The plot was wasted on the male lead . Actually, he should've been the villian.
This drama had everything, costumes, cgi, beautiful people, but the main couple just fell flat for me.
It was fine overall, but for some reason, I started getting bored of the main couple halfway through. It took me weeks to finish this one. The female lead started off so strong as her warrior identity, but then she spent most of the show weak and sick, which got tiring to watch (so many dramas use this same trope).
. And when the leads kept lying to each other and breaking up over and over, I was just like: girl, can we not? There was no reason for them to like each other..
NOW imagine how much better this drama would have been if 2nd male lead(Situ Ling) was the lead, and she found out he was the boy from the past secretly protecting her. Then they tried to find the cure together for her heavenly grief while getting rid of his evil father hand in hand. The plot was so boring with Ji Bozai. And if you think about it, Ji bozai had all the qualities to be the villain more than the 2nd male lead. Without spoiling the end, Ji bozai finds out a fact about his master that would've been a perfect reason for him to turn evil. He also grew up abandoned in the Abyss as a slave, so he had all this hatred that a villain would have.
The special effects and side characters were great. I really liked the princess reconciling with her childhood crush.
I didn't read the book but if it was similar to the show, then I don't think i would've liked the book. I just feel like Situ ling could have done way more for the story than Ji bozai did. To be honest i would never watch this again so I'm gonna leave it at a 6.
