. Some development was predictable and others a bit unexpected. After everything closed out the production decided to throw a weird skit that could have been left out since the series wasn't a comedy.
Arrgghh this drama is a masterpiece, as a Wuxia addict that I am I was so blown away with the complex characters…
The end reminded me of The Legend of the Dragon Pearl. However, the MJTY story was much better. Sadly no second season for that one but I hope MJTY has one.
Good production in general. amd some very good acting that helped overlook some very bad ones. However, it ended there. The story that felt good in the beginning became boring after a while as the series dragged into several short case-solving stories and I skipped several episodes because of that. The end wasn't very clear also. Therefore, I cannot give this series very high marks. Mostly right after watching Lost You Forever, My Journey to You and Destined.
This movie was awesome! Everything just right. Super production, great direction and acting, topped by an awesome OST. I've watched a couple Monkey King productions but none like this one. The writer did a great job with this version and the crew an excellent job conveying it. Right to my top list. Kudos to everyone involved in its production.
Awesome series. The first thing that drew my attention was the excellent photography. Simply amazing and some scenes were mesmerizing. The direction, acting and OST also did not lag behind. The story had some hints of Game of Thrones, which made this series great. I just hope there's a second season. The last scene clearly left room open for it.
After a long time chasing this series to watch finally managed it. It's a great action series. For the year it was filmed, the story remains present and the overall special effects were very good. The Koreans put a lot of effort on Athena's prodction and made it well worth it The direction and overall acting were fine and the overall script good (a few what-just-happened? moments). The soundtrack is fenomenal and conveys the different feelings quite well. The story is simular to Iris but I liked Athena better.
Good short series but I've watched better ones. The script was too similar to other longer series. Several shorter series I watched so have more creative stories to make the most of the very short time. So, it's not bad but could have been better. It's entertaining nonethless. They suggest a season 2 but I'm not sure there will be one.
Entertaining story if we overlook the acting, which could be consequence of the direction. Nonethless, it's fun to watch as a quick story. It's interesting how they take a quick stab at Oh, My General in a couple episodes. Music in general is pleasant and helps with the lighthearted story tone.
This series had everything just right. Meticulous production, excellent acting (Yang Zi shows once more why she's a queen) and direction, topped with an outstanding OST put it on the top with Joy of Life, Nirvana in Fire, Eternal Love and other masterpieces. Season 2 cannot come fast enough.
