I will persevere cause it's sorely needed if you plan to watch this.
This was my opinion when I watched the first 4 episodes ---->I will persevere to watch this s***show just so I can give an honest review and help fellow befuddled and indecisive souls navigate through which episodes they should watch so that they may survive this train wreck.
This is my opinion after finishing ---->Save yourselves!
Story:
An average storyline with a premise that sounds quite similar to many other C-drama shows. There are some funny scenes but I found majority of them pretty cringe-worthy so I couldn't really laugh! Its full of tropes but the sad part is these weren't leveraged intelligently enough to endear us to the characters.
On the bright side if you liked 'The romance of tiger and rose', you'll probably like this one too. but then again, don't hold your breath.
I am oscillating between picking between 'the plot sucks' to 'there is no plot' for this show so, I'll go with 'the plot is very weak'. The story is all over the place. As a lot of reviewers have mentioned the plot for the first half is quite different from the second half.
Acting:
Over the top!
Why do dramas think viewers are all dense? Do they have to beat us with their supremely exaggerated expressions so that we may understand how they feel? I give a 6 cause it's not a fault of the actors but a problem with the script.
ZL & XKC seem like an unlikely pairing. There romantics scenes were pleasant to watch so I think that's very much a plot/story problem.
Overall:
I pretty much fast-forwarded the whole show. So, my honest opinion is 'don't bother!'.
If you are a fan of ZL, it's safe to say watch something else cause even she can't save this one from the drama gutter. But if you still persist then watch clips on youtube before taking on this difficult task.
