What A Mess..
Where to begin on this one. Wow. Let me start out by saying that I thought the acting was pretty well done, I have nothing against the actors/actresses in this show. I came here as a Joseph Zeng fan, and managed to actually finish a JJY drama for once. JZ and JJY had decent chemistry, none of it felt awkward. All the characters were portrayed well, to the point where you literally want to kill some of them.
The plot/writing is where it all goes wrong. The first few episodes had potential but once you reach 1/3 of the way in, you start to wonder what you're even watching anymore and why. The script writers filled episodes with unnecessary stories.. so many of them. Had this been a 20 episode drama, it might have been somewhat bearable. By episode 30, the fast forward button became my best friend. It got to the point where as much as I was trying to push through, I had to put this on pause until all the episodes were released so I could fast forward to the end.
I hate to say it but this is probably the worst drama I've watched all year. The only reason this is getting a 5 from me (and not a 4) was because I did enjoy the OST and acting.
