Boring Nonsense

I must say I started watching this C drama because of the awesome cast. I love Jeremy Tsui as he is a very prolific actor, very talented and likeable. In this drama, I barely recognized Tsui and loved his cute, young, lovable character. Usually, most of his later roles are of older characters, especially his period/costume drama roles which I also love. I also like Yang Shuo as he is a very, very talented seasoned actor who is also incredibly attractive and his dimples are swoon worthy. I was not overly impressed with FL as her acting skills are very one dimensional and she has no face acting skills. Her face looked like a robot without expression and perpetually mad, cold, depressed or just simply unhappy throughout the show.
Good stuff:
-Great clothes/wardrobe designs although some of the outfits looked like they were trying too hard
,- Scenery, photography excellent
- beautiful and talented actors,/cast
Not so good stuff
- the most ridiculous, Qi Lei's character having a plastic surgery so none, (even his girlfriend) recognizes him??? Seriously?? So, along with the face reconstruction surgery, apparently his voice has also changed, the shape of his face's bone structure changed ( as the young version had a much larger face with a square jawline) he acquired two beautiful dimples, his body shape, height has changed, his mannerisms, smile and teeth seemed to have ALL became unrecognizable even to his closest friends and to his lover?? What a bunch of hogwash! Apparently, whoever wrote this scrip forgot to check with a plastic surgeon as to what is actually possible!! This nonsense made me drop the whole series.
-furthermore, there is absolutely no romance at all, only argument after argument with the FL's vile temper and viscious competition/characters
- Too much "industry" boardroom talk, arguments over monies, very boring
Really too bad as the show had wonderful, talented cast and the storyline could have been interesting and believable minus the nonsense and ridiculous spy side stories.
