My Poseidon (2019)

I have no words on how much I truly enjoyed this drama. I have been meaning to watch this upon seeing the trailer, mostly because I have been a fan of Leon Zhang since V Love days and this will be the first drama I'll be watching with him as the main lead. He already had a few dramas with him as the main but sadly those are not subbed at all. Hence I thought this wont be subbed either and temporarily put it on the side. Thankfully though, it got completely subbed and I ended up binge watching this in two days lol.

The chemistry between the two leads is off the charts and is definitely the main reason on why this drama quickly became one of my favourite cdramas this year. Their interactions and conversations are realistically convincing and amusing that I just want to squeal every time I see them on screen together. Their continuous bickering is just too funny to watch. And even though they did not become a couple till later in the drama, I still enjoyed watching their banters and flirty acts lol. No offence but Leon and Eleanor have done their roles so well that I don't think anyone could have pulled it off the same way.

The story is simple and does not have a lot of angst. I found the ocean research stuff interesting, as well as the Poseidon and Amphitrite backstory. Although I may get how not a lot of people will be interested with this and might find it boring (y'all can get away with skipping those parts tho lol). It did drag a bit in the middle, but I would say still manageable because of the two leads. The chemistry is truly the driving force of this drama I must say.

I loveeee the character of Ye Hai so much - how he's goofy most of the time but could also be serious and responsible when it needs to be. Although An Fei did not like him at first, he tried really hard and continued to show how much he likes her despite her indifference towards him. Ugh Ye Hai is just a boyfriend material alright?? I also like how they justified the actions of the characters - how they aren't really evil without a reason and how most of them changed towards the good in the end. I truly appreciate the writers for that.

The ending is a bit lacking but atleast it's a happy ending. As an avid fan of cdramas, I'm already thankful that the two leads ended up together in the end cos I honestly don't know what to do if they didn't T___T

Overall, I enjoyed this drama so much and would totally recommend it.

I've been watching quite a lot of Drama's and so far I really liked My Poseidon. I've finished it for a long time and till this day I still watch it. The story line isn't the typical story line. This was also one of the first Drama's I've watched that included Greek Mythology.

This is also the second time I watch Eleanor Lee. Her acting is okay but could use some work but the Character An Fei could've been improved. This is the first time I've watched Leon Zhang and I actually really liked his acting and his portrayal of Ye Hai. The chemistry between the two is really good but I've seen Eleanor have more Chemistry with other actors.

For me the music of a drama is very important since I love music. And the music did not disappoint me, both Eleanor and Leon have really good voices. Not only that but even if I couldn't understand the language, I really understood the feeling and everything else.

I would totally rewatch it and watch it again and again but there are still other drama's to watch so I would rather watch a new one than My Poseidon. Watching it once is good but personally I only watch the ending again and again because I always cry whenever I watch it.
