Only watch if there is nothing better available

The story was based on an interesting premise of the relationship between a man who abhors lies and a woman who is constantly fibbing. But the FL 's dry as bones personality really did not go with along with the premise. The woman was supposed to show high social EQ and defuse situations by stretching the truth or downright lying, but honestly there was such a lack of charm and expressiveness in the actor that the irritable and zero EQ male lead appeared more scintillating. I think this is a case of miscasting. The entire logic of the FL being able to make good the situations spoilt by the ML's unbending rules didnt come through.
I was trying to imagine someone with natural charm like Bai Lu or Dilraba ; with such actors the premise would have worked well. With Liang Jie's earnest , colorless and timid personality, it comes unstuck.
Full marks to the actor playing the male lead's sister. She was absolutely glorious and here's wishing the FL had even an iota of that child actor's animation.
Xin Yun Lai performed the ML really well. He brought out the dourness, the quiet watchfulness very nicely . Its a shame that his act was not able to get support from Liang Jie.
Plot holes like the prolonged senseless revenge track ( really? the ML was a kid and how was he responsible for a man losing a legal case?) , the volte face by the Xi Yun from a great boss to a mean avenger detrated from the quality of the story. Repeated tropes like the FL falling into the ML's arms at least 6-7 times were cringe.. I think creators overuse these stupid tropes only when the chemistry between actors is missing. A big downside.
I am sorry I just couldnt drag myself to watch beyond episode 16. I rushed to MDL to read what others had read before finding that other people were similarly bored out of their wits midway too. Dropping at #!6
