Editing Could Have Been Better
I started this drama around August 2024 but I decided to stop watching it and went to watch something else. I wasn’t pulled in at the beginning. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting a lot from it. I picked it up again on 09.30.2024 after almost a month later. I told myself that I’ll give this drama a chance. I actually enjoyed every bit of it. The actors were all amazing with the portrayal of their characters. One of the things I loved about this drama was there’s no second aggressive, jealous type male lead vying for the FL’s love. We’re only focused on with the main leads, that’s it. I love the friendship they all shared here. They really grew on me. I’m so sad it’s all over. 36 episodes. It was really great. I just didn’t like how there were some loose ends and some bad editing. I wish they showed the uncle. He just gave away his remaining life to the pearl. I wanted to see the reaction of elder Zhu. He was really rude to the group of friends throughout the whole story. I wanted him to get down on his knees and say sorry for everything he has done. I wanted xingzhen to see JY. He really believed that JY was innocent. The fight after the wedding was so abrupt. No transition at all. It was so quick and they did a time jump after 3 years later. They said JY burned to ashes but will be reincarnated. It’s hard to understand how he was brought up, but it’s ok, as long as they are together in a happy ending, I’ll take it. I wished they showed the little talisman genies one last time. They were so cute. They spent too much time on her mom’s back story and how the three men loved her so much. I don’t understand why the mom didn’t say anything to her friends, at least warned them about Ying Zewei. It’s a little ridiculous. Love the magic effects, the set, the costumes, and THE MUSIC. There are dramas that have music that don’t stick with me. With this one, OMG. Perfect song choices. It tears up my heart just listening to them. Zhang Ling He did well in this drama. Bravo! I loved this and My Journey to You. I did not like The Princess Royal that much. Although, the writers were to blame for the sh-tty rape scene they added in. That was absurd. Anyways, I give this drama a 4/5 because there was no dull moments and kept me engaged until the end. Hope to see more of Zhang Ling He’s dramas in the future. He was great as a demon here.
