Decent filler drama for in-between shows you love
This is the kind of drama you'd watch in between better dramas that you desperately want to watch, but they're ongoing so you have to wait a week (or day) for it to update :/ This drama is pretty regular.
I've seen someone complain about the FL's acting, and that she's all around very stiff. It comes with the territory. All Chinese drama female leads must be cordial, pious, coy, and she can have spunk, but not too much. So this FL fits the bill perfectly. She's not a total pushover as she was in You Are My Destiny, but she's also not brazen and (cringe-ily) assertive like Eugenie Liu's character in Triad Princess. Perfect LUKEWARM. Yipee. She's a lot more likeable than most female leads in Chinese dramas, imo at least, and she defends herself. She's selectively smart when the situation serves to benefit the male lead (as seeming like a knight on a white horse) but she is also self-sufficient enough.
Weirdly this show seems to allude to more adult things (such as condoms, or motels and sex and that sort of thing, though always in a jesty manner) which i find weird cause like, uhm- China? Y'all can't even do proper kisses on camera you sure you wanna act like you're some kind of pg-19 drama or smthn when this has (and always will be) pg-15 or smthn? I'm looking at them allusions like-
The ML is decent enough. The usual with C-dramas amirite? His acting has it's moments for awkwardness, but what can you do? The IDEA of their chemistry is much more compelling than their actual chemistry lololol, but only 12 episodes are out so far out of 31, and they haven't even realised they like each other, much less kiss, so this is looking like a kiss scene ep 29 affair LMAO. I'll delete/edit this review once the show is finished (or once i drop it(?) LMAO) and we'll see.
also the second male lead is a whiny child.
So far, this drama is just decently above average. It has nothing special to it. Just the standard cold, low EQ male lead, and a FL who's the exact opposite. I sort of like that the female lead lies a lot. The male lead comes off as overbearing and ridiculous in the first few eps but he tones down you get used to him. All in all, watch with a grain of salt, and you'll be able to enjoy it well enough.
