WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE (AND IT HASN'T WORKED)
The initial episode(s) were fun to watch, the cast looked promising but as it went on you start to notice the story lacks depth, the main cast e.g Joseph Zeng is not allowed enough screen-time to shine. You can tell he has the most interesting and engaging story but the drama makes no effort to pounce on that. As for the rest of them; the girls really started to frustrate with the constant looking into the camera and all the weird antics, it just wasn't for me. The other ML (Dragon deity guy) is all about looks and funnily enough, his other character (Ji Ling) is arguably the funniest guy in the entire drama and it very creative and fun to watch in that role. The cinematography and aesthetics of the drama are what stand out but nothing else of substance. Another thing that gets unbearable very quickly is the constant music anytime someone powerful appears in a scene or just fight scenes in general (and I mean all of them). I couldn't stand it. This drama is so similar to Fangs of Fortune in many ways in terms of the constant music at the slightest thing, aesthetic-based acting, poor story - and yeah we'll see how long till I can't take it anymore
