Please Feel at Ease Mr. Ling (2021)

Cliche but...

Honestly speaking, scripts has either been this or that. When watching dramas; to those avid drama watchers will know how it ends or whats the next scene. As one of those avid drama watchers for both K/C- Dramas. This series is good! Albeit cliche but the casts were just right for their characters. And what?

There is an unexpected plot twist!! The one whom you thought was bad? Nah, he wasn't the one. With endless cute scenes, business rivalry scenes... The drama was quite wholesome!

It's a relatively cute drama to be frank and if i have a choice, i would definitely choose to watch and not skip it!

Overrated type of drama

very bad drama. I watched this drama because I like FL and tried watching this drama, the first episode wasn't too bad I could enjoy watching, episode two ML was very stupid and created a lot of problems for FL why do people like to portray rich and stupid guys who can't even do it? what's wrong, if I become FL it's better to report to the police than to take care of useless humans like that. I tried to watch longer because of FL but it's still a trashy and cringe drama. I don't know why it's given an 8 rating even though the IMB is only 7 and I think 7 is a bit high for a drama like this, this drama is very overrated and in my opinion the only thing that makes the rating high is the FL.

Para mim foi decepcionante.

Foi o primeiro C-drama da atriz Zhao Lu Si que assisti que não gostei. Na verdade o enredo em si não colaborou. Os atores são impecáveis, mas a história foi triste.

Começou até bem, mas depois só foi ladeira abaixo. No sentido de eu achar os personagens doentios e da história em si não abordar, com detalhes, certas partes, que para mim eram importantes para o enredo.

Mas o cúmulo foi o casal secundário, que era irmãos de ambos. Gente! Esse povo precisava ser internado, urgente. Que casal doentio foi esse? O pior que era os dois! Ela criou num imaginário um amor doentio, que o principal amava ela e a Prota surgiu pra atrapalhar esse romance, e a criatura mesmo sendo pisoteada pelo homem, achava que ele estava sendo manipulado e amava sim ainda ela. Mulher! Vá se tratar. E o pior: é perseguida por um homem que se encobre numa paixão, que pra mim é doentia. O cara perseguia ela 24 horas, sabia o paradeiro dela, sob o pretexto que estava preocupado. Gente isso não é normal não. Eu acho que eu criei uma aversão enorme por esses personagens que isso fez com que eu não simpatizasse pela história. Apesar de até gostar dos principais.

E no final. Que foi o momento onde, até que para minha surpresa, ele se mostrou como o vilão da história. Acho que em nenhum momento suspeitei, pois estava impactada com o casal. Ele acha tudo bem matar o irmão, por conta de um sentimento de inferioridade, criado pelo pai, mas a mulher decide esperar ele sair da prisão. Pois ele amava muito ela e merecia que o esperasse. Oi? Gente! Quem criou essa história é louco, kkk.

Pra mim isso que destruiu tudo!

Recommended for Rom-Com Enthusiasts

I have only watched 6 episodes of this drama and was surprised by the fast pacing. It's just a feel-good cohabitation drama wherein the female lead accidentally hit the male lead resulting in his temporary amnesia. Thus, the female lead took responsibility of him and let him live with her. There's more to the characters' backstory but I don't want to spoil anything so I'll let you discover it yourself. There's nothing special or unique with the plot. Zhao Lusi is hard-carrying in the acting department since Liu Te is not doing much (to be fair, I believe he's a new actor so there's that). If you want a feel-good rom-com drama, then I would recomment this.

Couldn't even finish the drama because I was so put off by the male lead.

First, lets address the acting of the ML which could be compared to that of a dead fish, though I would argue that at least a dead fish has more emotions than he could ever portray. Was he happy? Sad? Shocked? Disappointed? I'll never know.

Second, lets address his character which somehow was even worse. Firstly, he lies about losing his memory because he wants the FL's shares (which she is unaware of) I assume to take over the company. Secondly, after she nursed him and gave him a home, he leaves her and then when he shows up out of the blue he expects her to be jumping for joy. On multiple occasions he crosses boundaries that she makes very clear she does not want crossed. their are so many awful occasions but the last straw when he forces his way into her brothers apartment and tries to button up her shirt. when she says that she can do it herself he insist upon it as if she isn't a whole grown women that cant do a simple task.

Next is the dialogue which honestly you can tell they tried to make romantic but it just came of as cringy and predatory. And although the plot is filled with clichés that doesn't usually bother me if its done well, but for this drama its like they just were throwing random tropes in for the sake of there being a trope.

I feel bad for the rest of the cast because their acting was actually good and there was a lot of potential but the ML ruined everything.

