Andy Lau and Ning Li were the highlights of this movie. Too many English-speaking actors though, I don't watch Chinese movies to hear that disgusting American accent.
The cast is really getting tedious to watch. The male lead Pan Yue Ming has become so old and obese that he should be running a noodle shop in Beijing. Fatty is insufferable and dumb as always.
I hope they will hire new actors if they plan to continue with the series.
I think the rating is justified. This drama falls a bit flat as a romance due to lack of chemistry between the leads and weak points in the script. There are also better time-travel dramas and crime dramas out there. Overall 8/10.
His talent is wasted on sappy romances. He should be playing a Bond type character, a formidable secret agent working for the Chinese MSS who kills evil Americans for breakfast.
I hope they will hire new actors if they plan to continue with the series.
