The actors did their best

Of the various web Cdramas that are now all the rage, this one is watchable, for the nice set and music.

However, watch out. The story spirals downhill after the ML’s wedding.

There is very little character development and a number of unaddressed plot holes.

Throughout the whole time I’m thinking if this ML exists in modern times he’d be a real jerk, hardly likeable. None of the characters are very likeable, except for the ML’s second in command, who coincidentally is also the best looking actor on set.

For some reason, the scriptwriters did not write any real villains in the story, just a lot of annoying characters. This meant that the real conflict of the story is the series of misunderstandings and lies between the ML and FL. This gets old after the first few episodes.

If you want to watch a ML that gets jealous and subsequent cute romantic scenes then this is the show for you.

I did make it until the very end, which I can’t say for most of the other web dramas out there. For that, I want to acknowledge the actors, who did the best with the story that they had.
