Let's Meet Now

Short-form series, fluffy and easy to watch, but lacking depth.

PLOT: FL, an executive at a TV show production company, meets a young 10-meter air rifle athlete (ML). They hit it off, and she recruits him to participate in a reality show. Then she remembers that ML was her childhood neighbor, whom she used to dominate and mistreat. The relationship between ML and FL evolves, but other suitors are waiting in the shadows.

+++ I really like the two main leads (Lu Yang Yang & He Yu). However, the ML has an exaggeratedly childish attitude.
+++ Very nice OSTs.
+++ The tone is intentionally light, with repeated meetings/party between friends regardless of the circumstances.

BUT
### The characters' behavior is poorly written:
- A younger main character, who wants to seduce a Jie Jie, would try to adopt a mature, very rational demeanor. However, that character is irritatingly puerile and childish.
- All the colleagues think about and comment ONLY on the protagonists' love lives/crushes, with repetitive and hyper-intrusive questioning! Such an environment in real life is unbearable.

### The character of Gao Yuan is unbearably stupid. I know he's there for comic relief, but it's not even funny!

=> Watchable if you leave your brain at the door OR if you do something else at the same time, but the series is far from exciting despite the quality of the CL.

Short-lentgh series fluffy & easy to watch but without depth

PLOT: La FL, cadre ds 1 Cie de product° de show TV, rencontre 1 jeune athlète du tir à 10 m (le ML). Ils sympathisent et elle le recrute pr participer à 1 reality show. Elle se rappelle enfin que le ML était le voisin d'enfance qu'elle dominait et maltraitait. Les liens se transforment entre ML & FL, mais d'autres prétendants guettent.

+++ J'aime bcp les 2 main leads (Lu Yang Yang & He Yu). Cpdt, le ML a une attitude exagérément enfantine.
+++ OSTs très sympas.
+++ Le ton est volontairement léger, avec des regpts entre amis répétés qqsoit les circonstances.

### Les comportements des personnages sont mal écrits :
- un ML plus jeune, qui veut séduire une Jie Jie, essayera d'adopter un comportement mature, très rationnel. Ici, le ML est svt puéril, enfantin.
- Tous les collègues ne pensent et ne font des commentaires QUE sur les amours / crush des protagonistes, avec un questionnement répété hyper intrusif ! Un tel entourage IRL, c'est insupportable.
### Le personnage de Gao Yuan est insupportable de bêtise. Je sais qu'il est là pr l'aspect comique, mais ce n'est mm pas drôle !

=> Regardable si vous laissez votre cerveau à la porte OU si vous faites autre chose en mm temps, mais la série est loin d'être passionnante malgré la qualité du CL.

Kind of boring (as nothing exciting happens)

My friend recommended that I watch this drama. She said that it was a sweet show and I doubt her not.

I started on it but eventually, I decided to drop it. I do not detest this show. I do not detest any of the actors/ actresses. The reason why I decided to throw in the towel for this one was because nothing much was happening at all. Another plausible reason could be that I had just watched "Lost Track of Time" which I liked and enjoyed tremendously and so, I could not appreciate the fairly green acting and unexciting plot. I'd say that "LTOT" was like eating Ma La. It was spicy and yet, strangely addictive. I'd say that "Let's Meet Now" is like plain porridge - kind of comforting and easy to have but really quite bland.

Other notes:
I think that the FL lead is quite cute - she reminds me of Sandy Lam.
I think that the little girl, the second ML's sister, is adorable - she reminds me of young Ariel Lin.
I think that the ML is quite handsome.

However, I'm looking for a more exciting and engaging plot!

Although I can probably sit through this drama and I am pretty sure that it'll be a decent watch, I decided not to waste my time on plain porridge but to seek savoury instead! I like my dramas with more taste and meat! :)
