Good
I liked it drama. I rewatched a lot of times. I mean, the male lead can be too much sometimes but I didn’t mind it as much since it’s only entertainment. In real life, a guy acting like the male lead isn’t right and it isn’t good ideal to idolize it. Besides that, I think this drama is good if you like love triangles, protective, jealous boyfriend. If you don’t then i wouldn’t recommend watching this. The casting was good. The height difference between the main lead actors was cute.Was this review helpful to you?
Sweet little love story but there are some missing parts
As drama has nothing new to show ,same college life then lead falls to each other between this they face many hardships but in this story they individually didn't face the hardship but together they fight for their major (sculpture design ).There are some incomplete parts in the story ,I think so
1.they started the story with introduction of the character and leads met eachother, when girl lead friend's did some mischief work and when they had been scolding at that time entering of mislead and then female lead started narrated the story ,I thought the story would goes in flashback but it was not like that so I thinkbfirst episode is not perfectly link with other episodes .
2 I thought male lead would have some story with her mother ,some emotions related story but they didn't show much.
3. Then with his grandmother he didn't have much scenes I thought ,his grandmother would give some spark to their story in the positive way but nothing happened
What I like the most in the drama that is in last they shown main lead's friend get coupled, they looked so cute together . I like to see their story more but that was a last episode but it is okay .
As a whole it is good drama.

Enjoyable Light-hearted Romance and Feel good Drama : )
I am a very big fan of Fluffy Romance and Rom-Com. And this drama really fulfilled all my expectations. I loved the vibe it gave. I actually watched this last year when it actually streamed but wasn't much experienced in drama field and hence didn't get to write a review.On a personal note, this was my 2nd drama after I entered the drama world and I loved this. I would've at least re-watched it 5 to 7 times. It doesn't have much serious stuff happening and that's why I love it.
Being a very big fan of Run Ze and Aaron, the cast was really satisfying! It had the colourful youth aura and a touch of friendship, which made it even more addictable.
I also loved the OST so much. It really highlighted the small, cute moments between the ML and FL.
And most importantly, I had my first SML Syndrome in this one lol. Like, literally, Run Ze was so cute and sweet, all lovely and caring for Qian. There are moments that I even wanted her to just go on with Run Ze lmao.
I also really liked the Jealousy parts. The cute reactions of Aaron were priceless. But, his acting could've been better. I wasn't whole satisfied with it.
Overall, it was a cute, realistic love story between a girl and a boy of the same university.
Some moments of the ML and FL were priceless and soo cute. It can't be lovely anymore. The whole time I was like:
"OMG Awww.... Why so cute?!". Maybe I am exaggerating it but Being my early dramas, I don't have any objective thoughts on it. Just shared my perspective on it! Hope it helped!!

Good Enough
" Professional Single " is an adorable drama with a cute couple.The highlight of it is actually the female lead. Yes she is acting cute from time to time, and yes, sometimes she is in need of help, but, all in all, she was a strong lead, who didn't get whiny and annoying. Her chemistry with the male lead was spot on as well, and they were adorable together. Chemistry was, in fact, the thing that kept things interesting, as pretty much the whole drama was about them dancing around each other and never getting actually together.
As for the second leads, they were fine, male second lead was adorable and the friends were funny and great, but the female second lead... well, she didn't get no for an answer and she tended to be annoying from time to time.
Finally, the performances were good and the pace pretty fast overall.
So, 7 out of 10.

not too bad but this is not my cup of tea
Finally……In this drama I didn't really get any insight. Whether it's the plot or the characters, it wasn't really deepened other than the main character. The setting wasn't too broad apart from fighting over a guy, vacation, and making a statue in college. I didn't feel like every problem was completely resolved. Then at the beginning there were 5 roommates but it became 4, not to mention it was said that there were only 3 girls in the sculpture department in the next episode it became 6 (I don't understand this inconsistency, maybe I missed something). The main character was said to be the head of the dormitory discipline committee but it didn't continue and was only introduced at the beginning. oh did I miss the explanation part or what?!
There were many things that were confusing and boring... Qing's parents weren't told, also Qian's parents (it's also unclear how her father responded to Qian who didn't change majors :)) even though the problem was often brought up. Even though I felt this was the main problem that needed to be highlighted.
The friendship drama could almost be deepened, especially if the friendship was broad with other majors. The characters of her friends are more interesting to me huhuhu.. I can't choose anyway. Here the setting is like she's ambitious to make a statue and nothing else is told... or did I forget? But yes, I'm bored watching them make statues but don't know what happens next. Talking about statues I always ask, THE STATUES ARE REALLY SOLID AND WERE THEY NOT BURNED? CONTINUOUSLY YOU ARE REALLY GOOD AT MAKING STATUES WEARING WHITE CLOTHES BUT THE CLOTHES ARE STILL CLEAN (Immediately remember the jkt48 song-Wear White Clothes) hahaha.. But yeah, that really makes me confused (this is an insult to the artistic director hehe)
Poor athlete (second lead), he didn't get enough screen time at the end. Even though he is mentioned as the main character in the synopsis, hahaha. Just for display, okay? (btw this character gets a love interest for the main character but always fails, like in a little thing called love in China version. I am waiting for your drama as main character, woke? Hohoho.
Oops, although this drama is almost boring, this drama is not cringe. There are many interesting backgrounds and most of the situations are funny. I don't really love the woman character (not the actress, but the character she play). But…… CAN I HUG AARON DENG BECAUSE HIS SHOULDERS ARE SO MANLY OH MY GOD HIS SHOULDERS ARE STURDY TO BEAR ANY BURDEN BUT HIS HEART IS SO SOFT TO BE HUGGED! If there was any other Aaron Deng drama, I think I want to watch it. This drama is good enough to entertain us who are feeling down because there are many funny scenes even though there are many plots that jump around like frog. Like the plot from freshman to graduation 3 years later and the two main characters become a couple in the middle episode after only knowing each other for a few months when they were freshmen (Remember when the guy was freshman already become a disciplinary commission hahaha). But considering the title they are "Professional Single', WHERE IS THE MANIFESTATION OF 'PROFESSIONAL SINGLE' ????
I don't know, maybe this is not my type or maybe I didn't really look into it when I watched it.

