hum
Strong start but dragging toward the end. Also, no chemistry between the leads.
(1) Trivial - but still crucial [~]
Sorry I cannot not talk about this, lol.
The product placement in this drama is so ridiculous. It's both obvious and awkward. It's especially awkward when they let the ML says the advertisement scripts as all those scripts are clearly advertising, which is so much out of the character of the ML.
This isn't good for the overall atmosphere of the drama, but can't say it's not good for the consumers. At least the viewers are not psychologically deceived to absorb the product perception. Every viewer surely consciously awares when they put the advertisement in.
---------------------------------------------
(2) Story/Plotline [-]
The plotline is interesting. In the beginning, they present to the viewers quite a few plotlines that make the story multi-layered and interesting. The thing is they can't resolve their own plots when they need to make an ending to it.
The other components around the major plots lead the story off the topic from time to time. They also have problems with weighing and distributing the proportion of the main/important plots and the surrounding plots (esp. during toward the end).
Toward the end, it's actually both dragging and rushed.
- The overall storyline is dragging. I started to not have the motivation to keep on going when I reached around 3/4 of the drama and was stuck for a long time after watching ep.33. I almost dropped it, but still felt it'd be a pity with just 3 episodes left. When I reached the end, I didn't feel anything much anymore. I'd feel quite the same no matter the end was a happy or sad ending.
- For the rushed parts, it's the main conflict resolving part. For me, those conflicts are (1) the male lead's heart (2) the antagonist's crime. Both of these conflicts were resolved in the most cursory way. How dare and casual the writer +director develop plot (1) to the point that is most interesting and then intentionally throw it onto the floor instead of reasonably unchain it. They develop this plotline in the way of setting a promise to give a kind of answer to it. They are able to not develop the plot in this direction, so there wouldn't be that kind of promise, but they did it. And then they just trashed it with just an irresponsible sentence. This isn't about what the answer is. The answer can be positive or negative, that doesn't matter, but the process of having the answer is important. The only positive excuse for this shitty resolution would be the involved actor of this plot had an emergency reason to drop this drama project, so the production team needed to cut things out this way.
For plot (2), they make a lot of loopholes. The antagonist has always been smart and calm. Toward the end, they still show the antagonist as a confident person but at the same time makes a few important unreasonable decisions. It's out of his character. I can only see that the production team can't find a good way to put him down, so here comes the easy, casual, passing resolvement.

(3) Acting [-]
The score drops due to the female lead. She plays herself in every drama she's in. I see her having affairs with each male lead she plays with because she is always the same person. This is the life in the parallel universe of the FL in Put Your Head On My Shoulder as well as of the FL in My Little Happiness. Those are the top two dramas of this FL that I like and made me follow her to this Miss Crow (though I didn't finish Put Your Head On My Shoulder properly as I skimmed toward the end).
There's not much chemistry between the FL and ML either. I feel nothing from both the FL and ML's acting in their love scenes. This is another reason why there's not much motivation to drive me to finish it. The second FL and ML even have more chemistry than the main couple in my opinion.

(4) Production [+]
High production done properly. No complaint.
---------------------------------------------
(5) Music [+]
This is what should be praised the most for this drama. Most of the songs are pretty good. It's above Chinese dramas' average. It's obvious they put their heart and effort into composing these songs for the drama. In the beginning episodes, the new songs come out again and again and most of them are good to the point that can stop me from fast-forwarding the scenes that can be fast-forwarded. I don't remember being stopped from fast-forwarding to listen to the soundtracks in Chinese dramas before.
