Perfection
This was... I dare say perfection. Even though Xiania might be able to please me too easily. Or I just pick the right ones :>
The plot was exciting from beginning to end.
--> But it often seems (not just with this one but in general) that like 3/4 of it tells one big story (one big enemy everything revovles around and who is then defeated) and the remaining 1/4 feels just like the aftermath with another big finale.
Well, I won't complain, I still loved everything about it.
The acting was superb. I actually have a direct comparison regarding the ML since I just finished "Back From The Brink". Though I had to get warm with the actor in the last one, I loved him in this drama right from the beginning. I don't know if it was the directing or his acting just improved a hundred times over the last 2 years, I don't know. But man, he was perfection. Every move, every expression, every tear, every shiver, every touch. I bought it. I bought it a hundred times.
The FL was great as well. Though I haven't seen her before, I can't complain about her performance at all. She was a perfect match for the ML, they complemented each other. Both of them had such a touching chemistry. I mean, sometimes I started crying without a reason - the scene wasn't even that sad! And I had so much to laugh in the first half of the story with all their bickering and acting within acting and deception game. And then those sensitive moments. And hot scenes - literally and metaphorically! And skinship! And kisses! I think it's enough mentioning it to make my point clear on those ones ;)
Scenery: Beautiful.
CGI: Awesome. I mean, of course you still see that it's computer based. But it was still so well done and implanted into the scenes, that it created a smooth flow of the scenes. Even the green screen scenes were well composed.
The intro: Completely different from the ones I watched so far but even more stunning than previous ones from other Xianxia.
The only mistake I actually made was to start this one right after finishing another drama with the same actor. I forgot that Chinese dramas often dub their shows and the actors rarely stick with the same dubbers. The first moment the ML spoke I realized right away - I had to get used to his new voice the first 2 or 3 episodes actually.
While writing this review, I'm listening to the soundtrack. Warm and touching compositions, that throw me right back into its world.
- Did you notice how often I was forced to use the word "perfect"? :p
