Jin yi zhi xia

In this special year, I spent more time at home and felt so bored. To kill my time, I found many movies and TV series to watch. One day, it occured to me that some Upers in Bilibili said this is a great one because of its fascinating acting, so I watched it at March. Three months have passed, but I am still crazy about Jialun Ren!!(Or we call his old name Guo Chao, hahaha)

I am writing to contradict the previous one criticising the main female character for overacting. She is doing an over the top character, to highlight her comedy, like a pantomime. If you do not like pantomime so do not watch it. In UK this type of comedy is well regarded. She is really endearing and is contrasting with the male lead character that is so stern. Why demand historic accuracy? What makes it fun is the fantasy behind it. Nobody fly through the air, not even in Imperial China!!!

The script is terribly weak, you will spent episode after episode and it's very repetitive.

Action scenes and fight choreography are decent but then special effects and CGI is just VERY BAD, looks like low budget series to be honest.

Then the acting is not good either, very exaggerated and predictable, I have watched many shows of Tan Songyun and I know she is a great actress so I am inclined to think is just the poor direction and weak script.

Ren Jialun is just as bland as always, no matter what character he is playing he just have 2 facial expressions, is like watching a tree acting, I can't get over this.

I wouldn't spend my time watching this so you should just skip this one. Im surprised it has high ratings.

It is a while long time that I really want to go to write a review for a Chinese drama. Seriously, I know this movie still has a lot of mistakes on it but the acting of the leading roles were impressive me. They makes me believe they are Lu Yi and Yuan Jin Xia from the novel eventhough the film has a lot of changes to compare with novel, however, I love both drama and novel. There are a lot of people criticize that the criminal cases in the drama were not interested at all but this is a wuxia rom-com, the main points focus on the emotional developement of couples. It is a long time I did not see a drama with formula 1-1( there are a lot of drama with 1 man and a lot of women love him or 1 girl but there are many men fall in love with her), no misunderstood between them,... It is what I look for a long time after a lot of complicated dramas.

I really enjoyed this drama. From the beginning to the end. It worth watching.100%
