Calling someone ār*tartedā looking in the big year of 2025 , wow , could you be any less embarrassing I hope…
OK, snowflake.
And yep, obviously I know what retarded means and that's why I used the term. She has acted through the entire drama like the FL has intellectual disabilities.
You know what they say: never judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for dramasāespecially after just…
Believe me it gets a LOT worse. My annoyance began at episode 8 when I realized Meng Zi Yi can't act and the screenwriter can't write. It worsened with every later episode.
At episode 15 I double-sped through everything except Liu Xueyi's scenes, and even that couldn't save it as he's not in enough scenes and Meng Zi Yi is in too many.
Dropped it and came back to see if episode 23 had improved. Nah. Didn't think it was possible but Meng Zi Yi's performance is worse than ever. Dropped permanently. Moved on.
I am honestly amazed to understand how the director thought 8,978 shots of Meng Zi Yi with the same wide eyes, open mouth and empty facial expression as if she's retarded was going to make his drama better.
I dropped it and then went back to Episode 23 to see if she had improved. Nah.
At the place where they're dumping bodies, he saves her (again), rushes to her and, again, the same vacuous facial expression, big eyes, open mouth, as if she's mentally impaired.
I have seen thousands of Asian dramas and she is the worst actress I have ever watched in any of them. Talentless.
It was a righteous drop and nothing will convince me to watch any more of her.
Oh, no! Thatās not true at all! Ziyi and Xueyi have a visual match, and their chemistry is just amazing!
There's no chemistry between them, Xueyi is carrying every scene they're in together. Meng Ziyi should return to drama school and learn some acting skills. 1,000 hours of nails screeching down a chalkboard would be preferable to seeing that red eyed, bug eyed, empty stare she does one more time.
Without her I could have finished the drama as bullsh*t as the plot fell into. With her, I'd poke fiery hot needles in my eyes rather than watch. Dropped after ep20.
Can you please stop promoting your illegal website and go away. You post nothing but link after link to illegal content.
Yeah, sometimes I bootleg when there's no other choice but I don't condone the owners of dodgy sites promoting their content on legal sites, especially when they obviously have no interest in Asian drama (no shows being watched, no comments about anything but their site).
The First Night with the Duke RatingsEp1: 3.3%Ep2: 3.4% (Highest)Ep3: 2.7% (Lowest)
It will probably drop further as the average viewer stops watching and only the fans of the two lead actors, who would watch them read a phonebook and say it was a "masterpiece" are left.
I just dropped it. Enjoyed the first episode but it's been downhill from there, and episode 3 was stupid and boring. Can't stand the FL either.

Your account is duly reported.
Binge-watched all 8 episodes this afternoon and loved every second of it. Can't wait for tomorrow now. A 10 score so far.
