Huge disappointment.
first half of the story is fine to watch, the FL actress did a stellar job of playing two distinct people. CGI is very nice for this kind of drama.
ML is very stiff and I have seen other people be happy with his acting but to me he was extremely bland and didn't emote much. to be honest he could be replaced by any other actor and it wouldn't make a difference. FL is something else, very well acted.
there's a charming cast of side characters that are very enjoyable to watch. it starts very interesting with the grey ML and wild and free FL. the resurrection is done so well.
but then in the middle we hit the amnesia arc and it's as if they fired all the writing staff and had chatgpt write the rest. it makes no sense and becomes so annoying. like during the amnesia for 5 straight episodes the ML keeps belittling the FL, her only value is that she cooks for him like a servant and he keeps causing her of being a slut to boot. guess it's the new romantic standard. but the worst is how they completely flattened his character. they gave him traits he never had before eg wanting to show off luxury and wealth. He used to be very smart and scheming, now he is an absolute idiot incapable of any good planning just because he forgot his love? and the plot literally makes no sense anymore.
To the point where one character is pregnant, which is a very important plot... and then they forget she was pregnant for the rest of the story.
besides they made all the evil characters so boring, simply greedy and whiny as a viewer you really don't care to listen to their stories, and none of them face any consequences of their actions, which makes the story very unsatisfying.
what however completely killed this story for me was the fact the main couple, after all the scheming, planning, multiple lives- could do anything to the real bad guy and it had to be the Heavens that killed him.
so what was this story even for???
I started this series expecting a solid 8/10 out of it, from the amnesia arc I rated it 1/10.
there's no fight choreography just those really funny series of still shots in different poses.
What I did appreciate was their use of magic. they used it for everything and it made for a great immersion in the magical world.
considering the good beginning and potential, ultimately I gave it 4,5, because the second half is really only watchable on fast forward.
I will absolutely never rewatch it, there is no rewatch value for this because of the lousy writing.
