Give Up! Madam, Vests Are Everywhere (2024)

Action-packed but romance & espionage arcs were underdeveloped

I liked Yu Peishan's acting when he acted alongside Jia Yixuan. I found this drama through his MDL profile so I watched it last night. This drama was my second drama of both Yu Peishan and Zhao Zaoer. I liked this drama but found certain arcs could be fleshed out more.

What I liked:
1. Action - I rarely watch action vertical dramas so appreciated the action scenes. The first scene was exhilarating. I love that Zhao Zaoer got to kick butt.
2. FL characterisation - She's tough, smart and multi-talented. I also liked that she was kind to and protective of Lu Jingyuan. I didn't like Zhao Zaoer's acting in Zero Ambiguity but I enjoyed her acting in this drama.
3. ML characterisation - I liked that he's always on his toes about FL's whereabouts. I liked Yu Peishan's hair in this drama because he looked dashing and somewhat resembled Chen Gang.
4. Supporting characters - I loved Lu Jingyuan OMG he was so precious. I smiled whenever he appeared on screen. FL's right hand man, ML's assistant and brother/cousin were nice addition to the cast.
5. Ending - It was romantic and sweet. So satisfying!

What I disliked:
1. Romance - Both ML & FL looked good together and the kisses were nice. However their romance was underdeveloped, which disappointed me given the long running time (almost 2.5 hours).
2. Villain - OMG she was the worst villain in all of vertical dramas that I have watched. How could she do that!!! I was also disappointed that she got so much screentime. Same old jealous half-sister arc. I also thought her scheme to get FL to be kicked out from university was silly. How could university's top management take such action based on a hearsay.
3. Espionage arc - I wish this arc was fleshed out. I wanted to know about the mission at the start and why did FL want to kill ML.
