to be great, it needs more than vengeance!!
updated review:
I follow the main actors, that's why I was excited for this!
but what an awkward first episode! the story seemed very flat at first... it does get better somehow..
what did not help our FL is the weak initial vengeance trope... episode 1 starts the story at a random time: why her plan starts now? what does she know? why does she hate everyone so bad but has no clue what happened?
The way the show introduces the story makes it hard to relate to the characters. In my view, production neglected character development in everyday life/ instead of characters are only living in high moments.
Eventually our FL grows in her role, by now (ep8) she is great, but i'm still not sure on her character: she is smart, weary, vengeful... but is she reckless? will the story always magically put her ahead of everyone and we dont know how? Good character depiction is also a production effort: can we see enough of her planning especially when things go wrong instead of plot armour? we don't get enough transparency in what is actually going on in the FL perspective, so for the viewer her actions just look random. sometimes she panics, sometimes she drops the best ruse... ?!
WHO IS SHE BEYOND HER REVENGE PLAN?
also i can say the same thing for ML!!
There is a right balance of drama vs wit/ fun with these two main leads ( especially Xukai)
What i really don't like is the editing and scenes continuity: timelapses are not clear, and script is very revenge- plot intense, it looks like characters have nothing else to do so we don't have a lot to build around the revenge.
I am loving the cinematography and visuals so far! the aesthetic and world building is very nice but it still lacking richness ! i don't know yet if this drama will be memorable!
The ost is very dramatic and beautiful!
I'm following along for now, the story doesn't seem very complex: i am curious enough about the main couple to keep watching!
