At some point while "Le Jun Kai" was airing, I accidentally started watching this on Viki when I clicked on "Le Jun Kai" instead of something else. I had never seen a Chinese drama before, and I figured that it could be decent. ((Spoiler: It sucked))
Story: Let me just start out by saying that none of the characters in this drama should be allowed to reproduce- ever. Please do us all a favor and *don't* contaminate our gene pool with your stupidity. What sort of idiot kid just goes with some creepy guy as soon as his mother's name is thrown out into the air? What sort of messed up wife would still love her husband after he raped and abused her? What the heck is wrong with all these characters?
I just. I can't even begin to describe all the ways these characters made me lose my faith in humanity- and let's not even talk about the titular character, Le Jun Kai. How many flavors of cray-cray can one guy be? You're rich, right? Get a good therapist.
Other than that, there were a grand total of TWO smart, kind decent characters, and between them they got a grand total of two minutes of screen time. In fact, most of the show was taken up by the mom or some other character (but mostly the mom) saying "Tian Tian!". Needless to say, I don't think I'll be forgetting the name any time soon.
Acting: Okay, Jeanine and Peter are amazing actors. They have great chemistry and adding an extra layer to their characters but, unfortunately, could not save the cesspool of suck that was this drama. The kid needs a ton of improvement, and everyone else was decent.
Music: I loved the opening music- it was epic and intriguing. In fact, the opening music was probably the best part of this drama.
Rewatch Value: No. Nein. Never ever. Just no.
Overall: The only reason this ewas even remotely entertaining was because it was so ridiculous. However, the amount of brain-cells I lost head-desking does not and will never make up for the low entertainment value. I feel like I've wasted the 2 hours it took to watch this stuff.
