The good guys seem to be pretty dumb and the bad guys are brilliant, seriously?

I am still watching this "rom com" which is soooo not a rom com. I will watch it to the end but I am super annoyed by the unimaginative, lazy script where the "good guys" seem to be pretty dumb and none of them has any foresight or able to make a plan to avoid disasters, traps, being captured etc. The main characters seem to be government officials with troops, fighters at their disposal and yet, almost all the time, they are going into danger all by themselves without any back up whatsoever. Same with the gang leaders, they have thousands of talented fighters at their disposal, and yet.. again..they go all by themselves, alone to be captured/trapped numerous times by the "smart" bad guys who travel and fight in large packs...not alone like the dumb ML/FL/Gang leaders, etc. Also, the "genius" lady doctor Lin Ling, knows she is wanted and hunted down, but here she goes.....going to a visible market, all ALONE???? Seriously?? How dumb do you have to be? Or the army supplies, again, the "good guys" just forgot to put extra protection to guard the critical army supplies so one single bad guy/woman was able to destroy it??? The whole thing makes no sense at all. Clearly, in order to create forced "heroes" the writers created Superman/superwomen characters who/whom are able to fight all alone a whole bunch of pirates, bad guys, etc with no help needed. Pretty laughable.
What is wrong with the script writers presenting the good guys as a bunch of unqualified, untalented officials that gets captured, trapped, injured over and over again
Oh yeah, and my favorite is that none of the vicious, bad guys/woman ever dies. They are stabbed, poisoned, suffocated, fallen off a cliff, even buried and yet ....they all come back to life. Seriously unhinged writing.
Love the customs, beautiful scenery and set designs but there is practically no romance and tons of unnecessary flashbacks.
I will finish this series as it is somewhat entertaining once you overlook the obvious ridiculousness.
Not on my list of rewatch.
