Heavy Sweetness, Ash-like Frost (2018)

No veo muchos dramas chinos, sobre todo porque la cantidad de capítulos puede conmigo, así que a este llegué de casualidad. Lo puse prácticamente sin querer en Netflix, porque tenía un rato y nada que ver, y al final liquidé los 63 capítulos en 3 días.
Es el primer drama chino de este tipo (wuxia) que veo, y no es mucho mi estilo la verdad. Pero engancha, y mucho. La historia está bien, porque permite ver cómo van cambiando los personajes principales. Y las tramas están bien hiladas las unas con las otras. De hecho hay cosas que suceden, y no están muy explicadas, y te parece que te vas a quedar sin saber por qué son así, pero en algún momento terminas sabiendo qué pasó. Esa es una de las cosas que más me impresionó, que se tuviesen en cuenta ciertos detalles cuando quizás habían pasado más de 20 capítulos entre uno y otro.
Un punto que en principio no me gustó mucho es la historia secundaria de Liu Ying y Mu Ci, pero tengo que admitir que luego me pareció bonita, aunque no le viese sentido al principio. Y sin duda, uno de los mejores puntos de esta serie (y de muchas otras asiáticas) es el hecho de que haya algún tipo de "retribución", que lo que "siembras lo vas a recoger" como pasa con Sui He... y aunque en otras críticas algunos decía que a Run Yu no le pasa, yo si que creo que el karma le pasa factura.
En cuanto a la actuación, aunque los dos personajes principales me han gustado mucho (más que nada Jin Mi en la primera parte como inocente hada y buena médico en la segunda parte, y Xu Feng en la última parte atormentado y un poco maquiavélico), pero sin duda, creo que me quedo con la actuación de Leo Lio como Run Yu, sobretodo cuando interpreta a Lord Pu Chi.
Música: quizás un poco repetitiva, no lo dudo, pero está chula y va bien con la trama de la historia (sobre todo cuando has leído lo que dicen las letras de las canciones)
Es posible que vuelva a verla, ya vi los últimos diez capítulos justo después de terminarla, así que me imagino que teniéndola en Netflix, volveré a ella alguna que otra vez.
Aunque sean muchos capítulos, engancha y vale la pena.

Are you bored of watching boring storylines, actors that can’t act, bad cgi, not that great of a costume/design, and most importantly no chemistry, well no need to look anywhere else this show is it, it has none of the factors above, Yay! (:

Plot: You know how most shows are pretty boring in the beginning and only gets interesting around ep15 or more, well HSALF it’s amazing it’ll hook you in right from the 1st ep. it’s very comical but then you have to get your tissues ready since ALL of your emotions will be brought out you’ll get happy, sad/heartbroken, frustrated, anxious and last of all it’ll make you crave for more on what’s happening next. I love how they developed all charcters from how they were in the beginning to their personality towards the end, everyone changed significantly for the better or worse. Also the cgi and costumes were so well done that I’m just so amazed by it especially on ep61 the war scene just blew me away. Okay adding one last thing after finishing the show was I thought we were free from the demon princess but no she still got to appear for the last 2eps. Other than the demons princess thing it ended really well and was so emotional as JM vanished into air.

Acting: Hmmm what’s the word... ahhh it’s phenomenally amazing! If you watch it like seriously the acting will blow you away. I was skeptical if the casts in here can bring the charcters to life since it ain’t a easy task to do all the facial expressions and feelings in here. The leads had such an out of the world chemistry they’re literally the Perfect couple YZxDL. The acting here is so natural nothing felt forced or off.
YZ just stole my heart in this show she perfected her role so well and I’m glad that she was the one who played JM I don’t think anyone else can perfect the naiveness and pain the way she did. She’s the most pitiful charcter out of all like seriously she is, watch it and you’ll know. The cast was just perfect I’m sure some people will say that others can do better but like seriously who can other than this amazing cast from this amazing show?

Music: it’s gooood, especially Sa Ding Ding’s version it was just so emotional to just listen to it. Oh boy when it was played in the show I literally got goosebumps. All the other ost were so good that I had to search them all up and added it to my playlist. Also it’s so cool that one of the version the song were sung by the leads Yang Zi and Deng Lun.

Heck yea I’m definitely rewatching this amazingly true masterpiece many times. I don’t even know what am I suppose to do after it ends like it’s so so so hard to find a show that’s this perfect and I’m just going to say that this show is the best show ever to me it tops anything and it’s my #1 show. Totally, totally recommend everyone and anyone to watch this if they can but don’t feel pressured to watch it bc of my crazy little review.

Also if you’re in a withdrawal like me then I encourage you to watch the bts(behind the scenes) of this it’s so funny and I love how all the casts were so natural towards each other there were no awkwardness. You guys are so going to love the leads YZ, DL, and LYX after watching the bts they have such great chemistry together. To me this show can’t be rated it’s like infinite/10, that’s how good it is. I have never seen any show that tops this and let me tell you guys I’ve watched so many top rated/popular show where its not just as satisfying if compared to this. I’m sad cause after this show like everything other show will seem so bland, not up to par, and Ik for sure I will not be able to stop myself from comparing how well done this was. I don’t even know what I was doing before this show like what have I been watching? All the other shows really cannot be compared to HSALF. Also just to put this out I’m a big fan of the novel and I got to say that the show is better a lot better it went so much more in-depth and we got to know how or why a certain event or certain way someone did somethings.

So yes, overall I do recommend it, definitely do yourself a favor and try out this true masterpiece called Heavy Sweetness Ash Like Frost. 100+/10
