Visual Perfection but a slow burn ✨✨
Generation to Generation is a wuxia drama that is truly a treat for the eyes, even if the story moves a bit slowly. Even though the plot gets a little boring or repetitive in the middle because there are so many different sects to keep track of, the acting really saves the show.
Zhou Yiran is incredibly handsome and perfect as the "cold" leader, especially during his grand entrances, while Bao Shangen (Baobao) is so cute and smart that you can't help but root for her. The production is top-tier; it was filmed in beautiful places like Sichuan, and the hanfu they wore used such pretty colors that every frame looked like a painting.
One thing that surprised me was the music. Even though I am a huge OST lover and usually have a playlist full of C-drama songs, I didn’t really enjoy the OST for this drama. It just didn't hit the same way other shows do. However, if you have some patience for the pacing, the ending is amazing. The wedding scene is a total highlight—the wedding clothes are breathtaking and make the whole journey feel worth it!
