Spoiler-Free Mini Review:
Absolutely bonkers. I cannot stress how insane the plot is, but I was all in. The editors were having too much fun as they should. The gothic vibes and many an extreme zoom in's were inescapable. I have not stopped laughing at the CGI in episode 13 and i never will. End episodes were a doozy and less interesting.
There is an extra scene of this show on YouTube that expands the ending and I'd recommend looking it up after you watch. Side note: This was originally a rebirth storyline but due to censorship laws they had to cut it out. In the novel the FL was actually reborn as Jiang Li.
Story=4.5, Acting=3.5, Production Quality=4.5, Ending=3.5, Enjoyability= 5
