Chen Zhe Yuan needs an update!

I've been a fan of CZY since Hidden love, somehow in my opinion, after this drama all his new dramas have the same kinda acting and expressions be it a lover boy/costume dama/military! Kinda disappointing.

About this drama:
1. Slow burn romance with 0 to no chemistry so far. I mean somehow the FL does not match the ML's vibes, they are both in different dimensions lol.
2. Unrealistic, pathetic graphics/animation.
3. Imagine being in a war zone and being able to hop to just anywhere in a jeep!?
4. So in the same war zone, the FL being a reporter will still be able to change places whenever she wants, follows the ML where ever he goes, gets into danger like its a given thing to be saved by none other than "him" :D
5. Amidst all this, the ML and FL still manages to find a fine dining restaurant in a war zone, eat and talk peacefully without being interrupted?! Like literally people are dying out there with no place, water/ food.. common?
6. I'm unable to build a connection with this drama due to the lack of its essence or depth!

Well, sorry but I really must mention the "You are my hero" drama here. Even though it had its + and -, it was still realistic, the characters, their chemistry, the comedy, the story.. their acting everything complimented each other!

Unfortunately I did not find this drama/the script/the cast interesting yet! I'm not sure if this will change if it goes in the same pace. Somewhere I felt that CZY has lost his charm, sad because this was one of the most awaited dramas of the year!
