Lifeless

Okay. I watched this drama because of Ren Jialun and had high expectation because the director is one of the directors of "The Untamed"- probably why, I am so disappointed.

Ren Jialun, was really charming as Changyi (Blue Whisper), so even though that drama has lots of boring and cringey parts, I at least managed to finish it and re-watched my favorite parts. I even started to like Dilraba because of that, even though I always avoid her dramas.

However, this drama doesn't have that charm. Not even my love for Ren Jialun could keep me from getting bored(although he is still handsome in this drama) it's just that... there's just something that this drama really lacks... Maybe charm? it just felt lifeless.

I have no problem with slow burner dramas (I even managed to finish Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace) but this one was just one of those that really... seems hard to finish. It's extremely slow.

And it doesn't help that the main couple has ZERO chemistry.
I saw a lot of people say that Dilraba and RJ has no chemistry, but they at least look good together. But the main couple on this one just don't have that... I just don't get that giddy feeling that I should be getting from the Main couple.

I only saw LQ in three dramas (The Wolf, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and Princess Agent). I am not really fan of her acting but she was good in Princess Agent, so I think those roles suits her best... not the noisy or hyper girl like this one.

I am sure the reason for the lack of life of this drama is not the main cast.. because you can see they tried their best.
I mostly blame it to the writers and the producers.
The writers probably wanted to try something new but doesn't know how to execute it.
The producers who are in charge of editing is also at fault.

I'm putting it on hold at epispde 13, maybe I will try to watch it again when the drama has ended or when I no longer have anything better to watch.
