What supposed THE BEST series turns into THE WORST real quick
From the start to ep 20, I still think this is gonna be one of the best series I've watched. It was literally perfect. Then it turns sour from ep 30, nothing is better, most of relationships are ruined, good people die or demoted, bad people get away. No happy moments, no payback. No truth revealed, No misunderstanding resolved. Not even happy ending can save it. I wasn't even excited or happy about ML and FL wedding anymore. Maybe a little happiness from Princess Xin Nan but thats' it.
Suggestion: Watch up to wedding scene in ep 30 and stop there. There is nothing important to prevail. Nothing good awaits, No more exciting things, whether love line, avenge, or other plot. just pure frustration.
Everything is perfect in the first half
- Funny
- Cute couples
- Everyone is smart
- Motivating and upligting
- the good guys always win
Everything is bad in the second half
- most people turn unresonable (especially Fu Yin, wtf is she trying to do and gain? lol)
- too many toxic people and too many drama. I can't watch many ep in one go just bc of how toxic it is.
- Twisted morality, the screen writer somehow try to justify all the bad actions and paint it as "good". The script mentioned the queen like she is goddess but she is just Evil queen who unreasonably kill people without investigation while profect her son from the bigger crime he did. Or Lu Yingying trying to give herself to Yan zhi fang as redemption for her dad, and call Yan zhi fang coward for refusing her. Who does that? If a daughter of someone who killed my whole family try to have sex with me so I can forgive her dad, I'd be disgusted too. (I know Yan zhi fang is no good either,) he initiated a lot of conflict and messed up most people's lives in the story but he just got away. This series talked about Karma but Crown prince and Yan zhi fang just get away and live happy life, while Prince Han did nothing wrong. He was put in jail and demoted for stupid reasons. Let's be honest, screenwriter just tried to find a reason to disqualify him from becoming a crown prince because he's fat. Not to mention Prince Zhou who force kiss FL and pressure Fl into breaking the rules, FL stil said he is an upright man.
- Not only we didn't get to see ML&FL together, they force us to watch romance of old evil queen and king. FL and the third wheel Zhou THE WHOLE TIME. ML basically becomes supporting role.
- FL and ML misunderstand each other is horible and too long It was really hard to keep watching after that. But it's worse when they reconcile. Because by that time I already stop rooting for them. and the they did it very sloppy, there is no explaination why ML turn to FL again. There never be any truth revealed. They never resolve misunderstanding. just.. okay back together.
Pro:
- you have a very good first half to enjoy
- Even the second half. You can still enjoy funny charactors like I love the sheng bothers, the princess Xin Nan, even the bad guy Luqi. And of course ML. I am not a fan of Xu Kai but man he is so chrismatic here. You'd enjoy every scene of him, serious fighting or funny.
- Chemistry is amazing (despite only few scenes we got). FL always loves and praise ML.
