Mystery Fantasy at its best
It's been a while since I was so excited for a drama. I started watching it out of curiosity and as a long time fan on Song Wei Long and Liu Hao Cun. and it turn out to be one of the most exciting mystery drama.
Indeed there's no need for hard core romance in this kind of mystery drama but I'm pretty satisfied with how it turn out. Not too much not too little just a tease is enough.
No doubt.. Song Wei Long and Liu Hao Cun chemistry are great... they brought their characters well. They're so underrated in cdrama world. but I love their acting here.
It's my first time seeing Ao Rui Peng and Wang Yi Ting acting and I think they did very well.. chemistry were great and they portray their character very well.
Ok let's get to the story. It started out as pretty mediocre story but as the story progress the mystery deepens. Every episodes and story tells of an unfortunate human desire at its worst. The relics really depicts human desire and their worse attitude.
Most probably.. the relics chose people with the worse desire they possessed. I think if the relics fall unto a great person they'll be less evil.
oh probably the relics inside the clam was the most ridiculous one for me as it does not depict any human desire but simply monstrous. The most ridiculous enemy would be Leopard or rather the make up of the actress portraying Leopard. ( I can't stand her plump red lips.. sorry not being biased was just its just too..... )
I love how they wrote Mu Dai's dual personality disorder and how they dwelt on it and gave us deeper history of how it started. In real life... this kind of thing really occurs. In order to protect themselves one will create an alternate personality just simply to protect the main one. (I guess people beyond depression will create this other personality if remain untreated).
As for Luo Ren's baggage, it was his guilt of being able to survive the disaster occurred in his group as well as the adopted daughter.
Yeah the heaviest would be Yi Wan San's baggage among the five but glad that he had Hong Sha as the stopper or rather the reliever of his pain.
The easiest would be Cao Pang2... he has a pretty easygoing lifestyle hence his baggage was not as heavy as the other.
As for Hong Sha, the moment she lost her grandpa, she gained a new family and best friends that's why her baggage was not that heavt as well.
I love the ending.. it is a happy ending but I do wish for an extra short episodes telling how the five of them live their lives after the ordeal not just the three months after it.
And also for the last villain (Or rather the seventh relic Zhang Guang Hua), I do wish they really shown what actually happen to him not just showing his old self laying on the snow (My guess would be he perished from this world aka die).
It was great they did tell us that the other five relics were inside the phoenix squad... but I were wondering about the sixth relic, what happen to it? Did it get injected or merge with the other five or perishes with the seventh one. Can't help but wonder.
Oh the OST are great as well.. I listened to it and it's pretty good .
Alright... If you still doubting to watch.. don't just go ahead and watch with no expectation and you'll l find it amusing and interesting.
I hope you guys will love this drama as much as I did.
I hope to see the phoenix squad acting in another mystery drama together... they made a great team.
Enjoy.. ^^v
