They had a Good Idea, but failed to present it properly
Y'all, I'm just here because of Sun Qian to be honest. If not for her i would've dropped this in a heartbeat.
The story would've been better if this was directed properly. They definitely had some good ideas, but they weren't well tied together. I can't say i dislike it because the story wasn't written properly, but overall, everything about this drama isn't that great. It's just more like good story beats, but lacking when it comes to filling in the gaps to flesh out the story properly. Some scenes don't even make sense, like why is it happening in such a setting? It's not appropriate time and mood wise.
The romance felt forced in my opinion. They could've thought of something better for the romance progression. Even the 2nd Couple, they are definitely super forced, like really? It's not even about playing hard to get. It's just a badly written couple.
The acting is super whacked out, which is very fitting for a full on comedy show, but this is supposed to be a Rom-Com, so they could've at least toned it down. Though looking back, I can see why they chose to instruct the cast in that way, so that they would be able to mask their lack of experience when it comes to acting. It didn't look bad. I was more entertained by it, seeing how wacky the interactions are. I couldn't even feel any chemistry between the characters, but i like the back and forth banters from time to time.
Like it says in the title, Sweet "Tai Chi". Though i like that they're tryna promote such old culture, I shouldn't have expected that I'm gonna be seeing more of that. Most of the Tai Chi scenes were in the later parts of the drama, and the audacity to say "Let's go train Tai Chi" during the earlier parts, but then show standard exercises, baffles me.
Music? ehh, it's just there. I did notice it, but not enough for me to fall in love with it. I'm sure I'll forget it within the following days.
Overall, everything about this drama is very fitting on its own. It's a good entry title to recommend if you haven't watched that many well-written shows yet.
