News Anything but Radiant
The literal translation of the Chinese title is a "Radiant City". However, this is anything but radiant. Most of the characters did not display much depth, with this being particularly obvious with the main antagonist. One would expect a better display of wit and scheming for that role, and yet what was shown was largely his/her tantrums and demands on surrounding people to deliver what s/he wants regardless of the process. It is also illogical as to how there seemed to be a near complete lack of evidence to convict the antagonist on his/her wrongdoings throughout the series.
There also seemed to be a lack of a proper character to the antagonist who can outwit him/her, and certain actions by characters in the show did not have much logic to it except to fulfil some instant gratification. While it was pleasant to see some long-time artistes in this show, it is disheartening to know that they're wasted on this script.
