Mai Shoua Her
**Disclaimer: I don't follow the book, manga, or anime. I also had no idea what this drama was about before I started watching it. Basically picked it up because I was bore & my friend said I would appreciate the female character. Note: I normally never like watching Asian drama because all female lead tends to be very 1-D in character. They don't seem to exist any sense of humor. Either they are the embodiment of virtue, innocent, or dumb...and zero in-between.
My first impression of this series was more like WTH? Is this a troll drama? Some people said they found it confusing at first. But I think if you game you will understand the early references. At first, I only watched it because the drama was so different from my expectation of a wuxia drama (even for a comedy). I just wanted to see what was going to happen next. Than I got suck in and yelp..I finished it in 3 days. I then had to go back to re-watched the whole thing because I completed the series so fast I wasn't sure WTH I just watched.
Story line: I think the story will be better appreciated by guys. It's action pack like a gaming journey, little romance, and strong buddy friendships. It has a very Shonen manga vibe. Overall, I actually like the story because it starts really funny but gets meaningful at the end.
Acting: Everyone was good at their role. People disliked the main female lead but I actually find it refreshing. Like wow, finally a female character who is shamelessly herself. I also liked the female actress because I feel many Asian actresses would refuse to showcase the expression that she did. I can see why they cast her for the role.
Music: I think there was only 3 songs in this series but they were used effectively so no complaint. I have one currently on repeat.
Rewatch Value: I rewatched the whole thing so I would say yes.
Overall: 10/10. Did not know what to expect. Was more entertaining and enjoyable than I'd anticipated. 10/10 would recommend for my brothers, gaming and guy friends. Also, I pray they do a second season because I want to know what happens next.
