Wasted my time
~ Please forgive any spelling errors. English is not my native language.
I won't write a whole review, but rather write down a few key points that I wrote down while watching the drama.
Starting with the positive:
1. I find that most actors act really well. I liked Landy Li (Cheng Liao) and Han Jiu Nuo (Cheng Yi) the best. Both had good chemistry as sisters.
2. The side story with the sister, Cheng Yi (Han Jui Nuo), was really good. I even think it was sometimes better than the main story. I liked the younger, Jiang Yu Da (Zhu Jia Qi), of the two love interests a lot.
Now for the negative:
1. The older, Xu Chi (Chris Song), of the two love interests, on the other hand, I didn't like at all. Although Cheng Yi already said that she is not interested in him and he also said, that he respects her decision, he still makes unwanted advances.
2. Niu Jun Feng (Sheng Jing Chu), as the lead was sometimes wooden and awkward. The character is somewhat intentional, but it didn't always worked. And in the end the character just annoyed me.
3. I found the villain arc of Yao Ke laughable at times. Maybe it was the script or the actor. It just wasn't Cao Bo's role, I think.
4. Normally, an episode on a show would end in such a way that you absolutely have to watch the next episode. here, after a few episodes, I asked myself the question: "Why should I watch the next episode? Nothing happened". Problems and story arcs are introduced and solved within one or two episodes. Events that seem important are forgotten within a few episodes.
5. The episodes are just too long. I don't have a problem with dramas that have a lot of episodes. I also don't have a problem with "long" episodes (45min or longer). But I have a problem with dramas wasting my time. When I was halfway through the drama (episode 20 or so) I stared watching the episodes at a faster speed (1.25x). Many scenes in the drama have simply been dragged out too long. I just feel like a lot of episodes only have to be half the length they are.
I wish I had liked the drama better. Unfortunately I didn't.
~ Again, sorry for any possible errors.
