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?

I am a fan of both the FL and the ML, normally. However, I don't understand why the writers thought the best way to depict their relationship, even from the beginning, was for it to be so abusive. I was uncomfortable watching the ML speak to the FL throughout the series. Several times I thought to stop watching altogether.

Horrible, horrible English speaking. I couldn't understand them at all. Not sure what to think about it all. I was shocked to see this had nominations and awards.

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.

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.

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.
