You know those dramas where the ML acts like he does not care about the FL at all but, secretly, he is helping her and protecting her. We know how much he cares for her and loves her while the FL has no clue. Well, I think this is what the writers were going for and they failed. Miserably.
I don't think that even those who are rooting for the main couple to be together see genuine love, from the ML's side, anywhere in their story.
There is love in the secondary couple but it doesn't feel satisfactory either. It feels like scenes put together without feeling. The words were said but they didn't transmit anything.
Now, the only one who shined: Tao, played by Neo. Everything that the ML needed to be, he was (I hope they finally give Neo the ML role he deserves)
That being said, between watching Neo without a shirt and the crazy nonsense of the plot, I have to admit that I had fun.
