slightly disappointing? [EDIT: COMPLETED]
don't get me wrong from the title of this review. but let's break it down...
legends: YYZ [male lead, yan yun zhi] SQ [female, sang qi] ZWY [2nd male lead, zhuo wen yuan]
the story:
short detailed summary: SQ is the first female student of the imperial college with a goal to graduate and get good grades there to fulfil the dying wish of her late brother and to also prove to the whole nation that females deserve a chance to study at an institution. in the midst of studying there, she fell in love with the polymath of the imperial college that she is in and that is YYZ. Alongside the romance line and the school story, YYZ and his side character friends are investigating a bad organization and their wrongdoings.
Moving on, let's start with the romance line,
this is a small spoiler but YYZ is the best friend of SQ's late brother and that was also a catalyst of their relationship. The romance between them is lighthearted, funny and hand in hand, they investigate the death of SQ's brother. Up to ep24, their relationship did not go through that big of a rollercoaster [by rollercoaster, I mean like separating for more than 2 eps]. Some of yall might not like it but I think it's okay? Though for ancient dramas, I do prefer those harem chaos and betrayal shit. But as everyone knows, Zhao Lu Si [SQ actress] rarely acts for those chaotic dramas. I don't think it's much big of a spoiler but there is some love triangle shit.. YYZ and SQ are together, but ZWY [childhood friend with SQ] is madly obsessed with SQ.
What I don't like much about the love line is the lack of creativeness, like I don't get the sweet romance/first love kind of feeling that usually gets me slamming my table because it is so sweet in between them. And what I mean by creativeness is that the feelings or the plot between the lovers are like not fresh? Like the reason they fight or have a quarrel, is that usual common reason, not sure if you can guess what is the reason cuz I'm tryna spoil bare minimum.
Moving on to the 'Investigation' part of the drama, ehhhh i think it's very boring. Not thrilling, not exciting. Some reactions that I get from good 'Investigation' plots are when it leaves me hanging and anxious about what the bad guys are gonna do next. But for this drama, they basically sit under a roof, drink tea and discuss shit like "Don't hurt XXXX" and their moves are predictable? Like some of the good shit are from Princess Silver, or like Legend of Fuyao [10/10 recommend this two if you love really MESSED UP stuff and really really good plot twists], Oh and actually Legend of Yun Xi is not bad too [9/10 recommend for a messed up story]
I would recommend drama if you like dramas with good visuals or a drama for relaxation. I would pick this drama if I have just gone through dramas and dramas of a really torturous (虐) storyline. I will update when the last episode airs!
EDIT: COMPLETED 30/30
well well well. it hasn't been a hot minute and I'm here.
For those who don't really want to read this whole part. Watch 25-30. It's where all the mess starts and ends!
Ah, the ending. Very complete I would say! I must admit the middle part of the drama isn't very well done but the ending is really good IMO. Within 3 episodes [28,29,30] Lots of emotions, LOTS OF PLOT TWISTS that got me screaming [for real] and the last episode was beautiful. Truly beautiful. This show ended with all questions answered and all dreams came true! Worthy to watch for the ending!! Now I'm renewing my stars from an 8.0 to a 9.0 :) The only flaw being the middle plot not being well done and some parts being boring. Everything else is good!
