An irksome female character that makes me want to bang my head against the TV..
it is an injustice to this promising show with a beautiful male lead.
I'll start off with my verbal diarrhea before I go to the good parts.
Weiwei, her character sucks. Surely, I am not the only one who thinks so? The only redeemable quality of Weiwei is her "Pikachu" powers... or is it? Yeah, I get it she got this static electricity condition, she's young, she's had a hard time in high school, yada yada yada... but it's not an excuse to be so dishonest, never forthcoming and always lie. She didn't even treated her friend well, like can you not apologise? Either her character is a total idiot or just likes to string along two guys at the same time. Come on, not all girls are like that you know?
It is insufferable how unfair she treated the ML and SML on the first half of this show. I understand the intent with the love triangle. The show needed some angst, but surely there are other effective less annoying ways to convey this. Her character could have, should have been better.
This was even made worse with her character styling and her overall look. Why is she styled so terribly? I don't understand the need for a bad haircut and frumpy clothes. The styling made her look bad deliberately. And last but not the least, the FL actress. I have seen a lot of dramas and very forgiving on acting... but the actress' performan ce is very "meh".
Now that's out of the way... we need to talk about Zhang Ling He. This upcoming actor is not just a beautiful face, but this man can act. He got a very expressive eyes. I picked up Sparkle Love because of ZLH and watching it in parallel with Maiden Holmes. You wouldn't know he is a new actor based on his performance. He did fairly well in this show, while it wasn't a heavy melodrama, he nailed his scenes. Unfortunately for the FL, being paired to him made her acting look mediocre.
The story is light and fluffy. Its about your usual overbearing jock with personal issues, falling in love with your typical girl with a special condition. And just to make it interesting, they mixed it up with likable secondary characters.
While Zhang Ling He is a total babe and I can watch him for days, I have stopped around episode 16/17, just because I find the FL irksome. I don't think its about the chemistry either, the FL just doesn't have that spark (pun intended), its flat. I haven't had my mojo back to pick it back up and watch, but maybe I will one of these days.
