Acting Matters A LOT
I was in a drama slump and Melody of Golden Age has somehow reignited my gusto for cdramas once again. From watching clips on tikt0k to binge watching several episodes a day...this one got me really hooked.
I've had my reservations with this being an mgtv drama and I was right; hence the headline of this review. The leads' acting was truly what got me hooked. The first few episodes were very promising I had to watch in a different site to fully appreciate the subs lol.
Story - typical investigation trope where the investigator (FL) is given a ridiculous amount of plot armor. Some cases were a bit much for me and sometimes I felt like they were doing too much for minor things. Their backstory, especially the ML's was very engaging and DYX hard carried for the most part. One of his best characters to date in my opinion.
Acting - I haven't been disappointed with any DYX performance yet and I'm confident it stays that way. His portrayal of Shen Du was spot on and if I weren't a fan of his I'd definitely have an impression of him being a huge guy with the way he carried himself in the drama. His pain, hatred, affectionate and happiness... I felt it all through my phone screen. As for DEX, this is the 2nd drama of hers I've seen and I'm happy to see another promising actress. She's naturally charming and has one of the prettiest eyes I've seen on c-ent. She also conveys her emotions well, it's just that her character here, Yan Xing, can be too overbearing sometimes.
OST - For me, OSTs matter a lot whether I enjoy a scene or not. I'm absolutely in love with MOGA's OSTs. I think they're edited well during scenes and just affects me the right way. Absolutely in love with DYX and DEX duet.
Overall, it doesn't have a high rewatch value for me. I won't miss the story but the characters have definitely left an impression on me because of how much I enjoyed them. The leads' effective acting mattered a lot in keeping me hooked until the end. I loved the full commitment in every scene. Shen Du was such an interesting character, definitely something I'd remember DYX for.
