Melodrama and tons of misunderstandings.
I started this drama for Liang Jie, she's adorable, I love her voice and she's really good at comedies. I feel like the best part of the drama were the actors, however that doesn't mean the relationship worked.
To sum up the entire drama is by one word: MISUNDERSTANDINGS.
1.) In one episode, there is a misunderstanding between FL and ML.
This could be EASILY fixed by a CONVERSATION.
2.) They fight, bicker, do silly stuff, like say how much they hate each other and do selfish actions.
3.) One or two episodes later, it's all cleared up by **GASP** a conversation. And it's all lovely eyes again.
4.) And then it's back to one again, rinse and repeat this cycle for the ENTIRE drama. I think there is about a DOZEN misunderstandings the main leads goes through.
With that said, this trope can be for some folks. It's super angsty and the tension is mega high when you watch the drama. You can see early on when the misunderstandings will happen, so it's like watching a slow motion car crash that is about to impact.
Some people like this stuff, I, however do not.
On the bright side, I enjoyed Joseph Zeng's acting and even though his character was horrible in the beginning, you actually feel bad for the guy as you go on and he grows on you.
The last part of the drama is more politics and I kind of wanted that to be a little more in the middle. I just had a problem with the pacing and the overall plot.
The whole plot is driven by the couple misunderstanding each other, so they break up and get together throughout the drama and it's all to make the series .... well, dramatic.
Overall, I could have been fine passing on this drama, but the actors really made me want to complete the series. Just go into story watching a couple fight, break up and then makeup again.
