Packing a punch every Episode!

Spectacular! Phenomenal! We are almost half way through now and this drama has been consistent to show up every episode! I am blown away by the story and the acting. The writing and story are alive and fresh! The acting only enhances the story! Zhou Yiran and Chen du Ling are F*cking killing it!!!! They are not just insanely gorgeous faces but incredible talents! F*ck yeah let's go!!!

Great chemistry between the main leads - you are rooting for them and loving every moment of connection between them. Great rivalry and acting between Dengyi and Yanfang - it is exhilarating to watch them make moves in their power struggle as if playing a game of chess. And great villain. You really want to punch Xiao Xun in the face over and over again.

The costumes are gorgeous, the sets feel expansive. The background music composition is lively and sets the mood. The cinematography is gold! Great shots, great angles, great movement, great colours, great pacing, great storyboarding. There are good twists and good plot points.

My only criticism at this time has to do with the CGI and voice over. Most of the CGI is too noticeable and doesn't quite blend in and convince the eye. And something is wrong with the voice over...maybe the track is literally a second off but I can tell this is a voice over track. I'm getting nothing of the original sound recording and because of this I feel a little disconnected and not fully drawn in. These factors are issues that happen after filming and are the editing team's department. These issues suck but deserve a pass. But Directing and Acting, Story and Storyboarding are giving 10 out 10.
