Just bear with the editing coz the drama is really good
Before anything else...what in the world is that editing??? I mean it so bad that even a layman could pinpoint it out, yet the makers gave it a green flag. Seriously, this drama's worse thing is its editing, nothing else. It is so good that even after all that you will binge watch all the episodes.
First of all the actors are just gorgeous and it wouldn't have worked if the acting wasn't up to the mark. Every character has a story to tell and sometimes it feels like I am watching a sequel to another drama. If it wasn't for bad editing all the moments would have really great impact especially in scenes where they talked about earlier generation. But look at the beauty of it that even after all the editing mayhem it still conveyed the emotions. The main characters are perfect for the cast they visually look good and have great chemistry. I did find FL little bit on the weaker side in acting but her character is really well written at least for now her acting doesn't bother me much. Plot is full of suspense and witty dialogues and you wouldn't want to miss the smart leads which is rarely bestowed to cdrama viewers. You will keep on guessing who is villain who is not. So in keeping suspense the show is doing great and I am loving the storyline so far. Cinematography and action scenes are really well done and the music is really very beautiful. All I can say is- just give it a try it has a promising premise and good actors plus in later episodes their chemistry is sizzling. Though the actors are quite young so don't expect too much romance from it. It is more about Generational struggles in jinaghu than just the romance.
(Am I the only one who thinks they have gone overboard with their makeup? They all look a little plastered.)
I would suggest to watch this show when you are in drama slump, only then you could have to patience to bear with certain elements of the drama. Though I highly recommend the novel.
PS: Can't believe it was written by the same author who wrote Love Like the Galaxy and The Story of Minglan, I mean these are one of my favourite dramas of all time, now I can definitely see similarities in the writing style. This really had so much potential but the execution couldn't do justice to the story.
