My very 1st review Special just for this drama, lower your expectation.
Before that, pardon my English, I'm not native, but I'll try my best to write it in English.
I watched so many dramas but this is my very 1st review and maybe the last because usually I'm not bother to write review wheter the drama is good or not.
Yes, maybe I write the review especially just for this drama because this drama is soooo controversial, low rating, full of criticism and so much hate.
If you ask me I like it or not, of course I will say I like this drama, even though this drama is not perfect, I don't know why this drama feels special for me. ( I'm not even LYF or CYQ fan ).
* I'll start with what I liked first:
- Strong Female Lead, not annoying childish, bubbly, cringe, Mary Sue Female Lead : This is so important for me, C drama usually have this issue.
- Loyal, strong, caring, non- toxic Male Lead : I love Su Mo in drama version than Donghua/Novel/Original version, Su Mo drama version is very different than the original version. Original Su Mo is so greyish character, sometimes cruel, manipulative and very cold. ( I'm not novel reader but I watched the donghua version).
- No complicated and annoying Love Triangle. ML and SML really trust each other and so mature.
- Good Xuanhuan story, as a fantasy story lover, I like this kind of story.
- Good Looking actor/ actress- Good pairing actor : LYF looks so good in wig and hanfu/costume, his looks better than his previous drama Legend of Chusen. CYQ looks good in white hanfu/costume.
Not to mention they in perfect height each other, I think they are a good pairing as a couple.
- Very very Good OST/BMG/Music : The music really boost the whole drama.
- An okay CGI : Think the CGI is not that bad as other people mention/complaining at least for me.
* Negative points/ What I disliked:
- Bad editing/pacing/story telling : The first 28 eps is okay for me, but after that feels so draggy and so many unnecessary conversion, the conversation has a very long pause each lines.
Ep 42-43 feels so rushed that you'll be confused because of that.
Some characters just appear and gone for nothing.
- The directing is not that good : ML and FML chemistry kinda ON- OFF sometimes they are good sometimes feels awkward and stiff. This is really about directing problem, I don't think this is 100% the actors fault.
I watched the BTS, LYF and CYQ's chemistry really good in BTS they looks comfortable each other.
* Conclusion/ Suggestion :
- If you are Not a Novel Reader : Just watch it as an entertainment drama and keep low your expectation, MAYBE you'll be okay.
- If you are A Novel Reader and very PICKY about adaptation : Don't watch it! because you'll hate it. You can try to watch the donghua instead, but the donghua still far behind the drama.
