Why do I feel so underwhelmed by this show. Something is not clicking, they started by destroying this man’s…
I find it's the pacing that disrupts the whole flow of story. So far, we only have 3 grown men targeting the ML and not much else. Would love interaction with the Marquis. I do enjoy ML and his Shifu plotting though.
I keep telling people online that the reason Dilraba is still considered A-list isn’t just because of her popularity, it’s because of her cultural influence and economic appeal.
