Don't Waist Your Time
I watch this drama because so many people recommended it. I was disappointed. By the 10th episode I founded my self board. I could not stand the game playing between the lead male and female characters. Everyone new that they liked each other from the people in the classroom to the friends in the dorm. I could not take the female lead playing naïve and stupid. The male lead with his sarcastic and one expression answers. I could take this behavior in high school but they are in college. I found them immature. When he finally confess in episode 18 then she has to think about it and then don't want anyone to know. Let us not forget about the 2 characters that had obsession with the lead characters. Please girls if a boy tell you so many times he does not liked you and will never liked you drop it and meet someone else. All the way to the end I found this drama very confusing. I have friend who are Professional Singles they have a career, date a lot and party and they do not want any men to tell them how to live their lives, so no marriage or engagement. Even when I was in college I knew no one that play this game when they like someone. I also did not like how they finalize everything at the last episode could they have made it for the last 3 episodes. I have seen better then this in a drama about college relationship.Was this review helpful to you?
Ireine is a phenomenal actress and she works with what she's got and does an amazing job, Aaron was kind of stiff but she really brought out the actor in him so that was kind of nice but I was a little put off because he is just a new actor so sometimes I was like mm youre kind of struggling. Lol. Other than that, not bad.
The music was nice when you realize it's there!
Overall, I don't mind the show, it was easy and cute but definitely those once in a blue moon kind of shows.

MUST WATCH IT~
You guys must watch it ngl or your life is a waste jk XD... This story is really torture for professional singles like me :(((( like their romance is sooooooooo good. This drama also gives hope for us professional singles that, one day we will meet our partner. I liked how the main castes and supporting castes acted, even supporting castes captured my heart. I loved Yuan Qian's (Ireine Song/Song Yiren) acting (just like my character :p) and my lord... Qin Shen ( Aarong Deng/Deng Chaoyuan) was outstanding... I like boys with cold personalities and I always wanted a boyfriend like Qin Shen ( I mentioned the character here, not the actor/cast). Now many people will be knowing that boys with cold personalities or straight guys are sooo romantic if you become theirs LOLCOMING TO THE POINT
Here, Yuan Qian is the female cast who wanted to change her major from the beginning of the semester but due to god's fate she hits Qin Shen who is the male cast who has a god-level existence in the campus and falls into the lake and her transference exam gets postponed to another day. This incident makes the starting of Qin Shen's soft corner for her (but only a bit tho LOL he is a cold person) then gradually turns to crush, then couples..... with a good ending.

Sweet but....
At the beginning it was really sweet and I was really in love with Qin Shen even thought I am not the biggest fan of cold male leads. When they started to have sweet moments, I was really loving it, sadly, everything got out of control when they started to be a official couple, Qin Shen became so possesive and didn't even allow the FL to be with her childhood friend anymore, I also hate when he grabbed her so agressively, like in just a few episodes their relationship became so toxic. It even reached the point of being kinda creepy and scary, like at the last scene at the hotel, I was literally concerned for the FL, you could tell she wasn't ready but my boy even lied to have them together on the same room, that was just too much, and he wasn't even gentlemanly or made her feel more comfortable with them being sleeping together for the first time, that is just wrong.Also the drama kinda had no plot, of course, this drama is not meant to be supercomplicated and intense but at a point it became boring. I also didn't like how Yuan Qian lied frequently.
And talking again about Qin Shen, I didn't like how he didn't respect when Yuan Qian wanted to have their relationship secret, I understand that may be annoying for him, but it seemed like he purposely wanted everyone to know without Yuan Qian's consent :/
Overall, the drama was nice because they portrayed beautifully college life and it was also really funny at times, but sadly I didn't finish the drama loving the couple because of the ML's behavior.

It was a cute Drama . I really enjoyed this drama.
What should I say it is so amazing love story this focus only and only on romance and a college couples and love triangles. I love Irene song I have watched her so many dramas and I loved her acting in this one also and about Chao Yuan he is also an amazing actor his roll he played it brilliantly I am going to miss this drama so much this a perfect my type drama this type of dramas sites me well and I like them too as I love romantic dramas. I can not say much about the drama but I can simply tell that this is the top 1 drama I have ever watched until know it touched my heart, it's amazing the supporting cast and there roles are so cute fun and amazing I can't tell if you are waiting that you should watch it or not definitely go and watch it right now I can guarantee people who love cute lovey-dovey romance would love it the most ☺️. I can't tell how my feeling are right now after watching the drama, I am so so so happy I can't tell this drama always lifted my mood I can watch it 10 again. I definitely want a season 2 of this drama about there life after graduation. Also if you are waiting to see if it has a happy ending or not as in it name has the word "professional single" but, believe me it has a very happy ending. You should watch and once you watch it you will also fall for it and recommend a season 2. So waiting eagerly for season 2 and will miss them until the next season comes the couple's in the drama are amazing I will really really really miss them . Thanks to all the Professional Single team, the crew members and the castes cause of them we got to watch such an amazing drama. The main thing was i really love with Aaron Deng. OOMMMOO when every time in this drama he smiled he makes my heart flutter.Was this review helpful to you?

