Missed Opportunity
What starts off as a promising Wuxia Revenge Story falls flat in the second half.
It had the makings of a great story similar to "Nirvana in Fire."
A Strong MC in Mo Qing Chuan, interesting characters, Great Wuxia Action scenes, in an interesting backdrop with fantastic costume and colors.
Unfortunately, the story is let down by:
- Lack of Action Scenes. The scenes were executed quite well, however they were far and few between and short.
- Lack of attention on Wuxia. Rather focusing more on politics.
- Forced Romance in the 2nd half. For someone reason they decided to force some sort of romance that was nonexistent to begin with. Alot of the plot in 2nd half revolves around the weak ML and attempts to save FL due to his selfish feelings. Prioritized over the FL's schemes which fall flat and felt rushed.
- Weak ML. Character and Actor.
- Overall seemed to have lost focus on the title's character.
Everything else was positive especially:
- Cristy Guo as Mo Qing Chuan carried this show.
- Yang Fu Yu as Jiang Kui was great too.
Side Note:
Some of the BGM is the same as another title "Noble Aspirations", which i enjoyed. Haha.
