As realistic as it can get. This is the DRAMA OF THE YEAR 2023. ( I never expected a Chinese drama to be this excellent) I've just finished it, will write a review after a day. Let it settle within me for now :)
After his cheating scandal between his affair with this FL co-star and his GF finding out and then his co-star…
Who cares ? Actors are never committed . And even if they're it fails most of the time. It's his personal life . Watch the drama , enjoy it and go back to your normal life .
You comment as if you are personally affected by this sh8t .
I disagree. May i know on which grounds is The K2 his best project?
It was the vibe. There are some actors that carry an aura . He struggles to act with soft plots that he's been doing recently, rom com doesn't suit him. Just look at the scripts he's chosen post K2 . They're pretty much mediocre. Maybe he's looking for easy money , if that's the case , it's alright . But for an actor , script selection should matter.
I would still say , Thriller Action brings out the best in him.
The irony is that his best project was The K2. After that, it went all downhill for him, and this time he's back with another action.
He can work with action. Other categories don't suit him TBH. Action brings out more in him. And it's not those dumb action but more thrilling complex plot involving action .
Initially, the plot might seem catchy and something new. But that's about it. This drama is superficial to that context. The cliche's work their way. It's a messy rom-com. Your typical you save me, I save you. Develop affection, a bit of mystery drama. Voila happy ending.
The hype dies quickly, and it's too long. The actors are good, the chemistry works but the elegance is missing. They couldn't even revive this drama despite so many kissing scenes.
12 episodes should've made this better. An average drama at best.
PS: The unique thing that I liked was the memory palace visualization. But they failed to carry it forward as well . Quite disappointing.
A stalled project. Horrible. One can watch initial the 2-3 episodes and jump to the last episode, still, the plot isn't over. The writer should be h@nged.
The actors carried the whole script. A major disappointment. These dramas are a major red flag in the industry. The two leads deserved a better script , despite their superb effort with the acting .
So the writer had 2 different scripts for the same scenario and Netflix decided to experiment with the what ifs? 1st season was better, especially the first 8 episodes after that it was a downhill And the second season is mediocre at best, there's no flow to it.
It's the same story done differently and they still managed to do it shabbily.
The direction is such that they're trying to fix and experiment with whatever they can in the 2nd season, hoping it will go right. which is so wrong. They could've done better with this one, especially after the audience's response.
The actors did their best with whatever they could, with plenty of flashy scenes like those imaginative temptation ones, again something which is unique for this one.
You know what, they can reboot it once again and do a better job. The plot has potential.
As a frequent drama watcher, it stings when I see such good scenarios just wither away with mediocre everything. The Chinese have so much potential but waste it more often. Learn from your neighbours, the Koreans. Anyway.

Overshadowed Suzy completely, such was her acting skills.
A new talent in town.
Hope she grows and succeeds.

Should've been 12 episodes only.

Completely Wasted acting talent and potential !

The only reason could be sponsorship .
You sadistic m0r0ns!
Poor effort from the writer to a good plot and amazing chemistry b/w the leads .
