I will telll you why people despise Immortal Samsara!
TLDR: If you liked it Good for you! But I just wasted my ~30 hrs watching this and I'm mad pi##ed so imma rant.
After viewing mixed reviews I kept delaying and delaying and it's been so long since the release... Just watched 30 episodes and can't bear to see more!!! So much potential but so weak and pathetic characters! It feels like they are almost forced by the plot to act a certain way because given their back stories and character potential it couldn't be this worse!!!
OBSESSION IS LOVE!? It's a Chinese drama so we have the male lead trying to be obsessive over female lead. If this happens to you irl you report to police and get yourself armed. No joke, the toxicity the ML shows and how it is displayed, as it is cute or something, itself disgusts me. If you like powerful female lead this just ain't it. Because though she is said to be wise and powerful. She hardly displays that quality.
I'M POWERFUL AND WISE BUT DON'T KNOW WHEN TO BE IT There are litteral serious scenes like war or death but none make female lead stop talking like a child. Is it because children are seen as innocent so talking like one makes you feel like that. I have no idea. No ounce of maturity for someone who is supposed to be the strongest and wisest of the twins! Seriously just sees everything has a play(her dream is to be a playwriter).
I LOVE YOU, TRUST ME 🤞🤡:)
ML would get himself beaten/punished but wouldn't die for FL. I can say that for sure! Let's be clear guys, this guy, despite knowing that she knows, that if she gives her half heart away he could be cured, he keeps her close to her. I did rather off myself than even think my spouse despite knowing wouldn't try to save me. I'm not risking that probability! But then how would the story proceed!?
In other instance he listens to her twin sister, who by the way has betrayed her own twin so many times, and he knows because she used him! Lol He thinks she has crossed over to mortality because that b#tch who betrayed his love said so. Dude doesn't event do a personal check! That amount of lazy a##. The attendant her friend who informs him after 900 days knows better!
Thes 2nd-ML does better work protecting and finding the FL than the ML lol.
DELULU IS THE ONLY SOLULU
Seriously, like there is a scene, where in the mortal realm, the ML's then senior/colleague, is telling her that he loves her and will keep her happy blah blah...During this confession, FL is tasked by the ML to clean walnuts for him and is doing so . She literally says something along the lines "If he loved me he would have helped me clean the walnuts", he here referring to the senior who confessed... I was like, bruhhhhh your own man tasked you to clean them, you think he loves you? Tf!?
MY STANDARDS ARE LOWER THAN HELL 😍 Both in heaven and mortal realms ML puts this artifact on her which keeps her at a certain radius of him. If she goes away or closer to him, he can just command her to be at a certain distance from him! And despite this crappy master-slave treatment she goes "Ah I feel safe with him, I want to travel with him, I will give my life for him". For someone who is supposed to be smartest and wisest she doesn't flinch to become his slave. If you think that is love, you need to have standards guys! This man is pure control freak!
WHY LOVE TRIANGLE WHEN WE CAN HAVE A OBSESSION PENTAGON Everyone is ready to give and take lives for their loved aka obsessed ones lol. In center of it all is our female lead. The two male leads love her, the two male leads have two females that would take and give life respectively, one of which has a male that would take lives to have her.
YOU DONT GET A STORY LINE DESPITE BEING THE ONLY SANE COUPLE
So there is the tortise and the wolf clan princess and at this point I just want to know about them. They had a good storyline for like few episodes and then I didn't get to see them. Honestly I would continue watching if there were any glimpses to their future.
WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS WHERE PERFORMANCE MATTERS, NOT SCRIPT
The entire series ran on the actor/actress (s) fan bases. The plot had potential but the writer had worst dialogues and scenes that make mockery out of the plot. For instance, the ML is someone who is very valuable to the heavenly realm but after people know his passing, just one scene is shown about the funeral, no grief is shown, nothing, like no impact was done. Lol wtf! Their acting, I won't say it was worse, but they set a bar and just didn't meet it. People say his eyes are expressive. The only thing I found him expresses was how he hated himself! He keeps saying he is a sinner and must repent but my guy has no remorse for the negligence and ignorance he has shown to FL!
