Qing Luo (2021)

Meh

I don't begrudge the actors' need to earn money while honing their craft which is what most of these bread-and-butter dramas are basically good for. Qing Luo is extremely basic with a story that loses its plot process a few too many times. I liked the male lead, Liu Xue Yi, who I've seen in other bigger-budget dramas like Legend of the Dragon Pearl and Blood of Youth. He's extremely good looking but sadly he's never really gotten a meaty role that could have propelled him to the level of someone like Yang Yang who has a similar skill set. I don't know if it's his management agency who are derelict in their duties or whether he hasn't just had the luck to be picked for better roles. In any event, his performance here was sorta sweet but unmemorable.

The leading lady, Wang Zi Wei, on the other hand, has quite a few dramas where she's played mostly evil or unlikeable characters and to see her play a more harmonious role in QL was quite jarring. This is the risk inherent in playing such roles.

As for the plot, I found it to be a bit run-of-the-mill with no real big reveal or twist. The villains were also rather obvious and once our leads returned to the capital it became a game of whack-a-mole or should I say, whack-an-illness and another would immediately rear its head. I was bored

What Plot?

This has to be the most asinine of asinine kitchen sink Chinese costume melodramas ever made. No plot, no character development. It's the usual one time this character gets sick and is healed, another character gets ill and is healed ad nauseum. And that shitty boy with his asshole pet that goes around biting people, but we're supposed to pretend like it's cute that he mother raised him as a manipulative douch-bag.

Anyway, if you like kitchen sink Chinese costume melodramas that go on forever with absolutely no plot and vacuous characters, then you'll love this. If you have higher standards, just skip it.

The quest of who nan nan's daddy is!

Dude, cant stand this drama anymore. It's only 24 episodes and i'm on ep 11 and find it boring.

Like the female lead is cool because she has the name of ghost healer, basically she is a doctor who can cure strange diseases. She has but doesnt remember who her child's father is. This is because she drown in water but was saved by her now good friend. The male lead has high status, a general of some sort. He gets to know the female lead and he falls in love with her. Female lead is a little hesitant because her son doesnt want any men around the mother only the dad. There are some cute kissing scenes but besides the fact they still havent made much progress about finding out who the dad is. Also the evil characters are annoying. The princess who is in love with the male lead and keeps trying to get the ghost healer in jail. Another evil character is the ex husband of the female lead. He doesnt like the male lead and doesnt want him to have more higher power than him...

Honestly putting this drama on hold most likely dropping it!
