Finally watched this, but it fell short of my expectations
The high rating had my hopes up and I honestly wanted to watch something with a little more comedy. To be honest, Bai Jiu's screams brought me here lol. But unfortunately, it fell short.
What I liked:
- Strong start: the first few episodes were pretty good but after they solved the case of the murdered brides the storyline just didn't interest me that much anymore.
- Hou Ming Hao: He's just really fits this role as a demon or powerful being. I watched him in Love in the Clouds and I swear this kind of role is just made for him. His expressions and mannerisms are so good.
- Friendship and side characters: I really liked the whole group and the friendships and their different personalities.
What I didn't like/ Could've been better:
- Pacing: Way too slow. Sometimes they just be showing visuals on the screen and they would talk so slow. No way it takes 10 min of talking about one thing and then the ep is over like come on. Maybe if it was faster paced, I wouldn't lose interest. I had to do stuff while watching so it didn't feel like I was wasting time :(
- Useless Goddess: No offense but what was her purpose? Like she had no power, she moaned and hates herself for being weak, it just felt silly. I feel her character could've been written better. Maybe she could've been super smart and outsmart the villains. Her character when she was introduced was super interesting, I thought she'd be really intelligent, but it went so downhill :( I was shouting at my screen
- Deaths - Ying Lei's death was so sad. He deserved more. I get why he died but it was so sad. I also considered him part of the crew. I know he wasn't originally part of the group but for me he was there. Bai Jiu's death... I'm still in denial. I always thought he'd appear screaming and then they'd laugh and joke. The ending was so sad. Zhuo Yi Chen lost his family and at the end he also lost all his friends. Like give my guy a break. So sad :_(
- Villains coming back from the dead: I hate when someone who you fought died reappears a few episodes later like bro, just die already. Like I thought we dealt with you once, why you back!
I hope it's not too harsh, I did enjoy parts of it but I feel it was just too slow paced for me and the storyline became a little boring. And if you don't like sad endings like me, beware.
