Dragon Love is mythical romance in the spirit of Romeo & Juliet, where two lovers are kept apart by circumstances of their birth. She's a dragon princess and he a mere mortal, albeit a very talented one. Their journey to love doesn't offer much in terms of character growth. To make up for that the chemistry has to be jaw-dropping, off-the-charts, out-of-this-world good. Here it falls short.
I'm not questioning Benny and Fennie's abilities, as both have track records of being capable and likeable actors. Their performance isn't wooden, but feels like it's set on autopilot. There's no subtlety or depth. It's like sipping on flat soda, not terrible as much as it is disappointing. At least it doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth.
This show is fine as a casual watch. If you're a romance fan looking for a typical happy ending, this is probably not your cup of tea.
