Story was interesting but…
The story of Overdo was interesting. Four prominent families all vying for power, prestige and the institution of their own ideals.
the backdrop is the turmultuous time of the China Republican era. I’m not sure how historically accurate this drama is but there appears to be some very corrupt people around at that time all with bad motives.
Our heroines are girls that have been kidnapped by the elite, installed in an orphanage and abused , trafficked and killed for amusement. they escaped and planned revenge for justice.
Our heroes are brothers. Two buy blood and one die to a hospital mistake. two were treated well by the parents (Quinqu and Bose) even if their destiny was somewhat controlled by a wicked and selfish mother.
Quinqi was the outcast abused by his adopted father and shunned and abused by his biological mother. his life goes from one bad event to another. despite that his older brother shielded him to some extent and he became a doctor. but ruthless and corrupt men in the peripherals of high society are trying to bring the family down and take their place.
Love is found and lost, found again and lost again through circumstances and in the pursuit of revenge, justice and ideals. Betrayal is inevitable as one or more tries to keep the promises to ancestors, friends and family and protect their loved ones.
Many have thought Qinqyu was a doormat. but I don’t. he understands the hardships and evil behind the situation he and SuSu have faced. maybe not everything but enough to know she has her reasons and that it . may not preclude a love for him.
they will all team up from time to time to fight the bad guys but will love and hate each other out of necessity.
the main actors were brilliant but many supporting actors were just too dramatic for my liking.
The production was not the greatest. fight scenes were generally poorly executed. backdrops were so fake looking.
The worse for me were the continual memory flashbacks and a rehash at the end of what life might have been.
the ending was so painful to watch. it was left open which is okay but so cringe worthy.
the music was repetitive.
such a shame this show didn’t live up to expectations. the director and producers let some very fine acting skills go to waste.
