Narrative compression really affected this show
I love both Dilraba and Xingxu, but I feel this work fell short, mostly because of the production and direction. The focus was on key events, but it felt like I was watching highlights of a show rather than the actual show. There is so much context missing that I fail to connect to or root for any of the characters. I am supposed to hate the Dixao, but I can't see why they need to be eliminated. Except for using human beings as blood bags, there's no more harm I see them cause. They probably should have shown how the Nanshan Hunters came to exist and the actual harm the Dixaos caused long ago then I could root for them otherwise I could not feel it. It almost fell unnecessary to fight the Dixao. The English name also suggests it would be leaning more towards romance but it did notWas this review helpful to you?
