Shuai Ge Bu Ke Yi (2024)

Almost no reason not to watch it

I watched this show when I didn't have time in-between to watch a full episode of other series and I liked it a lot more than I initially thought. The story isn't very original or complex, let alone logical, but it's sweet. I usually don't like the misunderstanding trope that is heavily relied upon here to drive the story, but they actually solved it considerably well and quickly. Overall, this is a series with not much drama, angst or red flags/toxicity. The main character still had her backstory, although I wished to see her grow a bit more.

The acting wasn't top-notch, but not horrible either, and I'm almost sure they exaggerated certain expressions on purpose to make it funny (as it was). After all, I wish this was a tad longer, because I really enjoyed watching.

I would recommend watching it on platforms other than YouTube, though, as the music is almost nonexistent and they had to remove the lyrics. I watched the later episodes on a different platform which really improved the show's atmosphere.

9/10 — and this one surprised me.

With a title like “No, Handsome Guy,” you expect something unserious… but it’s actually clever in the way it plays with expectations. It doesn’t rely on the typical “perfect visual CEO” formula. Instead, it focuses more on personality, chemistry, and emotional connection.

What I appreciated most is that the romance feels earned rather than instant. The attraction isn’t built on looks alone — it grows through interactions, misunderstandings, small gestures, and shared moments. That makes it feel more realistic and less fantasy-driven.

There’s also a refreshing layer of humor. The drama knows it’s playing with clichés, and it almost teases the audience about it. That self-awareness makes it fun instead of predictable.

The reason it’s a 9 instead of a 10? A few plot points could’ve been developed more deeply. Some emotional moments passed a little too quickly.

But overall, it’s charming, light, and unexpectedly meaningful. It proves that sometimes what makes someone attractive isn’t appearance — it’s presence.

And that’s why it comfortably sits at a 9/10.
