The Gifted Housekeeper (2023)

Ep 37 she finally wore flats!

I started watching this drama for Dai Xu. It's been so long since I've seen him in a good drama like Burning Ice or the Legends.

But this drama is about a gifted housekeeper who can walk in high heels anywhere.
High heels walking on grass
High heels walking in the country side
High heels pushing a wheelchair down the slope

The FL "gifted housekeeper" can fix apparently everyone's problems (other than her own). She's a psychiatrist, a nurse, a nanny all in one. Much of the drama lacks focus since it's about everyone else's stories and not really about her.
I keep watching this for sometime of development but it never really happened.

Honestly the basis of the story line isn't bad. Had they drama focused more on the slow burn development between the FL and the Man bun ML (who will grow on you) then the drama would've been more watchable.
Instead I had to skip through the filler lines and creepy 30+ year old calling "MOMMY" left and right. ...

A drama about daily life in the struggle of happiness, dealing with families and wealth

Story
Appears to have lots of co-incidences, although it is supposed to be living in metropolitan Cities (Tokyo and Shsnghai). The main character of Lin Xiao Pan appears to attract lots of issues in her life. It is a struggle about her love to 2 individuals ( doctor candidate Zin whei and architect Zou fei)
Cast
Stellar performances from Jian ranzi as Xiao Pan, and Xang Bo as Zou Fei. I do not like much of the character of Zin whei (appear too cold and haughty). I do not like the pestering and interfering father of Xiao Pan. Little girl Yuan Yi is cute and surprisingly entertaining. Sister Lan who runs the maid agency is pretty and very considerate. Rich girl Nuotu who stole Zin whei from Xiao pan has actually a surprising role and appears to be a nice girl, considerate and not like a rich brat. Grandma of the rich family was initially domineering, but got melow towards Xiao Pan at the end.
Music
Theme music is typical. Not a fond of rock music scenes
Rewatch
Too long (39 episodes) to rewatch again, except for some episodes that are memorable to me
Scene/filmography
Story goes back and forth in Tokyo and Shanghai. Beautiful old historical city of Anhui. Backdrops of typical gymn and pool. Mostly modern home setting. No fancy wedding scenes.
Personal comments
Xiao pan's dad being a pest to everybody around.
Architect Zou Fei's attire and dresses look odd in a modern movie (he likes a kungfu master in a modern business world)
Little girl Yuan yi looks cute, pretty and would likely have good future as a film star. Like to watch out for her future career.
Coincidences happening in this drama are only in a mythical world ... bordering to unbelievable.
Sometimes I felt that Xiao pan is too naive, and appears not to let go things that not going her ways. But it may be a real life portrayal of some people in this world.
