So much wasted potential.
Like I've stated before, Cdramas continue to stay further behind Kdramas. Over the past few years, there have been some really good dramas out of China, but they have almost always involved the most famous cast members with larger budgets. The FL here finally has her big break after When I fly towards you, but you can tell she's trying so much. She's insanely talented, no doubt, but she can't fix this mess. It really seems like they picked random people out of the street and just forced them to read lines to each other. It's that bad, there's just zero chemistry between cast members. The delivery of the lines, the writing itself, the plotlines that make little sense. It's horrendous.
I'll give a few examples, but I'll be quick. They have a relationship contract so that the FL's mother can stop annoying her. That's it, that is literally the reason why they agree to it. Then 9 episodes later filled with plotlines that could have been done in ONE episode, they decide to get married for some reason. Because why not? They hadn't even kissed btw. Then there's the problem with the weddings. They all have weddings, but no one to officiate them. No family. The FL has her parents show up in about 3 episodes, but that's about it. It's explained that the ML lost his mom when he was young and only has his aunt and a jobless father who gambles. Even so, it was extremely weird that they just glossed over weddings and missed out on potential scenes to demonstrate a coherent plot. The supports are even worse, with an editor forcing the female support to "find love soon" so she can find inspiration for her latest book. None of it makes logical sense. Their marriage on the beach was a little bit cute though. Depiste the fact that there is no guests, no officator, and not even the camera man is shown. Someone is just "mysteriously" taking pics.
The worse offender? The writers forget the age of their own characters. They end up getting married at 29. Their support and best friends marry and quickly have a kid. Six years pass, and the main leads still have no baby. By this time, they are at least 35 or 36. Finally , they talk about having a baby and miracously have one nine months later. I can't make any of this up. The writers literally expect the audience and the story to remember them as 29 year olds in love.
Anyhoo, sorry for the uneven review. I'm currently writing this at midnight and keeping it under five minutes. Why? Because this drama should have been dropped within that time frame. Don't make the same mistake I did. That being said, I do hope the FL is cast again in a main role. She's absolutely wonderful, and they did her dirty here.
