Swire God (2020)

Got lost watching the whole drama

How do i even summarize this drama? A mess and a lot of plot loops ?
1st) usually long dramas will drag, and this one did. I enjoyed a good half of it and then started to get confuse and lose interest towards the middle .
2nd) wanted to watched mostly because the main leads were Sheng Yi lun and Wang zhi wen .

Storyline ( let me try my best to summary)
There was an evil sword that no one who control, so Feng gave up her life to put a seal/lock the sword. This causes her husband to go to the dark side, thus creating the evil dude group aka An Ye You Ting. There is also a earthly king and his people, as well as this sect called Jiu Hua. The male lead goes to like a deity school and gets into the sect of Jiu hua, which there is a prince. The female lead is also in the sect. She is the daughter of the Mo family who is respected by the earthly king. The Mo family turns out not to be the family of the female lead, but the female lead is actually the daughter of feng and the evil dude. Meanwhile , another powerful family is the Ye family. One of the main protagonist his the elder Ye son., Ye wu Que. He's obonxious, arrogant and evil. He joins hands with An Ye You ting to try to kill the male lead. I forgot to mention that the male lead once did have any wuxia ability, but somehow got this stone and his powers increased a lot. After that, a whole bunch of stuff happens, lol by the end I'm kinda lost.

Romance- hardly anything between the female and male lead, mostly hugging. Finally the kiss at the very end, lol ep 52!!! Even the second male lead the prince, got a kiss from his loved one...

The last 15 episodes just confused me, it was like two stories were happening because the male and female lead were both separated and faced their own things, and towards the end they just merged the two story into one, and called it an ending.

Actors misguided and bad staging... but still interesting

I had been waiting for this drama for so long ! I had great expectations and was quite excited when it aired. But now, I am really sorry to say that the most interesting part of this drama is the OST with awesome opening and ending themes ! There is also a good surprise : actor Chen Meng Xi's talent and good looks.

Actually the storyline is quite interesting and brings mystery, but the whole story is a bit messy, the drama itself is really bad staged and actors misguided and/or badly filmed. There are so many mistakes in the staging, some moments are really funny when they aren't supposed to be and leave you really doubtful... There are two directors for this drama, they should have hired a third one !
The pace is really slow, I watched it at speed 1,5 from episode 30 to the end.

So what is this xianxia drama about ? The Immemorial Demon Sword 's 500 years enchantment is about to break up. Demon Sword brings misery and sufferings to the mortal realm. To maintain peace and guard the Demon Sword, Jinhua school recruits talented cultivators and night watchers in order to prevent the Night Clan (demonic sect) to waken up the Sword.

The main plot begins when the regent emperor colludes with the Night Clan and Bai family in order to rule the world. Qin Wenxian ( Peter Sheng) is an adopted son of the powerful Qin family. His real parents are unknown and he has no cultivation capabilities but for some unknown reasons he will be the one who wil carry in his body the Stone of Star Soul which will give him extraordinary powers and makes him a genius within the Jinhua school. This stone is the only weapon that can defeat the Demon Sword. How will Qin Wentian use this stone ? Nothing is sure. Will he join the Night clan and turn evil ? Will he save the world and be loyal to his friends and family ? You'll get the answer on last episode.

Beside the main plot, there are different love stories, shared love, one sided love and unrequested love. Sweet moments and also mean ones, some of them are really good but some of them are are just ridiculous or unexpected...
The love story between the main leads is interesting but there is poor chemistry. Princess Qingcheng (Olivia Wang) is actually the Immemorial Demon Sword's guardian although she isn't aware of it when the drama begins.. She is the one connected to it and may sacrifice her life to keep the enchantment. Qin Wenxian and the Princess are both Jinhua school disciples and of course they are in love and have to face good and bad moments... Will they end together and love for ever even after ? Yes !
Peter Sheng and Olivia Wang's acting is so so. They are good but not at the utmost of their skills. I liked Jerry Chang who played perfectly well his role (vilain, superb and gorgeous at the same time ! ). I won't say much about the actors ( I had a crush for Chen Meng Xi, so sexy when he turns evil...). As I said before actors were not helped by the directors who obviously lack staging skills or just... don't like actors !

In this drama, there is action, mystery and some good scenes. If you are not very demanding you will spend a good time watching this, especially if you are Peter Sheng or Olivia Wang's fans !
