I would give my soul to experience this all over again
I've never watched a drama whilst ig was still airing but I couldn't stop myself for LITC and I DO NOT REGRET IT ONE BIT 🙏Honestly speaking I was glued to my seat from start to finish, the chemistry between HMH and LYX was so captivating in every scene, and everytime I would be on the edge of my seat waiting for the next time we saw a scene with just the two of them. As someone who's watching past works from both leads, LITC was a whole other level!!! I've never felt so attached to my drama lead characters in my life, feeling their pain and love so deeply 😭 but LITC made me feel like I myself was falling in love just from watching the leads dance around each other and evolve alongside one another. Simply put, the romance in this show was different from other types of romances I've seen in dramas, while theirs did start from a fake dating setting, it grew past anything I had expected, and by the end of the show, I felt like a proud parent who had watched their child achieve the impossible. Also, I'm always a sucker for an every matched power couple, and that's exactly what Mingzai are 🥰, they don't just match each other in raw strength, but character, and I love them so much for how far they've come by the end of the show.
Not to mention, the settings of the scenes were all so GORGEOUS, I'd give my life savings for a tour around the entire of the 6 realms if it existed XD.
Costume department also absolutely knocked it out of the ballpark, every outfit was so beautiful, and Ji Bozai, especially, in his dark, elaborate clothes...🤭 The contrast between Ming Yi and Ji Bozai in their outfits was straight up ethereal to me, and they never cease to take away mg breath when they debut in a brand new outfit! The costume department were honestly like fairy godmothers in this, I am not even joking 😭 I have no idea what they're on, but I need it.
Lastly, the cast beyond our leads were also absolutely delightful and might I say, fine eye candy themselves 😉, by the end of the show, I'd grown to appreciate and love the dynamics between the cast. Every person has their part to play and they don't just stay stagnant, but develop alongside the cast, and the actors just really did a great job fleshing out their characters and endearing themselves to me, each in their own, special, unique way ❤️
TLDR; This whole experience (of watching) was simply breathtaking and I hope everyone gets to enjoy this as much as I did. This show will definitely be staying among my top 2 for the rest of my life, I don't doubt it. To anyone reading this, please give it a try or a chance if you've dropped it!!