Very Messy Drama

I very much wanted to like this, but I really couldn't find anything redeemable about it. The ML is cute, but he looks so young it was hard to buy him as a CEO of a huge company, not to mention he is a bad actor. The FL was cute, but her acting was also terrible. The plot of the drama is...rich guy, poor girl, and family drama. There was so many thing happening like faked-amnesia, secret crushes, adopted kids, motherly hate and a bunch of other crap I don't remember. I leaned a bit heavily onto the FF button, so I can't recall it all. On the plus side this drama was only 16 episodes on Viki, and with the help of the FF button I finished it fairly quickly.

And another dumb storyline goes like this: rich guy, poor girl, both have bodies of 12 year old boys and the girl is also portrayed as a dingbat.
She bumps into a stranger with her moped and let's a complete stranger live with her. She doesn't even know his name, or if he is a rapist, child pedophile or murderer. He is controlling and tries to recreate scenes from what's wrong with secretary Kim. He sets her apartment on fire, floods it and doesn't fix anything. When he floods her apartment, instead of freaking out and getting mad about the damage and money she will have to pay tobrepair the damage, she puts headphones on him to calm his fear of water.

I couldn't get past episode 3. This is the stupidest written show. Pass, you won't miss anything.

What happened here lol

TLDR: Didn't finish because I realized I could be watching literally anything else instead.

Story: Fine, nothing extraordinary. I haven't watched that many dramas before (15-20) so some of the tropes may not have gotten to me as much as they might someone with more shows under their belt but I was fine with most everything. Though the classic nonsensical business meetings with over the top reactions and consequences were kept alive and well. I will say some of the situations/misunderstandings that are ubiquitous in the genre can be pretty annoying in this show.

Characters: Most of the characters I thought were ok. Nothing amazing but also nothing egregiously bad either. Side characters served their purpose and most did pretty well. The highlight for me was the doctor. He was entertaining in most every scene he was in and served as some light comedic relief but still nothing spectacular. Disclaimer, I often concurrently watch dramas so the comparisons I'm inevitably making are to Love me love my voice and my neighbor is a gumiho which have incredible supporting casts so I might not be as high on some of the side characters as I might otherwise be.

I thought the FL was ok. She isn't the greatest here but she does enough to actually be the lead which is not something that can be said for the ML and boy do I have stuff to say about him. I do wonder if I'm recalling her parts more fondly because the only thing I have to compare her to in the show is probably the worst performance I've seen in some time.

I'm not sure what went wrong with the ML but he doesn't work at all. I'm not well versed in the technical side of the TV show business so couldn't really tell where the character was fumbled but either the actor was horrendously miscast or the director/writing staff gave him nothing to work with. Every time he shows up on screen the life is literally drained out of the show. He has less charisma than a garbage bag and I cannot for the life of me figure out how the final product was greenlit. He is supposed to be some highly competent CEO but he has the emotional maturity of a 1st grader that couldn't solve his way out of a paper bag. He is a rude, inconsiderate, socially inept a hole that couldn't smile even if all his dreams came true. I think the main issue for me is that multiple aspects of the show do their best to tell you that he is a likeable guy. They've got the obligatory slow mo shots with touching background music, injury/undressing scenes, coincidental touching scenes, and other girls pining after him but he does nothing to make you believe that any of that is real. I cannot name a single positive quality about him other than he has boatloads of $$$. My first litmus test for characters that are supposed to be likeable is whether I would ever willingly spend time with them and the answer for the ML is a fat no. The disparity between what the show wants the ML to be and what he actually is is so jarring that I can easily say he is the worst lead character I've ever seen put to screen in the genre and is probably up there across every medium. His character would've been fine as that supporting extra that gets 2 minutes of screen time throughout the show but watching a plank of wood pretend to be something it isn't for 40 minutes straight is kinda tough.

Maybe a bit harsh on the ML but I cannot stress enough how much the character stuck out to me. He is the sole reason I stopped watching. The show probably has lots of other problems but its hard for me to think of them because everything looks way better than it should when compared to the ML.

Music: Not a huge music person so don't have much to say. Didn't add any of the songs to my playlist but also didn't hate any of them.

Rewatch: Literally none. The ML did everything he could to stop me from finishing my first pass through so no chance I'm ever giving it a second.

This is not my final review OK?!

Please Feel at Ease Mr. Ling.
Plot:
I am not fan of youth Chinese drama but still I watch them. So first of all this is not the first kind of drama that I encounter that has a the same plot but it will change on how they put things together by having a good scripting and character build up. This one is kind of cute if you watched "put your head on your my shoulder" I'm not sure if that's the right title, then I would say that this one is going to be good. By the way the first 3 episodes seems to be in a hurry or is just me who has a lot of expectation.
Character:
To be honest the FL here is one of my favorite. I watch her dramas and she's good at it. The ML is cute and domineering at the same time. (Lets talk about it when I'm done watching it OK?!)
Currently watching this drama!!!
