Interesting bits and pieces but mostly slow and boring
Sorry, can't finish this one. I've really enjoyed other drama by these 2 mains but this one falls flat for me. Feels contrived and uber slow.
I see romantic gestures, words and actions; he says sweet things, he is very dedicated, straightforward, and captured with love of first sight. But as another reviewer said... "Leo Wu so stiff & expressionless, like he doesn't know what to do with his character, trying to portray someone deeply pained [and unknowingly lovestruck] but not quite getting it." He comes across creepy with stalker vibe looks. He's slightly less creepy once they start dating. Unfortunately, he continues to question her relationships and outings without talking to her directly. He shows up unannounced out of jealously or inconveniences others by borrowing money to put up a false sense of self (i.e. you can barely afford to eat out or travel but you cull favors to let her think you have no limits or issues) is not great in my opinion. Honestly comes out more later but I'm already bored so will leave it as is for now. If I ever finish this and feel otherwise I'll come back to update this review.
For now, I'll wait for Leo's next project. Still a big fan of his, just not a fan of this drama.
The FL is talented and much more likable and prettier here than she was in her previous dramas but still finding her a bit dull. She's cute and all but something - not sure what keeps me from being a true fan. I loved Princess Royale and quite enjoyed one of her 1st lead roles in ALTCFL. She's so surprisingly young. She has a lot of potential for her age.
