I'm at the 12th episode meaning that it is worth my time compared to other airing Cdramas. I haven't rated it yet.
I didn't expect much from this story...but. Both leads are steady on their dinghy boat without mast or sails although their director is guiding them nicely. For a shortlength Cdrama, the visual is not bad at all, the fantasy is at a fair level compared to higher standard fantasy stories. The God's allure is solemn and with clumsyness to lighten some scenes. I like his "at a loss expressions" when interacting with her that put a smile on my face. From which World does she come from, I don't care as of now. I just go with the flow, no headaches, no eyes rolling. Watching it with a kid's attitude. It's good to give not yet wellknown actors/actresses a chance. They are good at this pace, they'll grow stronger and better (hope in a safe surrounding).
Yes, it is a light story, not pretentious and suprisingly enjoyable to watch between my works in the making.
Some commenters gave me a blast. Some obviously wanted to be funny. Some comments were so serious. Really too hilarious...I almost broke a rib bone. Seriously this article is not deep into the reality of showbizz. This article is sand in the eyes. It reached its aim. Please MDL spare me a moment and stay away from politics.
This article is like a "superficial-too-late-awakening" when mentionning makeup instead of the danger of whitening the skin with medicationand pharmaceutical products already used for decades.
Which brings most profit ? makeup products ? pharmaceutical products ? or plastic surgery ? BINGO ! All of the above !
The trends of plastic surgery to name a few, are : botox upper lips, forehead, cheek lines (restrict facial expressions, the actor/actress must lose weight prior to injections otherwise they look puffy), chin implant (notice the scar under the chin, restrict the actor/actress diction, lower facial expressions), perfect dental replacement (not really adapted for historical, wuxia, etc genre), ear corrections (enlarged to make the head/face look smaller), lower aegyo-sal (for a look-like-child-face), high nose (doesn't show if well filtered when edited, restrict facial expressions), breast implants (plastic surgeons are sued if they name the risks of allergies and cancer. A friend of mine had this bad experience and she is not the exception), fat inserted in the buts (for look-like-thiner-waist).
Just looking at some actor/actresses...I suffer. Thank God not all go through these processes. They already go through so much with physical training and no private life to gift us. As long as they are safely surrounded.
This article is written to sidetract the discussion from a more painful subject : depression and death sentence. You read me correctly. The percentage of depression and suicides in yongsters and teenagers groups due to excess medication, botched surgeries, pressure to find the budget needed to look like their idols is huge. Parents, communities, families, have a role into this to support and protect their children.
But hey who am I ? From a critical angle I still like watching my Cdramas. This article will not stop me from doing so.
What ? A short length drama ? No way ! Condensed it is the length of a movie. It is worth it. So, I'll wait for the 12 episodes out and sit comfortably to watch.
Cannot watch 2 episodes in a raw. I am only at the 5th episode. It is so lively that my head is spinning with all the shouting. Fortunately the production and story is well directed, otherwise I would have given it up. It deserves my rating.
Xiao Zhang's (aka Guo Jing) talent is better shown in movies. He is a surprise to me. As for Sabrina Zhuang aka Huang Rong, it was satisfying that the director didn't drowned her in a too heroic character. She is a healer for the soul and bodies. With her power she is pairing well with Guo Jing. 30 violins listed in the credits.
I am reaching episode 10 only. A little take of my "feelings" on this story while I slowly savour the begining of my well deserved week-end.
Right after Pursuit Of Jade comes Yan YI Kuan aka Emperor/A JI in this series. I always liked his assurance in his acting. And his voice OMG hope it's his real voice.
Kenji Chen aka Fan Zi Xu endorsed his role correctly as a handsome villain. His first minute appearance gave me the vibe of a gentleman and suddenly his role changed drastically without warning. That was brillant. I enjoyed watching him in The Last Immortal and his second chance of redemption. His hair is a plus in his artistic feature for historical dramas. Sorry for my sudden thought on his hair but at every of his takes I am bewildered.
Zhou Zhan aka Xi Men hides his revenge and adamantly awaiting in the dark to strike. Playing the commoner without backbone, family neither status support. I am looking forward to his success.
Production, wardrobe, props, OST and acting are surprising for a 7 to 11 minutes story per episode. It looks like an expensive project though.
The bullying subject is very appropriate and well directed. Appropriate because bullying has no age, no era, no set country, no race, no status, no religion but is an ingrained satanic feeling in a human. The (unknown to me) director nails it.
My first watching such a short length Cdrama and I really enjoy it. The best timely story everynow and then for me between my working day projects to relax.
Posted my review...didn't think it would be that long LOL🥲Now time to lie down and try to sleep I guess😔
Up to now 2 streams on You**be praising only Zhang Ling He as if he is the only actor carrying the drama on his soulders. No mention on the director and the entire cast. Very disappointing.
So much saga explained in episodes 39 and 40. It is quite a twist. Qi Min superhumain...no broken bones, no head injury, no physical handicap resulting from his fall. Qian Qian from another era ? Is it an opening for a second season ?

No need for blood. Karma is a bi**h towards them.
