Q for those who expressed dissatisfaction with the male lead looking too young and consider droping it or not…
Age happens to be the reason I didn't pick up The Glory of the Tang Dynasty. The lead was suppose to be this guy who did grand political maneuverings to become powerful, and he looks like he's barely out of highschool. The reality was jarring for me and killed my immersion into the story. Then you couple the male lead with the female lead, who looks about 5 years older than him, and it makes her look like she's trying to rob the cradle. They look like a big sister and little brother more than they did a romantic couple. It was just awkward.
The age in Fighter of Destiny seems appropriate though if he's suppose to be really young. I mean, once you really get into it, he doesn't look that young in the series, but pictures outside make him look so.
The romance is really aggravating, especially on the heroine's side. She goes, "I love you. I can't love you. I love you. I can't love you - go away! Oh, nope. I love you."
At ep: 17
Zong Li is so brash and impulsive, not to mention unprofessional, that she keeps screwing things up. It's very annoying.
In the academy she defies orders again and again, but she lives where anyone else would have been killed for the same trespasses. Competent, she is not. Her tendency to jump to wrong conclusions isn't so endearing either.
Don't get me started on the creep factor of the relationship between the old man and one of his students, while he keeps the side piece female instructor on hand. Oh, and he already has a wife waiting for him at home in some village. You'd think he was a casanova but he's more of a Mr. Potato.
In episode 19, she fails her revenge mission, loses the upper hand, and puts her enemy on guard. This is my surprise face : I
Can Hawick not appear in every other drama there is in existence??
He's probably a good actor, but oh my lord he acts a lot. It feels like every other show I pick up he's the male lead.
Bai White is the main male lead in this, and after just having watched Love 020, I can't get the image of him being all shabby and scruffy with those huge nerd glasses out of my head. He's suppose to be the "hunk" in this one, and it's giving me a little difficulty getting into his super cop persona lol.
Was this show about the demon girl or was it about that annoying, spoiled, INFURIATING, brat of an actress girl, who took up practically 80% of the screen time? And then her love story with the annoying VILLIAN of all people? Why should I care? I couldn't give a rat's ass if they both fell off the top of a building together.
In my decades of watching asian dramas, I have never skipped scenes from a series. In this drama, after about the third episode, I skipped all of that wannabe actress' scenes. After that I'm left with a weak, limp noodle of a story between the (supposedly!) main male and female leads, and he's a douche to her in the end and I don't even get a happy ending!
Space ships? Extraterrestrial beings? What?! In whose deluded mind did this pass for a adequate script to be even put on paper?
I only invested in this because I watched Demon Girl 1, and although that was a decent series, it had an ending that was a bit of a "wtf" also.

ps. I probably won't even care if she gets together with anyone. I just want her to kick ass and take names.

You can have an epic romance, but life will probably screw you over anyways.
He has elevated my requirements for male leads so much.
