Ti Shen Mi Shu: Li Zong Bie Liao Le, Wo Zhi Shi Ji Qi Ren (2024)

I would blamed SFL screentime for lack of romance tension between the leads

I watched this because of Wang Nan and Sun Qian Xun. It was actually nice but didn't beat their previous collaboration.

Sun Qianxun is basically a guarantee of comedy, and her collaboration with Wang Nan is excellent. The early episodes are very funny, both absurd and hilarious. However, the plot starts to falter after SFL gains intelligence. There are too many plot holes: one night, cute baby, allergies, impersonation—it's all there. And there's impersonation twice.
The grandmother even tries to dismantle FL, who then admits she's human. ML feels deeply deceived and wants to marry the 3FL but he can't let go of the FL.

Most importantly, SFL has too much screen time! She's practically invincible. This results in insufficient romantic development between ML and FL, and the process of their initial romance is unclear. Expectations were a bit high, but overall, it's not as good as the first season.

Decent watch though

I didn't enjoy this slapstick comedy but acting was good enough

I was on a marathon of Sun Qian Xun's dramas and this time I selected this drama. I enjoy quirky robot / AI themed dramas so I had expectations for this drama. Sadly I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped.

What I liked:
1. Acting - Both Sun Qian Xun and Wang Nan excelled in comedic acting. Their chemistry was fantastic and they bounced each other's energy. The cast gave good performances too.
2. Main characters - Likeable. At least the ML wasn't stupid to blindly follow antagonist's scheming.
3. Supporting characters - Assistant Wang & the scientist were my favourites.
4. Styling - I really liked the burgundy sports wear and ash blonde wig that the robot wore in the opening scene.

What I disliked:
1. Plot - There was too much time spent on antagonist's scheming and less time spent on ML - FL relationship (past & present). I increased speed to 2.0x because those scenes were nothing new for me. The drama was too long & draggy.
2. Antagonist - Typical jealous half-sister who fought FL for ML's affections. FL's father & stepmother were horrible people.
3. The daughter - This arc was severely underdeveloped I felt there was no need for it. The child actress who played the role probably only had a total of 2 minute screentime.
4. Humour - Slapstick isn't my thing so yeah I didn't enjoy the comedy.
