While I liked the beginning of the story with Luo Yunxi as an outcast, when he became the king in his later identity, there was a sense of detachment in the drama because they didn't prime the story well enough for us to believe that he would start to care about civilians... Compared to Destined where BaiJingTings character is seen giving money to the poor at the beginning og the story to highlight his empathetic nature, TTEOTM could not even spare 5 minutes of the 7 or 8 chapters they wasted purely on his kdrama-like romance than to establish a substantial character trait of him actually caring about anyone else than himself, thus making his coronation a puzzle and unconvincing plot development that soon derailed into the story being all about himself. Pitiful supporting leads weren't even given their farewell scenes. Disappointing.
Of course we can tell she is still woman. We are not blind. But still admit she has good acting. What do u expect then? Ask her to do plastic surgery to change face? Or using AI change face? Just be fair. If you think she didnt do well just dont watch. If you think you can do better you go and act yourself.