You’re Gonna Need to Decide for Yourself…
She’s a painter; he’s a sculptor. Both are strong-willed perfectionists who are unimpressed with the opposite sex. Both are happily single. And then they find they’re becoming happier when together..Despite this drama having one of my least favorite tropes (clingy, wanna-be love rivals - soooo annoying!), I found myself enjoying it after the first several eps. The FL initially has some serious misperceptions of the ML which irritated me, but once they become friends & he starts breaking down her walls, I got more into the story.
I love the ML’s immediate notice of the FL. He’s the unattainable guy who’s aloof & seemingly cold, but for her he totally melts.🫠 I know some of his actions were questionable & got him labeled as a red flag to many of the watchers so I think each viewer has to decide for themselves the kind of guy he is… & I’ll just leave it at that.
The FL is friendly with everyone & really naive when it comes to the SML’s feelings (which truly bugs me when characters are like that but whatevs), but she has a good heart. Which gets her into trouble sometimes since she allows the female love rival to manipulate & bully her for too long. Plus, again, her total obliviousness to the other guy’s obvious crush on her. {Lord, save me from some characters’ stupidity. 🙏🏻🤣} She’s unfamiliar with all the feelings hitting her so she flounders a bit, but ultimately chooses to follow her heart. Which leads her to him…
They’re cute together, imho (their height difference definitely plays a part in this!) I often rewatch the episodes after they get together when I need a fix of innocent love 😍
Nothing overly complicated or super deep. Just a fairly easy watch about youths figuring out who they are & what they really want to do with their lives, all while experiencing the rush of first love.
Bonus - they both have really solid friend groups which is always pleasant to watch.

Good storyline but kinda toxic relationship
Although i enjoyed the drama till 15th or so episodes, my interest went down pretty quick after that. Male lead is the usual cliche lead, cold and brilliant until he met fl. but the reason i dont like this drama much and gave low rating is because he is way too possessive not healthy possessive but toxic possessive and Yuan Qian(fl) just went along with his interests which makes it all the more problematic. And the second male lead is better with female lead than the male lead since he gives her more freedom and space., their relationship was sweet until male lead tampered with it. only reason for 3.5 rating is because of the friendship, the struggle of art students and the whole growing up.wont rewatch again for sure

Be Aware Before Watching
A not so good dramaTo be honest, this show was a little problematic. I don't know if it's just me or what..but there were so many annoying scenes that I just can't continue it. Like females can't do that they can't do this or WHY ARE YOU MAKING A FEMALE DO THIS?!. It also normalizes obsessive relationships. Like WTF! It feels nice because it's happening in a drama. But if it happens in real life, you will understand that it's not right and it should not happen. However I still thought that I'll complete it but I couldn't. There were many funny scenes but mostly it was annoying, cringey and problematic. The drama wasn't that much good and lovely if you watch it carefully...So be careful before watching it, If you don't like watching the things mentioned above then it'll be just you waste of time.

the story was also great
The drama is very beautiful. The story was also great. All the actors have acted very well. Everyone got into everyone's character. Everyone's acting was very nice. Aaron Deng portrays the character of Qin-shen very well. The place where the actors shot was also very beautiful.Was this review helpful to you?

Gorgeous ML + Cute FL + romcom cliches = average but cute youth drama
Likes: I could stare at Aaron Deng all day...broad shoulders, long lashes, tall and handsome...yes, please.Dislikes: But his acting needs major work. He's a rookie so I give some leeway, but man, is he awkward and stiff. Also, is it me, or did the neck herding look a bit rough and unromantic?
This is a light hearted average college drama with a bright tone that was really easy to watch because there were no useless side stories or characters that no one cares about. The side BFFs are actually funny and enjoyable to watch and always revolve around the central leads so I really liked how I didn't have to skip through any scenes to get back to the OTP. The FL is tiny and adorable and I thought she acted pretty well. The ML as I said is gorgeous, but I found his acting so forced and awkward. He would give a stiff smile at the strangest times. It was really puzzling and I kept wondering why the director didn't help coach him in a better direction, but he did manage to pull off the chemistry with the FL which is the only reason why I continued until the end. When they did get together though, I soon found the story got boring and a bit draggy.
Overall I found it a light, bright, easy watch, but if you can't stomach the rookie acting, then it might not be for you.
