Really appreciate this post because it gives me a better understanding of the production details.
I watched F&E before watching O&O. It's quite a nice experience actually, coz it functions like a heart strengthening jab, I won't cry a river because O&O is so heart breaking.
I love the cinematography too. Every scene in the ZhouSheng estate is gorgeous! I can't help wondering about the architecture design of the mansion and how people can live in a mansion that is so open aired in modern times. I can only imagine that it must be very cold in winter and the mansion looked so under insulated with all its wooden and paper windows.
Perhaps my understanding isn't correct but I had the impression that the ZhouSheng doesn't own any business. They are pure investors, their income is dividend. In normal world, families like these won't go into nitty gritty details of what's happening in the factory. They also won't test polluted water samples in a lab😅 They have fund managers to manage their investments.
Like you, I also find the story slightly under developed especially when they have so many fantastic supporting casts playing family servants. It reminds me a bit of Downtown Abbey except in Downtown Abbey, the world of the servants were well portrayed telling us the story of how the lives of nobles changed with times.
Another puzzling point about F&E - the ZhouSheng family looked like a family that exist for generations - How did their avoid getting massacred during the Cultural Revolution and keep their wealth? Or did they just recently bring home their funds to invest in China and had been keeping their wealth overseas all these while ?
We have been spoiled in the US with the era of so called peak TV. But I can think of no drama that surpasses the…
I became a fan of Shih Bo Yu. I think I would watch all his dramas from now on. I hope casting directors would cast him for deeper and meaningful dramas coz he definitely has a face for sub plot within sub plot kind of stories.
Grew up watching Tat Suuk in TVB dramas. Rest in peace, will always remember you.

I love this review too. I found this drama so crappy that I gave up after 3 episodes I think. The OST part is spot on, what crappy songs in all the wrong scenes.
And the lead actress was just expressionless. Goodness... Don't waste time watching this.
don't bother to talk to him. that user is probably just a troll. he created new acc just to hate this drama lol…
You do you.
Just be aware that your comments are judgemental, because you used your ruler to measure everyone. This is the internet age where ppl of all age, all over the world is participating in conversations. You shld realise that ppl hv different opinions and there is no right or wrong answer to a review. If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you will need to learn to respect someone's position.
Remember your actions today, the part where you put ppl in a little corner and judge them.
When it happens to you in the future, you know why you are in that position.
Have a good day. Won't engage in any kind of replies with you anymore.

1. Ppl don't live their lives on MDL 2. Ppl update their reviews as and when they have time to do marathon watching 3. Are newbies being discriminated from posting any reviews, or all newbies must post positive reviews first, then only negative reviews? This way, no one will call them troll. 4. Am just gobsmacked that people wld actually spend time to update watchlist. Where do you find time to do this? Just click on the review button to review and that's it.

Please take note everyone has the freedom to make a positive or negative review on any drama/ movie. This drama did not appeal to me, it may appeal to you. It isn't necessary to call someone who dropped this drama a hater or a troll . Only children do this kind of things. We all have our own opinions to things. I don't force you with mine , you don't force yours on me.
Let's not make My DramaList a phony site where ppl are only allowed to give positive review. Coz that's not objective and it will spoil the reputation of this website.
