full of chlichés

I could not have watched this show by alone all by myself. What made this show fun was watching it with my sister, without her I would not have finished it.

The first half of the show was very good, I was very engaged in the characters and what was going on in the story; however, the second half I found to be very boring.

What can I say… who I was rooting for was not winning, he didn’t get as much screentime as he should of and he deserved more.

Also, I have never seen a show with so many stereotypical clichés before. I could not even begin to count the amount of times the maid lead fell into someone’s arms an accident.

yet another show to release before Wanning comes home :(

I have been waiting for Immortality for eons now, this is yet another show that was filmed wayyyy after hyx and got to be aired before it.

This is not that bad, but it isn't that great either. The story/plot is very bland and boring. It's the same set up as a bunch of other shows. It's supposed to be a medical drama. It kind of is, I mean they talk medical stuff, but none of it seems right. They can't show the surgery really. The surgery scenes are not realistic in the slightest, all they really show is the characters hands all bloody. The surgery's also happen the same day as they talk about it which makes no sense. Not much of this show makes sense, but if you look past that I mean... you have Luo Yunxi and that man is beautiful. He's too good for this show, but I digress, it's all we have until hyx releases. piste

Relationship dynamic is just just copy and paste. They hate eachother at first, guy falls for girl, girl kind of falls for guy and then plays hard to get and runs away, guy gets upset and heavily pursues her, girl won't give in for longggg time, blah blah. It's upsetting, because once they finally get together it's pretty cute. I really enjoy their moments together once they are a couple; sadly, we don't get to see much of it though because it takes a while for them to finally officially get together.

Acting-wise is okay. Luo Yunxi is amazing as always, putting in his best effort and far exeeding in delivery. The FL Su, is just okay. She isn't unbearable to watch, she just doesn't have much range. Her facial expressions remain the same pretty much throughout the whole show, with a constant grimace on her face because she is running away from her feelings towards the ML.

I like the side characters. FL's best friend is honestly more likable than the FL herself and ML's side kick is decent too. They have a cute romance I guess.

The scenes in Lacaya are kind of low budget. The dubbing over in French isn't too good, some of the plots that go on make no sense. The one I can't get over is in the fist episode I think where the FL "saves" some guy after he gets in a car accident. It's pretty wild. So she sees this car accident, rushes over to help the person in the accident, but doesn't say anything to anyone about what she's doing. They just assume she is some doctor and then she brings over a drill to drill a whole in the guys head, while still not saying anything. Obviously, everyone is freaking out, but she just drills away and the guy seems dead. The police come and arrest her and she finally says like "oh! I was saving him!", but like what??? I get she was saving him, but still, it's dumb. She gets put in jail and then bribes the officers so she can make a call and gets the surgeon working on the guy to come to vouch for her. Obviously, the surgeon is the ML and he does vouch for her. It isn't brought to court or anything, nothing about the law is really brought up and this all happens within the span of a day which is crazy. Then she wines about having to pay a fine and somehow gets it reduced. It's wayyy crazier than how I'm describing it. Honestly, I recommend watching the episode, cuz gee is it entertaining. It makes zero sense and you lose braincells watching, but wow. There's more crazy things too honestly. The script is pretty bad, but bad in a way where you are entertained, not too boring.

In all honestly, I am only watching this for Luo Yunxi. If you are a fan of him, you will enjoy this show. He's in it a lot, and yes, he plays the same character he has played in every modern drama he has ever been in, and yes, it is a waste of his potential and acting skills, but he is so fun to watch. He plays a pitiful "chad" like man who simps very hard for the FL. He is just great in this. He looks so beautiful too, the styling department did a good job on this one. 8/10 and all of that goes to lyx. Love him <3.

Last remarks:
Finishing this show, I just feel it is a bit empty. The plot is interesting and I just feel like the show went about everything in the most boring way. I only watched for Luo Yunxi haha.
