So iQiyi determined to roll one effectively obtained C-drama Story of Kunning Palace into one other anticipated drama A Journey to Love and has now hit the double jacket. I simply completed Wonderland of Love and was planning to lastly begin Kunning Palace however determined to sneak a peek at A Journey to Love and now I’m a goner. This drama is customized tailor-made crack meant for my wuxia loving coronary heart. The leads are excellent of their roles and nice collectively, so entertaining and fascinating to look at onscreen. Liu Shi Shi performs the murderer’s murderer, this isn’t a job however who she simply IS, whereas Liu Yu Ning is the wuxia warrior/spy zaddy who can murderer simply as simply. If he’s Godzilla then she’s Mecha-Godzilla and I really like that she’s the emotionally neutered weirdo and he’s the oddball however comparatively regular one. They get smooshed collectively on a suicides mission to rescue his Kingdom’s emperor from her his Kingdom’s emperor’s clutches, and alongside the way in which they’re accompanied by a motley crew of misfits, goofballs, and sweethearts and practically all with kill switches.
I really like how Liu Yu Ning assembles his crew the Avengers and swaggers off to take names and kick ass, the warrior dudes are all tremendous enjoyable to look at. There aren’t any secrets and techniques between the leads as he is aware of proper off the bat she’s no simpering miss and he or she rapidly dispenses of the pretense since he’s no idiot. She additionally hilariously decides that she must have a child for posterity sake and since he’s tall/sensible/good fighter then he’s the right sperm donor. No, I’m severe, that is finished so effectively and so unexpectedly haha. Bonus factors for the reunion of Liu Shi Shi and actress Ye Qing in a cameo to begin the drama harkening again to their sis-mance in Bu Bu Jing Xing and as soon as once more Ru Yi/Ruo Xi can’t save Ling Lengthy/Yu Tan to set issues in movement right here. I really like the story (not too twisty), the course (modern however not overly stylized ala My Journey to You), and all of the supporting characters who’re given room to showcase their character and objective on this story.
