Sadly, this is a poorly written drama.

More than a week has passed and it’s getting annoying how hard I try to help others understand the politics and the details of this drama. That just goes to show how it’s poorly written. The first part was done well, made us immerse in the story and in the art— cinematography, scoring, costumes, set design, etc. But the second half especially towards the end didn’t even give justice to how we all expected the root of the story will be well-explained. It didn’t help that Tian XiWei is so romance-averse that it showed a lot on the screen, making their intimate scenes so awkward that not even the great kisser Linghe could salvage it.

Not to mention how bad the marketing strategy was, mainly capitalizing on Linghe but didn’t even protect him after it backfired. They even allowed leaks to be released, jeopardizing the entire show as a whole. As much as I loved the entire month of March for celebrating PoJ, I hated how the bad parts of it will stay with me forever. The new CP fans are even so entiled, they’d be spamming in every other edits of Linghe’s other CP fans. Please let’s learn to respect everyone’s projects. The world doesn’t revolve on Pursuit of Jade.
