Reading all the super positive reviews and it's also about a favourite subject I was excited to watch this. I forget the name of the American movie where our protagonist is on a train and has to solve a similar thing. He does it in the space of a movie, not 15 repetitive episodes. OMG I am so done and I've stuck it out to the end of episode 10.
I was going to try to finish it tonight but I just can't bear it any longer.
By E7 I was so close to start skipping, fast forwarding, but I persevered. I honestly believe you could totally skip episodes 6 to halfway through 9 and not lose a thing.
I had foolishly thought it ended at 10, but no there's another 5 left.
At this point I'm not even sure I'll bother to ever finish it. It's just not that interesting I'm sad to say.
Another reviewer said it is fast paced.....WHAT ?!?!?!?!?!
I was thinking of pulling some teeth out to pass the time.
And as another person hinted at, the characters are just dull, all rather similar. Yes the young lead is really good, she does convey emotion at times. Most of the others are somewhat cardboard.
I think I saw this on one of those YT channels that give a round-up of various movies. Well i won't be taking their suggestions lightly next time. I even came here to see what people's thoughts were. I'd have to imagine that all of the great reviews are from Chinese people and/or people involved in this series.
10/10 would not recommend. I'm annoyed and fatigued.
Edit. OK so I just had to find out what happens so I persevered. Sunken cost fallacy. The last 2 or 3 episodes began to give some ideas about what has happened to get to this point. One does have some changes of thought and it did get a little emotional at times.
The whole thing could very easily have been done in less than half the time though, no doubt. A third or quarter could be achieved I reckon.
So yeah giving it 3 stars is more than I'd like, but hey it is well filmed if nothing else.
Decent ending, wrapped it up at least but MEH.
