Where is my chest pain inducing angst?
Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng's acting was great. Everything else was questionable. They wasted so much time on trying to throw plot twists at the viewers that they forgot they still had characters and a story to develop. This was very underwhelming and it's a shame because two of my favorite actors were the main leads.
I finished the show in the morning, but I had no idea what to rate it. I decided to settle on a 6/10 because Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng did carry this on their backs. I had no issues with their acting, just with their characters in general and the issues the plot was centered around. Honestly, some things were completely unnecessary and the energy wasted on those things could have been better used on other parts of the story which would have been more interesting. All in all, it just made the plot weaker than it already was and never allowed the story to reach its full potential. I was completely detached from the characters and did not care for their fates. I finished it because I liked both main leads and had already watched too much. So, "I might as well finish it".
Feud, where was my tragedy, my angst, my pain? Xiao Jing Shan did give me a good hearty cackles in those last two episodes though. Whether those scenes were actually meant to be funny is another question. But considering the lack of circus music and silly effects, I’m guessing they were meant to be serious. It wasn’t that deep, though. lol
A very generous 6/10
