Douyin made me start watching this, liking it so far. It's light and funny, though a bit childish and cheesy. Is it just me or is Bo Yan pretty mean to ditch Han Ruo Xi like that last minute before she shows her bitchiness.
Actually, if you already watched the ending, I think it is kind of a sequel.
Yeah, realized that after the ending of the drama. They used the exact same scene for it when she fell with Ye Hong Yi off the cliff. But this movie has nothing to do with the drama honestly besides that scene and some other reused scenes like the soul swap one when she regains her memories.
After patiently watching this drama till the end I can say that I’m totally unsatisfied with it. It wasn’t…
Yes, the movie happens three years after the scene when she falls off the cliff with Ye Hong Yi, but they honestly just reused the scene for the sake of showing her falling of a cliff. It's a fantasy romance movie, like it is about a Phoenix God being fated with her and him being framed by some other clan who wants his "red flame" for immortality. It has nothing to do with this drama, except that cliff scene, the soul swap scene and Mo Wan in Mo Xin's body. I don't even know what the point of the movie is, it makes no sense at all. They took the title a bit too literal.
I dropped it..then I jump to the final episode. And I am so disappointed. Although it looks like "Happy ending",…
I know right, the real Mo Wan just woke up, and the scriptwriter just needed another quick pointless death after Ting Yue. But wait... Mo Wan in Mo Xin's body isn't dead, check the movie, she fell off the cliff and lost her memories as well... okay I'm joking, haha.
Final thoughts, this was obviously a hot mess. Not much wrong with the story, it was catchy, but the script was kinda lacking, which can't really be blamed on the editing. If I were somewhat objective, this would be at most 2.5*. Most importantly, the exquisite OST carried it all the way. I would've maybe dropped this if not for CZY and LMZ, so unless you're digging the leads not much a recommendation honestly. If they ever release the full cut, I'll recommend it to everyone and their nan.
Kinda cringe, Mo Wan in the vanguard when she can't even fight, shown in every possible scene before that. “Qian Mian seize them", jumps in and instantly dies, haha, I can't. Got a great idea guys, let a random soldier backstab Ye Hong Yi for maximum dramatic effect, wait it was better in my head... Well of course, they died too easily, cuz we need another plot twist.
I don't know what's going on anymore, all characters dying left and right in a single episode. Also such a scuffed rebellion, they had so much time and this "plan" is what they came up with. Already tired seeing the preview and Mo Wan marrying someone else again, sigh.
Also this is definitely part of the movie, haha
