Dance of the Sky (2020)

Give it a chance

I am glad I gave a chance to this drama and I liked it. The acting was great. The leads weren't awkward with acting like some other annoying characters in other dramas. The story was great but there were some scenes I just questioned and a few towards the end were rushed but I overlooked it because I generally liked the drama and finished it in just over 2 days. If the writers, producers and directors had touched up a bit more on some scenes, I mave have given it a 9 or more stars but I give it 8.5 stars which is still good. I was hesitant to try it but give it a go.

love the ost for this drama

ok first of, this drama in my humble opinion has a soundtrack that really can pull at my heart string , even though i had to find a translated version of the lyric to fully understand the lyric.
The drama may have some problem in plot and editing but i think it affected at a minimal level, because majority towards the end many of the questions has been answered. I think the only thing they forgot or the editing department was in a rush or for some reason the Yunlao's master aka the spirit sword just vanishes with no explanations.

I know with some holes here and there in this drama but this is what happens when a story that has many chapters and plots is being cramped into less than 30 episodes. Overall, it was enjoyable to watch.

28 ep not enough!

Title - i cant relate with the title...and not that eye catching either.

Story
- the first arc was interesting as it opened up the mission of the FL
- expecting something more to happen, additional side story or enhancement or even extra scenes of every scene... It was like the editing was made hastily
- final arc is predictable in the most comforting way
- tbh, thr climax didnt sustain well and hence finding it hard to wrap up the already loose end

Character
- FL grew on me throughout the story. Her acting is on point and relatable especially the parting scene in mystic land. But i do think, youlian could have been more mesmerising if the character built in stronger
- ML didnt get sufficient character growth and insight. Most of the time, the acting that carry the plot...i dont follow him after the passing of his dad. His love towards the FL most of the time felt too extraordinary to root for. It was contradicting with the part wher he accused her as murderer... Conflicts were thrown left and right but sadly it wasnt maintain
- the second pairing yunshan and XFM is earthily adorable.
- prince mu.... I tot he died but nevermind

Flow
- the flow is actually there, as in i can understand before and after but sadly not by heart. The salient point is missing which could imprint a better picture, ie the driving force of revenge/ protect, characters relationship especially ML and lord Zi... it as if i kinda knew lord zi is trying his best to compensate his wrongdoings but it was so raw...not convinced with the forgiveness scenes.

The plot itself had a huge potential for development. Acting are the driven force most of the time. Wishes more supplement scenes though.

But all in all, i completed this drama. And maybe would rewatch it again.

Recommended to watch

I wish prince MU and Miss Su a happy ending. Hate the Li xuan,s character even he is male lead. I hope writer do a few unexpected things to make the drama unique but not as usual happy ending like other dramas. overall storyline is good and reasonable. Drama contains killing which makes it more amusing. acting also good. music is ok. drama also contain some solid comedy scenes.I feel like the characters in this drama lack common sense...

Li Xuan she’s of your kind
Li Xuan finds out she’s the saintess and doesn’t think back on the moment the most knowledgeable man told him this... like they don’t even try to connect dots
Hope the ending would be same as from the novel and Li Xuan chooses the long weier over su youlian
prince mu looks so good in black ;
Overall
Suggested overall: 8.5

Waste of time

With the exception of Yanxi Palace and Royal Feast, Xu Kai has never been able to keep my interest long enough to finish any of his dramas. There’s now a list of dropped or on-hold dramas with him as headliner and after dropping Dance of The Sky Empire, I finally realized the reason. He’s so bloody unserious and chooses to play the same or similar character every single time. Likewise his acting skills are below those other actors who are his peers. Now, this is a subjective experience so please hold the steak knives.

Undoubtedly he’s easy on the eyes which is why he has a huge fan base; conversely, he has a huge fan base which is why he, as an actor, will continue to get jobs despite lacking the acting chops.

This drama was a colossal disappointment.

Xu Kai's main character Li Xuan, I can't say enough about Xu Kai, I have already said a lot in his previous dramas. I just love him! Wu Jia Yi's main character Su You Lian is Not my first time seeing her either. I love how Su You Lian caused so much trouble and fell in love at the same time. I love the strong woman character she played. I love seeing this actress. Zhou Jun Chao support plays the character, Xiao Feng Ming, wow did he play one heck of a mean demon for being a puppet? I was impressed. Li Jun Chen who played Yu Feng Mu Lord have mercy, I couldn't keep my eyes off his eyes. What beautiful eyes! wow. His acting was very good and calm.

The storyline was awesome. The visuals were phenomenal! I love the underwater storyline. I love the martial arts and the fight scenes with all the fantasies of magic. Sometimes I wish we lived in that type of world. The story writer to great in this storyline. All the actresses/actors, stand-ins, and extras made this story happen. Thanks to all the production team, makeup, costumes, and structure sets... THANK YOU!

Mediocre Plot, Mediocre Chemistry Acting

Summary: I’ve seen the main actors in Military Arsenal and I know how they act. If you haven’t watched many costume fantasy story, then you will like it. It’s a spin off of the same old plot from Fuyao, othe school academy theme and hidden identities.
I’m giving up because the main girl cannot project well on screen. No wonder the cover photo shoot for this drama looks odd as well.
Pro:
- the graphics is way better now that in the early 2010-2018.
- story is predictable and ok

Cons:
- if you have seen the cover for the drama, then it does show the non-existent chemistry between the main characters.
- I don’t know if the main girl wants to be like the Sweet Liar drama type of girl or Fuyao/Peach Blossom type. Her facial expression is just so-so. It is not convincing at all. She did project well as a sophisticated rich girl at the Arsenal drama. With this drama, there is just that blank emotion. She was trying though.
- main actor is good.
- supporting roles were mediocre as well. Who casted these?
