Dragging. Forced subplot. Unnatural dialogue.
40 episodes is truly too long. It's dragging in general and forced plot would pop up from time to time. The last straw for me would be at ep27 with an irrational scene that shows how unprofessional job the writer team has done.
A sister/friend of ML has died suddenly, which has a big impact on ML. ML decides to leave home without telling anyone for a while to stay alone at a little village in the mountain. His family is very worried while FL has an idea where he would be, so she follows him and meets him when he bungee jumps and almost dies.... There're quite a few weird things here. Let me point them out one by one...
1. At the bungee jump spot, there's only ML without any staff, but that place is fully equiped for bungee jumping. ML's legs are properly roped. - How come no staff? Where the equipments come from then? Who helps him tie his legs?
2. ML carries his traveling backpack while bungee jumping......??!
3. Then he jumps, and the rope is tied for the distance that ML would dip into the lake below, but it isn't a dip. The rope never bounces and everyone concerning to the business leaves ML head stays in the water for as long as he stops breathing eventhough the rope is still tightly tied to his legs. No one drags him up. No rescue team preparing at the lake, either. FL is the one who jumps into the lake and drags him to the bank and gives him CPR. - Wow... really?? No staff around to the point that no one makes any kind of moves when his head stays in the water that long?? And what the hell with the rope not bouncing?? This is so anti-science.
4. There's surely some error along the bungee process. The ML says himself that he has thought thoroughly before bungee jumping, but this still happened which almost made him die. So, he doesn't intend to commit suicide, there's some error, but no one around to take responsibility at all? Like... there's not only staff but no people at all. Not even a crowd to poke their noses. And then, the bungee jumping accident has just passed. No one cares that it happened even the ML and FL....
For the acting.... Zhao Lu Si's acting here is quite unnatural, esp. the last scene when she has the last conversation with ML's father - both her acting and the dialogue are unnatural and awkward. Though the dialouge is awkward, the acting of ML's father is passable, which emphasizes how lacking Zhao Lu Si's acting is when the plot and dialogue given to her are also lacking. (She's normally done her proper jobs when delivering proper plot and dialogues.)
Luo Yi Zhou's acting is surprisingly passable. It's passable on averge, but if considering this is one of his first acting jobs (it's his first series), he's done quite a good job.
