Didn’t meet expectations.

I am going to be bluntly honest in this review. If one isn’t able to take it then feel free not to read it. However, I have to let out my frustrations over this drama that I have recently watched.

Yes I have only wanted till episode 40. Which really is a lie because I skimmed through from episode 20+ onwards till 40. Why? Well, it wasn’t hard the drama started off as something of a potential plot that I was intrigued with.

But next episode after the next slowly lowered my expectations making me feel utterly disappointed. But I do not regret skimming through as I usually do mainly because it is reasonable for me to in this case.

First of all, the fact that it is more than 40 episodes can be a form of a drag. Because I don’t really like watching drama that are way too long and the story takes way too long to unravel. Which this drama kinda does but not too much, I ll give it that.

Tell you what, it doesn’t have stereotypical factors that it usually does in these dramas. Like having the men to be the hero of an marriage that was not approved in the beginning but due to the heroine the blessing was given wholeheartedly and deserving. I ll give it to the female lead, bai lu. I do like the actress mainly the reason why I watched this show.

She of course was talented her acting was great. And the character is super admirable other than being such a sought after bachelorette. To put it in one word, she’s awesome. She helps people and is able to discover the truth based on almost nothing. Making sure that justice would always be upheld being that she went thought tradgedy herself.

So I wanted good things for her like any viewer would. She fell in love, so be it. And it’s not with some cold conventional dude but with someone warm going and energetic so I was hoping to see some saucy romance but at the same time loving and meaningful.

But I got nothing. There was no kiss even when they got married at least they didn’t include it for some reason. The hugs and embrace was not tight and convincing enough for me. And when there finally is a kiss it didn’t make me swoon.

And the moment once they want to get a little action. All the dude says he wants a son. Then that scene ends.
Know this, I m not here for only action. But these are one of the factors that naturally pulls a viewer, well me.

The casting of this drama was a little weird. Like the male lead, it’s mean to say but he’s looks are decent I guess it’s just that he’s acting isn’t convincing enough that he is a lead. He didn’t grab the attention in the room.

The story was alright and it has a lot of potential too bad it take little details like this that can put that all down the drain.

However I still am staying to watch the last episode mainly to see whether they end up together but will I skim through? Definitely.
