Silly dramas are funny until they get serious.... And I need them to stay silly
Well....
I got reeled into watching Pull Strings by the trailers. I always love a silly drama and I especially love Ao Ruipeng as a silly character. I laughed SO MUCH during the first 22-23 episodes and then the plot got serious, literally jokes aside.... Please dear writers, I need you to figure out how to keep silly dramas silly until the end, you can't crush my soul like this.
I still give this drama a rating of 8 out of 10, because at the end of the day, it's still good and worth watching. The plot is pretty solid although I did not quite get the bit the Dragon King's plot, but I blame this on my ability to comprehend the subtitles lol. What I think is a negative point for the plot is the relationship between Yunxiao and Li Changsheng. Hear me out, not every drama needs the main leads to fall in love, their relationship can stay platonic. Another thing I've noticed in dramas like this, when the writers put in a thing like Changshou bringing modern world into the fantasy world, this lets call it quirk for a lack of better words, slowly dissipates throughout the drama. Why. Writers, please figure this one out too.
I really loved the cast, especially Cui Shaoyang getting so many episodes. And I don't have anything more to add here lol
The OST in this drama definitely stands out. None of the songs caught my attention especially, but then again, I'm not really an OST person.
Rewatch value. I'd rewatch the first 23 episodes because they are so funny and I love a silly plot.
