Apart from being handsome and athletic etc Ethan Juan is a really good actor, shame his talent is pretty much wasted here. Lin Kesong, has some good comebacks, but on the whole behaves and looks like a kid , maybe some are into this, but I'm finding it totally cringeworthy watching the lead actors get flirty. IRL Ethan is 40 and she is 23, and seems like she's a pouty 12 yr old in this show. I am actually finding it embarrassing. Evidently the writers have never heard of Me2, as Jiang Quin Fan is basically being an abusive bastard to her and there is no reason why Kesong is putting up with it. Elise is a better match age wise, is psychotically in love with him, and is proving it by trying to poison him, and basically ruin his life. Kesong's cousin has turned unexpectedly unpleasant, Boris is a classic villain, (he's russian with a mustache even) a bunch of "nice" people. Too many villains imao. The whole thing is short on substance, and is relying on Ethans looks, and lots of glamour and some great cooking shots to get by. It's watchable, but I was really impressed with The Legend of Fuyao, a lot of the dialogue was intelligent, the plot was complex, and it was just a great epic love story, and compellingly interesting. Oh well, I guess it's a good pandemic mindless show!!
I'm halfway through ep.8 but something was bothering me so much I had to pause and post here.How is the FL so…
Ha ha ha!! Exactly!!!! This show has gone from an epic beginning - /violent/tragic/intense etc etc up to the reincarnated twins with the "don't trust anyone" intense fear vibe (so well acted) to FL now being relaxed and trusting everyone "sure detective, just take my sister to the hospital...." and the dialogue is now a bit silly and pedestrian considering the back story.
Also noticed KNR wearing Zoolander derelicte trash fashion...WHY???????
Still watching though....but Im preferring Bad and Crazy!!!!
These negative comments are kind of wild to me. The show was clearly made as sort of an homage to a mix of French…
I definitely agree with you, well said. You have clarified why I'm enjoying this so much. I think it's a well paced, beautifully shot series, seriously romantic! Great insight into the glamorous world of fashion. The leads are stunningly attractive, and although SHK often plays roles with that lack of emotion, here we are privy to the back story, and her thoughts, and reticence about emotional attachment, makes for the tension, and build up. Great chemistry between the leads. I can't wait to see how it pans out.
