My perseverance vs fate
It took me quite a while to decide what exactly should I write in my review on this series ....
See !! In the first half of the series, everything felt unnecessarily complicated simply because the real problems were never properly addressed. Creativity seemed like it will commit suicide any minute ... I mean,... if you know you’re dealing with a split personality or a two-souls-in-one-body situation, how about getting some actual treatment before charging into a war? Like Who in the world would lack this common sense ...... ANS : this FL .
The plot leaned too heavily on needless tragedy and repetition. The leads kept getting saved on a kind of “barter system”: take his core, save her; separate the souls, save her; merge them again, save her; return the core, save him… and so on. It wasn’t until episode 18 that the story finally gained some serious traction.
The female lead, unfortunately, stayed quite useless throughout—either lying wounded in bed or dragging everyone else into chaos. She lacked both spiritual strength and basic presence of mind; even her mortal tasks ended in failure (like taking the tiger tally with herself when she clearly wasn’t in the right state of mind thus resulting in the kingdom's doom). The male lead, meanwhile, got completely entangled in her mess. His personal goals and desires were sidelined, and after all that suffering, he achieved nothing. In the end, he just died trying.
That said, Xu Zhenzhen and Zhang Jingyun made a stunning lead pair. Her charm and his intensity balanced beautifully~~~ especially those fiery, passionate kisses of Jingyun’s that could make anyone skip a heartbeat.
It was good drama but maybe I was expecting a better execution of events instead of just using the same characters in the similar events in cycle.
