The Gods Must Be Bored

Xanxia is that genre where we get to see how very dull life is for the Chinese gods. Their lives are lived at Tai Chi speed, and there doesn't seem to be a brain-cell in sight, generally.

Yes, I heard that 500 years is like one human year, etc.... and therefore, many gods are still immature. Yet, how come the most childish god is always female? Why do we need another series of Yang Zi cheesing it up for laughs? Playing the same saccharine cutesy character, and somehow, we know the ML will fall for the cutesy behaviour, as he always does, despite him being a mature and wise god.

***BTW, having "romantic feelings" for a much younger woman, whether she is immortal or not, whom you literally saw created, and brought up yourself from a child in your own home, is incredibly creepy and gross, and nothing anyone says can convince me otherwise! The antithesis of romantic.***

The script dialogue here is quite well written though, I will say that. But another endless and slow immortal story that will feel like 500 years by the time it is finished? No thanks. I like the Elmo (LOL) Yumo dragon character so far (ooops, turns out he's a black fish, but why does he have horns then???? Bet he has some secret dragon magic) Good addition to the cast of characters. The stoic guy always gets the girl in C-dramas, but they are definitely the most boring. The demon world is always depicted as being more colourful, and bewitching, and I can't imagine anyone in their right minds would rather hang out with the heavenly immortals, if given a choice.

I'm going to have to pass on this one, watching yet another painfully slow love story about some stoic guy and his annoying and childish lady-love is more than I have the patience for. I liked what I read about a part-demon character, but I can see he is going to be steadfastly boring and stoic throughout, so I'm dropping this one.
