So, spoilers will follow:

So, this came up in my youtube recommends, probably because I've been binging on C-drama ever since I ran out of Untamed episodes to watch. This is the summary:
"Jade Dynasty : After the massacre of his village, Zhang Xiaofan is taken in by the Qing Yun Sect where he begins his journey of cultivation. When he finds out the truth behind the deaths of his parents, he succumbs to his rage and demonic tendencies and becomes the enemy of Qing Yun Sect."

What it doesn't say is that this "he succumbs to his rage and demonic tendencies and becomes the enemy of Qing Yun Sect" happens in the last 5-10 minutes. No, really. NO REALLY.

Before that we have a lot of messing about which is endlessly confusing and kind or frustrating. I mean, why doesn't Zhang Xiaofan get better at cultivating over ten years? Were they just using him as a male Cinderella type or was that just a red-herring? Also, what's with "demonic tendencies"? AFAIK, he found a stick and bled near it - it was kind of an accident.

I honestly can't say anything about the acting - that was good throughout, and if at times seemed over the top, well that was the character.

Pacing was terrible - alternately nothing happening and then everything happening at once - as I've said, in the last ten minutes. That's kind of what happens when you try to compress a 50 or so episode series into a movie which isn't even 2 hours long.
