it's not low budget, but the pacing is so fast, it feels like a mini drama. this drama is all tell, barely show.

they could have portrayed the relationship with her mother, father, and her trauma without making the character so weak and unpalatable. the tug of war between lawyers was unnecessary. it seems like they thought her character was too strong when she stood up for herself in the first couple of episodes, that the writers felt they had to undermine her for the rest of the drama.

neither. she left both of them. then, she left the city.

i can't give mr. fan a pass because he worked to sabotage his partners behind their backs because he would benefit no matter the outcome.

they don't even seem like they like one another. he already put her in danger by hiding money in a company under her name. he seems like he just wants to control her and offend his junior. she seems like she resents him more than likes him and just wants to offend her mother as much as possible. she should find another way to offend her mother that doesn't entrap herself.

what is job security if you're employed by snakes?

the mistress was so smart and confident in the first episode, only to become this stupid, weak, gullible character. too bad. it's a waste of a strong female character.

although, the show is well written and interesting enough to watch, most of the characters and all the lead characters are unlikeable in their own way.

i have. thank you.

apparently my opinion has personal wrong you. i didn't realize you were the hall monitor.

fuck off.

i tried and tapped out. i'm not waiting. there are too many good shows to watch to wait for something that will probably not happen.

their acting is reactive as well. it seems like they move and emote only after receiving off-screen direction. it's unwatchable and a waste of the actor's talent, especially joseph zeng.

i wish this was written well. the concept is nice enough.

they marred this great production with ai. shame.

i liked the quests, but the man in black narrative was too drawn out, obvious, and trite.

we'll see if the abuse is handled in the last episode, but this show seems like it was written to make the person seeking justifiable revenge too psycho to empathize with just to emphasize that the rich and powerful will always get away with the dastardly deeds.

i think they didn't want viewers to empathize with the victim's descendants, so they wrote them as bad characters who harm innocent people and make out of character, nonsensical decisions. it was compelling until the writers lost the plot.

the acting and sound recording (the audio peaks at times, especially when the dog has dialog) aren't great, but the writing and production values make up for them. it's fun and engaging.
