For Mature Audience
1. BEFORE I ADDRESS THE DRAMA, I JUST WANT TO PUT IT OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE CAN'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES: Why do people rely heavily on negative comments online instead of watching the drama first in order to judge it? Second, too many POJ shippers coming to bash the drama as well as people who wants to see POJ in a "republican drama." Very immature and delusional behaviors. You can't expect to see glitz and glamour as well as "easy to understand" characters in a republican story plot, therefore be mature enough to watch or don't watch PERIOD. I'm so tired of seeing all the immature rants and complaints. Third, if you think OVERDO is bad, then you haven't seen "republican dramas." This era had always been dramatic and heavy to watch because it is during war times and dark times. If you want me to recommend a drama worser, then go watch "War of Flames," loves the actors, but plot was messy and unbearable.
2. PRODUCTION, ACTING, & STORYLINE: There are definitely way worser production than OVERDO, so it was unnecessary for people to spread hate. Two, the acting was superb on all ends. No matter it was the main or supporting cast. I will dive into Wang Churan's character since she is getting the most hate. Ren Susu was never meant to be this happy, jolly, easygoing character, therefore I am lost at people wanting her to be expressive and lively. She is meant to be cold, mono, and expressionless because she only knows "revenge, pain, suffering, and misfortunes." As you can see, there are times she gave in to Qingyi because she wants to let go, and on the other hand, she has a duty to revenge her parents and everyone she loved. She's an orphan, guys, she literally doesn't have anyone other than Qingyi therefore her pain is immense. Which brings me to the next point, because she knows she can't let go of her revenge, she protects Qingyi from her dangerous life by pushing him away therefore he does not get caught in the misfortunes. Because that man loves her and WILL DIE FOR HER. Also did everyone forget the fact that Qingyu tried to separate Ren Susu from Qingyi by pushing her to kill Li Rhongzhang knowing she was on a suicide mission?? Yes exactly, that's why Ren Susu does not want Qingyi involved in her life, because Qingyu also wanted her dead and gone from Qingyi. Third, storyline was decently written, it was just fast paced therefore we didn't spend a lot of time watching character development. If you understood then you understood, if you didn't then go back and rewatch it. Also if you've watched the BTS, you can see that there was so much more acting and emotions done behind the scenes, but because of limited episodes, a lot of scenes were cut short. As for ZLH, he nailed his character as expected. Qingyi made every scene emotional and painful because he is so selfless when it comes to Ren Susu.
3. Overall, I think it's evident, we need another ZLH and WCR drama with a more loving storyline. Because these two are not only power visuals, but they need a better script to bring their potentials to the screen.
