Here comes the harem drama. Also I shouldn't have watched the ending credits, so many spoilers, got tempted because of the good OST. Though the intro didn't have any spoilers...
But why? This question like during the whole movie and none answered. Sure, I know it's like a satirical, over the top, and overdramatic portrayal of the royal family. But at least answer why she was getting poisoned.
There are quite some flaws in the plot, but liking it so far. I've seen worse. Also just now in Episode 10 they randomly show that the Emperor and the Empress' relationship wasn't that good at all. Should've shown that in the prologue, but hey.
Became somewhat boring midway in, Lin Yuan this Ming Ye that Feng Wu is in trouble again, we gotta save her. Also Zhao Ge's sidestory was pretty much filler. The ending isn't the problem, but how it leads to it, so illogical. Average at best, would be like 2.5* on douban if there weren't many 5* by idol fans honestly.
I don't know why I keep watching all these Mulan adaptations. But it's actually the best one so far, meaning a less broken and weird plotline. Although it's inferior with picture to the other ones, nothing spectacular like big fights.
Whoever came up with this stupid plot. A lobster demon wants revenge for humans eating lobsters. Supposedly this is sort of a sequel since the lobsters were shown for a split second in the prequel. But still don't know what this has to do with Swords of Legends.
This story is so stupid. So the beauties who grew up with each other and trained in martial arts get sent as a tribute to the enemy to act a beauty scheme. But then they randomly just betray and kill each other, like what? They had so many chances to just assassinate the emperor. If that wasn't their objective, what were they even doing there in the first place. Also what happens after that is even more stupid.
I have a question, which is born out of the different subs for : 铁甲依然在, (tie jia yi ran zai) which is…
They tend to pick some random cool words from the English dictionary for the English title instead of directly translating the Chinese title to english.
It's so bad and the story is trash. Let's not even start about the cgi. The prequel, which I haven't seen, might introduce the story and characters, but don't think it's worth it.
If you like dramas with weak to strong lead plots and xuanhuan, this ain't it. The ML does literally nothing to improve himself (and his personality), and the story is draggy and boring. And for the fightscenes... Well, he just pulls out a rock. The only redeemable thing is Ying Huan Huan's plotline, she at least has a decent character development. All in all, watch this if you have insomnia or something.
This wasn't even that bad, like 1 star bad on douban. The main plot is alright I guess, kinda braindead characters though, and it's just that it ends up being surprising when someone doesn't randomly turn out to be evil.
