Starts Strong But Fizzles Out
I am shocked I finished this. But here we are.
It had some good moments; but “Miss Truth” falls prey to the pitfalls of many Chinese dramas: poor pacing and unbelievable twists.
Pros:
• The love triangle was one of the best I’ve ever seen in a drama (until the end which was so bizzare). It made the two leads getting together all the more satisfying.
• Chemistry of the leads - They were amazing together. Acting between them was so natural, and it left me longing for their scenes together.
• The scrappy FL is strong and flawed in a lovable way. Great acting on her part too. Would love to see more of her.
• Overarching plot was also good!
Cons:
• Awful, awful pacing. I skipped through a ton, and I wouldn’t have finished it if not.
• The plot twists were out of hand. Most of them were just straight up absurd and made no sense to the story. I was so freaking done with them that, by the end, when the real villain was revealed I actually rolled my eyes.
• The way the FL treated the ML for a majority of the storyline got too much for me. I was actually getting irritated with her right before they got together. Plus, when it finally happened, we barely saw them together and we got one kiss haha.
Would I recommend it? Not sure.
