Rewatch Value 1.0

All talk, no substance

Plot: has potential; it's a letdown
Production: kinda meh and the reason why soundtrack/scenes were mediocre
Soundtrack: none in the first 8 episodes. It's done the usual way of chinese productions: recording every sound after the filming is done and has no notable music or anything yet and probably won't.
Intro: Great visuals. Might be the best thing of the whole show
Acting: can't tell because the plot and production are subpar in this form. The actors are decent, but most of the scenes feel mediocre at best and this is because of production/script
Overall: You can find much better shows. It isn't worth the time even if they have a banger for the finale(which I can say from what I've surveyed, it's not)


The story has a nice start with a big potential to be development in many ways from rom-com, melodrama to about anything.
After watching 8 episodes(almost a third of the entire series), it's all just talk about roundabout ways, plot has no substance, nothing exciting, no action scenes, no notable comedy/romance or plot twist scenes(the ones done are subpar and feels like a highschooler written and produced this as his first piece without any experience).

After the starting 2 episodes you get 6 episodes of talks and nothing done. Characters just sitting there and doing nothing.
To sum it up: it's a show that should have maybe 8-12 episodes instead of 30, but they dragged it along the way for the money. I know better indian shows where they dramatized a scene with 1 minute of eerie soundtrack and face closeup that are better than the scenes where the characters do absolutely nothing. Even the talks are so boring and with no substance/plot setting intention. They are there just to be there like a guy that when he wants to tell a story about how he got his first pension, he starts with the moment he is born even though he has to leave in 5 minutes. Good luck listening 30 hours of a story from which maybe...MAYBE...2 are worth it.
