Overdue for Quality Control!
Overdue — such a frustrating disappointment.
There are dramas where you can immediately see that the casting department understood the assignment — and Overdue is one of them. The FL, the ML, and the supporting cast were, in my opinion, excellent choices. On paper, this had almost everything going for it.
Unfortunately, that is precisely what makes the final result so disappointing.
The hype surrounding this drama was enormous, particularly on social media. And following Zhang Ling He's stellar performance in The Pursuit of Jade, expectations were understandably through the roof. Many of us were eagerly waiting to see what he would do next, and I genuinely never thought I would be the person to drop a drama with Shanling Ha as the male lead.
But Overdue managed to achieve exactly that.
I went into this expecting to be completely hooked. Instead, I found myself increasingly frustrated until eventually I had to admit defeat. I TRIED REALLY HARD TO WATCH....
Dropped.
And honestly, that hurts more than dropping an average drama, because Overdue had the ingredients to be something genuinely memorable. The talent was there. The potential was there. The anticipation was certainly there.
You even have an actor coming off an exceptional performance in The Pursuit of Jade.
That is what makes Overdue such a shame.
