Wo Cai Bu Yao Dang Meng Zhu (2023)

I was skeptical when I started watching but after 2 or 3 episodes it got better.

I had seen Ao Rui Peng in 'blood of youth' drama, but the rest of the cast is new to me.
The acting is for the most parts okay. sometimes it's meh but it's not that bad.

The costumes are good.
I have minor complaints on hairstyles though Most of the casts styles looked decent! Some of them didn't really fit in there?! idk how to say it, you'll know when you see them.

I'm not a fan of listening to people's eating and chewing sounds so I couldn't stand FL's eating scenes and that other kid she knew (forgot his name).

The plot and everything is decent enough to me.
This is the first time ever that I'm not annoyed by a love triangle!
They had good chemistry. Be it FLxFu Hong or FLxMurong Chong, I wouldn't be sad. That being said, I prefer the later, Though the sibling pretense makes it awkward to root for it.

Here comes my real issue with this drama: The Ending! it was.... Ah bad? Lazy? idk what to call it.
I do get what they intended to do but this isn't how you do it! I've seen another drama having similar idea but executed very well! So, yes, in the end I am disappointed.
If it wasn't for the ending and the annoying eating sounds, I would've given it 7.5 or 8.
will I rewatch? I don't think so.

Anyways, if you want something to pass time, it's an okay watch.
My advice to those who want to watch this : Do Not watch the last 10 minutes of last episode.

Started well, ending a flop.

Ending was a flop. What started out well, towards the end from episode 20 onwards the storyline gets disconnected and had a silly ending.

It started with an interesting script and storyboard. The FL provided the humour with her antics. BL is heavy in this drama. They tried to lighten it with a romance between ML and FL but failed terribly.

Midway, it got tense and the intricacies of the plot somehow made it less watchable.

Quite disappointed that the ending couldn't be more tight and better explained. Possibly due to different scriptwriters or they just didn't know how to end the story which seems heavy on BL.
