Detective Husband I've Never Met (2022)

Simple and relaxing romance with a logical and a bit detective plot

One of the dramas with really short episodes, which however did pretty good job in telling a more or less meaningful story in a very short time.


Plot: 8,5
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Main idea:
--> Nothing extraordinary, but I still really enjoyed it.
_______________________________
★★★★★ Logic:
--> Whole plot has logical continuity and doesn't contain much irrational twists.
_______________________________
★★★★★ Pace:
--> It was interesting till the end. Since every episode has something about 4 minutes, the story pace is really fast. It was quite refreshing, no complicated plots or fights that dragged on for too long.
_______________________________
★★★☆☆ Impression:
--> Quite nice.
_______________________________
★★★★★ Skip rate:
--> Didn't skip anything.
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Annoying factors:
--> Besides a romance, it’s also a detective story and sometimes it felt a bit funny, how they caught a criminal with a few vague guesses and no proof and the criminal didn’t try to resist in the smallest and just willingly told the whole story behind his crime… But well we really can’t expect the plot to be ultra-realistic, when there are only 4 minutes per episode.


Characters: 9,5
_______________________________
★★★★★ Leads - Qin Mo and Gong Yi Yin:
--> Both leads are clever and reasonable, the interaction between them are quite cute and although there was no space for any deep feelings evolvement, both protagonist managed to get some chemistry between them – I actually admire that.
_______________________________
★★★★★ Supporting characters:
--> There is no time in this drama for supporting characters, so all of them are pretty simple and single-minded. But in spite of having so little screen time, all of them gave the right vibes that supported the whole story and their personalities made sense (not like in other dramas, where some characters seemed to fall from sky, just for one of the leads to stumble over them).
_______________________________
★★★★★ Overacting:
--> Kind of cute or absent.
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Acting:
--> Liked the acting.
_______________________________
★★★★★ Annoyance level:
--> Not annoyed at all.


Background: 7
_______________________________
★★☆☆☆ Soundtrack:
--> Didn't notice any particular song, it was decent and neutral.
_______________________________
★★★☆☆ Visuals (camera, scenery, visual effects, ...):
--> Average.
_______________________________
★★★★☆ Wardrobe (costumes, hairstyles, makeup, ...):
--> Really liked it.


Rewatch value: 7
I assess this value based on impression, skip rate, annoyance level and overall preference.


Final verdict: 8,5
Whole drama is light-weighted and relaxing. There were no annoying factors, that would make me dislike the plot or some of the characters. It’s one of the simple bed-time romances, that makes one relax, not worrying about anything.
