Destiny and Saving

Righteous sects??? You must be joking. Useless, weak, pathetic losers!

I thought I was gonna write a long summary breaking each episode into sort of segments but I can’t be bothered to be honest because I’m just disappointed.

Firstly, the story is excellent. I really like it. However the execution was woeful. The writing choices were just terrible.

The acting was good, but I marked it down because of the villains annoying, crazy laugh

The music was also good and generally appropriate to the scene but having sad music when the villain meets their demise is just all kinds of wrong.

I’m really annoyed about the female lead stabbing our male lead in the heart TWICE for revenge over her dad‘s death. I understand her impulsive and irrational behaviour but when she actually finds out the truth we get a half hearted apology and she literally does nothing to the actual perpetrator.

She was so determined on taking revenge for her dad‘s death against our hero. Where was this energy for the actual person who did it? Annoying.

I was getting tired of watching EVERY EPISODE seeing our heroes getting wrongly accused, slandered against, tortured and nearly killed. Of course all they said once it was proved they were wronged is that it’s fine, don’t worry about it, I don’t blame you.

They kept overly using the word righteous to describe these heavenly sects. It was funny at first but became came unbearable because every single one of these people were complete and utter scumbags.

As soon as they needed help, they came begging the male lead but as soon as the tiniest little thing went wrong, they were quick to blame him and use torture or other foul means to strip him of his title and position.

To top this off, in the last episode we have to watch for 10 minutes our female lead crying so brokenheartedly over the villain (2ml) who manipulated, ruined her life, basically enslaved her and would’ve had no problem violating her if it wasn’t because of the backlash. Please make it make sense..

For the first half a dozen episode, I thought this was going to be a strong 8 but it quickly unravelled into a complete mess.

I was sceptical watching 40 episodes of 45 minutes but I found myself watching intently without skipping for the first 10 or so episodes. That’s how good this could’ve been.

What a shame!

PS. I’m still waiting for the conversation between the male lead and his mum about the time she tried to kill him.

Most Useless ML Ever

The female lead’s brilliant performance is the only flicker of life in this otherwise dead-on-arrival drama.

The male lead is a disgrace — a sniveling, spineless, brain-dead caricature masquerading as a protagonist.

He spends every moment either sobbing, dithering like a coward, or being led around like a clueless pawn. No strength, no intelligence, no presence — just dead weight dragging the entire story down.

His acting is so wooden and lifeless, it’s an insult to the very idea of a male lead. Watching him stumble through the show feels like being forced to suffer the worst humiliation.
