Wood chipper meet the Editing room

One word to describe this drama - atrocious! To be more precise - atrociously made. This was so disappointingly bad I couldn’t even come up with a witty headline for this review.

The plot is moving at a 2.0 speed, which won’t allow viewers to fully get immersed in the story let alone connect with any of the characters. There are flashbacks inside flashbacks, which are made worse by the cloudy-looking filter they used.

The editing was so horrible, so disjointed you’ll find yourself confused if the character has even finished speaking before the next scene transports you miles away. This sudden shift between scenes is like spinning the wheel and seeing where it takes you since you can’t fully be sure if you are going to find yourself in another place just geographically or in another time entirely. They are throwing time jumps like they are handing out sample tasting at the food court in the mall. There was an earthquake scene horribly done the whole thing came down like a house of cards. There was no choreography to the fight scenes. The battle scenes were truly laughable and again everything moved at a high speed it’s hard to tell what’s going on.

I was looking forward to watching this since it has a cast like Liu Tao and Vic Chou. After struggling through 8 episodes I had to give up. In an attempt to shorten what I’m assuming was initially meant to be a longer drama, they practically took the drama and edited it through a wood chipper.
