Different Romance, But Interesting

I consider this pretty much a pure romance drama. The female lead was very pretty with a very expressive face. I loved her! Male lead wasn’t permitted to show much emotion, apparently. I felt the personally of the two leads were quite unique to the dramas I have watched so far. The conflict and misunderstanding between the two leads came primarily from their almost total lack of communication. They almost never talked casually. Never talked when something upset them. Never talked when one wanted to know something. There was a lot of inner talk from the female lead. But she didn’t speak out loud. This couple interacted a lot over eating. Eating was important to the story. The ML, being a rich CEO, always seemed to wait for FL to make the first move in the relationship. It was weird. He had no game. Didn’t take her on fun dates. Didn’t give her flowers, jewelry, balloons, nothing to woo her. Anyway I could go on. This relationship was really weird, but also strangely entertaining to watch. There was a lot of growth to the major characters in this drama. One thing I found boring was the long relationship chats between the girl friends. Went on too long. Yawn. This gave you insight to the Chinese way families interacted. The sometimes huge expectations the parents had for their children’s future, and the way the children were expected to follow the rules of their parents, even if it was against their own dreams and wants. In the end, looking back, it was definitely worth watching, but not rewatching.
