So far, so good! Will definitely stay tuned for more.
Whispers of Fate was dropped today and my friend and I immediately jumped onto it after tracking news about it for a long time! We love anything Luo Yunxi usually, so we were so down for this. So far, we are not disappointed.
The plot is incredibly intriguing, but also surprising in some areas. My friend and I are usually very good at calling certain twists and pointing out inconsistencies in the plot, but this show has surprised us many times. There are parts in the first few episodes where we we've called it out for not making any sense, or some of the characters' actions being weird, only for the detective character in it to call it out as well. The inconsistencies are on purpose and it gives the audience a sense of being a part of the mystery, like we are the detectives as well. It's very, very cool.
The central characters are great so far. Tang Li Ci is a perfect blend of serious, mysterious, and stoic, but with a playful energy that allows Luo Yunxi to dip into his comedic side a bit. Zhong Chun Ji is a fantastic female character. There's a trope in so many of these shows where the main girl takes forever to figure out someone is corrupt or sus because she's close to that character, but she sees this character do wrong ONCE and figures him out. It was so refreshing to see, and she is consistently clever with her own strengths and endearments. I specifically like her with Miss Shei. They're a sweet duo. Miss Shei is intriguing as well. We haven't fully figured out her character arc yet, but she's already got a voice of her own, which is fantastic. Chi Yun is adorable and, again, comes across as the naive, silly comedic relief, but there's already hints of more to him.
The fighting scenes are, of course, incredible to watch. 8 Stars for plot right now because the exposition at the beginning was tough to follow and got a little confusing, but I assume that's because it's all going to be revealed later on.
The entire show so far is visually stunning. I am so excited to keep watching this show.
