This review may contain spoilers
Recycled storyline Poor casting
1. I don't follow any artiste. Lead actress looks way too old and lead actor way too young. Despite the strong lighting and make up Together they still look like a young mother and son. Especially close up. Don't ever cheat your audience.
2. There are many mini plots within Drama which is very good. However not all are nicely done. E.g the plot in which the lead actress was kidnapped by an old women and her tranvestite son, the plot was finished abruptly and over simplified.
3. OK the lead actor is good looking which is a good thing but he does have an accents and looks dumb and expressionless most of the time. When you combined him with an exoerienced aunty it really sucks. The actress is obviously good but predictable expression meaning limited maybe because of Botox. Luckily she didn't try to act cute.
4. My biggest frustration with drama be it any language is At the most urgent and drastic moment the actors or actresses stand there stood still and speak their lines of exchanged dialogue before they move. I don't think in real life anyone would act that way.
A drama is like a pot of soup with the correct combination of ingredients. The soup itself is the whole narrative. If you add too much salt or spice, or add an overdue ingredient or an undersize prawn your favorite soup can be disastrous.
That's my 3 cents worth. You don't like my opinion So be it I thought this would be a very good drama after reading reviews. Its still good to watch and I am slightly disappointed overall. I do hope there's improvement in the future for Chinese drama
