Q I U
From Parallel Universe
Not as bad as you think....
As a fan of both Yang Mi and Wallace Huo, I was so hyped about this drama when I saw that it was going to be aired, later I saw that the ratings are not very high but anyway I gave it a try. Yeah,it was not a perfect drama but it is not as bad as people rated. Overall I still enjoyed it thoroughly,
Here are some things that I like and dislike;
1.100% solid acting
A lot of people said Yang Mi’s actings is not that great, but in my opinion, she was doing fine.She perfectly delivered what she had to deliver, weak when she was young, then became stronger and her eyes show how determined she was to protect her loved ones. You can say whatever you like but I still think Yang Mi is one the greatest actresses in mainland china. I cried when she cried, laughed when she laughed, this is how a good actress drew me into the plot.
Wallace Huo, one of my top 3 chinese actors, is superb.From Chinese paladins to Battle of changsha, he has acted in almost all kinds of dramas. Of course, needless to say,his acting is solid.
2.Draggy, Painful but acceptable plot
Well I agree with most of you that the plot is very draggy. 60 episodes for contemporary dramas is just too much, there are many scenes that can be cut.Yes, it is very painful too. I was never a fan of painful plot but maybe I like this one because of Yang Mi and Wallace Huo.I endured painful scenes, skipped some scenes, and enjoyed the happy ending.
3.Beautiful costumes and good cinematography
Yang Mi, throughout the drama, wore several beautiful republican era costumes. I feel satisfied only by watching this.
Cinematography is nice as well.
4.Songs
Songs are great.Jane Zhang and Yisa Yu, two most famous mainland chinese singers sang the osts. It was indeed very good.
5.Rewatch value
I won’t watch the whole drama again for sure, but I will watch the sweet moments between Fu Han Jun and Shen Qi Nan.
6.Overall
Overall, it is a good drama, though it can be made much better. If you are a fan of either of the two leads, you should watch it, it won’t waste your time.
Anyway, I enjoyed it and Fu Han Jun will remain in my heart forever.
