C'era una volta una montagna Lingjian (2019)

Non il limone che volevo, ma almeno c’è un limone.

Carino, merita di essere visto. Diciamo che è come se si prendessero tanti stereotipi del genere e si mettessero tutti assieme nella stessa storia (e i protagonisti stessi scherzassero su questo fatto, infatti più volte il protagonista dice “se non io chi, sono per l’appunto il protagonista maschile”) quindi la storia in se ci sta. Molto piacevole (anche se dal mio punto di vista rallenta un pelino a metà per poi tornare a bomba nel finale (che ci piace perché aperto e quindi ben venga la prossima stagione), anche se ahimè ci sono limoni, ma non quelli che volevo. Allora sentite tutti, ho visto The Untamed la bellezza di tre volte (e pure Guardian) e erano tutti sguardi persi, conigli e prese al volo mentre esce sangue dalla bocca, che manco un’ emorragia interna, quindi ben vengano i limoni, solo che i due protagonisti maschili… diciamo che hanno un feeling molto simile ai miei amati WW e LW quindi mi aspettavo che la censura facesse il suo lavoro e restasse anche questa una serie piena di sguardi e basta. E invece no. Abbiamo il limone, non quello che vorremmo (certo, anche se se si leggono i tag si ha tutto spoilerato molto più di quanto non faccia questa recensione), però almeno abbiamo non uno, ma bensì due limoni.

If you are looking for a serious plot and cannot take lame jokes then I'm sorry. This drama is not for you. Do not waste your time on this. But if you are looking for a light hearted drama to watch after a long day of work or a drama to watch while you're eating in which you don't need to pay full attention for. Then you have the right drama here.

*Story*
I'm gonna be honest. When I first watched it, the whole time I was like WTF is this? The plot is lame, the jokes are lame, the acting is really exaggerating and... Wait a minute, am I watching the right drama?! I remember a lot of people being very confused about the genre of the drama. The two female leads call each other wifey, the two male leads has... Like THE most romantic moments EVER! Reading the summery again, I would swear that it's not a gay drama. A lot of people call it Queerbaiting but I actually disagree. It kind of suits the style of the drama and the synopsis clearly states that the male lead will end up with the female lead. The whole drama is just one big comedy with some serious plot in it that will slowly uncover as time passes by. The jokes are so bad in a way that's hilarious. The male lead is someone of modern time who rebirth to the world of this drama and I just love how the lead is also dissing the script so much. To put it short, you need to get through a few episodes to get used to the weird concept, but the moment you do, it becomes so good XD. However... the arcs never really ends... well. There are so many times when I'm like "Uhm, writer? Do you still remember that love line?" But yeah... unless they make a season 2, I felt the plot quite unfinished after finishing the show.

*Characters*
I've not read the original novel so I can't really say if they were similar to the novel or not. However, it did feel a bit exaggerated at first. Especially the female lead. Whether it was her personality or look, I felt like she took the wrong role. Not that she was a bad actor, but it simply didn't suit her. However, as time passed by, I actually started to like her a lot. I guess I had to get used to a foreigner (or at least a mixed race) playing an ancient role. I found her really pretty later and began to love her as well. I guess you have to keep in mind that it is meant to be a comedy so some exaggeration is completely normal. You just gotta get used to it. Generally speaking, none of the actors were really bad. Maybe a bit awkward here and there but not to the point of bad. Generally speaking, it was quite alright.

*Music*
I liked it. Have nothing else to say about it

*Rewatch value*
Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Would I watch it again.... Probably not. One time is enough, but some lame parts/scenes are definitely worth to be put on repeat
