Not Good but Not Bad
I can’t say the story is bad but it is not good. The story idea is simple about an antagonist character who wants to take revenge on the man she loves by took one from his twin sons, separated them at birth in order to make them against each other when they grew up.
Let me talk about the negative first.
I wonder why almost 85% of the characters in this drama are villains. All the people the boys mostly meet are scammers. When I watch the drama and I heard someone screaming for help, I just talk to myself… “Ok, another scammer”. Scammers or protagonist turned antagonist. I never watch such a bunch of villain party in other Wuxia drama I’ve watched so far. The plots are indeed very repetitive.
Next, my hate goes to Tie Xin Lan character. This character really pains in the ass for me. What a troublesome person. I can't remember how many times I want to strangle this girl.
Some plots are nonsense, such as Yulang’s prosthetic hand…. How absurd is that hand…. lol... C'mon, in that era to create a real-hand like prosthetic hand....
Yulang’s death is too easy for me. After so many deaths failed, I think this character deserves a more remarkable death.
Now the positive things,
The writer actually already creates quite strong characters, Xiao Yu Er is smart and cunning extroverted while Hua Wu Que the other is a quiet and naïve introverted. The character very constant until the end.
I’m a type of viewer who waits until the drama ends before I watch it, in order to be able to skip any scenes that I hate. I can’t stand if the antagonist wins too much and even just dropped in the middle if the storyline is too crappy and frustrated me. This drama indeed frustrated me, but I weirdly stayed until the very last… even I did skip a lot of parts.
The ending part and how the boys will resolve the main problem is guessable, but still entertaining. Though I think if the writer makes the second auntie uncover her sister's wrongdoing and makes Yao Yue realized her mistakes and spend the rest of her life doing good deeds in order to pay for her sins... is more graceful ending for me. I hate if the antagonist dies. Die is too easy! Make them pay for their sins is better... just like Jiang Bie He's ending. But... who am I... lol
Overall, I don’t love it, I don’t hate it either.
