The whole series felt like a “dump your head into an aquarium” experience.
All girl-disguised-as-a-boy trope dramas are a bit illogical anyway… and Taiwanese dramas just seem to have their own unique filming style, I guess.
The good part?
Well, there has to be something good, because I watched it twice over a span of six years.
I guess this trope is one of my favourites, even if it wasn’t executed very well here.
I also found the SML interesting (not perfect but okay)— it just didn’t make sense to make him suffer when we know she can’t love him.
The bad part?
There are so many issues that it becomes hard to even list them.
I don’t want to compare it to billion-dollar-budget K-dramas/C-dramas, but the actors could’ve been a bit more sincere at times.
Especially the ML — his slow running and swimming in the first few episodes were way too obvious, just to highlight her “strength.” Either use better editing or train the actors properly for the role.
The FL is often frustrating… but that’s nothing new for drama watchers.
Overall:
It’s a light, fast watch. It’s a bit of a burden to sit through, and it’s also not something amazing that you’ll regret missing or feel like you’ve never seen before, but if you might enjoy at least a few parts ..it wont feel boring as long as u skip here and there some scenes..
