Any decent Xianxia will take AOS for a walk.

Love Between fairy & devil
Who Rules The World <- this one is what AOS should have been (strong female & charming male lead)
Love of the Divine Tree
Douluo Continent
Ancient Love Poetry
Joy of Life
Mysterious Lotus Casebook
Once upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain <- really funny

and the list goes on ...

Well you've seen Love between Fairy and Devil and rated it well, and I agree with you. That's a peak Xianxia show.

The writing was an absolute brain rot. Hong sisters are known for it. The only thing holding this show together were stellar supporting actors. The ML was detestable, both as a character and as an actor. He just can't act with his plastic face. And this show tried so hard worshiping him that I got second hand embarrassment.

You do realize this whole genre came from China? Where there are million times better shows.

Literally worst examples of Xianxias you could've picked.

This can't even compare to the worst Xianxias out there. Maybe visuals only. Otherwise it's a pure shitshow. The writing is a brain rot. Plus the ML is really detestable.

I wanna see your review for S1 haha! I've officially backlisted Hong sisters. I'm never ever watching anything from these two snakes. They need mental help.

Finally someone said it! Maybe worth noting it was written by a woman so there might be agenda at play but I digress. Anyone knows how does this compare to the Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha?

What do you expect from a weirdo who wrote She Was Pretty.

Finally someone with an ounce of brain. Couldn't agree more. I had nothing against Xi Wei too until I watched GOTD haha. I think a different actress would have done a better job. This character's writing was poor to begin with so you need a certain level of really mature subtle acting to even attempt to save it.

You are the only one needing theraphy here, Karen. Thinking everything is about you, and getting triggered by things that don’t even have anything to do with you, and then personally attacking the other person because of it. If you really read 100 of reviews before watching the dramas you would know that bout 50% of MDL is obssesed teenage boys/girls who only watch these dramas because of their crushes. As for the comments, you literllay need to do 2 mouse wheel scrolls here (don’t even need to go the the reviews) to see those comments: “ Watching it for ....Go Youn Jung..she is cute”. And those were the people I was talking about. All I was saying is you can’t really trust those ratings so blindly - because you were flaunting these stats aroud as if they were an absolute truth. So realax darling not everything is about you. You are not the main character here. And if you don’t think giving a drama a 9 after complaing massively about it (just because you like the main actress) is idiotic then you are part of the problem.

Interesting stats, and you actually pointed out a really interesting point. A lot of 8 and up ratings despite lamenting second half still gave it such high score (which in my opinion is absolutely idiotic) so does it actually count as a good score, or is it just employing selective ignorance based on the score alone instead of the actual content? Same as those same people still rating drama fairly high because their fave crush was ML/FL?

The first 5,6eps were honestly a near perfect 10/10. The rest if I could rate it -10 I would. The problem lies with the fact that Hong sisters (beside their usual borderline cheating, rape etc fetishizing) again broke the sacred rule of screenwriting - don't break your own worldbuilding rules. And not only they did that, they did it in the most arrogant pretentious way possible. For the shock factor, trivializing serious mental condition such as DID. It's not that the genre changed midway through, and it's not that I'm a die hard rom-com fan, it's how and why they did it. Completely breaking our trust (and the worldbuilding rules) thinking they are supper clever catching us off guard and mistaking convoluted obscurity with depth, shock factor with true emotional impact and brain rot plot armor with conflict while employing every dirty, nasty trick to directly emotionally manipulate the audience. Either they are aware what they are doing which makes them at best nasty sleazy snake oil salesmen or if not, they are seriously mentally disturbed. Either way I'm never watching anything of theirs ever again.

How does this drama have 8.4 after all the reviews which all rightfully agree on that stupid second half?!

Can some recommend somehing simillar to what what this show could have been - what was happeing in first 5,6eps?

Bravo, someone finally mic-dropping. All these delulu fans using pretentious, self-righteous rethoric such as, “it’s too complex for you to understand” to make themselves feel morally superiour and validate their pretentiousness and this style over substance shock-factor masquaredinng as depth second part brain rot of a series that these mental Hong sisters tend to do.

Is this a joke? THE pinacle of acting stupid and forced miscomunications and you give it as an example?

Yeah if you stop at ep6. Beyond that is pure brainrot.

I don’t want to that’s why I dropped it.

T.H.I.S!!!! Pure gold! One of the best articulated, mic-drop reviews I have ever read! And I agree with every single word you said. When I was reading it, It was like an interpreter, interpreting all my inner feelings that I couldn’t express myself. The only thing I personaly think is that this betrayal was so deep, arrogant and insidious that despite first 6 episodes being near perfect 10 the way they backstabbed us with a self-righteous smile in ep7 and ep8 undid all of that. Therefore If I could give this series -10 I would, but since we can’t it deserves a big fat 1.

Yeah they are a bit mental. Unfortunately I realized they wrote this garbage after watching first half and wondering why it turned into a brainrot.
