What a feat... You've got a decent cast, quite good CGI, and costume design, along with a not-too-shabby (albeit basic) story setup. And then... this? What in the FRESH HELL happened in that writer's room???

The trope of a powerful, noble god trapped in an ordinary girl's body might be overused, but if executed well, it can still offer a captivating narrative. I appreciated the demon princess angle; it's refreshing to see a female lead in that role (or at least I haven't watched any dramas with that storyline yet). Moreover, the bond between her and her devoted brother had me intrigued. But the romance??? Oh boy, it felt like someone snipped out every scene that could've built their relationship naturally. I don't even want to continue diving deeper into this mess.

Ju Jingyi often receives criticism for her dramas and costumes. However, I genuinely wonder how much of that is actually her doing or decision. Personally, I believe she's a talented actress. Yet, the scripts she's been handed in recent years leave much to be desired (...to put it nicely). If I were her, maybe I'd just enjoy wearing those cute outfits as a silver lining in these roles. That's my theory at least lol and she DOES look stunning in them. Good for her.
