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?

Gotta say, FL hair and clothes awful although haven't completed yet. Why must she wear wigs? Did actress have hair issue? I got excited when she went to hair salon but now just shorter wig...ugh. And her horrendous clothes, c'mon. Storyline back and forth between their college year to present, spirited, lively FL in her college years, although cringy and annoyingly loud and talkative but in present bowed head, no spirit, no clearing up of misunderstandings, no personality. I can't imagine writers thought process, let's make female lead weak as adult woman. ML pretty much same personality throughout. Guess I'll stay for entirety.

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.

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.

Mosheng gets a super short haircut but then reverts to her previo haircut in the scene where she and her friend plots how to lure Yicheng to the theatre. Yet another haircut shows up on the same timeframe, just even later in the evening, after the movies.

The Caucasian actors and actresses seem to have been picked without much consideration. Many speak unintelligible English. Perhaps Russian or other European languages? The accent is so thick it's unintelligible. And the worse offender is the landlord lady portrayed near the end, who spoke no English at all and yet Mosheng is replying in Chinese.

The younger boy that Mosheng was the guardian to was not friendly and spoke no Chinese. The older boy actor also lacked acting skills and seemed out of it.

Sometimes the background music is so loud it's more like foreground music and makes it next to impossible to know what was being said.

Not all of the Chinese actors spoke clear English. The worse offender was Yin Hui, whose deep voice and accent contributed to my frustration. Netflix didn't seem to bother trying to provide subtitles for the supposedly English lines. Which increases my frustration.
