hmm... did it counterattack
to be honest, i think this show was just so overhyped and also the main leads, which is okay each their own preferences— i just don't really see the chemistry between the two male leads. although, i do commend tian xuning's acting skills because the dude can act so props to that.the story of the two main characters were skippable at best and didn't really caught my interest that much as i wanted to and i did read the novel of which was based on this series in it's original language. the only interesting arc for me in this show was the xiaoshuai and wang shou arc which were shown in Ep. 10 and ownwards— now it didn't give me the expectation that i wanted but it did have the elements that was needed so it was not really that disappointing for me, the only down side was it was rushed.
i know it is the first acting gig of liu xuancheng (xiaoshuai) and he was lacking in some episodes but his eyes were expressive and also showing emotions which is great, with just the right amount of acting workshop if he really loves his craft and honed that talent of his, i believe he could go far. the downside is really his dubber, it just didn't really show the emotions that the actor was showing and that thicked me off so bad.
i also enjoyed the chemistry xuancheng had with zhan xuan — albeit they lack of screentime in this series. these two actors, although, they are just the second leads looked so natural in a way that you just can't keep your eyes off them and just really wants to know more of their story and the show just did not deliver that much of, which was totally disappointing.
now would i watch this show again? it really depends on my mood, but i'd rather just watch the cut scenes at most if i wanted to.
