A Tale of 1000 Stars on a Budget - Did we really need this?
I mean, it was better than Star in my Mind but overall still kinda mid. I mean it was pretty enjoyable to watch but I couldn’t help but think of it as a Walmart version of A Tale of Thousand Stars. I don’t quite understand why they would make a drama that’s so similar but obviously inferior and more low budget. Why would you set yourself up for this comparison? Also, I didn’t really like the beginning of their relationship. Like why does EVERY story have to be enemies-to-lovers, can’t two people just fucking like each other? I don’t get why we need to always have them fight over the dumbest things.
Acting was fine, nothing spectacular just pretty average. The standout performance for me was Toptap as Ou. Though he was only a minor character he really commanded the screen whenever he did show up and he was really fun to watch!
Background music was quite basic as well I don’t really have anything to say about it, it wasn’t bad just pretty unremarkable.
GMMTV decided to produce two series, 8 episodes each that are loosely connected I guess (but you could pretty much cut out every scene with Dao and nothing much would change in the story) and I’m not quite sure why they thought this was a good idea. I would have preferred they concentrate their efforts to produce one really good series rather than two mediocre ones.
I think GMMTV is currently just trying out different pairings and gaging audience reaction to see who they should invest their time in. If they were gonna do that, they could’ve gone a little more out there with the plots, but they went the safe and boring route instead. This isn’t gonna get anyone interested in seeing more I’m afraid. GMMTV needs to start taking some risks and coming up with more original ideas, or else they are going to be drowned out in sea of interesting new dramas coming out from other networks.
