Absolute phenomenal actors in an extremely disappointing plot.

Absolute phenomenal actors in an extremely disappointing plot. Specially the villains. I think the roles of villains is harder than playing the hero and often goes unappreciated. Only the side were somewhat well written. The sidekicks were the most lovable throughout the entire series and probably the only ones that were well written.

Qiu Ying was a terrible character all the way to the end due to the inexplicable need the writers had of making her so "delicate”, completely contradicting her supposed strong personality. She depended too much on chances that things would get better or the charity of others. The series wrote her "hardships" too unrealistically, and fleeting. There was too much wasted potential in the plot of this drama on account of making it a sweet and pink tinted romance. No matter how much I tried, it was impossible to relate to this pampered, weak and selfish character at all. her dramatic scenes were all dependant of how much she was hated by the villains even if there really was no reason to hate her. She really wasn't extremely talented or successful to warrant it.

The arrival of Fu Mi Ya was a useless, convoluted plot line which served only the purpose of extending the angst. I can see the idea behind this plot was to show that the two mains could overcome adversity, but in reality, it turned Ji Xiang Kong's character into a clueless douchebag, Qiu Ying's character into a jealous, weak loser who gives up on her own boyfriend at the first sign of trouble and Mi Ya's character into a selfish, obsessive, delusional, superficial child who is nothing but an insult to all idols in the world.

All in all, the series was an utter and compete waste of a great plot and even greater cast and crew. Whoever wrote this should work harder to improve themselves.
