What is going on with this drama?
Hoenstly this drama started out really strong with an amazing set up to the plot, and strong characters;
Liu Shuo being a very strong, independent woman who is capable of making decisions on her own, as well as handling herself. She isn’t as naive as some other female leads, and actually uses her intellect to try and solve the issue.
Lu Li is a cheeky, yet charming man who primarily just wants to enjoy life whilst serving his master and he ends up falling for the main lead which is a complete and utter opposite of Luo Ge the counterpart to Lu Li, whom originally is very cold, reserved and does not want to waste time in useless situations.
The story starts off in the mortal realm, when Liu Shao meets Liu Li and their stories become intertwined as they attend an academy together essentially to become immortals. Afterwards, the setting of the story changes to the Immortal Palace, where a situation arises resulting in Liu Shao and Luo Ge meeting, and continuing on the story.
Throughout the drama we meet many side characters like Demon King, He Na whom befriended Liu Shao, Li Lu and Luo Ge throughout their journeys.
His brother Fu, whom has evil intentions to try and free his people whom are imprisoned by a curse brought upon the actions of their ancestors.
Luo Ning, the little sister of Luo Ge and eventual lover of Fu. Whom gives off the personality of a “naive” young girl, when in reality she’s merely a sweet, sheltered, girl whom enjoys discovering new things and learning about the world.
As the story developed throughout the episodes, the plot began to drag and showed repitition. Whether it was the constant mentioning of “power clashes” between the cultivation levels of the main leads, the unstable three realms of the world, the constant back and forth of the main leads romance and even the side romance which resulted constant moments of each party hurting each other without proper communication, and thought as they constantly repeated actions over and over again.
It got to the point I was getting frustrated and yelling at the characters through the screen, or running scenes forward.
With such strong actors, characters and even a storyline and they let it all go to constantly repeat tropes to try and make it as dramatic as possible. In all honesty, the story could be completed in 16-26 episodes at most, without the unnecessary need to drag the plot on, stretching it to the point it loses its original creative intent.
Six more episodes to go and I already want the drama to end. I am unsure as to how they are going to end it, but we shall see how my review changes after the drama is completed.
