And yet, what annoyingly distracts me is how the director thinks boasting shots of CGI locations is a thing.

It feels very odd to me that Orchid doesn't annoy me. She's got just the right balance of annoying and cutie to make me just want to squeeze her. Because boy, oh boy is Orchid a stereo type. A stereo type that usually becomes super annoying, super-duper fast. I think some very well done writing saves Orchid from the fate of annoying female lead. Not to mention that the actress playing Orchid clearly has skills and is making that last little jump of endearing underdog. Cause I want to be on team Orchid.
Some of my lack of awe and just meh at this point is the stereotype of the other characters thus far. The mean girls who pick on her and disrespect her. Like some of Orchid's friends say "Why did they laugh? They all have to take the same test and might fail as well!" Or the other people in higher power could be from any other Wuxia I've seen. Chang Heng is the ideal heart throb who doesn't even remember saving Orchid's life, but through his aloofness seems sweet. And well . . . he's a stereotype. Boring.
Which makes me feel meh about Orchid's crush on him.
Things amp up fast as she rushes to save her crush and is sucked into a prison with the big bad stereotype. Er, I mean Dongfang Qing Cang. The villain who almost breaks out, but all the higher up immortals go to strengthen the seal. Orchid knows that Chang Heng will die attempting this so she incurs the wrath of the gods and is sucked into the prison. (Yeah, I just had to.) To his credit Chang Heng is concerned that a fairy got trapped in there, and it makes him look good as everyone else is all whatevs about it.
Long story short the body swap—promised in the drama synopsis—occurs. And actress Yu Shu Xin gets to show off her skills as she is no longer Orchid. She's now Dongfang Qing Cang. Boom! It's so funny watching Orchid's body threaten Orchid in her new male body and demand to be freed. I mean I'm not sure how to describe it. Dongfang Qing Cang is threatening to kill his physical male body . . . would he really be okay being trapped in a cute little fairy's body. Espeically since he's stating that Orchid, in his body, has his powers.
Oh, boy. I don't know how I'm gonna write these reviews.
It's a promising start and the Leads are showing their acting skills nicely. It's just a bit meh right now. Which I know many have stated it might be like until the plot really gets going.
