Black Lotus Tactics Manual (2024)

The Moonlight Trio reunite!

This has been one of the series I was dying for since more than half a year, and I have to say my waiting period was really worth it. I watched Moonlight for this show, and since I loved Moonlight, I knew I was gonna love this one as much!

Moreover, I really loved the storyline, and the kind of video game theme it has with the pixelated illustrations and really colorful and vibrant costumes for the characters. Yellow and black really suits Mu Sheng, Ding Yuxi rocked him exactly like in the manhua! Like always, anything cute suits Esther and especially the fact she could play her role as Lin Yu totally opposite to her original evil character as in the novel was really amazing! I was also looking forward to Yang Shize’s role here because I really loved his relationship with Ding Yuxi in Moonlight, and his role and character as Liu Fuyi is just as great!

The OST here was really one of my favorites. The song by the main casts, Esther Yu, Ding Yuxi, Yang Shize, Zhu Xudan, Fei Qiming, Li Yizhen and Lu Yuhao was really a great OST by the casts I’d heard in while. The MV: https://youtu.be/4w0JbGUNg8w
The cast SLAYED the dance and they were even better than the original girl group who did this song before!

Overall, the cast, the layout, Special FXS, the colors and the natural acting makes this drama one of the greatest fantasy dramas I’ve watched in a while. Totally recommendable to people who loved Moonlight and those who like a good novel+video-game theme！

I'LL REVIEW IT EPISODE BY EPISODE

I'LL REVIEW IT EPISODE BY EPISODE BEFORE I GIVE OVERALL REVIEW

EPISODE 1: Lightning and Credits: A Familiar yet unfamiliar introduction.

1. Genre
-Familiar: Demon-hunting and Transmigrating to a book is common on c-novels. If you love to read this kind of genre, the plot is easy to grasp and very true to its premise. The drama opens the introduction with Ling Miaomiao's relatable character as a reader and worker. The book's plot the FL reads is explained through great watercolor painting style animation which I appreciate.
-Unfamiliar: Game System/Book Transmigration genre is a rare to see in c-dramas so it's still refreshing to see in the screen especially there are many scenes that I can't help but to laugh out loud such as lightning scenes, credits scene, and Ling Miaomiao's inner monologues about the novel.

2. Memories
- There's a famous quote by Jonathan Dunne "In the end, all we have is memories". The memories of FL in a certain scene where it feels like her two worlds collide.
-Usually in some dramas, if leads don't get happy ending in ancient world, there's possibility again to meet in modern world as another person. In this drama, we get that too in this drama but it's not the leads, but someone related to our FL (I don't want to spoil who it is) and this time, they didn't meet in modern world, but in ancient setting. This scene pokes my heart.

3. Clichés put into good use
-It's not a rare sight for Xianxia to see leads either ML/FL to be attacked by lightning usually punished due to disobedience to their master or God's or Heavenly rules. This drama add used that lightning not to create heart wrenching scene but into comedy gold. Added with closing credit scene, I can't help to laugh out loud.

Le film était vraiment décevant. Le scénario manquait de profondeur et de cohérence, avec des rebondissements prévisibles et des dialogues plats qui n'apportaient rien aux personnages. Les acteurs semblaient peu inspirés, comme s’ils jouaient sans conviction, ce qui rendait les émotions peu crédibles. De plus, la réalisation laissait à désirer, avec des plans mal cadrés et un montage incohérent. La bande sonore, censée ajouter de l'intensité, était mal utilisée et souvent inappropriée. En résumé, le film n’a pas réussi à captiver et laisse une impression d’inachevé

Isekai: The best Genre

Food analogy: An exotic fine dining experience of Chinese Cuisine

This is probably my first C-drama review and My very first Wuxia drama and I have always been a fan of Isekai. I can't begin to explain how much in love I am with this drama. I will probably watch a lot more wuxia from now on.
The story itself is very very good and has me hooked since the beginning. You would be drawn with the fight sequences and the amazing CGI but it is the amazing character developments will keep you going.

Let's talk about acting. Ding Yu Xi is the main reason I wanted to write an early review. From every smirk to every eyebrow arch, everything about his acting screams perfection. so amazing. With every tear in his eyes, i felt like my heart too was breaking. Then i realized, he is very underrated. I wish he gets the fame that he deserves.
Even when the FL is acting cute often but it has not been over the top ( which is a big deal because i generally drop dramas, if there is too much overacting) . Supporting actors are good as well.

Not much of a rewatch girlie but this drama, i know i will.


Don't skip this.
