Missing the magic of the ML in Untamed
Felt like just another drama with nice cinematography, slow pacing but decent storytelling.
Perhaps it was his character that needed to show he was cool, collected and calculating that didn’t speak to me the same way he did in Untamed where his range of emotions from cheeky to tortured is still fresh in my memory to this day.
Strange that the Emperor would let his hostage princess run Zhen Tower - would have liked an explanation for that. Loved the way his master looked out for him till the end. The twist on the 3rd enemy was good for me but the justification of why this enemy wanted to rule the world was lacking - just because he came from a poor background and was bullied? Wasn’t there a better way to unite the whole world without sacrificing citizens of another country? Shouldn’t he have more empathy since he had it tougher growing up?
Perhaps I’ve become more cynical after watching countless dramas but during the scene when hundreds of innocent soldiers were getting killed because of the ML’s plan, I wondered what justifies his revenge for the 14 people of his family. Is his revenge so important that he can easily orchestrate the spilling of innocent blood? (Evil general got rescued from prison by his generals who killed lots of innocent guards AND they went on to kill soldiers guarding the city… all planned by the ML who used another enemy to make this move)
