Ugh
I'm dropping this for now. (?)
Unfortunately I bought all three (?) seasons on disc, so I might finish it one day.
I remembered the beginning in the arena, which I still think is a fun scene - it actually feels a lot more realistic and gritty than I'd expect. And I remembered Dong Qing's animated performance as Qing Tan - I do really like her in this.
I also kind of like some of the side characters - Yang Hao Yu as horny Gandalf is funny.
But god, I despise Yang Yang as the protagonist. First drama I've seen him in and he's absolutely godawful.
Genuinely unhinged attempts at "acting", completely destroys the main character and makes him impossible to like.
The story is kinda just dumb cliched fantasy nonsense.
