?? My Impression :
? This drama is a? new genre for me by all means ! I am not into manga, anime or fantasy dramas at all !! First 4 episodes were like a new experience to me ! couldn’t understand the story or adapt ?to its flow ! but by finishing ep 5, something like a magic has happened ! The story became so clear & each character too has became so defined ! at that moment I started to be hooked to the drama & kept watching all the episodes back to back & spent literally sleepless nights to do that ! I have read some reviews about this drama but I believe their disappointment because they read the novel or the manga so surely they couldn’t help but to keep comparing things ! Regarding the acting; though I am a big Yang Yang fan but I agree he needs to improve his acting more. Yet honesty I believe that he did already
a good job???????? it’s not his fault that the character required him to pl?ay the immature playful guy on the first 20s episode ! I think he did a great in portraying his character, if anyone interested to see Yang Yang acting as a mature adult, please go & watch him slaying these roles on Love O2O & the whirlwind girl but don’t blame the actor for conveying well the immaturity of his character ! About the story itself, it was an enjoyable journey for me. I liked how Lin Dong character has been developed over the episodes. In my opinion the flow pace was quite adequate, neither rushed nor slow ! Adding to that the fact that this drama has almost everything! Comic scenes, melodrama, fantasy, adventure, youth , friendship, brotherhood, family, loyalty, experiencing first love & true love, mentor - mentee relationship & action. Also the cinematography is so perfect ????????????????! for me each episode was like watching a movie! the quality of th?e effects? wer?e re?ally great, it’s indeed a high quality fantasy dram??a ?. The OSTs too were great & so wonderful.
?? My feedback & recommendation about this drama:
This basically will be divided into 4 categories!
1- If you are a Yang Yang fan; just proceed & watch it without any hesitation, surely you would love it ???????? It’s great to see a total new side of him portraying an adorable character like Lin Dong who is carefree kid, mischievous, playful & cheerful!
2- If you are a fan of fantasy drama, also would recommend you to check out this one because I believe it’s a high quality fantasy drama & deserves a chance to be checked out.
3- If you are not fan of either this genre nor Yang Yang, still would recommend you to watch it & give it a try at least till finishing ep 5, where everything becomes so clear, so you can have a better chance of deciding wisely whether to continue or drop it out though I believe you may like it just like me who have watched this genre for the first time ever yet have loved it ????
4- Here is the critical category! Those who have read the novel or the drama ! you probably would be disappointed because the drama didn’t take after the novel or the manga on their details specially about the main lead character traits ! I can understand your disappointment but maybe you would enjoy it if you decided to watch it without concerning so much over these differences !
