This is my first Wallace Huo drama - disappointing. The production team just needs to involve the USA, that I don't understand, why???
We have characters from the USA and the Chinese team speaking to each other in their respective language. That's just effing amazing. We all know that in reality that cannot happen. So for the sake of keeping things smooth and easier for the all, they decided that the language spoken by the Chinese when conversing with the Americans is by default English, but heard as Chinese for the sake of the audience or hmmmm whatever. This flew out the window when you get scenes where the Chinese character replies to the American in English, so where is the logic?
Yes, I know I can be such a difficult customer to please. Just that the reasonable logic (therefore indirectly insulting audiences' intelligence) is not considered at all. Simon Bo should be able to speak English, fluent or otherwise since he spent his academic years there and professionally worked for the FBI. Strange isn't it.
Another part I have a gripe with - the contact lens effect when Simon was portrayed as the other one - just so he could look more menacing? Can't the actor do that without making his irises larger? And all the red wine they drink seemed to be watered down LOL. The production team even tried to pass off as American a guy that speaks with what sounded like Eastern European accent.
The only actors that I look forward to watching in this drama was Wang Kai and Zheng Yin. The first half of this drama (episode 1 to about 13) is good but went downhill after.
