Miss the Dragon (2021) - Final Review

Final review/rating: Miss the Dragon (2021) - Xianxia lite, which does not quite hit the right emotional notes 

This is 6.5/10 stars ✮✮✮✮✮✮ from Pandafan🐼

Overall rating:         6.5 Stars Plot:                       6 Stars Acting/cast:            6.5 Stars Couple chemistry:   6 stars Music:                    7 Stars Re-watch value:      5 Stars Enjoyment factor:   6 Stars

Miss the Dragon (2021) is what I would call Xianxia lite in that it does not quite hit the right emotional notes.  There are some gorgeous set piece scenes and the usual themes (eg undying love through many lifetimes) that you would expect in the Xianxia genre. But because Miss the Dragon seems to have just copied and pasted iconic moments from other notable Xianxia dramas in a mishmash fashion and ambitiously tried to give us four lifetimes worth of the romance of the main leads in a 36 episode drama, it is difficult to get emotionally invested in the story.  

That said, there are moments of genuine humour, and the outstanding chemistry between the loveable second lead couple is delightful. If you are in the mood for Xianxia lite, then give Miss the Dragon a go. A solid 6.5 stars from Pandafan🐼
