LOVED IT
I personally was drawn to this drama because of Zhao Lusi. First episode gave me a strong sense of anticipation and immediately got me invested in the Main Leads characters.
What I found a bit off putting was Lusi’s portrayal of A Yin. I love her, don’t get me wrong but I’m not a big fan of childlike acting ( understand that A Yin was in fact a newly hatched Water Beast, therefore it made sense why her character had to be portrayed as so ).
The friendship in this series is one that you can’t miss. Four young people with very special identities and responsibilities joining hands to bring peace and justice. A Jin, A Yin , A Jiu .. I want to know why they didn’t name Yan Shuang , A Shu or something similar lol. But that’s irrelevant, I just loved how they have nicknames for each other. The loyalty portrayed and the love between friends was one of the qualities of this drama that drew me into it more. I enjoyed watching the teamwork between all four of them.
The villains in this series did their roles quite well I would say. I did hate them all to the point where had to take a break because they stressed me out lol. But nothing makes up for a bad villains deeds more than an act of righteousness which was portrayed by one of the villains near the end. I thought that was touching, it still doesn’t erase the deeds this villain committed because I honestly hated this particular villain a lot, but it was touching to see a positive change.
The romance in this drama between the Male Leads is bittersweet. Depending on your interests when it comes to drama romance, I personally think they deserved more romance considering all that happened between them from the start to end. They faced so many hardships together, challenging both their strengths and their love. I was disappointed in the male lead for his choice of action leading to a very tragic loss, and I was satisfied to see him face the consequences of it lol. But then when the female lead returned the favor, I felt terrible for the male lead. But they still loved each other, you’ll want to cry and be mad seeing them like that lol.
The ending for me was neither happy nor sad. It just depends on how you wished the ending to be and your definition of happy endings. I do believe they should’ve been given more screen time with the last scene to kind of allow the viewers to recover from the tragedies that led up to that point lol.
Overall though, it was worth my time.
