Chen Feiyu looks like a young adult playing dress-up, which makes him lack gravitas, but otherwise I really enjoyed…
In the novel he is only 19 when he meets He Simu, and it’s his first military assignment So he’s not meant to have that heavy "gravitas", the youthful energy actually fits the character rather than being a flaw.
My only complaint about POJ is that it really needed more than 40 episodes to fully do the story justice. There’s so much depth in the plot that a lot of it deserved more space on screen, and I really wish we had more time to properly go through everything, and even enjoy it for a little longer. (I’m saying this as a novel reader, don’t get me wrong).
and why it's only 12 eps
