So far, the story is choppy and slow. The male lead, a good actor, is scripted to be lifeless and thus seems to have the whole cast on monotone. I hate it when the sense of logic is missing and that is so with the female lead. The introduction of characters are a bit hard to follow because they are dropped into the scene out of nowhere. I have a hard time keeping my interest and at some points fast forward some scene to close in on the final episode. I am hoping that it will pick up some momentum soon. Disappointing since I like the male lead actor. On the brighter note, the cinematography is good and the story's core is interesting. The story starts getting interesting around episode 34 as it moves pass the monotonous hump. Though more characters are introduced, their relationships gets tied together giving each of the previous characters more personality. At this point, you will get over the stupidity of the female lead. Flash backs are a waste of my time but in this case, some of these flash backs are helpful.
FINAL REVIEW:
For starter, I am a fan of romantic comedy and this drama is melodramatic. The drama starts out interesting as anything wuxia drama does. Then it slows to monotone matching the male lead illness but brings down all the other characters to mundane. Then new characters starts dropping in out of nowhere and it made it hard to follow whose who. If you feel the same as I do and you can survive through to episode 34, the story starts to pick up but only for 10-15 episodes and then it starts to go down hill. It would have help if they had sprinkle some humor here and there to lightened up the melancholy. I hate it when the drama loses it's sense of logic and reasoning. I also hate it when they use back flashes to fill in and extend episodes. This drama has both of what I hate; although the back flashes doesn't get out of hand until the last 10 or so episodes. I was not satisfied with the 2nd female leads demise or how the 2nd lead male handled his invaded self. It was a mental and physical rape he suffered and that should have generated ravage rage but all that to stir up the audience just end with a slap on the hand. I endured the drama up to episode 53 and then started fast forwarding the rest of the episodes to get to the end just so I can have closure for the time spent on these 56 episodes. Definitely, not my cup of tea because it lacks a bit of humor to lightened up the melancholy.
