I am currently on a Luo Yunxi marathon and decided to watch this drama solely because of the poster. He sports fringes and wears glasses AND LOOKS SO CUTE. But that was all that was to this drama. This guy is a good actor and even when he can't save the drama, you know the drama's just BAD. The FL, Cheng Xiao, CANNOT ACT. How can a person have the same facial expression irrespective of whatever emotions she's emoting? Even when she's crying she looks the same.
The ML is supposedly a disabled character, he does not have his lower leg. But what disability, where disability, which disability? He uses the walking stick like a fucking prop and not as a support... At least limp while walking? What is this superhuman portrayal of a disabled character? One badminton match lasts TEN MINUTES in an episode... WHYYYY??? And
This brings me to the pace of the drama. This drama is SO SLOW, I get it that you want to take time to build the characters and the setup and all that. But it's just unnaturally slow. A watcher like me, who does not skip even 10 seconds of an episode, was skipping MINUTES to just get through to what happens next. Because there's literally NOTHING GOING ON IN THE LARGE PART OF THE EPISODE. The story wasn't that bad actually. If it was paced well and sped up to 5 times faster, then it would've gained traction with the viewers. But the pace was so abysmally slow, I just lost interest at the end and gave up on it.
The chemistry between the leads was also so meh; they had none, actually. And this is saying quite a lot, given how charming and flirty LYX can be onscreen. The two leads are just too self-absorbed and expressionless to react to anything that the other person is doing. In comparison, I liked Chu Chu's character far better. She had more sass and acted better as well. The third friend, Oscar, was a cardboard cutout character. And he's dressed like Elvis Presley for over half the time because he's a Rock and Roll singer? WAAAOOOOOO, talk about a caricature character... *eye roll* *smh*.
The OST was also dumb; who writes a song with the lyrics, "I love you, I need you"? How old was the songwriter? Thirteen?? Everything was just so wrong. There was nothing to invest in this drama. NOT WORTH THE WATCH. Watch Love is Sweet or Till the End of the Moon instead. They're eons better than this snooze fest of a drama.
