A Tedious and Illogical storyline ruined by weak performances
For me, the drama started off decently the first five episodes were acceptable. However, from that point on, everything spiraled downward. The pacing became painfully slow, and the cringe moments, instead of adding charm as they sometimes do in other dramas, only made the experience worse.
The acting was another major letdown, especially from the male lead. His performance lacked expression and felt stiff to the point of lifelessness. I honestly have no idea how he was cast for this role perhaps solely based on appearance but his lack of skill was glaring. The chemistry between the characters was nonexistent it felt like watching robots recite lines rather than people bringing a story to life.
The storyline itself lacked both meaning and logic. Instead of delivering a clever or engaging plot, the writing descended into absurdity. Even the portrayal of the family dynamics made no sense. I wanted to drop the drama after episode five, but I continued in the hope of improvement only to be left utterly disappointed.
This might be one of Zhou Lusi’s worst works. I genuinely don’t understand how it’s receiving high ratings perhaps it’s simply a matter of personal taste. For me, however, it was a ridiculous, boring mess that wasted my time. Rewatching is out of the question, and frankly, I wouldn’t recommend watching it even once. Every character was mediocre, the story was nonsensical, and the overall execution was a complete failure.
