Almost but not quite. Had hints of being different and having a something to say before fizzling to a wut? ending. I still don't get why she fell for him? Oh yes, rich and handsome means we can forget about all the shit bits. Gorgeous visuals though.
Zhao Lu Si is her usual charming self but hasn't really been given much to work with in this, I got to ep. 5 and boredom had well and truly set in. Not even the pleasure of watching her expressions could carry the plot. I may drift back but I'm finding the attention paid by the older boy to a little school girl a bit uncomfortable as well. Just not enough non creepy reasons for him to be so invested. Hey ho, I might watch I hear you again for a Lu Si fix as consolation.
She is competent. She just went downhill because she was betrayed and cheated on and she went through ups and…
Ah...yes but I was talking about Kdrama tropes where it is used all to regularly as a setup, first episode or two FL is competent and capable and can even best the male lead and then... If we are talking about RL then that's a whole different kettle of turnips.
I'm sort of getting that confident successful woman turns in to pathetic clutz that constantly needs saving vibe from this - not my favourite trope. Either make them competent or make them useless the flip flop kills it for me.
Usual overly contrived mysteries being improbably solved nonsense. If you are into that sort of thing it's done quite well if you need things to be vaguely possible in order to be intriguing you won't enjoy it.
Gorgeous visuals though.
Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooored
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
On another topic why do they always show theses terribly thin Kactresses wolfing down fodder like no tomorrow? Food doesn't work like that man!
Less stuff going would have made it a winner.
