Bit of a let down

This is the lowest review rating for any review I have written so far.
Since this drama is a "netflix original" I expected a lot, therefore I waited for the series to finish to bingewatch (my mistake...). The set-up of the series is quite chaotic and the graphics in the first episode are pretty bad. It takes a while to realize what the storyline is about in the first few episodes. Most often it does not take much for me to finish a series and be content with it. The series had a lot of potential which was not realized, which is the main reason for the low rating. The character development of most side characters was quite unsatisfactory like King Qin'guang or the other sidekick. The storyline from the past also had some plotholes if you ask me.. In the beginnign you may ask yourself why each ghost story seems so random, luckily that answered mid-series. The ending was in a way satisfactory but not entirely what I was looking for.

The acting was not super. I just liked the way Mike He looks (yes a bit to biased) and how he acts as boyfriend. The acting of Ivy Shao and Jane Cheng was a bit to robotic at times. Anson Chen however, made an impressive twist (you will find out). Also the character development of Roy Chang was likeable (how he went from 'bad to good'), I know a bit to biased.

Don't remember much from the music.
And would defintely not rewatch this.

All in all I would not recommend the series, unless they make remake with a better storyline (and less plotholes) (also maybe some better acting).
