Seriously , I just don't get the hype!

Meaning I keep seeing this drama in my TL these days therefore I decided to give a try expecting something new but unfortunately this show has nothing particularly special to offer except for the visuals of the cast. The story isn't anything compelling or unique. While watching shows, the factors that make me keep watching is basically the plot or the acting . But here, there was neither of the two!!
The acting of the male lead whom I have seen for the first time, is pretty cold and I feel like he can't genuinely convey his feelings to the viewers! Like seriously ,, he's got no expression mannn 😶 On top of that, I can't really understand why he's pushing so hard to tryna look cool like that 🙄? I m sorry to have said this but he literally has no aura of being a CEO to say the least and he's way more suited to play in idol dramas instead! As for the female lead, I think I have seen her before where her acting was pretty good but here I just found her performance stiff. Several things of this drama has been blown out of proportion including the chemistry between the mc which feels pretty forced and medicore to the core. In a frank way, I didnt find any hotness or tension between them. There are many c-drama couples in chinese tv I know whom despite having no kisses or bold scenes still managed to hold up the tension on - screen. But here the romance totally fails even with tons of kıssın . I think if the leads were actors like Sean Xiao or Landy Li , who can easily connect their feelings to viewers, conveying the required emotion then that would have definitely worked and make a memorable combination despite the average plot!
The supporting cast is also very weak here. Usually in C/K dramas even in case I don't love the male lead character , somehow I end up falling for the second lead guy or the morally grey antagonist. But in this show there is none that's worth to mention like what the helllll 😭?! The supporting cast felt like more as if they were just filling up the show for the time being hahaha. But the music of this drama are sort of pleasing ngl and I guess this might be the only thing I enjoyed here so far.
If not for Netflix push, it doesn't seem to me like anyone would want to invest their time in this drama of those same repetitive storyline 🤷🏻‍♀️
Anyway, in the end, I said what I said and I am glad that the douban reviews exists that way I could be sure that I'm not the only one who feels that way 🫣.... I just hope this show ends sooner so that I no longer have to keep watching this on my feed all day lol
