Yearner Girlfriend at it's peak
(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) SIGNIFICANT THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT:
There are only 3 things that truly caught my interest: the visuals, the romance between Ling and Wuyi, and the plot twist in the last 9 episodes because that was peak perfection. GJM is a director who makes a series look like a moving photoshoot. I especially love his expertise in creating such exciting and dynamic fight choreography!
The romance between Ling and Wuyi is the main reason I finished the whole series. I rarely see a relationship with this kind of complexity. There’s drama everywhere, but it actually makes so much sense. The writer really understood the assignment—creating reasonable conflict while maintaining a healthy relationship at the same time. It seems like other writers think the only way to create drama in a healthy relationship is through miscommunication and misunderstandings. But this drama didn't give off that vibe, which felt so refreshing and nice, IMO.
ಠ_ʖಠ THINGS I DISLIKED:
♪ When GJM transitions from a very intense, interesting scene straight into a slow, dragging conversation — it totally breaks the immersion! Who even thought this was a good idea?
♪ This drama definitely has its fair share of boring scenes... unfortunately. The first arc (Xiaowei) was really boring in my opinion. Thankfully, because of the stunning visuals and the cute moments between Ling and Wuyi, I was able to pretend it wasn't.
♪ Chen Duling's acting here is so weird? I mean, I guess I only really noticed it here, but it honestly pissed me off.
♪ Ju Jingyi's acting is so-so; sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. I love it when she cries because she really lets go of her expressions, but I really dislike it when they just move their mouths while acting instead of using their whole face/emotions.
♪ Yan'an... needs to broaden his expressions too. THESE ACTORS NEED TO JUST LET GO AND SHOW MORE EMOTION!
♪ ♪ About the power scaling of the plot... Mo Yuntan was so OP in the earlier episodes, almost defeating Lu and Wu, but he can't defeat a single fox at the end? Make it make sense!
♪ Not really interested in WuWu's relationship, it's so basic. They should have just been the second couple, not main characters, because it's obvious they were just accessories to the plot.
( ◜‿◝ )♡ INSIGNIFICANT THINGS:
♪ Compared to FOF, the OST of VOS is louder. Thankfully, GJM used less background music whenever characters speak compared to FOF. I don't really care that much, but I know others do so I pointed it out. (I love Ju Jingyi's voice though!)
♪ It wouldn't be GJM's work if there wasn't a hint of queerness. Duh. We got two instances here.
♪ It also wouldn't be GJM's work if it only focused on romantic bonds. GJM doesn't roll that way—sisterly bonds, brotherhood, and friendship will always be present.
