Just for Leo
Edited after completing the series.
Story:-
Totally disappointed after like 10+ eps on wards. I was enjoying it at first but then it went downhill like seriously boring right after the wedding ceremony. No exciting element as the story progress. Repetitive and cliche story plot. Example, how the leads misunderstand each other, who betray who, who sacrifice for who etc. I understand the 2nd ML wants to revenge but they didn't develop the plot well. The main love story is so draggy and boring. The FL always doesn't bother to listen to others and i just want to slap her face sometimes. The ML always comes out to rescue her out of nowhere and i was like girl i thought you know martial arts?! Why are you so weak? Most importantly they have no chemistry! I don't care anymore if they are together or not lol which is really bad considering they are the leads of a drama and i don't really feel them. They are suppose to portray as loving couple that can die for each other etc but their story doesn't convince me at all (At one point i just rather both of you die in the end). Towards the end, all those mystery starts to unfold although I have already guessed some but i appreciate the twist (at least not something cliche). It gets better especially when the story finally talks about Emperor Rong Qi (Leo Luo) arc. I watch this series because of him and his story with FL is much more interesting. I heard that the novel is great but when it change to drama, the execution is quite weak. Overall, minus all the unnecessary scenes to make it into 58 eps, it can be quite a strong plot with like 30 eps.
Acting/Cast:-
Acting wise is not that bad but the chemistry between the leads are seriously zero. They are just acting for the sake of acting. FL acting is a bit weak but maybe its the character problem. After like the first 10 eps of showing a strong and clever image, it just feel so plain after that (she is constantly crying and sad and depress all the time). Only until the later episodes it gets slightly better (as in she gets back smarter lol and not so depress anymore) Maybe she is too young for this character so she can't fully express the emotions? Idk And I can see the director is protecting her so much. Almost all the kiss scenes are camera work (Maybe like two is real and its just like a peck). ML is always that "cool face" whether he is fighting or thinking or looking at the FL or even crying. I totally doesn't feel his sadness. I basically just skips through his crying. I watched his performance in other dramas before and it wasn't this bad. I am not sure if it is the acting, the actor or the character itself but i am not feeling for the ML. He is the typical "i know everything" and save the world hero character that i got so fed up. He feels like a sub character more if it is not for the constant focus on him. 2nd ML (Fu Chou) is much better. His story, his acting and his emotions makes me sympathize with him but his character is so purposely made to love the FL just to be the main leads' obstacle. The progression of the story makes me feel doubtful that he love the FL so quickly based on that little interaction in the beginning. 3rd ML (Rong Qi) is definitely my favourite. His acting is superb, i can feel he is hurt just based on his eye expression. Sad thing is he gets too little screen time but his character is impactful and important to the story so i guess it is worth it? On a side note, i like the love story between Zhao Yun and Wu Yu. Their acting seems quite natural.
Music:-
At first not very obvious and didn't particularly like the songs but it started to grow on me as i watch. Particularly like the song for Fu Chou (心锁- 金润吉) and Rong Qi (離舟-蘇醒) character. I search for the lyrics and it applied so well to their character. Also like this 忘憂-張雪迎 (Sang by FL herself for her own character song)
Rewatch value:-
Only for Leo Luo's part. I confess that i am specially bias towards him haha xD Other than that, not at all.
Random: I find it funny that the characters always like to stab each other at the heart area lolol the ML and 2nd ML getting the most and at least once for a lot of the sub characters. Of course FL too.
