A glimpse into the fashion world with a bit romance and melodrama.
Recently, I just finished this new drama, that has been airing since August. It's called Count Your Lucky Stars . Its supposedly based on a Chinese novel, but I haven't read that, well I can't since its not available to me. Anyways this drama I was excited for, after seeing the trailer, when it firat came out. Plus, I had high expectations since it stars Jerry Yan, who played Dao Ming Si in the old Taiwanese version of Meteor Garden , and Shen Yue who played Shan Cai in the 2018 Meteor Garden remake. It would really cool to see how the actors also pull of the romance with such a huge age gap. Now, in dramas, I don't really kind 15 year age gaps, I mean if the actors can pull of their roles and chemistry romance, then I'm all for it.
In this drama, how should I put it? I was disappointed, it was really not that well written plot wise and the character developmemt was just too flat. While it was supposed to be more of self discovery about career and romance, it turned into a melodrama halfway through the series with entanglement from jealous second lead females, and finding a someone surprising. Basically the twists they gave in the series did not have anything to do with leads. Plus, it was more focused on Jerry Yan's character than Shen Yue, because it never really showed her developmemt as a fashion designer. The them with luck being switched is shown in the first few episodes, but after that there is not many funny incidents as previously shown. Its starts to turn to tragedy focusing on Jerry's Yan's character. Another thing, was that his character was too 1 dimensional and flat, it never changed through the whole series as well.
For the synopsis:
Tong Xiaoyou ( Shen Yue) is a an aspiring fashion designer, hoping to make it big in the fashion world. However she has bad luck whenever she tries. Lu Xingchen (Jerry Yan) is a well known designer and chief editor of a famous fashion magazine who always had good luck, however he has a depressing and dark past. When these two accidentally meet their luck becomes switched and start to form an unusual bond through luck? How will they survive the obstacles in their way? Is luck the main basis of success?
My rating: 1.5/5
** I gave this a this a 1.5 rating, because the romance and chemistry was actually not that bad, but could have been better.
