More than average
I'm a fan of Ding Yuxi, so that's the only reason why I watched it until the end, otherwise I would have dropped it halfway. This drama is quite average. They could have done a better job.
- The cast is good, the fight choreographies are good, and the costumes are good.
- The storyline is below average (plot twist, character arcs, etc)
- The music is quite bland and forgettable.
- The director did a crapy job at directing: some scenes that are supposed to be emotional are dragging way too much, the pacing is wrong, and they are being filmed/edited in an awkward way.
I'll give one example that stuck me as STUPID:
A scene on a battlefield. The battle is over. 2nd male lead is standing alive. His friends come back (horseback riding). Once they see him, they get down from their horse 30 meters away from him and start running toward him...
I mean, are you serious? Why don't you ride your horse until you reach your destination? Why get down and run for 30 meters? Because it looks cool on camera? Screw this.
From now on, I'm only going to watch dramas Rated above 8.
