Wisher (2021)

Great potential but poorly executed

I’m usually super generous with my ratings but 7.5 seems about right. I was so excited to watch this cause the teasers and the plot line seemed super interesting - it had so much potential but the execution really lacked.

I think it’s mostly the writings fault. Honestly had no idea what was going on most of the time, all the scenes just came out of nowhere somehow and it literally just doesn’t make sense.

As for the acting I think Cheng Cheng and the girl who played Lu Li actually did quite well even when the dialogue just didn’t make sense - they were the most natural. But seriously the guy who played Na Duo he just seemed to overact the entire time. And I say that as an actor myself lmao to be fair it could have been the directing too cause in general most of the acting in this show just felt like it was ‘acted out’.

I really wanted to like it but to be honest I only kept watching for Cheng Cheng as towards the end of it I just couldn’t be bothered for the plot anymore.

To say something positive though I think the cinematography is absolutely amazing as well as the top notch special effects, visual effects etc. Lyuteng city looks beautiful!

The worst of the Light-On Series ... yet

Only watch this is you want to watch Fan Cheng Cheng. Otherwise, this Light-On Series (LOS) is a complete waste of time.

Think .. a bunch of school kids trying to save the world... from an evil organisation.. when the LOS really shouldn't be this kind of show considering their success in 2020. The producers were probably trying to experiment but .. oh gosh this is so bad.

There is no smarts in this. No grand scheme. What you see is what you get. And cheesy lame. Feng Shaofeng basically plays a middle-aged man who got thrown into this hero role when he shouldn't. He and his character both, they can't pull it off.

The female lead cannot act. Period. She is stiff, with expressions that don't match. You basically won't feel any empathy for her.

Fan Cheng Cheng was the only good actor in this entire series. Unfortunately his character is so so flawed, and cheesy too.

Sorry for the rant. (Give me back the past 10 hours of my life!)
