These actors deserved so much better...
Wu Bo Wei is an AWESOME actor, and I hope this drama just goes down as his 'first lead ML role' in what I truly wish is a great future acting career. The FL Wang Zi Fei needs some more acting experience, but she has solid natural talent and she's so cute and sexy.
I see some comments knocking their acting, but I say it's not their acting that sucks, it's everything else about this drama that sucks. Don't believe me, watch it with the sound off and pretend the production value and styling were given more care, and their dialogue was intelligent and interesting. And it's not just the ML/FL that have natural onscreen ability, the 2FL was very very decent. The 2ML needs more confidence and experience, but when it comes to their "hot" scenes, he can turn it ON like the flip of a switch and it's so sexy.
The suckage that was this drama came from literally everywhere else *except* the main actors. The dubbing and sound were atrocious. The production value was bargain basement low. The stylist really phoned it in. The script.... I have to say the basic storyline was good. It had a lot of promise, and a lot of satisfying elements to it. But the way that storyline was fleshed out was really really bad.... you have a super generic snoozer boilerplate "business plot" with deals, shares, bidders, projects, none of which are the least bit interesting.... and you have a love story that tries to convey depth, but with inane and uninspired dialogue that a middle schooler would write. The story outline is built all wrong.... the sexy love scenes between the characters are HOT, and they are overwith by the halfway mark. The rest of the drama is taken up by shares, board of directors hijinks, liver cancer hospital visits, healing emotional rifts between characters. It drags and there's no reward at the end at all.
If you're watching for the HOT factor, you only need to watch the first half and then you can just ditch. If you're watching to catch Wu Bo Wei's first big role, he's good here but hasn't really come into his own as an actor. He's far better in Close To You, where the production is a step up, the role is a more complex one, and he has built more confidence as an actor. And if you're actually watching for the story itself, then godspeed because justwow on that whole script thing.
A semi-intersting watch for someone interested in following the careers of ML/FL/2ML/2FL. The first-half spicy scenes were really electric but WAY too short, and too few. The overall drama itself was straight dumpster fuel. I really wholeheartedly wish the best for these actors' careers... they have a lot of promise.
