Curador Prodígio (2019)

Interesting premise, great lead, mediocre writing

The good:
- Zhao Lu Si is always a joy to watch perform. She definitely is the best thing about this show.
- The setting and concept are interesting and not very common. Combining the early 1900s with fantasy has tons of potential for a fun an interesting story
- Focusing on healing magic / skills is interesting. While there is some fighting, this is a rare chinese fantasy that isn't just focused on wuxia or xianxia themes, it develops its own fantasy ideas.

The bad:
- The writing is very bad. Plotlines don't have internal consistency. Scenes make no sense, or are clearly forced just to have a specific story beat whether they work or not.
- The characters are dumb and not very likable. With maybe the exception of the 2 leads, especially the antagonistic characters or just peripheral characters are just really annoying. It goes beyond "they are making trouble for our MCs" and more to a degree of "why is everyone letting them be clearly and overtly evil and then acting like they're not. This gets back into the above point about continuity consistency. Every bad thing someone does is immediately forgotten about for no clear reason.

Bad script

Honestly, I started this drama because of Lusi and Hong Li but the script is a mess. The story showed promised but otherwise a flop. Like,
1. You fall down a clift, you end up in a magical place, kidnapp by a giant bird and accidently eat a magical fruit and you dont have any question about where you are? She isn't even confused
2. You find out that people want you dead because you ate the magical fruit, and you just ignore everything?
3. You are overly friendly with a stranger that saved your life (ok this is relatively normal) and you accept to teach him about the modern world but you try to get rid of him as soon as possible.
I mean, this girl doesn't care at all about anything around her, isn't she curious about the magical world she just discover, the powers she just obtained?

The story overall is an average and boring tbh. The story goes by very slow and gets boring real fast. I've only watched a few couples and unfortunately, I will not be continuing. The character developments aren't there their. There is nothing interesting in the story. Tbh I only checked this drama out because of the same main lead as played by "Love better than Immortal" I recommend "love better than immortality!"
All in all, this drama sin;t terrible, just gets boring fast. There not much excitement to the story development and the chemistry between the two leads is fairly there too. Watch if you're bored as hell.
