80% of the show is People Staring Lifelessly Into The Distance + Flashbacks of the same 5 scenes every single ep. At first I thought I had brain damage and was hallucinating spasmodic loops of scenes from 20 minutes to 2 eps ago... until I realized a director and an editor, in full consciousness and sound mind, approved a snoozefest of 100 repeat flashbacks. At the very least the show definitely treats you like you have brain damage.

What's with part of the OST being ripped from Boss & Me? The art direction is a mess, did they edit the whole thing in Windows Movie Maker? The only female character with any smattering of personality is Xiao Mei thanks to the actress playing her, why wasn't there anyone on their production team with even half a brain to realize she'd make a better lead? Is this really professional budget or some film student's failed graduation thesis? etc, are a humble preview of the mile-long litany of issues I had with the show.

Lead actress can't act for her life, but even the most luminous talents wouldn't be able to salvage a passive one-dimensional giggling doormat of a woman. Seemed like college!Mo Sheng was written by a different, more competent person, and performed thus by a competent actress, whereas the adult storyline was stapled together at the last minute by a comatose primate, and they picked whichever pretty face they could find with an empty schedule. The show should have entirely been a college romance instead of this confused, catatonic, seizure-inducing abortion of a story. Basically a 32-hour cinematic depiction of what it's like to have a stroke.
