Dancing in the Storm (2021)

Action and Romance Drama

First of all, I watch this drama because I like the genre of action that include some of the romance. Most of the action drama does not involve with the romance at all or if there was a romance it might only for several part. But this drama mostly was included the romance.

The cast for male and female were good since they played their character very well and they have a great chemistry. For the other casts also the same since they can do their part very well.

The story was started from Jun Jie and his friend, Yun Hao came from same orphanage and they worked at Mois together as a cyber security. They met FL, Maggie Zhou and both of them fall in love with the same women. But after knowing both ML and FL had fall in love each other, Yun Hao do not try to confess or stirred up their relationship but still remain as their friends. After their master, Chen Gang died, the conflicts was started one by one until the end. There were so many people come and died because of the conflicts and you can see they were fight and lossed the people who were nice to them. The story from started to the half of episodes were quite boring but after the end of the episodes you will found it better and interesting to watch.

For the ending, it was a happy ending and nice since FL and ML was getting married. They hold their marriage reception just to catch the remaining enemy which was quite funny to see. But FL was so pretty and beautiful in the white dress. ML also handsome in penguin tuxedo. It's a little bit sad since SL does not have a partner till the end. He just remained as main lead best friend and help them with their reception.

Finally, I'm finished to watch all the 43 episodes without skipped. It's quite interesting and challenges for those who like an action drama.

Draggy and Miscasting of FL

I watched it because of the ML (William Chan). It started out strong, but 1/3 of the way into the series I started skipping a lot. Repetitive, draggy scenes.

The Good:
- ML (William Chan) - while he's not the best actor, I do enjoy watching him. He's charming and has a way to exude an adorable sweetness. But this is the 4th drama in a row that I've binged watched of William Chan and I've noticed that he tends to lack chemistry w/ the female leads in every series. I'm not sure if it it's him, or miscasting of the female leads. The only person he had chemistry with was Sandra Ma in Age of Legends, it was decent but not strong chemistry.
- 2nd ML (Guo Jia Hao) who played the best friend - he was very likeable and I rooted for him.
- The villains played their role well especially Ruan Tai Yuan, she displayed an underlying creepy psychotic aspect with a small streak of morality.

The Bad:
- FL (Gulnezer Bextiyar) who played Maggie is beautiful w/ stunning eyes. However she's not the right casting for this role as a tough FBI/CIA special ops captain. She was not believable at all. She's way to dainty and her wardrobe was ridiculous - always looking like she came from a high fashion show. The action scenes and her holding a gun was comical.
- Draggy and repetitive scenes. I skipped a lot
- Unrealistic scenes. For example - Lin Jun Jie a tough agent w/ exceptional martial arts skills kept getting captured. And in one scene he was tied up and tortured for days on end, ripped clothes, bloodied, swollen, etc. Yet when he finally gives in and gives the villains what they want...the next scene he suddenly looks fine, clean cut, no injuries at all.
- Some of the wardrobes were ridiculous and unrealistic. The women working in MOIS - even nerdy computer experts dressed way too fashionable with mini skirts and high heels. Meng Lien w/ the one eye - his wig looked so fake. Mandala the female assassin that was imprisoned in a maximum security cage - yet she had perfect hair and makeup? Made no sense.
- The dubbing of the foreign characters sounded so silly, especially when they spoke English.
