Annoying female lead and poor character development

I don't understand. The concept of this drama is not unique but it's fun so while I expected to suspend some judgement, I was looking forward to being entertained. But there were just too many distracting flaws in this drama, not least of all the poor character development and acting. While it's impressive that the female lead has to switch between two different characters, her delivery fails for both. Part of that could be blamed on the scriptwriter because there are a lot of inconsistencies in the way her characters act/react to the situations they found themselves in. I mean, why, even if it is not her body - or especially if it's not her body - would she have no regard/respect for the disruption she is causing to the real owner of said body. Like seriously? Some parts defy logic to the extent that it's offensive (and I'm usually pretty open-minded). Where the scriptwriter fails, the lead actress's lack of skill also really shows through. I don't know this actress but I have seen other actresses charm their way through really bad scripts before and Liang Jie is not one of them. I tried really hard to give her a chance (and cringed my way through 20+ episodes) but I feel like she needs to get some basic acting training or something. Other than a pretty face, she offers little charm to her character. I've seen anime characters with more dimension.
