Na Ge Nan Ren You Cha You Jiao (2025)

Fast-paced & lighthearted romcom about business rivalry & flirty ML

This drama piqued my interest the day it was released. I liked Nie Bo Xuan's secret child drama with Wei Fan Shu. The English translation of the the title implies a coquettish ML. I watched it today and I liked it!

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - I adored her for being physically strong. She fought her rival's goons.
2. ML characterisation - I liked the flirty nature of ML. He called her jiejie and I loved it because jiejie romance is my favourite. I also liked that he had serious side - he was protective over FL.
3. Styling - I loved FL's outfits! Great styling for a girlboss.
4. Supporting characters - I really liked ML's right hand man - he's hilarious! I also liked FL's male friend, her mother & brother.
5. Antagonist - I liked the arc given to the antagonist - he was FL and ML's business rival. It's great that there was no green tea FL in this drama.
6. Duration - This drama is just slightly over 90 minutes. Well-paced and lighthearted drama.
7. Tactic - FL used a smart tactic to lure ML out of hiding. I liked it!

What I disliked:
1. Hidden identity - I wish ML had confessed his actual identity when FL confronted him.

Don't bother

First time I gave a vertical show a chance and it was a complete let down. I only finished it because it's 1,5h long. The story is very confusing in the beginning - I still don't really get why ML had to disguise himself as college student. The love story is meh. It's there but why she was even interested in him, I will never know. The plot in general was nothing interesting or sophisticated but what do you expect from these 2 min episodes vertical shows.
The overall production quality was low budget but my highlight was FL's acting and her wardrobe. Honestly the only good parts about the whole show. I could definitely see her in more serious acting gigs. ML's wardrobe on the other hand - horrendous.
Not much more to say, I'll probably forget this show in about 2 hours anyway.
