I wish the fantasy element had never happened
The drama almost feels magical at first, but the plot kept getting messier and less interesting as it progressed. Two best friends make a wish upon a shooting star, and that impulsive, self-centered wish ends up turning their lives upside down. I love the actors, but I constantly found myself wanting to drop the show after the first half because of the fantasy element. I simply don’t buy into it, and honestly, I hated it.
That said, the cast absolutely delivered when it came to the intimate scenes. They held nothing back and were fully committed to portraying the characters’ passion. The chemistry was intense, with every kiss feeling bold and convincing. Jed Chung is easily the MVP of the series thanks to his excellent performance. However, I felt that Chu Meng Hsuan struggled to keep up during some of the heavier emotional scenes. In particular, the scene where his character breaks down in tears during a major emotional moment felt a little stiff and lacked the impact it needed.
Losing your entire identity is a whole different level of despair. But that ending? Brother Hong, being the key figure behind the wishes and their consequences, was incredibly underwhelming. His character felt so out of place that I honestly wouldn’t have minded if he had been removed from the story altogether.
Overall, I think the fantasy element ruined what could have been an enjoyable experience built around the chemistry between the two couples. The supporting cast also did a great job portraying their roles, and I appreciated their contributions to the story. It’s just a shame that I found myself bored so many times whenever the fantasy aspect took center stage.
That’s all from me.
