The Legend of the Monster (2016)

Monsters (vampires, werewolves, etc)

Story: The first episode feels like I landed right into battle scenes. I had no clue what's going on. The narration helped. There was a lot of action and fighting scenes. The drama slaughter tons of people. They don't care about the "other" people; their goal is to only save "Sun Qian". LOL. The ending was unexpected. I was hoping for Liu Di x Sun Qian pairing since he waited and watched over her for 700 years but that didn't happened. There was bits of character development for the three leads but it was not enough. There is only slight romance and that was extinguished at the end. The story feels like Power Ranger/Kamen Rider/Pokemon/Detective Conan type of shows where every one/two episodes focus on a problem that the leads need to solve in addition to continue on with the major plot.

I find it funny that the bad guy is an Armadillo spirit (wondering if it's translation error)

Acting:
Although the leads didn't have much character development, I like leads especially the female.
This drama has a lot of fighting scenes, but does not have good ones. I notice that the fighting scenes are intentionally slow and poorly chorographed. I usually tried to avoid looking at the dead victim(s) because I don't want to see them breathing. If I catch one of them breathing, it ruins the drama for me. Unfortunately at some part where they show dead/killed victim(s), I saw chest movements.

Music: Meh. Where I watched the drama did not have the opening song.

Rewatch: I would not rewatch this. I don't tend to rewatch dramas because I still have others to watch on my list.
