CDramas I've Watched

What stands out most about this drama, is its comedy. It has some truly hilarious moments and is probably one of the dramas that has made me laugh the most. I also quite liked the secondary characters; in fact, I felt that the second couple had a more mature and interesting relationship than the main couple.

That said, the story drags on longer than necessary. I think it could easily have been told in about 24 episodes, because the 36 episodes end up feeling excessive at times. I also didn't feel much chemistry between the leads, and personally, I don't think it was either of their best performances.

Even so, it's a charming and easy-to-watch drama with a light and rather cute tone. 7.71/10

You can tell it's low quality, though the lead actors' performances manage to save it. 6.98/10

Great actors, poor-quality cases 7.92/10

Such wasted potential. The Mary Sue protagonist and poorly written female characters really hold the story back, especially since they mostly just exist to revolve around the ML. 7.36/10

I kind of liked the first part, but this one was impossible to watch at normal speed. I watched it at double speed and still skipped parts. The only redeeming feature was the chemistry between the actors and their great performances. So many episodes were definitely unnecessary; they ended up killing the series. 7.77/10

He pretends to be insane, and the FL, who’s a psychologist, is hired to make it look more convincing — without knowing the truth. As they spend time together, they slowly fall in love, but it’s all built on a lie. When she finally discovers the truth, she’s furious, and he tries to win her back…

The only reason I’m not rating it lower is because I don’t think the actors’ performances deserve that — they did a good job with what they were given. 7.46/10

I enjoyed the second part, especially how he begged for her forgiveness. However, I didn’t like the ML’s behaviour in the first part,  and SFL was really annoying. 7.49/10

My experience with this drama was quite uneven. The first few episodes are uncomfortable to watch, though it improves during the university years, which is the most enjoyable part, despite becoming repetitive and dragging on for too long.

Relationships are one of its weak points: the secondary couples don't engage the viewer, and the main couple works better as a friendship than a romance, with an unnatural transition. Of the cast, only Zhao Jin Mai stands out, though not in her best performance.

Overall, it has some more interesting moments, but it fails to leave a lasting impression and falls short of other student dramas. 8.02/10

Great casting choice, a synopsis that seemed to have everything I like, and yet another story ruined by the same old director... I only finished it because of the chemistry between the secondary couple. 8.27/10

Funny and features actors I like, but a little dull. 8.02/10

Really weak, definitely not worth it. I’m giving it 5 stars for the actors’ performances, but apart from that, it’s not worth wasting your time watching this – even the villains are weak. 7.53/10

The directing and the performances are definitely the strongest parts of this drama, and they manage to keep things engaging at times. However, I found the writing to be an absolute mess. Out of the 33 episodes, I genuinely enjoyed only about 10. It's a shame because it had so much potential. 7.42/10

I enjoyed the acting, especially from the FL and the SML. The drama itself was rather dull, with quite a few boring parts, and honestly, the FL had much better chemistry with the SML. 7.29/10

After watching this second season, I can say that my main problem with the story is that I just don’t like the world it’s set in. This season, I actually liked the male lead, and I still loved Feng Baobao, but I still didn’t enjoy the drama overall. If there’s a third season, I’ll probably watch it, but only because I genuinely love Wang Yinglu’s character. 7.88/10

The biggest disappointment of the year. I only managed to finish it because of Chen Du Ling. The best thing about it was definitely the cast. 7.4/10

Overall, really boring, badly acted (Sabrina Zhuang is the only one who stands out), and the story is pretty bland. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 1 is because of some funny moments and Sabrina’s performance 7.43/10

I only gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because of the leads' acting, and they're actually two of my favorite actors. Otherwise I would’ve given it just 1 star. Such a huge disappointment. 5.88/10
