A questionable first part
I will here only review the first part of the show and is, for the moment, the only part that I saw when I wrote this review. If you want to know more, wait for me to watch it all and see my review for the second part where I'll probably make a conclusion of it.
The starting of the drama was quite intertaining and interesting. We start directly with the plot, the purpose of our protagonist Wei Yichen played by Wang Yibo is revealed and so the show must go on... That's what I thought.
Even if the first three episodes was interesting and quite funny in a ridiculous way - since it's supposed to be a comedy too, the more the story goes, the more the story became quite boring and hard to watch. Characters such as Nan Ruoyi played by Wang Mengli was quite apealing, strong and pretty woman are my weakness, I thought she would have more development since they let us see her more than Wei Yichen, but they just dealt with what they gave us in the first place and did nothing special even after some special events that happened to her, that's a bit sad.
The only character that changed in an interesting and logical way was Afu played by Xu Xiao that came in the second half of the story, sadly not for the best in my opinion. Developing him truthfully was one of the reason why the story became very slow. The way they did it wasn't the best since we do not see these kind of development for the other characters. They tried it sometimes with Wei Yichen, but then they forgot and we're coming back to step one. Same with Duan Muhao played by Zhang Yijie that... oh wait, he has no development at all! Truly frustrating.
With what they gave us as an ending - that frustated me the most, of this first part, I can't really tell if it's good or bad. Developing absolutely nothing except one character for I-don't-even-know-what purpose is not efficient at all. It has potential but we truly feel like they're trying to make the story goes longer and longer and I'm afraid that we're trapped in what I will call in French in a story "sans queue ni tête" (a nonsensical story).
