He Yi Sheng Xiao Mo

I couldn't finish the series; gave up after 8 episodes. The two main characters were so unappealing. The woman has no personality. Worse, she can't look anyone in the eye and spends almost every scene looking down at the ground. She consistently refuses to answer people, acting kind of like a deaf mute. The male lead also has no personality. No warmth, caring or humanity. No intelligence either. Why was this series made? What was the point?

Would have been a great watch if ML wasn't so manipulative and abusive and FL wasn't acting so much of a pushover.. like he could literally be slapping her in the face for nothing and blame her for it and she'll say "I'm sorry".

He broke up with her but blames her because of what her father did to him. Then blames her for leaving him even though she was a teenager being forced to leave her country.

And then her father dies and she doesn't get to mourn him in her country but who cares about that when ML's heart is broken because she actually leaves when he told her to leave.

WTF is this drama really.

Im sick and tired of C-Drama always portraying FL as weak and gullible. I think she probably raised her head like 10 times from Ep1 to Ep10 to look at him while hes talking... constantly looking down all defeated! WTF.

I don't like it at all and giving up at E10.

There are so many things wrong with this drama that I can't believe it was popular back in the day. The 1st problem is the FL's wig. For some reason the director thought she should wear a bad wig for most of the show and then halfway through double down to a smaller worse one?! Then the ML is the most unlikeable guy ever. He's either cold or down right mean to the FL for most of the show. It makes no sense that she would have put up with him in college and still want him as an adult. He breaks up with HER in college but let's all their friends believe she abandoned him and doesn't clarify later. He also never lets her talk and bulldozes over her when he talks. He never gives her the reason for their abrupt break up and we're supposed to believe that she should have "read between the lines" and not left after it?! I had to stop watching--I couldn't buy into their happily ever after.

Poor sound quality while shooting outside which included a bad buzz.

Miserable cheap wigs for the main actress.

Way too much product placement of a scary looking alcohol brand named RIO that comes in hideous bright colors.

The people who played the English speaking roles didn't even speak good English & were mostly foreigners.

The plot was cheesy & over the top. The male roles were overly bossy & macho.

Not much to like with this series.

The show could have been fine. The premise was interesting, the filming very decent and the secondary characters okay. Unfortunately, the main male character is cold as a fish and, most importantly, it is very difficult to envision why even a hot blooded man could have any interest for the main female character. She is supposed to be in her late twenties, but dresses and talks like a 12-year-old, has a submissive attitude 90% of the time, and has all the personality of an oyster. Who would want to pursue such a lame girl, let alone remain faithful to her for years while she was abroad?! This critic is for the characters as written in and not for the actor and actress, who just play the (very bad) part they were given.
