Insane chemistry and face cards
Two of the most prettiest chinese actors starring in one drama. Of course I wouldn't miss seeing this one.
The chemistry is insane. Sparks fly every time the leads are together in one frame. I find myself blushing every time. What I love about them is that they don't hold back with the skinship and not just the typical lips barely touching each other. Boy oh boy these two know how to kiss. They are both so hot for this! The acting of the casts is so good, and the dynamic between the leads and the supporting characters is so fun to watch. The costumes and the hair are also so pretty on them. Everything is so pretty.
My only problem is the inconsistency of the plot. Sometimes I have to just turn off my brain in order to get through the episodes. For example, Ming Yi (female lead) is the warrior goddess but her fight scenes are clearly lackluster. It's as if she's been nerfed. The characters are also frustrating sometimes because of their decisions. I hate the misunderstanding trope the most so it's torture for me since the premise of the drama is about a misunderstanding The villains' motives are so shallow that I find myself often scratching my head. I do believe they are so poorly written that I don't feel a single sadness for them when they met their end.
HOWEVER, the drama redeemed itself when they gave a full on happy ending, instead of just an open ending or just merely a 5-minute happy ending scene. I know I know the bar is low. But you have to understand this is extremely rare for a xianxia drama, and I hope and pray to see more chinese dramas with a happy ending.
