Not 'Overdo', but 'Overdone'
Living up to its name, Overdo truly overdoes every aspect of its writing. The characters suffer from a complete lack of development from start to finish. Ren Susu is stuck in a frustrating loop, making the exact same mistakes and poor decisions over and over again. The writer's pattern is ridiculously predictable: every choice she makes is merely a plot device to make Murong Qingyi suffer even more.Meanwhile, Murong Qingyi keeps pathetically begging for her love despite being repeatedly betrayed. In the end, the sheer amount of forced angst makes the entire story incredibly overwhelming and tiring to sit through. The poor writing extends beyond the main leads. Li Boze’s sudden personality shift feels incredibly forced. He was established from the start as a logical character with a strong moral compass, only to abruptly turn into a ruthless traitor simply because Qingyi investigates his father's case. To make matters worse, a character like Ye Zhi Hong is suddenly killed off for no good reason. Her death felt completely unnecessary, and she absolutely deserved a good ending.
