Oh boy. How to say this kindly....

Coming almost straight from The Untamed, you go into this with high expectations and come out not knowing what happened because 20 min into this you started playing with your phone instead.

This production seemed....rocky at best. It had a very cheap feel to it and i was mainly watching for Xiao Zhan who either really deserved the Golden Broom if this is his standard acting or he just had a bad director, a bad script and a bad bad fricken month. It was lacking, in everything.
It's a far cry from his portrayal of WWX or even the dude in Oh my emperor (which i dropped)

The other cast seemed less cringey to watch and the plot was thiiiiiiiin. I couldnt get into it. Only in the very end, i got a little interested in the MC and I might watch the sequel because of that....

Anyway, the tl;dr:
questionable performance from XZ, passable from the rest.
music... - uh, there was music?
plot: easy to follow, bit boring, predictable
Costume and set: standard
Fimlography/camera: mid to low qual imho.
Rewatch: nah, I'm good thx

Cheers!
