I tried, I really tried.
I dropped this show after episode 18.
I tried my best to like it, I really did. Zhou Yu Tong is easily becoming one of my favorite C-drama actresses and Jasper Liu is so cute. I was so looking forward to this pairing and was hoping for the best but the storyline/plot is ridiculously slow paced and messy. They would jump around during the episode which would break up the flow of dialouge and the setting. This was definitely a production issue. The episodes were drawn out for far too long and the climax was so underwhelming. My main criticism of Zhou Yu Tong is the fact that she can NOT kiss. I despise fish eye/ wide eyed kisses when it’s been the third or fourth kiss, especially paired with Jasper’s reputation of being THEE C-drama kisser. I actually liked his character the most out of all of them. Lying is something I would never condone outside of texts/production. In real life a relationship founded on lies is not ideal, but here it was the main plot so I let it slide… this is a work of fiction afterall. However, the way they had Bai Ling Ling forgive him was so shallow :/ I felt like we really could have had a great female lead in the making, but the writers truly did her dirty with her (lack of) character development. And the way they DRAGGED the second male lead as a love interest, I was beginning to resent him, when he could’ve been a good love rival. What made me drop the show finally was seeing that asshole who confessed to Bai Ling Ling again. I knew the plotline took a major tank after that.
Listen… I’ve had my fair share of bad dramas, but this one TOOK the cake.
I hope they have Jasper and Zhou Yu Tong pairing in a better drama cause they deserved more than this shit storm.
