I'm not sure how to put what I'm feeling into words, but I'll try. I decided to watch this drama after quickly reading the synopsis and seeing that the rating is pretty high (Viki). I immediately realized what type of drama it would be within 5 minutes of starting the show, but I decided to persist because the plot seemed interesting. The sound effects and 'comedic' editing told me all I needed to know. I've survived 2012-14 K-dramas and several Taiwanese dramas, this isn't my first rodeo.
They describe the MFL as 'quirky'... that's a funny way of spelling insufferable. I do understand that they're all supposed to be 18 and relatively immature but, the antics between the leads are more like preteens bickering than young adults. I'd like to think that that is bad writing (though, the acting was also...). They chose to write her in as ditzy and naive, but also amazing at examining corpses(and crime scenes??). I'm not sure how this leads to her becoming a pseudo criminal investigator. I genuinely said aloud to myself, "What is going on? What's happening?" whilst watching her turn into Sherlock Holmes. The criminals were also so willing and ready to confess to being murderers like damn. Did she ride the Mystery van to the scene? I've only seen that level of honesty in Scooby Doo, Side note but I would like to say the moment I saw Leimo I said, "That's a guy." (if the actor/actress is trans however, I'm really sorry).
Moving on, this show had Sailor Moon/Hannah Montana level of disguises. It was actually funny/insulting. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good gender-bend drama, but at least they mention how feminine the person looks. In this drama, the second male lead goes through a Mulan type of sexual assessment. The music video was one of three scenes that got a genuine laugh from me. The other two being when they threw the girl from the bridge and the armpit scene.
Now knowing that the show is not meant to be too serious, I can ignore many things. What I can't ignore however, is the flute scene with Xuewei. I was in shock they thought they could get away with a solid piece of wood. I just want to know what was the budget; why couldn't they afford a faux flute (my doctor gave me one as a reward when I behaved in visits, I know it isn't hard)? I was just so offended, I paused in disbelief.
I'm going to end it here before I write an essay. I almost finished this drama. I was determined to, but I know how it's going to end lmao. I don't have it in me to sit through four more episodes and witness the clownery. That being said, it seems that others enjoyed this. So if you're into corny/cheesy dramas, I'd recommend. Also, the music slapped. Straight bangers alone, especially when Leimo played/sang.
