Sunglasses at Night and Dry Kisses
What is with the bodyguards wearing sunglasses at night?
That was so funny and random, hahahaha! And why on earth put him in a body bag? That’s just crazy! I was enjoying it at first because it's quite funny and cute, but I was hoping the whole episode wouldn't stay like that.
The first 5 to 10 minutes were amusing, but the rest? I just felt confused and annoyed, thinking, "What is actually happening?!"
When it comes to the romance, I actually preferred the chemistry of the second couple over the main couple. It feels like there isn't much spark between the main leads—though there’s definitely potential if the execution had been tighter.
Maybe it's because I've watched everything from simple sweet kisses to hardcore BL kisses, but their kissing scenes sometimes made me frown. They looked kind of... dry? Like there were no real feelings behind them, which probably means the actors weren't fully comfortable with those parts.
The plot decisions also threw me for a loop. In the beginning, regarding the funeral company, I was really hoping they would show us at least a portion of what he actually inherits rather than just a quick glimpse. Then out of nowhere comes the kidnapping of the heir, Wang Zhan, and I was just sitting there going, "Huh? All of a sudden?!"
The 3-month training arc was another funny moment. They didn't really show us much substance aside from physical training, which doesn't seem all that relevant for someone trying to learn how to be the next big boss. Honestly, the only training that felt somewhat useful was the part with the blondie.
Looking at the series as a whole, the narrative pacing tends to jump randomly, character motivations can feel scattered, and some of the comedic setups clash weirdly with the dramatic beats, leaving me with unanswered questions about how certain transitions happened so abruptly.
On top of that, there are certain subplots are introduced just to be dropped, and the transition from a serious corporate/underworld succession battle to lighthearted romantic comedy can feel jarring. It leaves you feeling like the script needed another pass to smooth out the rough edges.
Despite all the loop holes and weird creative choices, it has a lot of wasted potential. Even with those flaws, I'd still recommend it if you're looking for a light, unserious series to pass the time and want a good laugh!
