Professor Qi Borrowed a Marriage (2024)

A primeira adaptação que assisti deste web novel foi You Coexist with Tenderness (2024), e confesso que gostei muito, o drama foi focado no casal e não em toda a conspiração e etc, então resolvi assistir este, porque gosto bastante do Wang Yi Ran. Gostei bastante da sintonia e firmeza de seu personagem juntamente com a personagem da Zhu Mo Yan, porém não há beijos, há jogos de câmera toscos e cenas cortadas rapidamente.
E na última parte do drama, quando acontece o acidente, tudo se torna um porre com a família dele, enquanto na outra versão ambas as famílias eram decentes.
A mãe do ML conseguiu me irritar profundamente.
Mas é ok. Mas comecei ontem e terminei hoje, porque não tinha nem interesse em concluir com o plot que estava

Sweet, mature couple.

A vertically filmed micro drama (I rate these on their own sliding scale).
The romance between the leads is very sweet and there's plenty of these moments. It's healthy and balanced. The two support each other emotionally, trust, and look out for each other. Both characters are fairly gentle people, but they have backbones and don't let other people walk all over them.

General Spoilers below.

A fairly realistic approach to domestic abuse and they showed some of the fear the victim can feel. I really liked the line by the FL: "...because with domestic violence, there's only zero times or countless times. And this is the bottom line." What didn't make sense was how the SML was able to freely harass the FL, purposefully cause a car accident, then stalk the FL again with no repercussions or legal restraints. He finally backs off at the end having learned his lesson, but it was really frusterating and disappointing that he was essentially let off the hook.

Some skinship and multiple hugs, though the hugs are upper-body (there's a space kept between lower bodies), and there are no direct kisses. There are a couple flirty moments though, which were enjoyable. The characters were definitely believably in love with each other with their eyes, but their bodies indicated that the actors weren't 100% comfortably relaxed with each other.

I did enjoy the FL's friends, the ML's brother and his wife, and the FL's parents. I also appreciated how multiple characters stood up the the ML's mother.

Overall this is a decent one-time watch, especially if you already like one of the actors, or like sweet and quick romances. I found the plot got more contrived in the second half, but the extended happy ending was a nice way to finish it off.
