Oh the male eye candy is awesome! AND a great watch.
For visuals, you can't go wrong with Neo Hou. But then OMG there are several more exceedingly good looking guys to come in each episode, and I'm only at ep 8! FL actually plays her role well here--not her fan--tho' she has portrayed characters well in My Journey to You and Blossoms in Adversity but I think she failed in Serendipity, Perfect Match, and Love You Seven Times.
The set design could be more engaging-consider Moonlit Reunion (and not the overly gothic Moonlight Mystique) but I think the CGI is fun-very Disney!
More, now at ep 24.
Sorry nay-sayers, this story is compelling--perhaps revisit it when you have nothing else to watch. Better than Blood River that is going on at same time. Sure it has it's share of reminiscing flashbacks but they do make sense---I've seen worse use of repeat scenes to fill episodes. The life and death commitments between characters is conveyed as being family ties, and I found that it covered for the depth/breadth each pairing goes for each other.
Having binged to the end:
Male costumes are beautiful and Female's hairdos are gorgeous though lost some originality in the battle costumes.
The angst scenes made me cry- was the acting, the OST, the reason? All as I don't always react this way with most dramas. (The #1 tear jerker for me is Royal Nirvana..--every episode was heart wrenching)
The story played out and tied up all storylines of characters well.
Of course it had tropes but they were applied in watch-worthy ways (like how watching how Santa Clause Is Coming To Town Rankin & Bass animated puppet Christmas classic explains Santa's backstory--you keep saying "oh that's the reason;)
Few are likely to read this review since SO MANY positive review as already in and it was memorable so I won't need to check a review to recall this. But had to wrap this review up. Does it change your life? No, but Enjoy!
