Derailment: A Disappointing Performance Hindered by Good Looks
01: The lead actor's acting skills are lacking, but they do have good looks. Looking at the two main actors in "Derailment," it's hard to deny their attractiveness. Lin Yi's long legs, dressed in a suit, exude a powerful executive presence. And with those delicate features, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he looks wealthy, handsome, and educated.
The female lead, Liu Hao Cun, also possesses long, slender legs, flowing curly hair, and a sparkling short skirt, giving off the aura of a rich heiress. Even if she wears inexpensive clothes, her good figure cannot be hidden. One might think that for their first meeting, it's understandable for the male lead to dress in a suit to showcase his heroic image. However, it's a bit excessive to keep wearing a suit all the time.
However, a surprising scene unfolds. Every time the male lead meets the female lead thereafter, he continues to wear a suit, even when riding a motorcycle, complete with a pair of leather shoes. Consequently, viewers couldn't help but mockingly comment, "Is the suit glued to his body?" It hasn't been long since then, and Jiang Xiao Yuan has already discovered his true nature—he's actually cheating on her with her best friend.
Jiang Xiao Yuan, betrayed by the two closest people to her, feels heartbroken and utterly devastated. She can't even reach her father when she tries calling him, and there's no one around who genuinely cares for her. It must be said that this kind of beginning is quite cliché, resembling some short dramas. It's one thing for the plot to be cliché, but attention to essential details should still be given, yet it's completely lacking.
In conclusion, it was initially thought that the flood of negative reviews for "Derailment" was merely an attempt to criticize for the sake of criticism. However, considering the overwhelmingly unanimous negative feedback from the audience, it seems to make sense after all.
