Wasted Talent
I decided to drop this drama after watching the 6th episode as I was bored out of my mind. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Wu Lei having watched his previous dramas in Nirvana in Fire, The Long Ballad, Nothing But you and Love like the Galaxy, but even my fondness for him was not enough to sustain my interest in such a flat storyline.
What kept me going past the 1st episode was my anticipation and hope that the story would pick up and offer something more complex and interesting, but sadly what I see so far is more scenes of OCD-stalkerish Lin Yiyang with major hangups and a bruised ego finding solace in the warmth of a shy, impressionable, sheltered Yin Guo. The only thing that seems to progress is their deepening level of physical intimacy, from cold-staring, knee-bumping, head-stroking, hugging, full on kissing etc. The other characters appear rather insignificant because most of the screen and script time is taken up mostly by the relationship between these 2 characters. I know it's primarily meant to be a sweet romance drama, but honestly I was hoping for something more sophisticated than regular plain vanilla. After all, it's Wu Lei!
Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels disappointed with this drama so far..
