It's been a very longtime i didn't feel entering into a drama. I enjoyed the story as a whole and always waited for the next episode.
The first few episodes are all about the background of the story. I still can follow the plot. This drama will not be as explosive at the beginning. But it should be more and more interesting in the later stage.
Li yi feng's acting skill are still worthy of praise. From lively,funny and innocent when he was young to becoming full of pain,stress and hopeless. Showing the tragic vicissitudes of live. And metamorphosis is very good. As sea emperor, he is full of the style of a king. Manly, calm, mature, smart,cold,domineering.
Chen yu qi's acting is still in place. Her expression and movement are expressive. Expressing sadness and crying scene are natural. Make me very immersive and this look is really beautiful. Beautiful and painful at the same time. She is cold, loneliness, hopeless, broken heart. She's dying. How can she be cute. The FL is strong as the male lead. The thing i love that FL is not played as just a romantic interest. But she has her own mission and purpose which is not overshadowed by the romantic storyline.
ML and FL are not only different races but also of different identities. Both of them bear the fate of their own country. The weight of the responsibility that both the leads shoulder can be deeply felt. Two people always bear the hatred of their respective countries. And they cannot stay in love with each other. How should they choose in the face of national justice and love? I have tasted the beauty of love but it is more painfull.
Chemistry between ML and FL in their characters is really working for me. I like the energy between them. They repel and attract toward each other constantly like magnets. The way how she is always intuned to his is well done. The emotions even by gazing each other is so deep. Perfect pair.
The OST lineup is super gorgeous. Zhou shen, mao buyi and zhang bichen. The combination of these three are amazing. And instrumental music in this drama is beautiful.
The CGI are still good. More exiting than i expected. Each episode can bring different surprises. The setting it feels very beautiful and it is more in live with the setting of the fantasy world.
I really like this drama. Fall in love with main couple. Attractive storyline. Ups and down of the su mo and bai ying's love. Development to feel the joy and sorrow of the characters. Extremelly beautiful and the emotions evoked are intense. Love it.
It is great drama with captivating romance between ML and FL. But the ending might not satisfy everyone. I would recommend it.
