Love's Lies (2018)

I feel like a Monday morning quarterback writing a summary of my feelings again. Another Chinese drama that starts off with so much potential and a talented male lead actor, but unable to find a pathway to credibility or viewer satisfaction with the outcome. First, the story, -- It had a fairy tale feel in the midst of a very serious subject - drug trafficking. Most of the plot was unbelievable and the viewer typically abandons -- but I am always hopeful that there will be a point of redemption with a story this complicated yet written as if the viewer is simple minded. The acting - tortured because of the female lead. The first time I watched a drama and wanted the lead eliminated violently and early. Poor casting of the leads in this drama. The music was okay - repetitive OST for opening., not a drama that would be infused with music. Wouldn't recommend re-watching. Overall, would not recommend this drama unless you have time to waste. If you have already started watching and invested more than 75% of your time, , I do recommend finishing it so you will understand why you should always wait for some genre's of drama to be completed and reviewed before diving in -- it is called the river of no return.

I love Luo Jin's acting and that's why I decided to watch this drama. The beginning was interesting but it got draggy and things kind of repeats itself. I like how the drama is about an undercover agent which makes the drama exciting and thrilling at times. But my goodness did they really have to cast that actress as the main lead? Not only is the character annoying even the actress couldn't act the part. Halfway through the drama, I just kept on watching for the sake of finishing the drama. No, I definitely would not rewatch this drama. I would give this drama 5 stars if not for Luo Jin and also the awesome soundtrack sung by Luo Jin.
