Prolonging Life Starts with Cuddling (2025)

Inner thought drama that lacked spark & wow factor

I got to know about this drama from subreddit CShortDramas. I enjoyed some of Wei Lin dramas and that Wang Bing Xiang drama with Liu Yi Fan / Tian Tian Yi. I watched this drama within 2 days of its release. It was alright but I expected more.

What I liked:
1. Tone - There was good mix of comedy and drama, making it lighthearted.
2. Acting - Wei Lin excels in comedy. She made her character likeable even though FL seemed silly at times. Wang Bing Xiang was alright as a domineering CEO.
3. Styling - Loved ML's outfits. I also liked the pastel outfits worn by the female colleagues in one gossip session.
4. Inner thought arc - It was entertaining to see ML's reactions to FL's inner thoughts.
5. Hug - I liked that hugging scene.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - Wow, her husband was gullible to be fooled by his secretary. Disliked both of them, ML's stepmother & FL's family.
2. Cheating - I am not a fan of cheating stories. So I didn't like that they initiated a relationship before FL was divorced.
3. Chemistry - I couldn't sense any chemistry between Wei Lin and Wang Bing Xiang. Their kissing scenes lacked intensity.
4. Lifespan - The lifespan countdown was an interesting concept that drew me to this drama. However this plot device was underdeveloped, which was a shame.

Loved it!

Despite what the other review says, for me, there was DEFINITELY chemistry and the wrist countdown was developed just fine. Do I wish this was longer? Hell yes.

The ML and FL are hysterical in this. I love how the FL is not afraid to show she is very VERY attracted to the ML (a patting season for his pecs, yes, thank you for that FL lol). I love it when the FL is like this since she knows what she likes and owns it. The ML is one of my favorite types: cold and dangerous, doesn't put up with excuses, and tells it like it is and when you add FL to the mix, his interest is piqued and he's very amused by seeing her excited thoughts. Also I love how the FL was not afraid to stand up for herself and give some slaps are two to the idiot and the one he cheated her with.

I have no issue with the FL "cheating" on fiance with his uncle aka the ML because she wants a divorce and wants nothing to do with him. I don't view that as cheating since she said so herself that she had no feelings towards him. In fact, it's just a business alliance.

The two really have great chemistry, making me sometimes feel second hand embarrassment [in a good way] because I felt like I was there in the scene. Some lines were also GOLDEN lol Really made me kick my feet and go "OMG". Many scenes I replayed hehe.

Some parts of the one i watched on YT has really cut-like transitions that threw me for a loop. The music is usually muffled due to YT but some of it I just cannot stand it but I kept that fair.

Give it a shot. It's pretty short. The worst you can do is spend 1 hour and 52 mins watching it.
