Arguably A Good Series So Far....
This is the 2nd time I watched Darren Chen's drama, cause the 1st one was Meteor Garden back in 2018. Back then I didn't know he's of Taiwanese descent. Anyway, here's my review for this drama:
STORY
Fortunately for me, I found this series quite enjoyable to watch since the story pacing is just the right amount of speed compared to others. I'm quite contented with the love story line as it showcased the portrayal of true love between the leads.
I also like the fact that they were able to show a full story about Duanmu's past 1000 years ago and kinda made it like a separate story within the drama. If there's anything I would've wished they did, was to at least show other deities too not residing in Penglai, but from the divine palace as well. Would've been great if the writer got Jiang Wen Qing punished by the higher gods in the end for trespassing in the heavens and wreaking havoc among the three realms. I also didn't like how they made the antagonist too powerful enough to suppress Penglai - which I believe btw, was not really the main heavenly court itself. They claimed in the story that Yang Jiang, along with Duanmu Cui were the pioneer co-creators of the world, which is a mistake in the plot. Cause even if its a fantasy story, no one will buy the idea. How can they be creators when they only existed a thousand years ago in a complete civilization of humans, and during that time, Penglai already existed along with the other deities? Totally unrelated to the idea of world creation.
ACTING / CAST
Acting is on point and I'd have to commend Darren's ability to show the appropriate emotions and gestures all throughout the drama. I liked his expressions when he started to notice Duanmu's attempt to hide herself and her true emotions from him, it brought me giggles... haha.... I sooooo liked Zhang Yi Shang, she suits the role perfectly. Thank the heavens she's not like the other chinese actresses that sounded overly demure as a female lead. Always gives me the cringe when they look , act, and sound too girly. So far, no negative feedback on the other casts since they were able to give justice on their roles.
MUSIC
It so epic, I loved it !!!!!
REWATCH VALUE
Hmmm, not bad to see this again if I have the time. But I'd only see my favorite episodes.
OVERALL
I can say that for me its not totally a bad drama. It kept me entertained so far and I like the fair amount of love, loyalty , and friendship lessons from it. I was kinda surprised I enjoyed the drama. Its just that, I felt there was no need to make the godfather escape the Abyss and come back in the story again. His wickedness should have ended when he got trapped in the past. Seemed to me that the series dragged on for too long just because of it. Btw, Wengu is so cute.
