I put it on hold for some time, but now I've finished and I'm clear of some of the flaws that makes this drama a waste
Casting: I was really excited to watch Yang and Lusi together in a costume drama, but the reality didn't live up to my expectation. Not that they lacked chemistry, but I think that a drama where the fl isn't supposed to be overpowering would work better for them as she looks like a cutie besides his strong appearance. It creates a weird imbalance. Maybe a slice of life would fit them better, as some scenes proved
Genres and script: The first few eps presented great wuxia themed scenes and plots, it was so exciting. The fightings were great too. But then it just forgot its supposed to be a wuxia and it all became a great mess, from wuxia to family drama to politics to whatever were that final episodes. Its like the writer wanted everything, so we ended up with nothing. If they just made it into a two seasons drama, maybe it would be better as they would have time to show the fl and ml sides plus balance the wuxia thing with the political stuff. It also lacked a plot twist or some kind of surprise. By the middle of the drama, we already knew everything that was happening, so the ending was mild.
Editing: I understand the censorship and episodes limit hurting the drama's pace, but gosh what mess they made here! Specially that fighting scenes and the progression of the final battle. They showed so much of the ml's story that they run out of time to explain the ending. It was so bad that I didn't feel anything with the death and victories, I was just uh okay? Their editing made the script flaws even more clear
So, in conclusion, great casting, beautiful costumes. Terrible production, awful script. Really wish they didnt spend so much money in such a weak drama
Hong sisters should stop plagiarizing And only kdrama fans should open up to other dramas. They needed a plagiarism to realize Chinese fantasy is super cool 🥴 if only they had an open mind...
I’m watching because I have nothing else to watch at this time. It’s a slow and draggy plot with a second…
Although taking out the second couple would improve it very much, I dont think they're the only issue. I'm all in for slow burn (I mean, I have watched Story of Minglan thrice lol), but the script is just sooooo dull. It's like there's no development ever
Hahaha.... i can understand why some ppl think that so. Most affected ratings for this drama is due to 2nd CP.…
I don't think the second couple is the only problem, even the leads get me bored. But it is true it would be better if not for the waste of time on the second couple. I also don't see anything new in this drama. I've watched too many romances and romcoms, all of these plots and characters are common in these genres. Even so, they managed to make it sooooo boring. I mean, an I-will-make-him-love-me-and-then-break-his-heart is so common and it's usually such a fun plot, how did they make it so tedious?? Esther acting as her celebrity persona isn't anything new, too. Bubble female characters are everywhere and I've known Esther since before her debut, so watching her being all cutesy is no big news.
