huh?? there weren't any except for when her foot was injured, what are u talking about. if you are talking about…
Girl, foot fetish isn't literal; it was obviously online slang. My point was that the drama uses an unusually high number of lower leg, shoe, and walking shots.
If you didn't notice them, that's fine. I did. I've been watching every episode, and it's part of a broader pattern I've noticed: excessive bgm, constant ding sound effects, frequent camera movement, repeated close-ups, double shots, heavy blur/bokeh effects that can be overstimulating, especially for photo-sensitive viewers and some sloppy transitions/cuts. Not gonna mention the AI. There are surprisingly few full-body compositions compared to how often the camera focuses on legs, shoes, or tight close-ups.
You don't have to agree with my opinion, but please don't tell me what I did or didn't see. We simply noticed different things. For me, the cinematography is terribly executed. ZLH and WCR's performances and how the story unfolds, are what's keeping me watching.

Are you serious? There have been plenty of foot shots. From Murong Qingyi's mom's first entrance, Murong Qingyi's own entry, Ren SuSu buying flowers and her entry, the German lady's intro, SuSu walking away from the memorial hall, scenes on the ship... the list goes on. I get that the director is going for an artistic style, but when the same type of shot keeps showing up, it starts to feel excessive and becomes jarring.
For those who've watched it!! qq - is it full of gore? I started the first episode and there were so many slithering creatures (I have herpetophobia). Do they show up often throughout the series? I really want to watch it because I love Nam Joo Hyuk's acting. Please tell me!
Soooo, I just finished the first 5 episodes and I just wanna share my thoughts.First of all, I didn’t really…
Lol, these unhinged camera cuts, I’m fully expecting the characters to start spinning dramatically while a tragic title track plays on loop in the background. major flashbacks to the Hindi serials my mom used to watch.
Those name pop ups with the sound effects felt like I was watching a YouTube drama. Personally, they kept breaking my immersion. There were also a lot of water reflection shots and foreground framing, which made me think the director must have been a cinematographer before. It's a good thing visually, but at times it didn't feel very smooth. Overall, though, I'm enjoying the story from episode 3 onwards, and both leads are just 🔥
Also for those saying they don't understand the audit or business arc. Tbh that whole business arc revolves around…
If only Chen Yi had pointed out Monster Bin's hiding spot in that scrap building... he'd have been dust by now, feeding the trees as fertilizer. We could've avoided all this angst and heartbreak for my already traumatized cuties; and for the officer and his wife too.
Why do i feel like so many people just gloss over Miao Jing's pain from the past. The girl has severe abandonment…
Yes! Actually they really should've shown scenes from the six years she was away; how she coped, what her life was like, whether she ever tried to contact Chen Yi, why she ultimately decided to come back... anything to show that she suffered too.
Keeping Chen Yi's flashbacks for later is fine, but for the past nine episodes they've mostly shown her trying to provoke an emotional reaction out of him by acting cool and aloof, smirking, and then kissing him. It doesn't make sense.
The director completely missed the depth of her character's suffering. Being abandoned by the person who raised you and was your entire world should've left emotional scars that we, as the audience, could actually see. Instead, we're expected to infer all of it while watching her play mind games with Chen Yi.

Atp, only watching it for my girl Chu Ran and Ling He!
Now bring on Chu Ran's shining moments. I know they're coming.💃🏻❤️🔥
Chen Yi - " The Window is broken, how can it be nice?"
Miao Jing - " You can fix it"
Three lines, and somehow an entire healing journey.❤️🩹
Ren Su su💃♥️

Make it make sense, Director.
