LOTD is not the best fantasy/mythical drama but it was okay to watch once. There were some good/funny scenes but I thought LOTD was a lot better in the first half than the second half since it got draggy and repetitive with the whole good versus evil. The ending was also pretty weird even though it was a happy one. In addition, the CGIs were really bad and laughable but they got better as the drama progressed (or maybe it's because I just got used to them...?).
Linda Chung: I really like her hairstyle in here since she looked adorable! Her character was cute but sometimes it got annoying. Although this was filmed two years ago, I thought Linda was bearable and her acting improved. However, the sad part is, I thought she did a better job in here than in "Moonlight Resonance", which was filmed this year...does this mean that Linda is not improving as the years go by or it depends on the role/drama? 3***
Sunny Chan: I felt this role didn't bring out the best acting abilities from Sunny since he has a lot more potential. The character was kind of cute but I wasn't that interested in him. 3***
Benny Chan: Benny's acting has pretty stopped improving but I'm not sure if it's because of the repetitive roles/dramas he keeps getting in which he's not able to unleash his full potential or it's because this is all he has to offer. I like how Benny is the most realistic character of the three though since he's not completely good or evil. He can be annoying but you can't really hate him. 3***
Halina Tam: I like how Halina received a larger role in here and for the most part, I thought she was a good villain. Not a breakthrough role but she was enjoyable to watch. Her character is pitiful but I think she took the whole revenge thing against Timothy Chen's character too "seriously". 4****
Stephen Au: He was a pleasure to watch in here and I like how he wasn't typecast as a villain in here. 4****
Nancy Wu: She was convincing as a brainwashed "disciple" to Halina since she really did seem like a robot. I wanted to see more of a softer Nancy though. 4****
Auguste Kwan: I haven't seen him for awhile and I thought he improved. 2**
Charmaine Li: I'm starting to take a liking to Charmaine; she was cute in here. 3***
Sherming Yiu: I haven't seen her since "Catch Me Now" so it was a nice surprise to see her in here. I think she has potential but sadly, she never gets larger roles. 3***
Chan Hoi Yee: I haven't seen her for awhile and I thought she has gotten a lot prettier. I think she is better at "evil" roles since she acted pretty natural. 3***
Linda+Sunny: It was kind of weird that they both started to like each other near the end but they were an okay couple. I like their wedding scene but it was weird how they didn't stayed married...even though it kind of made sense that they didn't...TVB is weird. 2**
Linda+Benny: It was kind of surprising to see Benny liking Linda since I thought he was kind of a "playboy" since he initially liked Chan Hoi Yee because of her looks. They were a lot cuter in "The Biter Bitten". 1*
Stephen+Nancy: Their love story was heartbreaking. 3***
Auguste+Charmaine: They looked adorable together. 4****
Auguste+Sherming: They didn't have that many scenes together. 3***
Ending song by Linda Chung: The best song sang by Linda. 5*****
