Title When Destiny Brings the Demon
Same I think some just want to nitpick because they don’t see hype in the drama. If it’s not to your liking…
Exactly. When I watch The last immortal I love the actors in it. But I was one of few who hated costumes and the feathers they put on most of cast. It was horrible so was some of CGI. 😭 But I still held on with drama. Even though storyline and writing was not strong it was pleasantly good still. But when I see some say it’s cringe or talk how we just love drama due to the actors are sexy etc. It’s like lol you do want them to be liked for that as well right. Sima Jiao is not your typical Xianxia male lead. He is not the ones that tell you one thing and do another. He’s about action. Which is why we enjoy the drama. The writing did not have many cliche plots like other xianxia dramas. Yes, We got memory loss, stabbing but instantly resolved. We got leads deaths but again instantly resolved. It not take 6-9 episodes to resolve misunderstandings, deaths, memory loss. I think that’s what gets some of the new watchers. This isn’t a typical “Save the world. Save the dasmel” xianxia. Our lead FL is office modern day girl who is lazy, not whiny, not clingy, not useless. (Some would beg differ) but even in her weak moments she to me wasn’t weak) and our ML isn’t the usual uptight immortal righteous God. He’s a killing revengeful docile husband. Who believes in protecting his wife and never letting her lift a finger. How many xianxia dramas we wished a ML would protect his woman full out. Without listening to others etc? I know I’ve seen so many who never put the FL above their beliefs etc. Sima Jiao put Tingyan over his revenge and even balance the two. She even joined in the revenge. I guess some watchers are just use to same old same that they forget how low budget dramas can be good. Spite this drama not getting enough promo it is definitely getting praise and attention. Netizens and Intl fans do love it spite a few who don’t. All in all I think that’s what truly matter. I saw today on Weibo Arthur and TingYan has gotten offer roles for more lead roles in other dramas. So the doors are opening because of this drama and the heat it’s brining. Which is good for us fans of the CP. 😊
