Draggy and Miscasting of FL
I watched it because of the ML (William Chan). It started out strong, but 1/3 of the way into the series I started skipping a lot. Repetitive, draggy scenes.
The Good:
- ML (William Chan) - while he's not the best actor, I do enjoy watching him. He's charming and has a way to exude an adorable sweetness. But this is the 4th drama in a row that I've binged watched of William Chan and I've noticed that he tends to lack chemistry w/ the female leads in every series. I'm not sure if it it's him, or miscasting of the female leads. The only person he had chemistry with was Sandra Ma in Age of Legends, it was decent but not strong chemistry.
- 2nd ML (Guo Jia Hao) who played the best friend - he was very likeable and I rooted for him.
- The villains played their role well especially Ruan Tai Yuan, she displayed an underlying creepy psychotic aspect with a small streak of morality.
The Bad:
- FL (Gulnezer Bextiyar) who played Maggie is beautiful w/ stunning eyes. However she's not the right casting for this role as a tough FBI/CIA special ops captain. She was not believable at all. She's way to dainty and her wardrobe was ridiculous - always looking like she came from a high fashion show. The action scenes and her holding a gun was comical.
- Draggy and repetitive scenes. I skipped a lot
- Unrealistic scenes. For example - Lin Jun Jie a tough agent w/ exceptional martial arts skills kept getting captured. And in one scene he was tied up and tortured for days on end, ripped clothes, bloodied, swollen, etc. Yet when he finally gives in and gives the villains what they want...the next scene he suddenly looks fine, clean cut, no injuries at all.
- Some of the wardrobes were ridiculous and unrealistic. The women working in MOIS - even nerdy computer experts dressed way too fashionable with mini skirts and high heels. Meng Lien w/ the one eye - his wig looked so fake. Mandala the female assassin that was imprisoned in a maximum security cage - yet she had perfect hair and makeup? Made no sense.
- The dubbing of the foreign characters sounded so silly, especially when they spoke English.
