So C-drama A Journey to Love has been airing for 3 weeks and for VIP viewers of iQiyi the streaming platform released the final 6-episodes this Monday with exclusive access. It helps with keeping the interest level high as honestly the last ten episodes have been slowly flagging for me. Overall I found the drama solidly written, a great supporting cast of both the actors and the characters written, and a solidly interesting story about the two kingdoms, the politics, and betrayals. Sadly the OTP romance which started so interesting during the sparring and flirting phase turned dull as dishwater once they got together because the two characters are just so uneventful. Their issues are dealing with external problems and leads Liu Yu Ning and Liu Shi Shi had more spark with other characters in the second half and when together felt like an old boring marriage couple. The ending was a letdown in satisfaction but made sense in narrative, but this is a drama I still would recommend because overall it was well done and a fast paced watch.
