A tangeled mess of somber love story that falls flat even in its glory
The story starts with ,welp, atrocious 10 episodes that are hard to sit through!! But if you get past them does it get better?? Yeah ,maybe?? Then again ,the last epi ruins it all.
In short ,if you like slow moving melo lovestory ,with constant misunderstandings you might want to give it a try. Or maybe you are just bai lu's or any other cast members fan,you may try it at your own expense.
For a bit of summary,the story startes with ling yue,our female lead , who finds that she is attached to heavenly god by some force ,but she doesn't know why and marry him just because he's handsome,or does she??
The heavenly god is lost in his 1st wife's memories and married her coz she resembles her,or does he??
If this intrigued you,go ahead and try watching,or you may skip it over for something better.
Starting with good,the acting was fine(apart from the fake cutsy acting in beginning),the music was good and drama genuinely had its good moments.
Now buckel up for the rant and spoiler!!!
They as a couple should not have existed ,period! They are supposed to be gods,but act soo childish,have to say I've seen better human couples than them ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. She is more on the emotional side ,has empathy and sympathy for humans and he's cold and aloof as long as it doesn't include her. But she never trusts him ,neither gives her any understanding to humans and he keeps on watching her make the same mistake as ever again and again.
Also there are weird timelines that do not add up.
They both are really slow in understanding and communicating to say the least.
He keeps on telling her that he knows her identity,but she acts surprised that he knew it was her... Like girl??? Also she convinces herself that he won't take part in resurrection of the child hence goes forward with the ritual without telling him but blames him when he unknowingly stops her???? Excuse me??? If he's responsible for the child's death so are you!!! She's too self-righteous for no reason at all ,while he is here just to keep on being attacked by her!
Then their long trail of misunderstandings,that never seem to end.Even in parts that they are tender ,there was a lingering tension!
I won't comment on any other couple because everyone of these had their own problems,but then comes our main lead. You might wonder why I'm soo disappointed in them?Cos,they are supposed to be god themselves and yet are soo powerless, stupid and helpless in parts. They could have easily looked up what happened with the other while they were away from each other,but kept on hoping for answers from the other instead of finding themselves.
I sympathies with ml more than fl.She went through a lot, i understand,but it is no excuse for how unreasonable she became after the tragedy.
And then there comes the last epi.... It just undoes everything that was good in 2nd part of the drama. Like ,come on!!! Jisui needed to feel the pains that he felt in her illusion ,for him to understand mortals and even feel the love he felt for your child,u going back and telling him everything doesn't change anything!!! He would still not want the child because it would harm your spiritual energy!! Also about Li Mo and hongling's arc ,they both needed to learn from their past mistakes and pitifullness to be able to break their tribulations,but if you just show them the path then what does tribulations even mean for them!!
The last episode was disappointing,but still the 2nd half was better than the 1st. I probably won't recommend it to anyone,but it wasn't unwatchable either.
