One of the nicest dramas I've watched in 2022 despite some hiccups
Personally, I dislike dramas that have dark stories, but Being a Hero somehow kept me hooked on right from the beginning.
This is one of the nicest dramas I've watched in 2022 despite some "bugs", and almost everyone's acting is good, especially the Villian/ Villian-Victim characters. I have to be fair and say that Chen Yu, Yang Yi and Anran's acting sometimes fall short, especially Anran. Her best acting was when she went undercover to get close to Wan Mengmeng. Chen Yu gets better towards the 2nd half of the drama (not the romance ones though lol), and Yang Yi did a great job when he played dumb to stall Yang Xingquan (I was really hoping he didn't stay there alone without telling anyone else though...?).
This is a majority unpredictable story of revenge, trust, betrayal, friendship and a daily test on your view of what's right and wrong, what's real and what's not.
I love how I am unable to guess most of the storyline until the back episodes, and this is probably why I got hooked to continue this drama.
"Bug 1" : When WZF was being buried alive in ep 11, one scene changed very quickly and I got confused on how WZF went from being "in control" to suddenly begging for his life (?)
"Bug 2" : There seem to be very short lost scenes in 2 episodes, as 2 scenes do not seem to connect.
"Bug 3" : This drama is generally fast-paced, but the last episode was draggy and a little odd at parts (like the story doesn't flow for 1 or 2 scenes.
"Bug 4" : The final scene showed how each Villian is punished, but some of the names are of people who already died. Have to say that this bug is really bad. ?
Special mention : The final scene made me wail and swear and hence I marked down this drama's score after finishing Up 32.
However, after my friend shared with me about a Short Special released just yesterday that shows the "real ending", I decided to come back and submit my first-ever review after watching it.
Lastly, I'd like to relay a message to everyone who cursed and swear at the last episode like me : Please go and watch the Short Special. You'll feel better lol. (Though they should have made it the real ending lol...)
