Absolutely Beautiful Visuals, but Not Very Interesting Everything Else
8.00
(without the visuals, it would be a 7.50)
I came in, hearing a lot of things about this drama. For me, it's difficult to reach past the 30 episode mark. Only for very good dramas to reach past that. So I had cautious hope for this drama. But, result is, I couldn't even get to the 20th episode.
How I knew I couldn't want this drama any more: Watching 20 minutes felt like a marathon. I was bored to death and falling asleep. It simply couldn't compete with other more interesting dramas
Story:
Pros:
-the first half was nice
-the romance was fine. Their flirting and working together was cool.
-there were a few scenes and dialogues that were funny or meaningful
-I like Dou Zhao's character.
Cons:
-Her love interest, ml, wasn't nearly as interesting. He had some good scenes, but he felt more like a side character than ~the~ Male Lead
-it got slow after they got married (but at least they got a love marriage)
-their romance didn't make much sense to me
-though, I wish we got to see Dou Zhao get strong just a tad. When we got to her second life, she was already the smarted, richest and whatever in the land.
Acting/Casting:
-I don't know about what others say, but I don't think Li Yun Rui's acting was any good. The voice actor was really good though.
-Meng Zi Yi's acting was better. Not fantastic, but decent.
-chemistry was ok
update: chemistry: I saw some clips from future episodes. Their _ was pretty good, but I wish they hadn't saved all that in the end.
Music:
-pretty good
Rewatch:
-I'll watch clips just for fun, but no
-the visuals are amazing. I wouldn't even had made it past the 5th ish episode if not for the beautiful visuals. If you want to watch this drama JUST because of the visuals, I wouldn't blame you.
