Half Bright and Half Rain (2019)

Disappointing

Very disappointed. It started very interesting but slowly went down the drain. I liked the story idea but it was slow and the episode seem like the same thing over and over again. The lead male character was obsess with his first love who died 1000 years ago and he was still waiting for her. He had live 1000 years, had a magical umbrella but could not help the leading female character and was always fool by the evil spirits. The story kept going back in the past and then to the future but it was the same scenes all over. The lead female character is cute, strong and naïve but plays stupid and innocents even after having so many encounter with the evil spirits. I have to say that I fast forward in some episode because I found it boring and could not wait until the end. I believe that the actors did their best in their performance but the writer and the director let them down.

This drama was mediocre. It may be good for others to watch, but it just didn't grab my full attention, and don't know why really. It is a fantasy and I love fantasies. I was going to write a review but decided to go ahead. There was only one actor that I felt did very well... that was Lin Shi Jie. The visuals were good, all the other actors were okay... Usually when you watch great dramas the storyline sticks in your head. I know I watched all the episodes but can't remember them until the last 10 and this was only 24 episodes. I'll come back and try to watch it again but don't know if I should. We will see.
