Many major plot points are only found out much later than when they occurred. Fragmented pieces that come together to create a whole. The plot instead of being linear ends up being a mosaic.We don’t need to pay as much attention because the music will tell us before any dialogue starts. Instead of just watching and seeing what happens, it takes a lot of suspense. This removes a lot viewing enjoyment because without thinking the first musical note tells what type of scene to expect. They don’t even give the viewer or the actors a chance to convey what is happening in the story. The over reliance on music to set the tone for each scene.Such maturity and change of perspective, was not well explored or developed leading up to before that important moment. Not only that is, but is totally in board with how Chen Lan runs things. Fast forward… once she realizes her feelings for Chen Lan, how quickly she gives up her goal to reclaimed her previous sect leader position. Zhao Yao quickly becomes a demoness that ruthlessly kills people (for whatever the reason), where a minute before she was innocent and kind hearted. This isn’t to say that the character development was always smooth and reasonable – only that the traits are consistent.
By nature he was always been somewhat shy around her, therefore the dynamic feels natural. When it comes to romance Mo Qing can still be shy around Yao and it is she who initiates most of the kisses. For the most part, characters always acted per their original personality traits. If you can’t remember a name, you can at least recognize the clothing. The contrast of designs also makes each sect easily identifiable. Looking closely there are numerous textures, colors, fabrics, and details which add to each character and sects traits. The fighting scenes are energetic, full-on and the actors gave it their all.The standout would be Chen Lan deep looks of longing at the perceived loss of Yao and then his attraction and love for her, once she re-appears in his life. Fantastic acting by the main leads, both actors embody a wide range of emotions and hold your attention in whichever scenes they are in.Beyond that the plot becomes overwhelming and consequently tedious. Why did I press play? At my wits end waiting for new episodes of Korean drama My Country: The New Age to air.ĭuring which episode was it dropped? Watched the first half and lightly skimmed the rest of the drama.Ī few thoughts and observations: Besides a big time jump, the first two dozen episodes are action pacts and draw you in.
