Game of Thrones with some Black Magic
Li Qingyang a.k.a Li Si has a knack for making money and making connections in the high circle, having the Crown Prince of Great Shi backing him, but his reputation seems to be worthless in the eyes of Divine Constables Bai Zhenzhu and Meng Rui as they found strings of suspicious things and circumstance surrounding Li, making him a prime suspect for a series of murders going around the Capital. However, the tug of war between the constables and Li ended when Li contributed in a break in the cases Divine Constable Bureau is investigating, with him being accepted as trainee constable in the organization. With Meng Rui and the Chief still being suspicious of Li’s purpose of joining the bureau, Li goes on to solve cases which earns him the divine constable badge, and an entry to Tian Shuang Pavilion of the bureau that holds the answers to question he has been asking since the last 17years.
With two of the actors i root for here, namely Luo Yunxi and Alen Fang, I had nothing but high hopes when I started on this title. But I guess the bar set by Whispers of Fate and A Journey to Love is too high to reach for, as Shadow Punisher seems to be lagging so so far behind.
It’s a different take to see Luo Yunxi and Alan Fang swapping their characters from the two of my most favourite shows of theirs, Luo as a cheery character that fools around, while Fang went on to be the ice cube character instead. I try to like the bromance between Meng Rui and Li Si but somehow i failed to feel the connection. Bai Zhenzhu is as good as not existing at all, I barely feel her presence. And what’s with Jeremy Xu’s dubbing? His deep voice sound so weird here, almost like a failed dub.
The Game of Thrones plot wouldve taken this show further had not for the Liluo black magic conspiracy dragging it down. The action isnt all that impressive either. And i think Luo’s performance being sickly and poisoned in Whispers of Fate looks better than here. His facial expressions whenever the poison strikes didnt look all that convincing and genuine. The actress acting as the Chief also didnt do good, instead of looking formidable and strong, she actually gave off “hey I am just a stand-in,” kind of vibe. I don’t know, this whole plot just feels off somewhere. I enjoyed the fast pace, but I could definitely forget this story real fast. 🤷🏻♀️
