Si Hai Zhong Ming (2024)

The cast deserved better.

Started watching because of curiosity, dropped it because the CGI and production as well as storywriting were really quite lacking. I understand from reading the comments that one of the producers pulled out or the like, so there were some limitations, but it being a xianxia, the low production value really pulled me out of it.

The writing was also not the best, one of the main roles who is supposed to be super powerful just suddenly dying because they went a pit before even 25 episodes in or less? That was clearly not going to stick, plus was unbelievable really (and kind of cheap, too).

I dropped this before Zhang Linghe went into dark clothes mode. No complaints about the acting, everyone was really good; but the writing and story let it down. I did not understand how the romance really came about, it seemed to happen really quickly and did not feel very well-developed to me before they were suddenly supposedly in love. This is also a personal and subjective thing, but Jing Tian is not particularly attractive to me, although I do recognise that she is pretty. While her acting is good and I find no faults on that front, her character suffers from shallow writing; which can be said for the whole cast. The cast is strong and all are veteran actors, but are let down by the writing and production not being up to par, and certainly not doing them nor the drama this could have been justice.

I cannot remember the music really so it gets my average of 7 points. I will not be rewatching this so low rewatch value as well.
