Two Dominant Leads That Might Be Too Much to Handle
Who Rules the World, starring Zhao Lusi and Yang Yang, actually has a solid plot and is loved by many. But honestly, I haven’t finished this drama myself. Mainly because the wuxia or fantasy genre isn’t really my favorite, and in this drama, both the male and female leads are extremely dominant and powerful.
Personally, I prefer dramas where the female lead is smart and the male lead is strong. But in this case, the female character seems to overpower the male one, making her come off as a bit rebellious and that made watching it feel a bit tiring. Which is unfortunate, because I really like Zhao Lusi.
From the reviews I’ve read, the storyline is actually pretty good. It’s just that the dynamic between the two strong leads made it mentally exhausting to keep up. I’d still recommend this drama to people who enjoy wuxia or strong female lead stories, but for me, I might only continue watching it when I run out of other shows to watch.
