Main Problem: No sparks between WHZ and HCY and Sloppy Production
I watched this on last year because of Wang Hao Zhen and the premises was very promising at first but it turns out to be my biggest disappointment from him.The plot lacks twists and turns, as does the romance, making it overall quite uninteresting. The acting itself isn't the main problem; Wang Hao Zhen and Hou Cheng Yue still delivers the role but their acting weakness was obviously shown as chemistry almost non-existent and there is no sparks between them. The plot execution was the main problem and the production team were lack from the way they editing the drama.
There are too many close-up shots, and the lack of filters and beauty effects exposes the actors' flaws in appearance. Every screenshot is unflattering; to exaggerate, this series is truly a disgrace to the leads' reputations. Even the most handsome men and beautiful women can't withstand such close-ups.
The color tone is also poor, the camerawork is terrible, and there are many meaningless long takes that leave viewers confused. The kissing scenes are also full of close-ups, with no background music, resulting in neither aesthetic appeal nor any atmosphere.
I never rate Wang Hao Zhen drama lower than this .Even two of his dropped drama was better than this, ugh.
