When you are innocent but dumb that lead to your doom
*Sigh* DEEP HEAVY SIGH
Ambitious writing but disaster in coherence and execution. Over the top emphasis on a CYCLE OF PAIN. Glorified love story. Poorly written female character. The chemistry of the 2 leads that the story painstakingly revolved with is 0 - I skipped all their parts. Honestly, I don't get the rating-it's a bit high considering the repetitive dragged story.
The choice to write an immaculate perfect female character like, "it's her immaculate presence against the deranged lives around her." Made her character act as the "savior" of all the seemingly lost souls and at the expense of her sanity. HAHAHAHA INSANELY RIDICULOUS take to make an impression for these 20 dragging episodes. For the fate she suffered-honestly there were a lot of stupidity in her decisions-extremely dumb over the top innocence-in real life innocence won't save you-it's awareness, clarity and priorities and the grit to make the right decisions in the best way that you can. Easier said than done yes-but in here the female lead even has her best friend who has the best character development- the most levelheaded and as you can see the one who survived despite her background and suffering, she had growing up.
If there's anything the male protagonist and the female lead best friend are the best characters in this. Considering they have the most difficult conditions and mental struggle due to their family situation-yet they have the most character development.
The ensemble of is also good-their acting is really good, and they really carried the ambitious writing of this production. The only thing is the chemistry of the 2 different female leads with the male protagonist are just ZERO difficult to watch I can't even find the comfort that they like to convey in their story- instead of feeling empathetic- I just can't help to scold them like a true parent-like "KIDS you are walking straight into your doom!"
Also-the attempt to touch the concept of mental health-reaching out to those who need it-please no! Don't even think about that-this is just a marketing strategy of glorified pain without actually being grounded. I felt insulted at their take like huh? You made it into thriller-romance-horror-gory type and later claiming it as medium to reach out for mental health awareness-that's peak marketing bull!
My only comfort in this is the actress playing chou pin yu she's such a great actress and also beauty. One to watch out for as a rising actress! VERY little screen time and yet impactful one- I honestly watched this because of her and to my devastation she's almost nonexistent/ OK BYE next time I would read reviews to save my time.
Ending this review with a sigh after starting it sighs of utter disappointment!
