Zhao Lu Si is her usual charming self but hasn't really been given much to work with in this, I got to ep. 5 and boredom had well and truly set in. Not even the pleasure of watching her expressions could carry the plot. I may drift back but I'm finding the attention paid by the older boy to a little school girl a bit uncomfortable as well. Just not enough non creepy reasons for him to be so invested. Hey ho, I might watch I hear you again for a Lu Si fix as consolation.
She is competent. She just went downhill because she was betrayed and cheated on and she went through ups and…
Ah...yes but I was talking about Kdrama tropes where it is used all to regularly as a setup, first episode or two FL is competent and capable and can even best the male lead and then... If we are talking about RL then that's a whole different kettle of turnips.
I'm sort of getting that confident successful woman turns in to pathetic clutz that constantly needs saving vibe from this - not my favourite trope. Either make them competent or make them useless the flip flop kills it for me.
Usual overly contrived mysteries being improbably solved nonsense. If you are into that sort of thing it's done quite well if you need things to be vaguely possible in order to be intriguing you won't enjoy it.
Managed to get part way into episode three before the MEH! factor hit too hard. Magic happens and a gamer/mangaka/loser is suddenly cool and useful - people die with a quick flashback to their past to make it sad. Really laboured twisted statement about the human condition (we are pretty shit apparently). Not even the Ha ji Won impression held my interest. It's slick with some cool effects but it's paper thin and been done before, Not for me I'm afraid.
Less stuff going would have made it a winner.

And it's a bit sexist
