Sirenas

I have a soft spot for jianghu series where the world exists of amazing martial artists. One that isn't based off fantasy where their abilities are based off colorful magic but one with realistic skills. And this one definitely did not disappoint.

Positives:
-- The action scenes were amazing - unlike many others where you have to accept the cheesiness because the good-looking actors don't have any type of martial arts background at all.
-- The characters were great and the actors made them come to life. They didn't need to dramatize anyone in particular in order to prove a point. Even the children did an amazing job.
-- The ML doesn't have hundreds of drooling females after him. Instead, he had two very mature women who truly loved him and respected each other's love for him.
-- While the plot isn't particularly unique, everything was done well enough where it doesn't matter.

Negatives:
-- My only slight qualm is the pacing could have potentially been picked up a bit. While I completely understand why they wanted to focus on certain relationship developments and conversations, it sometimes took a bit too long.

I'm quite surprised at how little reviewers/ratings there are for this series. It's really tragic that shows with idol actors who have less than average acting skills or shows that spend a ton on production but cheapen out on actual details of the story are the ones that are more popular. Subtle details used to always be the magic of what makes Asian series surpass Western series for me - such as the gift the ML had for one of the females in which she no longer had use for in the end...
