This had massive potential! I mean the actors, the plot, the blood! Unfortunately they fucking wrecked Xie Wei's character about halfway through. I get he's supposed to be a fucked up little man, but they just entirely changed what state he got in when it snowed like "haha we're just deciding that suddenly he has full control over his actions because then they can kiss and it's not weird right guys? ...Right?" - Nah it was still a little weird ............. Like they could have pulled it off, I get what they were going for, but somethings not right with the way they did it.
ALSO them getting kids in a hidden-away courtyard at the end, I'm a huge fan, love that for them - however! Homeboy (Xie Wei) was traumatized as a kid because he saw 300 boys fucking die in front of him HE WOULD LITERALLY NOT TREAT HIS SON LIKE THAT, i don't care that it's for comedic purposes, he would genuinely protect his kids with everything in him, not fuck with the male one and dote on his daughter shut the fuck UP
So in conclusion, this was going places, and then they just forgot what kind of character they wanted him to be I guess, or they just embraced him being a douchebag since he was one in the first timeline even though he ended up not being the same person anyway? They also never bothered giving us an explanation as to why Xue Ning wanted to be with him lol -
9. A Journey to Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
They did so many things right, but also i have so many notes
Holy shit the last few episodes are so fucking boring, and the ending was lazy and nonsensical, like just decide whether the characters live or not, that shit was not cute
