President, Would You Please Shut Up (2023)

Just completed watching this drama and this is yet another orphaned and traumatised cold CEO who falls in love with a bubbly less rich girl. This time the girl is a country girl, who knows martial arts. The FL is a sweet, kind country girl who was thrust into the limelight and more or less onto the lap of a hard as nails CEO. Of course, the enemy to lover progression is guaranteed. The chemistry between male and female lead was amazing. They are so cute together which makes it easy to ship them. The ridiculously handsome ML really wowed me with his acting though. He did the comedy bits, slapstick, and exaggerated indignation surprisingly well also the support cast is not bad. The gaggle of company secretaries is largely used for light comedic relieve but they are surprisingly effective in that role. The trio of gossipy secretaries are a DELIGHT! You think this is going to be that standard and overused group who are malicious and vicious, but in reality they instantly are on Team Huahua the minute they meet her!! They ship the leads so hard core and I love their interactions among themselves and with Zhi Fei and Huahua. In every C-Drama the one woman character that is always obsessed with the ML but never had a chance was mostly comically in her failed attempts to gain Zhi Fei's attention and towards the end she's still stubborn but obviously not an obstacle or really even a blip on ZF's radar.

Overall I laughed most of the way through this. It was absolutely wonderfully funny. The Acting is great and the story magical. Both leads are superb. Every character was well though out. I loved her Martial Arts and his Grumpiness. This drama was a Joy to watch.

This is a cute drama that could’ve been great if not for making the female lead incredibly smart sometimes, terribly annoying other times, and staggeringly ingenuous for the most part. Rain Lu, as Shi Hua Hua can do cute and innocent very well, but her romantic scenes were not the best. Luo Zheng, as Zhou Zhi Fei, did very well delivering his role, especially when his traumas brought anguish and characters changes to a very smart and seemingly collected CEO of a major corporation. Although there are a few antagonistic characters in the drama, especially related to corporation takeover attempts, the skeleton in the closet was not really Zhou Zhi Fei’s blood trauma but his brother, Zhou Zhi Ran (poorly played by Ye Hao Ran) which turned out to be an evil character with supposedly good intentions that suffered from psychopathic behavior that is difficult to justify. Overall, a nice romantic and lighthearted drama about a mismatched couple finding love was ruined by writers trying too hard to create a mysterious and evil plot line that didn’t fit the overall drama’s tone and atmosphere.
