Okay so I haven't written reviews for any dramas in the past two years because I have dropped more dramas than I have completed. And the few I somehow managed to finish left me little to no impact, in other words forgetful.
This is one of the best dramas I have watched in a while, not in while but it's definitely going in my top3. I actually waited till it finished airing cause I like binge watching more than waiting every week, which is a torture
Firstly, I wasn't into it in the first two episodes, but the cast got my attention specially xiao zhan.
Then the moment I reached episode 6-7, something changed and I found myself totally and completely into it. I finished the drama in three and half days. Watching 12-14 episodes everyday.
The story only keeps getting better and better, there's no filler episodes or drag at any point, it's not slow paced or fast paced.
Secondly, I love the underlying theme... That was constant throughout the whole series. The conflict between moralities, individual and societal, the conflict between conscience.. Individual and collective. How the crowd follows whoever is the leader without having to form their own mind and opinion, and whoever contradicts is termed evil , the selfishness of the so called leaders, looking for a scapegoat to blame. Even though this is fiction, this theme very much applies to the present world.
Thirdly, the characters there's no absolute black and white. I love how they portrait the grey characters.
And my favourite is obviously wei wu xian, who I can't stop thinking about ever since I started watching this.
Fourthly, loved the acting. My only problem, that too just a little, was the person taking the role of wen qing. I haven't read the novel so I don't know how she is supposed to be. But there were times I couldn't feel what she's trying to convey.
Other than that, the acting were pretty fantastic. Xiao zhan and Wang yi bo were so so good. The chemistry between the cast was also really good.
The soundtracks are pretty amazing too.
As for rewatch value, I'm gonna go back and watch it again. And I think that's the only way I can somehow get over it
Overall, amazing drama. I feel so satisfied watching it. I laughed, I cried. I had an emotional roller-coaster ride. There wasn't a moment that I wanted to skip. Applause to the writer and actors.
