It started as fun and silly and then just got bad
This is a review of both season 1 and 2. I enjoyed season 1 fine understanding that it was more comedy than serious although the ending of season 1 made little sense to me.
I will admit this showed up in my watch queue (it's says it's available on amazon but it's not) and Xiao Zhan is in it so I decided to give this a chance. Xiao Zhan is the second ML so he's not in it as much as I would like, but I still liked The Wolf even though he was not in it enough!
First season was confusing - I still have no idea which cancellation was who and what some of their powers were, which they never used except to play around. The FL was a cute at first but by season 2 was annoying. As for the ML, I have to assume he is a better singer than he is an actor.
In general the acting was terrible, Xiao Zhan was good, but you can tell how much he has learned since this show. I will say every time Morang realized that Fei Wei likes the emperor, he does a great job of show how sad he is. Here's the spoiler... I felt more for his character just cause he loved Fei Wei and she would never love him, then I felt for the emperor when Fei Fei the love of his life dies. Let's just say his acting was terrible, Also I had second FL syndrome as well. I loved the character of Yanran who was in love with Moran. Her character was smart and nice and she was a very different character growing along the way. If they ever had a third season it should be Moran on the thrown (since the emperor is apparently in a different timeline now?) and Yanran. I would watch that.
As for the story, it was silly fluff with bad acting and then the last 3 episodes happened. I'm not sure the need to kill everyone. Was that because the writers couldn't figure out how to get Fei Fei back to her time. Also do doctors in China dress like that? Short shorts and flannel????? Anyway, the show went all Game of Thrones Red Wedding but then they all cam back cause Fei Fei and her tribe saved them, So what was the point in a farce of a show.
Music was OK. I noticed my self humming the song every time Fei few and the Emperor do something silly. The song by Xiao Zhan is heartbreaking but beautiful,
Would I ever rewatch,,, no but maybe clips of just Xiao Zhan from the show.
