It started good, but the development was poorly written

Review (NO SPOILERS)

* For me, this story started good but with every episode it got worse. The storyline was terrible written
* I love Xu Kai, but the roles he plays are getting repetitive
* The female lead doesn't tell me a thing with her face, she lacks emotions so bad
* There were 4,5 unnecesary episodes that diverted from the main plot, I fast-forwarded them
* The story about the second prince was so unnecesary, I like complex characters, not only good stories in main leads, but it really felt unnecesary
* I really like Yu Feng Mu character. I hope to see Li Jun Chen as main lead in another serie

(SPOILERS) The worst: So many plot holes (SPOILERS):
There's a lot of things that doesn't make sense, I'll write the ones I remember

1) When Su Youlian touch the water, her forehead mark was suppose to appear, but when they fall into the lake and go to that other dimension/realm, it didn't ???

2) One of the important details in the story is that Li Xuan is half clan human half clan Kunwu. But noone looked surprised when they find out?

3) The Great Dragon king doesn't even care about Li Xuan and discards him at the end because he was half human? When he is her sister's son, the one who was captured and even got his memories deleted, he didn't even remember his mother and her death. And he was asleep for ten years, so he has no idea about everything his nephew did during those years, doesn't he remember his sister's kid?

3) When Su Youlian show her wings, she shows great powers, but when she needs it, she doesn't even use it! Even when it was no longer a secret she was from clan Kunwu

4) When Li Xuan tell his friends that Xiao FengMing was behind the murders in the school and city, a few seconds later they said Xiao Feng Ming is the one who has real power, not the prince. Didn't they just discover he was evil bc of the one in his body?

5) The annoying sword/the female lead's master hears or doesn't hear when it's convenient. Some times he is like "I know everything you did or said" and others he's like "what happened". And at the end we don't know, does he react in some way when he finds out Li Xuan is half Kunwu? And when he knows they are together? Does he return happily to the Great Dragon King, etc??

A little basic with some plot holes

*NO SPOILERS NOW*

STORY: I think the story is super cliché, I personally didn't mind, but the script is pretty lacking, and there's not a good development of the characters and their relationships.
Also, some people point out the slow paced story development, but I wouldn't mind if there was something worth it in it. How can there be so many episodes before they realize they like each other and everything else, but nothing interesting happens in that time? It can take time, but make it worth it. I don't even buy Itt liking Pai..

ACTING: Considering that the script is not the best, the story would have needed really good actors to portray what was poorly written in the script, but tbh the actors are not that good. There were a lot of moments when the camera was focusing on their faces, but the emotions weren't there, it's hard to feel connected to their feelings. Their chemistry was off sometimes too.
The best out of the actors are JJ (Waan) and Fiat (Pure)

I think GGMTV is putting less and less effort everytime. Little budget, rookie actors who are obviously handsome (Idk what's the point, to pay them little money?) and cliché stories that could be written by anyone , even the locations are always the same.



*WITH SPOILERS NOW*

STORY: It's ridiculous how 90% of the problems in the show could have been solved by just talking and communicating. I know people irl are a little like that too, but seriously? I still don't get how Itt stays by Pai's side by helping and taking care of him in the dark but is not capable of talking to him face to face to clarify he's not angry at him nor does he hate him. What's the point? I don't even talk about saying he likes him, but why would you just act like and asshole to him (even tho he has good intentions), but not explain absolutely anything ¿?

Another point is that we can't see when and how Itt starts liking Pai. The acting is more obvious on Pai's case, but Itt? Not his dialogues, nor his face or eyes say a thing. Then he acts all angry when he finds out about the classroom, doesn't talk to him for months, and then suddenly appears, helps him and likes him? "he was never angry" says waan, then what was that all about? And why didn't he say something?

Visually outstanding, great acting, excellent ost

I LOVE this movie.
The story itself is well developed, the script is really good, the characters are interesting and the actors and actresses play their roles amazingly.

The best:
* The visuals of the movie are amazing. Some chinese movies tend to have less budget and is noticeable the good special effects on this one
* The music, perfect, for every moment there was a nice music on the background that matched the situation perfecly
* The story is not too complex but also not too simple. It has a nice plot development. Also, all the characters have their moments to shine
* Deng Luo and Mark Chao have excellent chemistry, the brotherhood on this one is really nice

The worst:
I don't really have any negative to say about the movie jajaja, I really loved it!
