I came into this with expectation not low enough
I liked TSOU, so I had similar expectations. The plot sounded good, but the actual show dragged on. A lot of the plot of four episodes could be told in one episode. The beginning is a good 7.8, but now it's more of a 6.After watching ep 13, all I gotta say is.. what the actual fuck is this plot???? I wanna like it, I really do, it takes a lot for me to actually wanna drop a show AS SOMEONE WHO WATCHED BLANK and LOVE SENIOR AND FINISHED THEM AND FOUND THEM TO BE OKAY. Whoever wrote this shit can start counting their days. I'm sure this really is not Ling and Orm's fault and happened to land on a poorly executed project since they can't really refuse the scripts they get. i just hope CH3 will do better in the future, cuz this was straight up ass

This show was the first time I did not binge-watch a Chinese drama. Honestly it became an everyday routine, and I'll miss them. the plot was great, the acting is amazing, i was rooting for my girl xuyan since day one and im so happy she got her happy ending!!!Was this review helpful to you?
maybe i was bias
I watched Blank as it was coming out and was not really aware of the plot of the show, all I knew was that Faye was in it. honestly she was honestly the reason I really tuned in. The first episode lowkey weirded me out since the other main actress looked so young, but found out she was of age, so I kept watching.1) I did see a lot of comments that said that "Yoko" the younger actress, and Faye looked like mother and daughter, and I would not say that was the case. yoko has a young-looking face, and Faye has a very mature "aura", so i get where the comments came from, but it was exaggerated. the grooming allegation were too much ( i would not say the same for that book tho...)
2) Maybe if they aged up the characters a bit, it would not be as bad? starting it off with the younger one in highschool was... definitely a choice, even if she was an adult but the plot got a little better from there.
3) I think blank was good at the time because of the lack of content at the time ( and Faye was in it). comparing blank with alot of shows that are out now, blank would have a pretty hard time.
4) I was biased while watching the show past the 3rd episode. NOW rewatching it was clear eyes, the show was mid, though not as bad as it was said online, it was not the GREAT either, and quite controversial.
5) Do watch the show before judging. some of you might not like it, and that's understandable, other might like it, and that's also okay. form an opinion AFTER WATCHING.
6) Nothing in this series should happen in real life, because it's fiction. its contains elements of stalking, abuse, and harassment, so that might be too much for some.
