Acting Good, Writers need to be fired

When I started this series this was officially the first Taiwanese drama that I had watched and finished. I saw the preview on Netflix and thought hey this looked cool. I even saw how it was only 6 episodes so my hopes for this show was extremely low. Yet, for some reason I am still baffled by the mere premise of this show. To be frank, I did not like the writing or story one bit and felt like this was a missed opportunity. However, the reason that I was able to finish this entire train wreck was because of how good the actors were so if you just wanna watch something for good acting then go right ahead. However, if you want to watch for enjoyment or satisfaction i recommend you try another series. This review will get extremely specific so hold on tight.

Story:
First, the whole concept of this show was pretty fun and amusing. I mean a gangster heir and an actor wow what a plot twist. The funny part is that the main issues stem from her father and the actors (character) pure stupidity throughout the show. I do not remember names because of how forgettable this series was so I'll just say it as it is. Concept God, however I think the people who wrote this script need to find another profession. Not only does the whole premise of them falling in love over a game initiate the cringe factor inside of me. However, it also displays the emotional immaturity of the writers of this film. I understand this is comedy and I'm not trying to sound like a hater. However, PEOPLE DO NOT RANDOMLY FALL IN LOVE WITH EACHOTHER WITH AN ENTIRE 180 on their personality this easily.
Now onto something that really annoyed me, I was actually enjoying the beginning of this series (until the romance) and then things did a complete 180 in like 2 seconds. No cap the events of this series were so rushed and made this extremely uncomfortable to watch. I'll refer to this again i only survived because of the incredible acting despite their terrible script. Why did they have to cancel this like I would have given this a higher rating for it not have been the pacing, story, and overall script.

Script:
The story was pretty good at first aside from the pacing issues and such that I witnessed whilst watching this. One thing that I can never get over is the romance and chemistry as the entire premise of it is just stupid. One thing that I found to be out of the ordinary was the whole fangirl thing, I did get a lot of secondhand embarrassment from the things she did during this series, but that didn't stop me. It's the actor character guy whos name I continuously forget that really got on my nerves. The writing for him was so underdeveloped, vague, and just disinterested. And then the moment he had experienced something good in his life he does some dumb stuff and just does and complete 180 over events that lasted for what 2 days. The other characters including the gangster, the goons, and the mother lady had fairly written lines aside from how cliché they were. However, the romance between the leads just made this a terrible experience on my mart

Missed opportunity:
As stated before this was such a missed opportunity to make one of the wittiest and comedic shows in all of Taiwanese history. However, the writing and jokes really fell short on this one. The overall plot line was subline, and the gangster romance was heavily undermined. I have some fixes that I would make to the crypt but as this isn't my show I couldn't care less. As someone who works in the film industry I found a lot of the action shots to be insulting and there were tome blocks here and there with the camera rigging. The picture quality was good, but again a missed opportunity for something great and cinematic

Overall, great idea, great actors, terrible execution, and writers who need to find new professions.
That is all take my words however you want.
