Deze recentie kan spoilers bevatten
Cliche plot. Amateur flying scene. Bad acting from the cast.
Plot [-]
The whole plot is predictable. At first, I only tuned in for the cast, esp. the FL.
-------------------------------------------------
Character Design [-]
The FL character is getting more annoying as time passes. The character starts off as a professional and capable thief, but then becomes unprofessional and less competent later on. She's supposed to be a thief, but she's easily caught and lacks subtlety. Her actions are too obvious, like turning her body to glance at someone following her when she's trying to be discreet.
Gongyang Maocai (the guy who like the FL's senior sister) is self-contradictory and his temper is irritating. At the beginning, he seems very serious about his job, and his sense of justice is high. But later in the show, when he discovers that the girl he loves and her master are wanted criminals, he simply resigns himself to live with them without maintaining any sense of justice anymore. Throughout most of the series, he competes with the ML in their work, displaying falsely high confidence and refusing to listen to others, which leads him to be unable to judge situations objectively without bias, but he's demonstrated as a highly competent official from Ministry of Justice. He also consistently displays a bad temper, which I find it irrational.
-------------------------------------------------
CG & Flying Scenes of Main Characters [-]
The flying scenes are far from flawless. A particularly cringe scene is the one where the ML and FL, dressed in red wedding attire, fly in the sky while staring directly at the camera (that is supposed to be the other party), which also appears on the opening song of each episode. Their flying gestures are awkward, the choreography is also awkward, and the CG background makes it seem more like a joke than a touching moment. I felt second-handedly embarrassed watching it instead of being touched.
-------------------------------------------------
Performance [-]
It feels like both the cast and director didn't put much effort into their roles. I didn't sense any real commitment from either the ML or FL. They seemed to just recite their lines without much passion. I've seen the FL in "I Don't Want to Be Friends With You," and I thought she did a great job there, but maybe she's more suited to playing a troubled teenager in contemporary setting rather than a young wife in ancient time.
One thing is her pronunciation is that of the modern teenagers who don't voice out the full sound of words but just half of them. And she doesn't seem fully prepared for her role. For example, in scenes where she's supposed to be an expert at running on rooftops, she looks visibly arduous and tired. Plus, her weapon handling looks amateurish, esp. in one scene of the last episode where she's supposed to intimidate her enemy by drawing her sword from its sheath. It just comes off as ridiculous and unconvincing. No one's going to be scared from the way she pull her sword like she doesn't know how to use it. Her interpretation of her role comes across as shallow; I don't sense any immersion. The feeling she conveys seems only surface-level, quite superficial. Overall, I was disappointed by her performance in this series despite liking her in her previous role. I think she has potential, but she has to put more effort into crafting her acting skills.
