MDL has always been my reference for C-Drama, I always visit to check the rating & reviews of the dramas which I plan to watch and most of the time the overall ratings are in-line with the reality.. Well, except for this one, which made me decide to create an account in MDL only for writing a review.
The problem of this drama is not on the FL, she's just playing the role she's assigned to. There's no significance in the story, only unnecessary misunderstandings (without significant motives) which have been forced into the acts, the acting itself shows almost no emotions. There are a never-ending attempts to be funny but fail every time, they use these annoying background musics a lot trying to make the situation funny, for me that's really annoying these music keeps popping up in every casual scenes (non-serious) that makes it difficult to properly hear what they say.
If it's not funny, don't put those music to force it to look/feel funny, if it's really funny then it will be funny even better without those musics. If this mediocre story is served without those funny attempts maybe it still deserves 6 as the overall score.
The reason I didn't make an account for years while using MDL was because I believe the members here are better and more experienced in writing reviews, but thinking about it, that's very wrong because some people just put 10/10 for everything even when it's obvious not everything is 10/10 even if they liked the drama, that's the reason this one can receive 8.1 score when it's actually unbearable.
I won't drop it, not even skip it, because that's not how I watch movies. I'll finish this drama without even one sec skip, I promise I will change the score if it gets better to be fair, but I doubt it will.. Let's see then. If it stays the same then it means it only gets worse or it stays bad til the end.
