A TRUE MASTERPIECE
I've been getting so bored with c dramas lately because of the repetitive storylines & insistance on exaggerated romance or powers. It's always the same boring, predictable plots over & over again. I was beginning to miss the heavily political, plot lidden, intricate stories that get you hooked on your toes all the time. With this one you really don't know what to expect. Every episode is better than the last & every new plot outsmarts the previous. Best part is it still does use supernatural elements but it does so very tastefully, so it really blends into the background. The romance still hasn't kicked in where I reached but I'm already loving the prospective dynamic of the two characters. The chemistry between the two actors was insane in the bts & press conference.Also, very special shout out to the casting team for choosing such a talented selection of actors. So far the acting is what impressed me most. From the children to the side characters, they all did a fabulous job so far conveying their scenes. The child actors for one truely impressed me & they look so much like the older versions it's scary lmao. And of course we need to applaud XiaoZhan for this portrayal. Xiaolong really wasn't playing around when he chose him. Now I get why he is so popular. I always stumble upon him on social media. Whether it's his dramas or fashion related stuff but still didn't get to try anything of his. Thought it was mostly bcz of his good looks but now I know better. Gotta give his other shows a try too now, I've become a fan. Really this man was BORN to act. He makes it look so natural, so easy to be immersed with his emotions. I've rarely seen actors so openly emotional & expressive in their roles. It really impressed me. It's like he really is zanghai. Everything about him there is impactful when conveying the scenes. His eyes alone are paid actors lmao. It's literally scary how alive they get. When you have eyes like that, what's the need for lines even?! Yeah I'm totally raving over him. To think I came to this show bcz of my girl Jingyi ðŸ˜. I was so excited to see her work with such a high profile actor. Figures maybe popular stuff are popular for a reason lmao. Hope I'll get more content to blabber about her too in the future. But for now, I'm really not complaining.
