the_content() function is not working for me when I query a custom post type.

the_content() is not working for me when I try to query it from the custom post type I have made. I am applying this lesson in a personal project. The code goes like this:

           <?php
                            $args = array ( 
                                'post_type'  =>  'overview' 
                            );
                            $query = new WP_Query( $args );   
                        ?>

                        <?php if( $query->have_posts() ) : while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

                            <?php the_title(); ?>
                            <?php the_content(); ?>  

                        <?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Finally got the answer, it should have been the_field() function and reference to the field of the custom post I'm querying.
