Some good parts but ruined by too much fillers and bad ending

Fast forwarded 25% of show because so much fillers after the first half.

First half was really good. Lots of interesting characters and ML powering up.

But so much silliness and so much fillers in 2nd half. Honestly didn't feel that much chemistry between the leads.

Stupidness level is above average unfortunately. Quite a bit of stupidy in characters.

Sacrifice level is low thank goodness. Not many people sacrificing themselves.

Humor is cringy.

Not recommended if you have anxiety or needs emotional support because lots of cliff hangers at the end of each episode.

Plus the ending 2 episodes leave open even more cliff hangers. I dropped at episode 18 and after reading comments about final 2 episodes not resolving a single plot, decided not worth wasting anymore of life on it. I rather spend time reading comments to be honest because I know it would be more satisfying than watching an agonizing 2 episodes that brings zero closure and more anxiety of more waiting.

To me the best part was the mystery and revelation of who the FL is. But they just did not deliver. From comments on threads seems the Hong Sisters are known for great stories but never can end it right. Just like all the Novoland TV dramas. And Luoyang. That was also an huge disappointment like this show. Such tremendous start and ending ruined everything.

There are lot of fana of this show who get emotionally charged due to script playing on people's emotions and anxiety with cliff hangers. Many rave about cuteness of leads or kisses etc. I also like romance but scenes fell flat for me.

I think older audiences would be turned off by it and prefer something more solid and better plot and pacing.

Recommend Ever Night which is also magic users but so much better show. It's on YouTube. One of the best shows ever.
