Aieesh

I made a short list of C actors who are limited in range either because they can’t emote or are one-trick ponies who play a specific type of character. Sadly, our male lead tops the list. How on earth did he become an actor when all he does is look pretty and/or melancholic while giving the audience absolutely nothing?

Who made the executive decision to cast him as the lead? I mean judging by the quality of props and CGI it’s evident this is as low budget as they come; therefore, it makes sense that the actor’s pay would only attract B and C-list actors and maybe he was the only one to accept the lowball offer. These are conjectures, however, if taken into context then it makes sense as to why the production could only cast newbies.

Likewise, the plot was just laughably flawed. It painted our hero as not being very bright otherwise how could he have been so taken by a woman to the point he lost all sense of self-preservation? And clearly, he must not have been that powerful if that deranged and obsessed woman could take him down without a fight. Sigh

Lastly, the FL actress tried her darnest to carry the drama alas, it was an uphill struggle that even she, being as pretty and charming as she was, couldn’t achieve.
