Wasted opportunity

The story lacks emotion, particularly between the major characters. Instead, we get hijinks and slapstick "comedy" where the fat Queen becomes the butt of jokes. She is the epitome of what Hollywood has been doing to overweight actresses. She's either always eating or unintentionally making a fool of herself with no one to tell her the truth.

I don't know whether the FL's character and appearance are true to the source material. however, the reality is the main couple failed to communicate for way too long and had very low chemistry. Was it a mistake by the director? Did the scriptwriter not understand how to build up their attraction and just gave up on making it work?

Notwithstanding, it was refreshing to see a woman who wasn't borderline anorexic play the female lead although the styling department failed to utilize her beauty properly. The makeup was horrendous and her clothing styles did her no favors. She looked really lovely whenever she wore those high-waisted dresses made with floaty, airy fabrics rather than the conventional structured layered dresses. Then her beauty really shone through alas, this was done for only two episodes.

Why do I get the feeling that the producers and director intentionally sabotaged this series? Was it done to discourage having a different type of leading lady or did they genuinely not know what to do with Jackie Li's character?
