Laughable!

Honestly, one of the worst dramas of the year.

I’m forcing myself to keep watching it for Cheng Yi and a few other actors in the cast, but it’s really hard to endure such a poorly written and badly produced show.

The CGI is downright nauseating—absolutely terrible.

The only redeeming quality of this drama is the costume design and its stunning use of vibrant colors.

I’m currently on episode 25, but as one fellow MDL user perfectly put it, it feels like I’m watching a story made by a teenager, with zero maturity for a project like this.

Laughable, seriously!

I admit I skipped a few parts. Honestly, I couldn’t endure so much mediocrity. But I did finish this tragic excuse for a drama.

I saw that some viewers felt deceived by the plot and the ending. I didn’t feel that way — halfway through the story, I already knew exactly what awaited me.

My biggest disappointment is Cheng Yi. As one fellow viewer perfectly put it, it felt as though he were merely watching his own character from the sidelines. A caricatured face, an empty expression, and a complete lack of emotion or engagement — as if he were simply finishing a dull, joyless task.

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who appreciates quality productions. Unfortunately, not even Cheng Yi makes it worth watching.
