Dear Drama,

You’re 30 episodes too long. Liu Hao Cun delivers, but she can’t save this when your male lead can’t lead, romance isn’t romantic, and suspense lacks suspense. You start with a parallel world theme, but you spend more time in a salon. Your mastermind is someone I care nothing for. FL’s friends, who I like, vanish from the plot. 

Maybe if you had told me you’re actually a salon drama, I wouldn’t feel so scammed.

Sincerely, 
cynlynn
