THE SHORT VERDICT:
On the upside, Show is gorgeous to look at, and features two beautiful leads in Crystal Liu and Chen Xiao.
Best of all, our leads are both strong characters in their own rights, and who also share a lot of crackly chemistry; y’know, the kind that threatens to leap off your screen and slap you in the face. 🔥
On top of that, Show is a proponent of female independence AND female friendships. How rare! 🤩
On the downside, Show loses some of that excellent dramatic tension in its second half, which can be a damper. I also didn’t jive so well with Show’s sense of humor, a lot of the time.
Still a very solid watch overall, though. Watch it for the leads, if nothing else. 😁
