I like period dramas and Xu Kai have done well in previous ones I have seen. He seems to be doing well in this kne too and i was enjoying it until the episode that their romance started.
It is starting to be too ttpical for most period dramas to have a hero who is in persuit of a goal and then romance starts. Then theres a friend or colleague that becomes a rival and end up being an enemy. I guess i just watched too many of this same plot back to back that now this series became the straw that broke the camels back for me.
Can someone produce a period series wherein the romance is just 25% of the series and the rest focused on achieving goals and dreams?
The female lead has a cold demeanor, Xu Kai's character has a cold demeanor. The brother of Xu Kai seems important but his story is going to slow.
The romance started before even having a slight explanation of where Xu Kai got his exemplary power. Yes his mother is a transcendent but his father is a regular joe. What made his more powerful than the others who has both parents as transcendent? The lead female acting at a point looks like shes just doing the job and her heart isnt into the role. It may just be me.
Other characters are good and enjoyable. Seriously the romance starting and i just lost interest.
My review is just my feelings and thoughts. I enourage all to watch it because it seems good. If you are not sick of the typical plot of hero after pursuit then starts a romance with a friend turning into an enemy because of a girl, then this is a good one to watch for you.
Production is good, costumes/wardrobe is good, I am not too crazt of the soundtrack tho, characters are good.
