Andy Gregson is not acting... just acting out.
My. Andy is getting close to middle-age mark. Frankly, the more I find disturbing the level of "acting" he is at. If this was his "first work after a long hiatus", then perhaps the hiatus should have been shorter/even longer.
His character here is a "playboy", who is shocked to be kissed (it's a fake kiss, of course) by a decade younger girl. More or less instantly he gets all giddy and confident they'll become a couple. She says such things like she would love to fly away and never come back. He never stops smiling from ear to ear, making funny faces (he is NOT that young anymore, so it looks kinda ridiculous) and grand romantic gestures to this completely strange girl he barely met. When she says that she shouldn't have been born, he finally notices that something is wrong, LOL.
As she is in quite strained life situation, he oscillates among how to help her/get her/get jealous. The more volatile the character, even more the job of its actor. Some of his scenes I just stared at the screen with raised eyebrows. In sharp comparison, Pu Montree rocks in his role. It's him who makes this show a fun watch. Only it gets a bit undermined by Andy's performance, who appears like he's featuring in a comic relief role, too. Either they didn't tell him that he's supposed to be the pra'ek in this, or he really cannot act. As result, his character appears like he's only joking, then the story continues in a way it's revealed that he was actually serious. My.
I was at loss as to how to rate this. It's not average, so I could give it 5 out of 10, like Tiger. It's not boring, so I could give it 2 of 10, like Lion (as I rate boredom VERY low:) It's just beside any kind of audience experience, as here Andy Gregson is not acting, just acting out. Should I give it 1 of 10? That doesn't seem fair to all the other people who worked on this besides Andy. Music is good. Other cast is good. I think I give it a 3. In a way, it's more scornful than 1:)
