When the only redeeming factor is a supporting actor...
What a waste of time... yes, certainly both leads had chemistry and they were cute on screen, but they remained flat.
ML did his best with what he was given, but all the abuse, the consequences from higher-ups etc. it all gets old very quickly when there is only the party-line of 'accept it and move on'.
FL is unconvincing, has limited range and besides a few moments where we see her fight (more than her boyfriend), she remains a dreamy ideal.
I really was not into her supporting cast. Cute and fluffy, but just plot stuffers that nobody needs.
The only part I kept on for was Liu RuYi, adorable or cute or gut-wrenching in every scene he is in never mind the nature of the overall scene. He is memorable in this up to his last scene in a character that is lovable and you cannot help but feel with him in so many moments.
It's really sad when the ML is so incredibly upstaged by most of his supporting cast...
The youngsters. A nice idea that could have been something incredible, was underused apart from some home-made drama, only towards the very end do the actors actually manage to make their faces work on camera.
The ending. What a wreck. For a wow factor at the ending where all you will feel is outrage. It is symptomatic for a really badly thought out script that cannot tell a continued storyline if its life depended on it (it did and it died miserably between Zhang Ling He's half open mouth in any given scene and the youngsters' empty faces).
The editing is shoddy and odd: beginning scenes of each episode that once are future glimpses, then again from the past make non sense and made it incredibly confusing.
This is badly thought out fanfiction (where a character sacrifice puts so much responsibility on his best friend... convoluted paths of 'destiny' leading both leads to dicover that their parents had an indirect connection... in a land that has so many people... the mc-guffin that is so useful and FL's heritage to the world discovered by chance... ) put to the screen with huge effort, but there is no substance here and it's really sad because we've seen how these dramas could be so much better. Even FomH was better and that is saying a lot.
