A Bit Creative but kinda messed up.

Please tell me where and why you agree and disagree with me after reading this review.
Suggestions are welcomed.

BE CAUTIOUS, SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Getting to the drama~
So it was a bit more creative than the regular high school or college romance dramas you see but it all got a bit messed up because of the bad editing or bad acting (in some of the scenes) or a bit of the storyline which went wrong.

Story: 7.0
The story was quite interesting in the starting, the screenwriter seemed to have done quite a bit research about zodiacs since he/she actually included the Ophiuchus but he/she seemed to lack a bit when he decided which power should be given to whom. I think the powers should have been according to the personalities of the zodiac people but it was a bit superficial like the leo (meaning lion) had a roaring power. The people seemed to like fighting more like normal people or muggles (since some reviews here say it's a bit like harry potter, I'm adding yes, it's a bit like harry potter but harry potter is a totally new level so, I won't compare.). The Ophiuchus have been introduced as people of high IQ so I expected them to be cunning but they actually turned out to be cute little buddies trying to seem intimidating.
The competition was a total mess, like who gives them tasks which are so easy, cook hotpot?
There were some things which were unexplained till the end like the medicine TAN gave Tianze roaring power but made the others into the COS army. Why?
Why was the leader Ophiuchus able to use the powers of 2-3 zodiacs?
and many more.
Everything else was okay except the fact that I never understood why it's written a parallel world in the description since I don't see everyone having these zodiac superpowers.
To be honest, (some people will hate me for this but) I liked the chemistry of Bai Bai and Zhou Dong more than Fang Tianze and Cheng Zi'er. Fang Tianze and Cheng Zi'er seemed to have been in love ever since they were born, no falling in love process was there.
The story was a little bit thriller.

So, it's quite recommendable.

Acting/Cast: 7.0
The editing was very poor, like the falling off the rock scene, etc.

⨠Xiao Zhan as Fang Tianze, he was quite okay overall. I quite liked him in "The Untamed" but here, he seemed so out of love with Cheng Zi'er and also not every expression was good. All I would say is that he's improved a lot in this industry ever since.

⨠Wang Yu Wen as Cheng Zi'er, her acting was okay as well. She didn't exactly pull on the character, her acting was so good in some scenes for eg. the falling of the rock scene or escaping from Ophiuchus with Fang Tianze scene (well, I apologize for such lames names, but they explain exactly what I'm talking about.). She didn't seem to be in love with Fang Tianze instead, her chemistry seemed better with Wan Shi Cun at times. (I'm not shipping them, I'm actually totally against them getting together in the drama.)

⨠Bai Shu as Wang Shi Cun, his acting was good, here as well as in Love and Redemption, he performed quite well.

⨠Wu Jia Cheng as Shen Hao, he played his role alright as well.

I really liked the acting of:
⨠Xu Xiao Lu as Huo Bei Bei, she did really well in the broken heart scenes. (I'm not saying I like her character but I don't hate it as well since I'm a Scorpio myself and I know the actress isn't a Scorpio, just the character is.)

Music: 7.5
It was nice overall.

Rewatch value: 7.0
Definitely worth it if you like the chemistry of any of the couples.

Overall: 7.0

Quite alright.
So, just go ahead and have a try.

Hope it wasn't boring.
Lots of love <3
