Not because she actually chose him.Īnd to make matters worse, it's not until after Mu Le remembers who he really is that Yuan'an and him get together (so now she not only chooses him because she doesn't have another option, but she only realizes her feelings when he's not her slave boy anymore. So basically this way, whether it's true or not, it feels like Yuan'an is only going to end up with Mu Le because she couldn't have Lan Zhi anymore. They keep this going for more than halfway through the story, up until the point that Lan Zhi is no longer an option. And at the same time, she showed that she cared for Mu Le, but wasn't really in love with him (even though other people just kept saying it to her as the writers way of making people care about Yuan' an and Mu Le's relationship). The writers spend basically the first half of the drama with Yuan'an having a crush on Lan Zhi, (which honestly I kind of preferred because he was matured and balanced out her somewhat stubborn and child like tendencies). The romance is super slow burning, which isn't a problem (there are still a lot of cute moments that happen throughout), BUT my biggest issues are how they played out the various romances. Relationships are fully formed by this point, and just overall there's honestly a lot going on that you somewhat get lost in the mix. There's "soul splitting" occurring (Hey, Harry Potter), time travel (multiple times), and magical spells running amok. The fantasy aspects pick up more, and things start taking a weird turn.īy the end of the drama, we have people turning into dragons, bats, and moths. The second male lead is weirdly one of my favorites at this point in time (he's mature and brave, but still has a bit of a playful personality behind him). The female lead (IMO) has been getting more and more immature as time passes and is just downright whiney most of the time (I still love Janice Wu though). There's a bit of fantasy involved (obviously), but for the most part, it's relatively logical (for a Chinese drama at least xD)įast track to the middle of the drama, the slave boy remembers his true identity, has stolen a precious treasure, and returned to his original homeland. Girl also meets a city detective and together they solve crimes around the city with some help. Rich, young, beautiful daughter of a court official buys an amnesiac boy from a market. I also know that it's supposed to be an "Odyssey" which I guess it really was, it was just such a convoluted path to get there. I know it was based off of an IP novel, so maybe it made more sense in writing? IDK. The plot line for this drama was honestly all over the place. Weirdly enough I enjoyed watching it (in terms of entertainment factors), but I will definitely say that this drama had a LOT of issues and weirdness about it, but a few good points to almost balance it out. This review may contain spoilers Overall, I have mixed impressions of the drama.
