Got through this mainly for Bai Lu...
The main draw for this drama to watch it was for Bai Lu I do really like her shows, and upon seeing the trailer I thought it looked really good to watch. The whole thing being around a Feud for a couple was interesting and I do tend to like dramas like that, but unfortunately I felt this one fell a bit flat. It really is extremely frustrating to watch wondering exactly what their Feud is really about and they don't let you know for some time. So buckle up and just wait for it cause it doesn't come out easily.
Bai Lu's performance once again was not a let down for this drama. I do really like to watch her and she helped with getting through this drama. I really like Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng when they were feuding through this but I really didn't feel chemistry between them. Maybe its because I also felt that they did not actually focus or do a very good job at portraying their love story. So I won't put it all down to bad chemistry but they focused so hard on their feud that when it came time for their love story I just didn't believe that these two people loved each other at all, and I won't put that on Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng they did their best with this script that they were given. I wish they would have focused more on their love story then some of their silly side characters that they just had to keep throwing into everything. I was tired of seeing half of them.
I really haven't seen Joseph Zeng in much but I don't think he really did a bad job at portraying his character either there was just something really missing in this story.
Spoilers will start from here:
My actual favorite scenes in this drama were ones with the guy who played Meng Chang Qin who was also in the drama (Hard to Find). He just had really funny moments and his bond with Bai Lu's character was so good. Him being there for her when she had her son and until she lost him. Then Bai Lu's character also loses him around the same time. All of these scenes were really heartbreaking. You felt for her character losing her son and this man that stayed beside her through it all. I'm sorry but I felt more for her losing this man then the ML just because I really didn't believe their love story at all. I just think this actor for his guest appearance deserves a little bit of credit. He was definitely a highlight for me.
I actually liked the guy who also played the villain. You won't know that there is a villain for awhile they keep that pretty well hidden and just kind of seemed they wanted someone else to be behind the main characters Feud. To sweep it all under the rug that they had this feud going on between them and it was all this guys fault. Even though I think he was another highlight to watch from a lot of the other side characters that they make you get to know and watch what is going on with them. Why they thought this was more important the couples love story I just don't know. I would of liked to watch more of Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng actually being a couple then two people that just really seemed to hate each other.
Toward the last few episodes actually did a bit of fast forwarding just wanting it to end. They just did way to much on focusing on things I really didn't think matter to the story of these two, and also the monologues were just getting way out of hand before they would actually even continue a scene. A scene would go on way too long with them just talking your in the middle of a battle and having just this absurd conversation in the middle. With a better script and all these good actors that they had this really could of been an amazing drama, but in the end I just feel like it fell flat for me. That is my opinion I know there is a lot of love for this drama but for me unfortunately that was just not the case.
