After several attempts and many months, I managed to finish this drama. The promise of excellent romance and awesome leads was what attracted me and was ultimately the reason to watch this. I am not sure how this drama was because it was like watching a film project with no direction, aim and conclusion.
STORY:
I think the foundation of the story was fine, but executed weakly. They had some ideas strung together and made it into an extended drama. I wouldn't say there was no content, but seems like it was an amalgamation of ideas from several writers. There is no consistency to the plot. There are some exciting moments, some random ones, leads who get lost again and again and some inconsistent as heck villains.
CHARACTERS:
This is where the drama suffers. Forget about the plot, it's like the writers themselves didn't know what they were aiming to show and tell. The only consistent thing I could find was the male lead's devotion to our female lead. There were some okay supporting characters but ultimately none of them ended up being memorable for me. The villains were gullible and not threatening enough. The lore was poor, the solutions to the problems were not satisfactory and we are just left with a confused plot and set of characters. The main leads are unrecognizable by the end and lose all spark and essence they had in the beginning.
ROMANCE / ACTING:
I'm only going to mention the awesome chemistry between Bai Lu and Xu Kai. Both don't need words because their stares are enough to fill up the screen and make me fluttery. Their kisses were nice and the devotion the male lead shows towards the female lead was commendable. The female lead grows but ends up becoming a damsel in distress and the male leads ends up becoming a doormat. There was no growth there, however the leads are AWESOME actors. They hard carried the entire mess of this drama and gave me a reason to devote my time and special hours.
OST:
The lead song is quite nice. I don't remember much of the other music in the drama.
REWATCH VALUE:
Yes to Bai Lu- Xu Kai and nah to everything else.
OVERALL:
I don't think I would recommend this drama unless you happen to love the leads like I do. I wouldn't say it was a horrible drama because there were moments I enjoyed the action. The idea was there but even after the drama is over, I feel like I want to know more and see more. I didn't get what I was hoping for and am not sure what should've been done properly because I can only think of so many things that DIDN'T go right.
