Great story/writing but not so great adaptation
I truly wanted to love this drama but I got bored quite quickly and skipped through lots of the boring blah, blah, blah conversations. It's probably just me but I felt that there was absolutely no chemistry between the leads, even when FL tried to play cutesy, her acting felt totally fake. The screen writers also made the mistake of keeping the FL lying act, schemes way too prolonged (23 episodes ) so by the time the truth was revealed, nobody cared anymore as viewers got bored already. I also had a bit of an issue with almost all of the actors/actresses looked exactly the same and it was hard to figure out who was whom, (example the FL and the Princess and some of the dancers looked almost identical) same with many of the male characters, very similar faces, age etc.
ML has a beautiful , very distinctive face/features and shows lots of emotions on his face throughout the show. On the other hand, the FL has a very average, non distinctive looking face that barely shows any emotions throughout the drama. Their "romance" looks fake and cold, lacks real emotional connection between the two actors. The Vibe/Chemistry was definitely off between the ML and FL characters
Overall, I found the storyline very interesting but the adoption not so much as up until past 23 episodes, it was pretty boring with the never ending poisoned then healed, injured and healed, more injury and healing over and over again plus the same schemes, same villains, same FL lying over and over..... Besides boredom, it became pretty exhausting to watch and I had to use my fast forward quite a lot
Good stuff: I absolutely loved, loved the spirit animals ( the dragon and the cat) and their friendship was especially heartwarming, good actors. Visually, it was probably one of the best fantasy dramas I have seen. Fantastic scenery, dream world, wonderful special effects . Loved the music and the beautiful costumes. You can tell that great efforts, lots of creativity and hard work went into this production. Excellent job team!! Thank you for the dreamy beautiful world, experience.
