Enjoyable
Things I loved1 The premise. it was cute and fun and original.
2 The FL. I think the actress did a great job and the character was fun, intriguing and relatable. I loved her dynamism and how kindhearted she was.
3 The relationship between the leads. It was quite fun and believable. It didn't put my heart on fire but it was much better than many I've seen lately. There was chemistry between the leads in m opinion.
4 The ML. He's a problem every time I watch a series with him because I never know how I'll rate his performance. I don't think he's a great actor and he usually plays the same role, but here he was good. Hos character was sympathetic and warm rather than cold and aloof.
5 The hotel. I'm a fan of stories that take place in a hotel.
Things I disliked
1 The 2FL. I dislike thoroughly this actress. Her character was bland and boring and she looked too old.
2 The 2ML. He was okay but I didn't like him. I don't think e was well paired with the 2FL and I wish he had another romantic interest. Also a bland actor for me.

Excellent. Very enjoyable
I don't usually like modern cdrama, usually too long,too boring,too many unrealistic"obstacles",too much tear jerking. And "ROM com"are usually too much screaming or spoiled bratty behavior.But this drama has the right balance in EVERY way. I am extremely impressed not just with the acting,but also the directing,the funny script,the thoughtful storyline,and the perfect editing.
Some might say the story is not deep enough but for 20episodes, I only come to be entertained and I thoroughly enjoyed every episodes. If you dwell deeper, there's actually a lot of depth, considering various types of hotels,the competition,the finances,the overall development of the hotel industry, the BTS problems ,the human factors etc etc. I learned a lot just from watching this
The two leads are absolutely fantastic in their acting and their timing. Somehow I feel their previous Korean training have made a difference,I have seen this in other ex k-idol who have returned to China. They're just more expressive,more natural and more adapted to the modern scenarios.
I will certainly follow these two leads again and wish the best for them, and the scriptwriter and director too.
Well done -highly recommended

Quando o pastel de queijo vira pastel de vento
“The Quirky and the Charming” começou como aquele crush que te manda memes, escuta suas paranoias e ainda te leva um café — ou seja, promissor. A história tinha charme, leveza e aquele calorzinho de comédia romântica feita para aquecer o coração sem fritar o cérebro. Mas, infelizmente, depois de um tempo, o drama começou a se perder em aleatoriedades que nem o algoritmo do TikTok entenderia.
A primeira metade do drama foi, sem exageros, deliciosa. Um casal principal carismático, personagens secundários que até funcionavam como alívio cômico e uma dinâmica divertida que me arrancou boas risadas. Yi Ran, com sua atitude meio "não tô nem aí", foi um respiro de sinceridade, e Mu Cheng, mesmo sendo o típico chefe galã, conseguiu não ser insuportável — o que já é uma vitória no gênero. Eles juntos? Uma vibe gostosa, tipo playlist de domingo.
Mas aí veio a segunda metade... e o roteiro decidiu entrar em crise existencial.
Cenas de ciúmes depois do casal já estar junto? Personagens que entram e saem da história como quem troca de aba no navegador? Vilões que não sabiam se eram vilões ou só gente perdida? Parecia que o drama tava jogando tudo no liquidificador e esperando que virasse smoothie. Não virou.
E aquele final? Um salto temporal aleatório, um curso que transformou a protagonista em CEO emocionalmente resolvida em um ano e um reencontro que mais pareceu pegadinha. Nada contra finais esquisitos, mas pelo menos faz sentido, né?
Enfim, “The Quirky and the Charming” tinha tudo para ser aquele comfort drama que a gente reassiste enquanto dobra roupa ou ignora boletos. Mas acabou virando um daqueles que a gente assiste até o fim só porque já investiu tempo demais para largar. Ainda assim, se você estiver com zero dramas na fila e vontade de ver algo leve (com altos e baixos), pode ser que funcione pra você.
Se eu assistiria de novo? Não.
Se eu indicaria? Com ressalvas.
Se eu daria um abraço na Yi Ran por defender seu homem sem medo de ser cringe? Com certeza.

Divertida, entretenida, para disfrutarla
No conocía a la protagonista Lu Yang Yang, es genial y me he convertido en su fan, excelente actriz .Solo puedo decir que me gusto, la recomiendo y se disfruta,
20 capítulos es la duración optima.
Lu Yang Yang y Huang Xiao Wan quizás algo mas de interacción hubiese estado muy bien, por que ambos personajes son muy divertidos
