So as much as I love the original TMOPB, and rated it 9, I also skipped a lot of the draggy bits, yet still enchanted by the love story. I can’t say the same about this drama. Around the 30ish episode, I just feel it’s too long, too drawn out unnecessarily, and wonder when it would end! Unlike TMOPB, which I skipped so much, but the bit that I did watched was truly divine, so I forgive it. This one, I barely skip, not because it was so good that I can’t miss, but if I do, I might miss some plot development, and find myself looking at a lot of plot holes, and therefore, it’s just long.... so it gets another minus point for forcing me watching everything, to find out half of the stuffs are pointless! If you are planning to watch this, and feel the same here is the list of characters you can skip their storyline and won’t miss anything: the dark princess, thirteen (that character should not even existed! However Si-ming is such a funny character that you must watch, and because of that, you must stomach thirteen >_> Actually I’ll list who you should watch: the two leads, the 2 main supports, Si-Ming!
While the chemistry between the leads are good, you don’t get a lot of those truly divine sweet moments until like the last 2 episodes =.=?! Their bed scene is as hot as YH and BQ In TMOPB, but it was short and seriously at the second last episode >_>
The drama as a whole was supposed to be 3 arcs, arc 1 = way too long, but not too bad. When Ling Xi committed suicide by throwing herself into Jiu Chen’s sword, the drama got really exciting. However, arc 2 is just long and drawn out, seriously while you are poor and don’t have money for food, yet have this peach tree that gives out so much fruit, yet you don’t even eat just 1 peach!!!! Last I check peach is very fulfilling! You can eat peach for a meal or two if you can’t afford meat/veggies/rice -.- and then arc 3, it likes there is no urgency, seriously, I got to like 57 and feel like it can just end at anytime because there is no build up to anything -.- and the last two episodes, while don’t have a rush feeling, is pretty quick at ending everything, to the point it makes no logical sense!
In TMOPB, They at least explain to you what happened: YH’s soul got shattered and took him sometimes to collect himself back together to reborn. In this? First the two leads are supposed to be in a darkness pit that they can’t be rescued out, but she did get out... 2nd, it seems he got locked inside some sort of black portal, but he somehow managed go get out???? The same portal that supposed to seal the other evil dude??? “Trust me, I’ll get out”. Last 5mins, dude appears, I know it’s a magical series but seriously, this is like The director say we must have a happy ending and making sure it happen no matter what! I’m also so annoyed with how they keep going on about Jiu Chen should not help Ling Xi while she’s human because then it makes everything moot point, yet he continually be down there, messing with it! And also her sister helped the king and in a sense, helped her get out of the first “death”, how is that not messing with fate! This series continually bit its own tongue -.-
And unlike TMOPB, while the second lead couple is decent, it’s not as pulling the heart string as the original. I went into this series without much expectation, I’m not disappointed, I just felt my time is wasted on this series. It feels even more so when I get to the end and don’t know why the series spend time on all these characters that give no real significant to the story! As in, sure, they play a key factor in propelling the story forward, but you do not need to spend more than 30mins in total with them! I’m looking at you, thirteen! By the end of the series, I can confidently say I dislike thirteen the most! What’s an utterly waste of time character that was! Designed to waste your screen time, for absolutely nothing!!!!!!
Would I recommend this series? No... I wanted a tug your heart string series, only about 2-3 times I feel that way while watching it. And if my review feels like a mess, it’s how this series feels to me, a mess! There is no real urgency, no real dramatic moment, apart from when she killed herself, it’s just blah.
