I tried
Before anyone accuses me of disliking this drama just because I mostly watch BL, hear me out 🙂I first knew the male lead from Addicted, but I was genuinely open to watching his non-BL work.
The first episode was already a bit underwhelming, but I still decided to give it a chance. Unfortunately, things went downhill fast. There’s a plotline where some random guy who isn’t even particularly convincing manages to coerce his father into giving him 100,000 RMB (around 14k USD). That’s an insane amount of money to just hand over so easily. Unsurprisingly, the same guy keeps scamming them for even more. That whole arc felt completely illogical to me, and honestly, it was enough to make me drop the drama.
On top of that, there’s basically zero chemistry between the main leads. The female lead is constantly flexing her non-existent muscles and beating people up. I’m all for female empowerment, but please make it believable. There’s no way someone with her physique is realistically taking down four grown men in a modern drama. Maybe I could suspend disbelief if this were a wuxia or fantasy setting but here, it just doesn’t work.
Overall, the plot lacked logic, the romance didn’t land, and the characters didn’t convince me. It just wasn’t for me.

O pior pai da China!
Eu nunca tinha tido tanta ojeriza de um casal secundário antes de assistir este dorama. Ainda não terminei e já detesto até o fim o pai do protagonista. Arrogante, prepotente, egoísta, manipulador, traíra, ganancioso, um tremendo babaca! Ainda paga de bonzinho sofredor e conseguiu conquistar a amiga da protagonista, que tinha o amigo do protagonista atrás dela, com um amor e carinho genuínos e muito fofinho. O pior casal secundário que já vi! Sem eles dois (eca!) este dorama seria demais!Was this review helpful to you?
