ok, tbh, I wasn't expecting too much, so I went to watch it without any kind of pretension, but it was worse than I thought it would be

The acting was bad, unfortunately. The only minimally decent performance that I, in my opinion, managed to find good, was that of ML's best friend.

It's complicated, cause I don't like to say that someone IS bad at acting (for me, It depends). For example: I believe that the ML's actor played a good role in the drama "Butlerflied Lover", so I think that a good performance depends on good direction, a good script and good resources/budget.

That being said, in my honest opinion, "A Different Mr.Xiao" was a good attemp, but not well executed.
