Theory: some actors took the roles to have something to do, rather than hone their skills?

Theory: some actors took the roles to have something to do, rather than hone their skills… Pained me to see Shawn Dou Xiao in a role that didn’t utilize his acting skills to a higher degree… After forcing myself to continue watching for several episodes,… the constant bickering, suspicions and self righteous stances, rescues and lack of solid progress between the leads trusfrated, bored, and disappointed me. Yuan Hao performed well, but again, wasted his ability… Unnecessary deaths for a few characters saddened me. (esp the rewatchable Overlord’s Leon Lai Yi who didn’t have a lot of screen time, as supporting cast here)Please watch/rewatch Princess Agents and Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophesy .. Mr Dou’s early works,.. and IMHO, still his very best!

Watched for Park Seo-Joon.. Storyline flowed well, no evil crazy rivals etc. Uhm Jung Hwa as his FL was unknown to me, they worked their professionalism well, and had good chemistry! Supporting cast also performed well in this mostly lighthearted rom/com. Would definitely recommend!!

Edit to fill required # of characters: would be nice to see a part 2 aka spinoff. After so many years… I suppose it wont happen. If anybody decides to create a remake, I highly doubt if anyone as balanced in handsome cuteness and acting performance skills as Park Seo-Joon can do a better job.

Half way through,… Song Wei Long’s character Zhang Ping is both very smart, and incredibly stupid.. aggravating to watch his Zhang Ping not grow in depth and empathy. Loved Song Wei Long’s character in Find Yourself… guess this is another stepping stone for his acting performance artistry to grow.
Early episodes, Jing Bo Ran’s character Lan Jui, is sublimely beautiful in movement and expression. His performance interchangeable, from calm and serene, to chaotically maniacal,…
At episode 17 now,… storyline has become draggy at times… still tolerable so far.
Beautiful stages and costumes, lovely backdrops and scenery (albeit, appropriately eerie at times)
Up to ep 22~ storyline is slowly moving along, a new character has been introduced! Wang Duo aka Shulin, plays him well! His long ago connection with ML Lan Jui, belies a weird feeling…it’s eerie.
Now at ep 25 ~ Shulin strikes me as a Very sly individual… hmmm…
Just completed the series… As Shulin, Mr Wang Duo’s multilayered performance was awesome!
Sweet ending … complete as is,.. with soft opening for a potential S2. Lovely OST! Shoutout to cast and crew!

Really tried to like it enough to complete cos I admire the ML…

Really tried to like it enough to complete cos I admire the ML… Jing Chao …
Imho … storyline/individual cases aren’t engaging/exciting… draggy with moments of comedy… dropped halfway…The Actors/ supporting cast performances were commendable/good, but I couldn’t watch anymore.
(The rest of this review is due to the minimum 500 characters for reviews) I decided to drop it after taking breaks and inevitably watching … finishing Other drama series.. and coming back to continue… After watching 3 Other very good (or better) drama series… I came back a final time and eventually decided to drop it.