Had a lot of potential
This show was super cute in the beginning and had a lot of potential, but once the ML and FL got together, things went downhill. The ML was super possessive over her saying that she cant be with her childhood friends for more than 2 hours, she cant look at him in the eye for more than 5 seconds, and she must report everything that happens. HUH?? The second male lead did have his faults, but in no way was he like the main male lead. Even at the end, the second male lead still respected her and accepted that she did not like him.Was this review helpful to you?

This is a really nice and cute romantic comedy set within an art university life starting with the protagonists first year and ending with their graduation. Although the drama is about Yuan Qian and Qin Shen being single since childhood and how they slowly fall in love, the plot also includes the lives and struggles of other students as well. The male lead, Qin Shen (played by Aaron Deng) falls first for the female lead Yuan Qian (played by Ireine Song), but keeps his feelings to himself until he notices that there’s another guy interested in her and his not about to lose her. The female lead also falls for Qin Shen but, because of her demure character, which lasts for almost the entire drama, it takes some time to respond to Qin Shen’s feelings. Although the leading couple has good fun and playful chemistry, their romantic scenes are not that good; there’s something amiss, especially from Ireine Song, which makes it difficult to believe that she’s deeply in love although one can tell that she likes only Qin Shen as her romantic interest. Even though the drama could’ve shown a more in depth relationship and character development for the leading couple and the supporting cast, the drama is lighthearted and entertaining. Enjoy it!

Very simple, yet sweet story.
STORY---------------------------------------I decided to watch this drama after I saw how many times it was recommended. It is a very simple story, with light conflict. Leads do not make any dumb decisions, and there are no cringey parts in the drama. I enjoyed it a lot, and it's great to watch after watching an emotional and full of action drama. I laughed a lot, but didn't cry, so there aren't any major turns. It's just about how their relationship develops with each other, and how the characters deal with coming situations.
ACTING/CAST------------------------------
Acting was awesome! It has lots of humor and is simple but gets you hooked! The cast is so perfect too.
MUSIC----------------------------------------
Music was pretty good, and I especially liked Song Yi Ren and Wang Run Ze's songs that they sung.
REWATCH VALUE--------------------------
Definitely worth rewatching! It's easygoing, and full of action. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is thinking of watching this drama.

Best drama ever for teens..
This was the first cdrama I watch.. First I saw this through some status videos coming in youtube... I just saw 1st ep im the 1st day, 2nd day I saw 2nd and 3rd ep, and the 3rd day I watched 4,5,6,7,8 episodes... In the 5th day I watched 9th to 16th episode... In the 6th day I watched 17th to 22nd one... In the last I was watching the remaining episodes... When I was watching 24th one I realised that it was the last episode... In the end I was about to cry without my knowledge...So after finishing this one.. I planned to see A river runs through it drama... When I was watching the 1st one of it... I couldn't see it because I was thinking about Qin shen and yuan qian (main roles of the drama).. So I called up my friend And I told her about this... She suggested me to watch Love is so beautiful... But also I can't... So I listened to the songs of the professional single drama... And I was listening it again and again.... And I again came up with the thought of that drama... So I watched the clips of it... If you see my YouTube it will be full of Professional single... I was addicted to it....
So finally I started to put reviews on youtube to watch professional single....
So by conclusion I will suggest this to watch because it doesn't contain any toxic items like sex... Only three scenes will be of romantic...
And I suggest you to see the clips in which Qin shen( main role) will be jealous by seeing the second role and support male role are close to each other... It will be very funny haha😂😂
Professional single 💛💛💛

