Midway through the series (Review)


*This drama is for fellows who seek an urban, visionary, and pragmatically-driven plot, featuring a cast of mature-looking East Asian actors and actresses.*

I am currently eagerly binge-watching this series and eagerly anticipating the release of each new episode. From the episodes I've seen thus far, I can confidently say this drama is considered the "better" Chinese series you can watch and eagerly look forward to.

Most Chinese dramas in the romantic genre tend to cast young East Asian actors and actresses who, in hindsight, appear significantly younger than their actual age. While I usually don't concern myself with this, I have gradually found this disparity to be absurd when it comes to portraying love, sexuality, and adult themes with extremely youthful-looking adults.
Although I am aware that many of these actors and actresses are already adults, I often find myself struggling with this perception.

When I discovered this series, I was initially intrigued by the choice of actors and actresses who appeared more mature-looking. Finally, I thought, they are casting individuals who have a more age-appropriate appearance.
I understand that everyone has a different perception of facial features, and some may still find these cast members either "too young" or "too old" for their scripted roles. However, despite individual perspectives, this series aligned perfectly with my personal taste and preferences.

Furthermore, in most series, I rarely focus on supporting roles other than the main characters. However, this drama opened my eyes and captivated my attention toward the supporting roles and their individual stories. Consequently, I did not skip or find any parts of this drama dull or uninteresting.

Overall, I am excited to see what the upcoming episodes have in store!
