The Last Immortal" Premier Receives Criticism from Viewers: Clichéd Plot and Poor Acting Performance
The Last Immortal premiered to a wave of criticism from viewers, who expressed their dissatisfaction with the storyline and acting performances. "The Last Immortal" tells the fantastical tale of the protagonist, Ayin, and the White-robed Immortal Yuan Qi on their journey of reincarnation. However, many viewers and critics have pointed out that despite its grand background setting, the plot is considered uninspiring and lacks originality.
Some traditional elements of ancient fantasy dramas, such as misunderstandings and the cycle of destiny, are repetitively used without offering a fresh experience to the audience. Supporting characters have also fallen under scrutiny. The casting choices seem to lack consideration, resulting in many characters appearing unconvincing. For instance, some roles that should exude authority and majesty come across as too young or lacking in presence.
Internet users' evaluations of "The Last Immortal" are generally negative. From the portrayal of the male lead to the monotonous and repetitive story structure, from issues with the pronunciation of lines by the female lead actress to mistakes in selecting supporting roles, various factors have led to low expectations from the audience, and it is predicted that its future performance may decline after an initial peak.
Overall, "The Last Immortal" has been embroiled in a storm of public opinion since its premiere. Although the production team may hope for a turnaround in subsequent episodes, it is evident that the series needs improvement on multiple levels to regain the audience's trust. Can it salvage the situation and regain viewers' approval? We eagerly await to see if "The Last Immortal" will surprise us in the episodes to come.
