General Abs

I saw this for the Abs. Was not disappointed. The leads and second lead actually performed really well. Kissing scenes were ????They definitely did not shy away from those scenes. Although the female lead seemed to have swapped brains with a pigeon, the actress performed it really well. I might be blinded by his abs but the ML was also great in his performance of a domineering, trigger happy but brain dead inlove General. Saving grace in the plot movement was Liutenant Liu, bless his brain. The 2nd lead was very 2D in his evilness but also a little brain dead, he's a manipulative turd with the conscience of a rat. The actor was so convincing in this role that I might prolly just tag him as evil in any other role he will play in the future.

If you are looking for great storyline with great character development, better move along you won't find that here. But if you are looking to be entertained and/or just looking for a way vent your frustrations out watch this and shout away at your screen because will give you a LOT of reasons to scream.

Funny and lighthearted drama with CZY owning the "Villainous" hero

If you are looking for a lighthearted drama with a splice of comedic interludes here and there by the ML, you've got your show.

The fantasy elements were not distracting and although it should've been integral to everything in the plot, it was all in the back burner and were only addressed when it was convenient. This is a modern drama through and through. Most of the conflicts were resolved within an episode which was nice since I would probably have lost interest midway if the conflicts were dragged out for more than 2 episodes. The characters were consistent throughout the series, and their character growth were nice. Just don't try to make sense of the novel/drama logic in this. It'll definitely give you a headache. Just go with the feels, the feels are good.

Although I do think the actors were the perfect fit for their roles, I find that their chemistry was a little off and awkward. There were times that ML was sweet and swoon worthy but then I feel nothing from the FL and vice versa. Maybe it's just me but heck. I love them individually, maybe I need another drama with these two together to feel the chemistry.

The 2nd couple, skippable as their romance/storyline was, they were great support to the FL and ML. 2ML's clueless/dense boss character was funny, I really liked him for that. His moping around tho, I had no patience for.

The OST I think was the biggest weakness of this. Having a peppy lovesong playing as bgm was a bit distracting from the serious love confession/sombre discussion between the characters sometimes.

Overall, I had a great time watching this one even though I was on the verge of losing interest here and there, but it was either CZY or NanXing's character that drew me back in and continued this. I'm rather on the fence about the ending for this one though. I'll just go with the happy feels.
