I would definitely recommend people to watch this drama. At first I was not used to the slow pace, the lack of background music and colours which make this drama kind of creepy and heavy. However later I was completely absorbed by how each and every characters and events play out, either because the drama’s pace was getting faster or the characters and events were harder to read or both. I then understood why people kept commenting saying “Don’t give up MARS, you won’t regret it” coz’ I am not regret watching it. The drama tackles most issues that are not commonly discussed and plays out very well. One thing I found most enchanting is the psychology of the characters that are described. The drama kept urging me to question the character choices and the similarities and differences between each and every characters mind to the point that I found them very real, vibrant and alive. I would say the drama portrays the twists of the minds very well. Another thing is that the story is very synchronising; at first you thought they are fragments of many tragedies but they all connected at the end. The only thing that stops me from give the story full mark is because its lack of focus on some characters and thus make the characters behave illogically and you kind of feel what about xxx and xxx especially Quiluo. While the story portrays Ling very well, Quiluo sometimes was forgotten. So you kind of feel Quiluo’s fear very real and vivid at the beginning, then it gone then it came up again and I just feel Quiluo transformed too quickly. Well I am not saying the drama messed up when portray Quiluo, they have described her very well, her insecurity and fear. But I just love to see more because just as much as Ling, I think Quiluo character is an interesting one or at some point, even ‘darker’ than Ling; but at the end she transformed too quickly to a ‘Mary Sue’. I know I know, this is already enough for a 21 episode drama but I am being harsh on it coz’ I love it that much. The acting, I have seen drama that actors the character’s inner devil very well so I think the acting of the cast are not the best yet. While I would not say the acting was superb but I can feel the chemistry between them and I think they have done very well, especially Vic Zhou who had to portray two very distinct beings. After all, the drama’s characters are very hard to portray because of they were formed by layers after layers. About the music, the drama lacks of background music however I think it was perfect for this drama. It can totally bring out the deadliness of the whole drama, like the traps that the characters wanted to break free from. You can totally feel their worlds are such a deserted and lonely place. And when there is music, it served its purpose, whether to make the drama more dramatic or peaceful or happy or full of hope.
