Solid Story Undone by Bad Pacing
Overall, the story is strong and interesting especially between both main couples. The main downfall of this show is bad pacing, which is a serious disservice to the stories and characters. The setup for the plot is too long and there’s not enough time spent on fulfilling the actual romance in my opinion.
Additionally, as many ppl have pointed out, there was small setup sprinkled throughout the episodes for LangTu which had no pay off, which completely gave the impression of bad pacing. I’m not sure if the show runners were trying to effectively pull of a great cliffhanger for a future spin off, but it’s just leading to viewers lashing out.
Personally, if they had extended the show to 18 or 20 episodes and aired twice a week I think the pacing would have been way better, both for storytelling and viewing.