One cliché among the many.
EDIT: I rethought and lowered my rating. But, I still stick to what I said.Definitely, this drama doesn't deserve a 9.5 if you look at it from all aspects. But, I loved it so much to the point that I rewatched it.
So... is this really worth it?
THE CHARACTERS:
The usual: Yuan Qian, a freshman of the Sculpture Department has no time for games or relationships - she wanted to badly transfer her major to Oil Painting which she had unfortunately lost due to her low College Entrance scores.
Qin Shen: the hero whose heart is same as that of his sculptures. He doesn't pursue relationships either, rather he wishes to excel in his craft and talent.
They have their own paths. So, when they collide, thing go right and wrong.
SATISFACTION OR CAREER?
One thing that I absolutely loved is how they handled this subject. (And possibly explains my high rating.) Most of the plot revolves around the female lead attempting to change her major to the one she loves. Qin Shen, the male lead, is punished by his mother for choosing what he loves - sculptures. [ I didn't even know that such a major exists. ]
The school decides to stop taking in students due to its less popularity.
With only 11 students and not to mention that most of them were reassigned from other majors and had to learn to love Sculpture. [Except maybe two or three including Qin Shen.]
Objectively, parents are right - sometimes choosing what we love would end up with us being jobless. I still don't know what to think of this and it might never change.
THE ROMANCE:
Coming from a Professional Single myself, I would not ask you to trust my rating.
The leads are forced together on several occasions, which I think is the reason they fell for each other. There are time skips right from EP 3, so we do not see the complete growth of their relationship, rather only the tough parts.
I liked how Qin Shen and Yuan Qian were skirting around each other without ever telling what the other was feeling. This leads to some misunderstandings. (They don't get together until EP 16.)
Heck, Qin Shen himself is one jealous person. But, I wished Yuan Qian had tested his limits cause most of the time, it seemed like she didn't. She was afraid of losing him once she got him.
And I've seen comments about how Qin Shen's actions creeped out many. I suck at anything romantic, so I'd suggest you to watch the drama to find out. I didn't care much about the last few episodes, even though I loved the drama.
And this comment sums up what I thought:
https://kisskh.at/40061-professional-single#comment-4723381
[Same thing with LoveO2O - Wei Wei's computer was hacked by the main guy, not to mention that he almost stalked her albeit his intentions... if it was real life, he'd be in jail.]
THE FRIENDSHIPS:
They were one of the reasons that kept me watching the show. All of them were unique and relatable and reminded me of my real life friends. Particularly Chen Qinan and Yi Ming.
I had many crack up moments due to their antics.
For once, there was no "you are better than me" "she is more good looking" talk among them, both girls and boys. They learn to appreciate each other for who they were.
THE ANTAGONISTS...
don't actually exist. The second lead, Song Siyi is never considered a romantic rival. He is good and cheerful to everyone, including the Yuan Qian. He might be even better than the male lead when it comes to possessiveness. But, its clear that what he feels is just his wishful thinking. He is one of my favourites for just being himself.
I didn't particularly hate Ling Wei either. She had a crafty mind, but she wasn't completely evil as some of the others I've come across.
OVERALL:
Its a good watch and throw drama among many of the millions released every year, if we ignore the problematic parts. But, I'm glad that I stumbled across it.

A bumpy first romance
Is this a fun series? Yes, it has all the cute scenes you expect from one of these rom coms, the guy trying to act cool but melting for his love interest. The main female lead is just adorable and she really embodies the "new to dating" awkwardness. You see Yuan Xian grow from a shy, unsure partner to being confident to tell Ling Wei, girl who likes Qin Shin, that they are dating even after the she used every opportunity to guilt Yuan from "gifting" her a job to using depression to keep them apart.Now for the negative, I was a bit shaky on the romance between the main character since up until they started dating, I felt more chemistry in them tentatively showing their feelings. Then after they were openly dating there didn't seem to be any "chemistry" other than a very cute scene with him giving her a necklace and him barking >.< When you watch it, you will see what I mean.. just "ahh?"
Also I was a bit frustrated with how he seemed to punish her for quite some time, and it was seen as ok? I get him being upset for a bit but it seemed to be over a span of a long time.
All in all it was a cute series that took place over the span of freshman year for majority of the episodes and then a peak at them at graduation.

CEOs of Being Single? YESSIRRRRR
This entire show in general was beautiful, from the characters to the lessons learned throughout, this show set my expectations for college. If it ain't like this, it sucked. I first watched this drama because when I read the synopsis, I was really surprised how much I related to Yuan Qian. I'm also very picky about guys. If I see even the smallest unbearable habit, I stay away. The show had a very simple theme: there's a bunch of college kids that bonds under a department.Qin Shen did leave me a little pissed at first, but then I realized he doesn't know how to show his feelings. He tried to make Yuan Qian happy, which I respect and appreciate about him. Yuan Qian is very protective of herself and her friends. She adores her roommates even though she wanted to change majors because of a measly deal with her dad. She also knows how to avoid guys, which honestly is me. Yuan Qian and Qin Shen's roommates are something else. Yi Ming is very sweet, and respects Qin Shen. Yi Ming honestly would be cute with Lu Jia Ning, they balance each other perfectly. Chen Qi Nan is hilarious, he never misses the chance to be mischievous. He's such a troublemaker, and it's funny that he's easily intimidated by Lu Xin Xin when she's mad. Lu Jia Ning so really headstrong. She's determined to get everything the way she likes it, which I really like about her. She's like the rock of the dorm. Lu Xin Xin is funny and a foodie, kind of like me. She takes things to heart so she can be easily swayed. Xue Chong Yang was very intimidated in her first year. She's like the wallflower of the show; she barely has any screen time and honestly is very underrated. Song Siyi might be handsome and a sweetheart, but he was kind of trying too hard. I wonder if Song Siyi and Xue Chong Yang ever got together; but probably not, since in the epilogue he didn't appear and wasn't even mentioned. Ling Wei was just straight up confused through this whole show. Jia Si Cheng's feelings were honestly the most raw out of anyone. He cared about sculpting a lot. Ling Wei may have been his friend, but he liked her a lot. I honestly felt really happy that Qin Shen, Ling Wei, and Jia Si Cheng are happy and are friends again.
