The script had an interesting element or another, but the writer created characters that weren't captivating. At first the female protagonist is irritating and the male protagonist does not arouse any empathy. The 'villains' are characters without a defined history, little is said about them. The supporting characters, for the most part, do not captivate, as they are irritating or bordering on idiocy. The open ending wouldn't even be the worst thing if it was well-crafted.
The cast is made up of good actors, but the performances in this drama are far below what they usually present. The only really convincing performance is by guest star Leon Lai, by the way, it's not the first time that his work has caught my attention, even though he's a supporting actor like in Ancienty love poetry, Legend of Fu Yao, The flame's daughter or Love in flames of war your work is exceptional.
Regarding the protagonist couple, I have doubts if there was a lack of 'chemistry' between the actors or if they just did their best to compose such insipid characters.
Voice capture is a separate issue, as the voice was not always consistent with the actors' expressions. Some felt like they were just reading the text without any emotion. The Santa Negra character's laugh was ridiculous, as it didn't fit at all with the actress's expression.
The soundtrack is very harmonious, the costumes are well designed and the effects used are pleasant to look at.
Regarding the direction, I think the director missed the chance to take advantage of excellent actors, even though the script is not spectacular, a good direction can correct some deficiencies in the text and create a memorable work. The direction took the drama very slowly, took care of the visual editing and got distracted in the gaps left by the plot, as well as in the care of the editing with the voices.
This is a drama I watched and I couldn't either laugh or cry from start to finish.
