Typical Chinese romance drama

I had hope that this would not be a typical drama, but so far it is. Meng Hao Tian is supposed to be a smart, energeticstrong welledperson; yet she meets Leng Si Ming and becomes this mumbling idiot.

You mean the man you don't know who he is or what he does, he grabs you by the risk because you're wet and he takes you up to his room! Give me a break! She doesn't protest she doesn't do anything she just goes with him? This only happens in Chinese dramas. No woman in her right mind would go with somebody she don't even know about I guess in Chinese dramas there's nothing called rape where is the common sense of Chinese females in these dramas? She straight up being a slut. She doesn't know anything about Leng Si Ming, yet he gets in her face, carries her to his room ansshe says nothing.They just met and he is talking marriage. Really!? She is teasing him and he is too arrogant. I guess this is what Chinese producers call romance. In Chinese dramas I don't care how strong FL are, they always become subservant to the rich male lead. She crawls into the bed of a guy she doesn't know very well. He moves next door to her that's creepy. Plus he told her he'd marry her (they don't know each other that well). She has no self respect. She don,t mind getting caught in the bed of a man which she has no relationship with. He dominates her with no push back. This all in episodes 1-7.

The drama series is getting more interestingafter epssode 11. The subplots are better than the main plot. They tackle the situation of what would you do if you found out that your best friends spouse is cheating. What would you tell them or when would yo tell them?Now that they introduce another person in the drama, it is getting really interesting. They seem to tackle someup-to-date issues, like domestric violence and how to address the issue. They addressed it from the stand point is when the perpetrator is celebrity with great connections. I could understand when Jiang Lei Lei was dealing with the age gap and how she thought others would view it.

Like I mentioned before the last half of the series was better the front half. I was thinking of dropping the series because of the first 7 episodes. I still believ that the subplots were better than the main plot. The musical score was good and the songs came in on cue and fit the threme at the time. Deal with certain situations when it comes to the heart was tricky.

If you could get past the first 7 episodes, the drama is worth watching. I would recommend watching from Episodes 10-31.

Terrible actors

Reasons I dropped this series:

1 Age gap trope. I have to admit when I start watching I didn't know that it was this trope. Although it's not the main reason I dropped the series, it didn't help at all to keep watching.

2 It's rare for me but I didn't like at all the female character. Something in her mannerisms and tone made her character antipathetic.

3 The actor isn't too good in my opinion. Maybe he's not too experienced, I didn't search any information about him, but he seemed uncomfortable.

4 The actress isn't great either. It felt to me like she thought she was the lead and she could be arrogant and go up to the stage and say: hey, look at me, I'm the lead in a new series. I don't know, nothing worked for me.

Não vale a pena perder tempo assistindo isso.

Esse é de longe o pior Dorama que já assisti na minha vida uma perda de tempo total o casal principal aparentemente tem química porém a protagonista não gosta do personagem masculino ele é um cara legal um personagem cativante porém ela é tosca e sem graça ela demonstra durante toda a série que não gosta do protagonista e no final isso fica ainda mais evidente. o final do Dorama é desastroso além disso ela praticamente cospe na cara do personagem masculino e mesmo assim ele que parece ser tão sábio, tão altruísta não se dá valor e corre atrás dela. isso só demonstra a falha no romance do Dorama que na sua grande maioria foca apenas em negócios e quase nada de romance . Nota zero para esse drama.não assistam é sério! é uma perda de tempo. A única coisa que é bom nesse Dorama é o casal secundário que mesmo assim não é lá essas coisas. porém agrada e tem um final digno.

Não é um roteiro espetacular, o desenrolar da trama deixa muitas arestas, os personagens são engraçados, mas não são cativantes e a finalização é apressada e sem graça.
As atuações, nem sempre convencem, mas nas cenas cômicas os atores vão muito bem.
Acredito que esse drama estava gravado há algum tempo, mas a equipe de caracterização não soube compor o visual do ator Jin Han (ele é mais agradável de olhar do que o que mostra neste drama, o cabelo dele estava muito estranho).
A trilha sonora não é das melhores.
