I got bored half way trough and dropped this. Legend of fei 2.0, just with two ML instead of FL/ML. The same premise (unsurprising, since it's the same author) and the exact same problems, as in the main storyline is boring, you get bombarded with a bunch of overdramatic elderly characters that die pretty soon after. But since there's no introduction, you don't really care about them.
Main characters seem almost like a side story as the plot does not actually revolve around them and all they do is wander around and talk, talk, talk some more.
The chemistry is nonexistent. Dramatic moments have no impact, because there's no built up or base for them. Those two work as friends, but I don't see anything that would turn this into a b/romance. Which would not be a problem, if said bromance was not pushed into my face at every turn. 5 eps in and they are soulmates *facepalm* On what basis?
Also, that is of course very subjective, but the costumes are horrible. Both of them look pretty much ridiculous. Wen Kexin looks like he's a part of a circus and Zhou Zishu like he run out right after taking a bath.
The only part I had no problem with is acting. I liked ZZH's stoic and subtle acting and GJ did a good job on his character as well. But unfortunately, good acting can't save a boring story.
I probably would have finished it on fast forward, if not for the Legend of Fei. I have already wasted a lot of time on one boring drama of the same caliber, I don't want to waste more.
