Ms Superman
Tragic Misunderstandings... but the chemistry kept me going.
STORY: A woman goes back in time to defeat a demon lord who caused so much chaos and death in the future. She plans to humanize him so she can kill his demon bones and then kill his actual body. So, you already know heartache ensues.
ACTING: As soon as my favorites were announced as the leads in this drama, I was HIGHLY ANTICIPATING it because I love them in Love Is Sweet & I love any of my favorites in a good costume drama.
Luo Yunxi + Bai Lu owe me some money for the therapy sessions because from beginning to end this drama made my emotions go on an intense rollercoaster ride. I barely caught a moment to breathe when they were happy times in here then we were back to angst.
Let's talk about Luo Yunxi as Tantai Jin. He is the BEST character in the show and low-key saved the whole show. I always knew Luo Yunxi could act, but he showed out in this drama. He expressed his emotions so well in his eyes and voice so I always feel so deeply any emotion he is conveying. I dare say... he is the best when it comes to that. He completely won me over with this performance as all 3 characters... TOP 3 C-Drama actors. I even love him over my fave Bai Lu now.
Bai Lu as Li Su Su | Ye Xi Wu | Sang Jiu. So, first things first Bai Lu is tied as the #1 favorite C-Drama actress… so any role she plays I am going to try my best to love... and that was the case for her role in this drama. I understood her character's role in avenging her people and I had no problem with that, but it got to a point where I was a bit exhausted. Luckily, her character "redeemed' herself. Besides that, I did love how fun and spunky her character was and how creative she was in coming up with plans to make Tantai Jin fall in love with her.
Deng Wei. I am always rooting for his success in Dramaland since I loved him so much in Miss the Dragon. I liked how honorable and kind Xiao Lin was, but hated Gongye Ji who was so pretentious.
Ran + Qing Yu were the dark horse characters and couples here and deserved so much better than what they got.
MUSIC: The intro song (The World I Love by Liu Yuning) sets the tone for every episode while the outro song (Black Moonlight by Zhang Bichen + Mao Buyi) leaves us in our somber thoughts with all the misunderstandings that goes on in here. The OST was so top-tier & memorable... I pretty much added them all to my list. My favorites were Boundary by Tia Ray, Let's Be Like This For 1000 Years by Huang Xiaoyun & Silent Moon by Hu Yanbin because these 3 songs played during my favorite scenes.
RE-WATCH VALUE: I low-key already re-watched my favorite parts already, but I can see myself re-watching this for Tantai Jin, one of my favorite male lead characters ever.
OVERALL: I say this was more of a character-driven story than a plot-driven story which can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for. Luo Yunxi + Bai Lu did what needed to be done for me to love this drama & I really hope they bless us with one more drama with them as the leads.
