The Pursuit of mediocrity
This drama had a very good first half, the village era was really rich and interesting but the moment they left it, it all came tumbling down here are some things i liked in this drama
1. Good chemistry: the kissing scenes in this drama were actually surprising to me they were high quality and actually good. I also loved the leads i feel like a military plotline was wasted on them because they could have had a romance drama and everyone would have loved it. Even the 2nd leads as toxic as they were also served incredible chemistry.
2. The first half of this drama had me hooked binged the first 15 episodes straight it was funny and very engaging.
3. I loved the fact the female lead knew martial arts and was a butcher we barey get to see women use their heads in Chinese dramas so this change of pace really hooked me on this show.
4.Most of the side charcters her sworn brothers,sister , the princess, the restaurant owner and her uncle and aunt were all very well written i loved their scenes and they exhibited a real family very well.
Now for some things i didn't like
1.The boring subplots and the confusing side charcters, maybe it's just me the whole secret princes minister wei and her father being a criminal arcs where severely boring i put all those scenes on 2x because why do we have more than 3 villians? very uncessary why are we adding villans all over the place how do u expect one to keep track with one if u make more than 3?
2.Dragging storyline and plotlines why did she only find out his indentity ep 27? with only 13 episodes left it feels off putting for some users and definitely discourages people who don't like long dramas
3.The whole military plotline tbh, i generally wished it was just a typical revenge or romance historical drama the whole military arc was annoying confusing and just stole the valuable screen time of our couple for almost a good 5 episodes they don't imteract with one another in the name of war and finding her sister it was very annoying.
4. Failure to introduce new characters and keep up with their plots. Why would u introduce a new character in that way? they would just add them in like they were part of the story then forget them for 5 episodes and leave them be? why? The Princess, the grand tutor? if you introduce people midway in the drama u give the impression they are of some kind of importance but when u don't even mention them or remove any kind of scenes with them for 3 episodes or more just to introduce them again if feels like u completely loose the plot.
All in all it's not a bad drama it's certainly ok but i was expecting better but people on this platform have a way of hyping up some dramas then u end
up being disappointed. Definitely try for yourselves
