No cuz it gets to a point...
The heavy makeup, the blood spitting every other episode, and the misunderstandings that just never get resolved...yeah you lost me with this one. The thing is I really was loving this drama for a good 15 episodes before I started questioning my sanity. I really tried to use xianxia logic or at the very least stick it out for my girl bailu, but I fear I am not a cdrama warrior, or at least not a xianxia one.
First off, the CGI was good sometimes, other times it bordered on excessive and kinda jarring, but rly thats just my opinion. What is FACT however is the copious amount of makeup on the main leads faces ought to get someone fired and jailed for the crimes they committed against the audience and the actors. No cuz tell me why I'm watching a very cute romantic scene where ye xiwu is giving tantai jin a peck on the cheek but I get distracted cuz all of a sudden her lips look very chapped. COME to realize that very well might just be the makeup on his face transferring to her lips despite the peck being relatively light. that left me so flabbergasted I paused the show came back a day later cuz I needed 24 hrs to process that level of ridiculousness.
The only thing that bothered me more than the makeup, in fact, pmo to no end was the misogynistic trap called ye bingchan AND tian huan(dont get me started on this trifling b). Tbh, unfortunately I did not realize this was a misogynistic trap until I read the reviews for this show after deciding to drop it. No one has made my blood boil to such a dangerous degree. No cuz why was everyone dying BUT her. All the episodes during and after the dream had me praying on her downfall.
Anyway, bai lu ate up even though li susu was barely a character and rly just an idea of a fully fleshed out character. Luo yunxi ate up too even though he rly isn't my cup of tea. Deng wei... you r what I imagine an iphone face to look like(coming from someone who disagrees with the 'iphone face' rhetoric) but xiao lin was a cool character. PIAN RAN I LOVE YOU💕
