Okay. Speed and love. I had high expectations. But it wasn't met. I'm not sure if any of you knows Forbidden flower, Taiwanese drama by Jerry Yan. The vibes started similar to the forbidden flower. Mature guy X cheerful female lead. However, I think it became too slow paced. Like the story is dragging. I mean they officially started dating at ep 15, I think. For a 29 episode drama. That's too slow paced. It lacked in a lot of things. Just when I think I'm about to cry, my tears doesn't come out cause the emotional rising gets cut. Like, the pacing should be at a high emotional part then suddenly, Na-da. Visually, top-notch but don't you think that there's too many cast but so little time to dive into their stories. In fact, the story revolved on the 2 main leads but their emotional capacity to deliver each scene feels lacking. The only time where I was smiling ear to ear is when they're kissing or flirting but that's not how it's supposed to be. If that is the only part where I feel elated, it means, the story itself is subpar. And to think this drama have too much hype compared to how it should be. Either way, this one is good only as YT shorts or tiktok clip but to watch the entire drama, it's not worth it.
