Overall this was a nice enough xianxia, kind of run of the mill, the side characters were the stars of this drama and the best parts. Unfortunately the scriptwriter decided to reuse parts of her script from Goodbye my princess, in the mortal arc. She basically copy pasted the concept, key points leading up to the climax and the climax itself. This did the whole drama a major disservice as it was hard to take anything seriously after that and the drama and heartbreak of it all was just missing. When I’ve already seen the scenes once, but better done, it’s not going to work a second time. The twist ended up being the fact that I’d already seen this twist before.
It’s a shame, because it was a nice enough show, not amazing or life changing, but just a nice show to watch. I’m going to avoid this scriptwriter from now on. Or I might just watch to see if she reuses it again….
