The title of the play is "The Curse of Destiny" or "The Curse of the Lake Fairy". The perspective of the story revolves around the heroine Nimue, which should be a tragic story for her.
The story line is completely different from the well-known "The Legend of King Arthur" or the British drama "The Legend of Merlin". For example, in some stories, Nimue and Merlin are enemies, and Merlin falls in love with Nimue wishful thinking and ends up trapped in a rock. But here it becomes a father-daughter relationship. Merlin is not a follower of King Arthur in the Chinese style of "The Legend of Merlin", but a drunkard who has lost his magic, although he is still a national teacher...
Because the change was too different from the previous impression, I was convincing myself that there was no need to limit myself to the stories that I was used to in the past. Since it was such a big change, I could read it as a new story. At least the Merlin played by Gustaf is still refreshing, and the climax of the first season is in the last few minutes. The most useless Merlin in history finally burst into beans. Holding the sword of the first king, he retrieved his mana, evoked thunder and lightning, and transformed into LOL. The mighty Rune Mage Ryze...hahaha
I accidentally discovered that Gustaf Skarsgård , the actor who played Merlin, is quite a fun actor, and his acting skills in this play are also good, so it can be said that he is a fan of him.
The plot is slightly snail-like, and although it is fantasy, its magical atmosphere is not particularly obvious. There are some plot developments that are really looking at with a question mark: 1 The Weeping Monk is Lancelot, and the squirrel's name is Percival, both of which are King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, which...
2 Morgana actually killed the shadow widow, the daughter of death, and obtained the power of a widow. I don't know what kind of ability she will have in the next season, as well as the spider Cailleach (Cailleach) who is possessed by her. Aren't the forces in conflict?
3 After Gawain Green Knight is cast by the heroine, will he have new abilities in addition to recovery?
4 What will happen to the angel of vengeance in the next season after becoming the Pope's lackey at the end of the first season?
Up to now, it seems that the second season has not been renewed. Although the costumes are not bad, the casting of Arthur who seems to be a person of color is still controversial, and I don't know if there will be a second season. But I think if there is, since the plot is almost paved, I think it should be more exciting.
