The Future” Looked Bright… Until She Showed Up

First of all, the title is highly misleading. Anyone reading it would assume we’re diving into a time-travel plot—maybe some epic sci-fi twists or at least a dramatic wormhole. But no, “future” here just means the ML is into robotics and owns a few gadgets that scream “futuristic vibes.”

Now don’t get me wrong—the plot had promise! We’ve got a smart male lead, cohabitation, a classic contract relationship... basically, a setup that could’ve been fun, even without anything too wild. I was ready to be mildly entertained at worst.

She is not even worth discussing... ' TOTALLY TALENTLESS' horrible dialogue delivery, horrible expression, horrible spontaneity, horrible , body language ... LASTLY horrible face. Seems like the casting directors in china have fetishes for young girls ( or those who can act like one) otherwise there is no way you can't get decent talent in a country with a 1.4 billion population.
After spending a truckload on the cast, sets, equipment, production and marketing... You give the wheel to such incompetent FL ...even the ML was annoyed as there was literally zero chemistry.

Probably the quickest drop

This is probably the quickest that I ever dropped a drama .. just 2 episodes in and I knew I won't be able to tolerate this till the end. Watching third episode was already test of patience.
Reasons this didn't worked out for me:

1) lead characters are not inspiring enough : the big fat bully Male lead who forced the demon lord fella to give his core even when clearly demons were the first ones to suffer.. I have zero to negative affinity for such protagonists.. he borrowed the power of FL divine fire and bullied the third party .. I mean what's next , giving him nobel peace prize for this? .
The FL character is equally bogus .. she has absolutely no say in anything ..whosoever takes her power for their use ..she literally like the stinky towel wrestler use after each rounds to wipe them off.

2) main cast : I don't know if the character disappointed me more or the cast .. not a fan of yun long nothing about his acting or looks fancy me ..just not my type. He is old enough yet his acting is so mediocre, I mean what's his excuse ?? there are so many actors like geng xin ( lead from legend of shen li) who are about his age but you can clearly see the difference in quality of their performance.
Female lead was fine . though over shadowed by the sizzling guest appearances.


3) A big bouquet of popular faces but plot was not doing any justice , looks like they spent all budget on cast and no allowances remain to hire a good writer .

4) I watched till ep 3 but I already knew this show is going to have an unnecessarily long list of characters.. well I don't mind if the story is good .. but I cant say that for this one.

And let’s be real—if I pushed through two more episodes, I’d find five more reasons to ghost this drama, so why waste the brain cells?

Will i ever be revisiting this ?

Hell No .. I will chose watching something like moonlight mystique tenth time with eating plain oats over watching this even once.

PS: 3 out the 3.5 star rating I gave, goes to ming hao ..boy saved the day for me ❤️

Baseless and boring

( starts with a fairy trying to make a pact with devil in order as instructed by her grandpa ..devil appears and just bites her ...) this all is a part of game she is playing ... Like preface of the game.

It was okay until now .. then starts a lousy narration in which she explains about the game and related reality ...and suddenly we see the devil and fairy have already became a friendly couple ... The hell ... No context about how their feelings grew ...no build up of the story ... Just out of nothing they appear in a "caring for each other" phase .... For Pete's sake they are devil and fairy ...do they fall in love just like that ...
Honestly speaking the way the story progresses suddenly it was indeed best to be developed as a game but I don't think you should portray a drama in such inconsistent manner ...
Can't tell if the story got any better afterwards but I decided to drop it after episode 1 .. time is too precious to waste on a drama that doesn't have a nice pilot episode ...

Feeling bad Guan Yue ..he was looking very handsome and acted well ..but damn it to hell this lousy script turned the entire drama into a waste ..
