plot twist for the sake of plot twisting..
I'm probably the only person unable to appreciate this drama.
is probably all on my side but I just can't.
This drama looks perfect on paper but I just can't get into it and I don't know why.
There is everything :Good actors, ,Nice costumes ,Good fighting scenes ,A decent looking plot, nice visuals, good CGI.
But I just can't feel involved.
The first episodes are basically an Agatha Christie story. Our protagonists find themselves in a house and have to solve a mystery.
Each of them is basically lying or conceiving their identity which also serves as a "plot" twist I guess.
Something that is putting me off is the fact that they try too hard to be cool and "modern".
"Modern" sounding music is nothing knew to xianxia but this techno music piercing my ears in fighting scenes is really putting me off.
They also really push about the Fox demons being sexually alluding. We get it.
So far the only scene I really liked was the one where our "Pinocchio" finds out he's not a real boy.
Man, that scene was heart wrenching.
Maybe I am still in my mourning period after finishing "till the end of the moon"😅 and need to take a break.
New characters keep spawning from nowhere bringing along their somber backstory and adding some "mystery" and it's starting to be irritating.
So far I'm on episode 12, trapped in this "catching the stone" timeline which looks like an escamotage to only further push the romance.
Maybe I'm bored because there is no real sense of urgency. Technically nobody is really aware about what the dragon god wants, there is no danger. These people are all demon hunters but we never see The demons outside the main cast do anything. We went basically no where. So far we saw the first house, the sect, the moon and this phantasy world.
These " inside the stone" episodes are boring, complicated and sometimes non sensical.
I'm done. Dropping this on episode 15.
