Ye Chong (2023)

Expected sizzle but got fizzle

I have a massive crush on Bai Yan as she is a great actress that emotes and choose roles very well. This drama is my second He Cong Rui drama - my first was Huang Jin Tai, which I enjoyed immensely. I was curious to watch this combo.

What I liked:
1. Styling - I like He Cong Rui's styling for this drama. The haircut really made him looked like a mischievous troublemaker especially when he donned necklaces. FL's outfits were pretty with red dress being my favourite.
2. ML's career - This is one of the few vertical dramas which ML is not a CEO. Ling Si Huai is a surgeon. He faced a work conflict in the second act and I really enjoyed those scenes. I felt his pain.

What I disliked:
1. Romance - I had hoped for sizzling chemistry between Bai Yan and He Cong Rui but was left disappointed. I don't buy the romance between FL and ML because they felt more like friends. Though I appreciated the genuine concern they had for each other.
2. Third act - Too much screentime for FL's bff Xu Man & Dr Qi Jia which also made me lose interest in the drama.
3. Antagonist - Wow, a delusional SFL that met a nasty end. The actress looked familiar but I can't recall her name.

Favourite scene
When ML faced a conflict at work and had to choose either unscheduled surgery or his family
