According to Netflix life: Without a doubt this series starring Song Kang and Han So-hee as art school students refusing to define their relationship as a romance will steal hearts.
There’s nothing like a love story between two characters who won’t give in to love and yet, nevertheless, are falling more and more for each other as time goes on. It’s a recipe for a smitten audience waiting for them both to let go, let love, and take the plunge.
The official synopsis via Netflix: The intoxicating charm of a flirtatious art school classmate pulls a reluctant love cynic into a friends-with-benefits relationship. To dig a little deeper, Park Jae-eon (Song Kang) is the flirtatious one. He’s happy seeing someone with no expectations or feelings blossoming. Love isn’t in the equation for him. It’s Yoo Na-bi (Han So-hee) whose heart was broken before. Refusing to be bitten by the love bug twice, she wants to date, but she, too, has no interest in romance.
Of course, the two form a connection that challenges the very notion of their opinions on love. The dance they do around one another looks and feels exactly like a budding romance. However, if they don’t call it that, then it can be whatever they want it to be. Or so they think.
He is only capable of being vulnerable in bed. He likely cannot out of bed. That can be completely terrifying for some people. So he’s asking her to accept him as he is. He does care for her. But she needs to be loved in a way he cannot offer. This is all too sad really. There’s a line in one of the OST songs about him being used to getting used. There may be something of a clue in that.
I was delighted to see Yu Kai Ning and Huang Qian Shuo cast together once again! Although they did not have much interaction with each other I was happy with both their performances. Except having to wait for HQS to smile until episode 12 was sheer torture! YKS made the most of his comedic chops as Doc My Sa. A memorable character, for certain. And HQS stretched himself in a more serious role as the Head Guard. And he got the girl! I hope to see more of my favourite duo in the future. Enjoyed the tight storyline peppered with hilarity. Check these two out in The Romance of Hua Rong to see them shine even more brightly!
I lucked onto this by chance when I found it showing on the Canadian channel Omni. Much nicer on a big tv screen! Did not need to turn lights on in the den as Zhang ZeHan’s smile lit the place up. So far, this drama borders on camp its hilarity that frequent. The ML, well let’s just say the narcissism tag was written with him in mind. This is going to be a fun ride! One thing that stands out - everyone is attractive in this drama. And they have to be...
Last episode pointed to something essential that Miss Cho talked about. That regardless of how low the compatibility score was for her and her man the computer could not account for things like how he made her smile. Fei was listening because she went directly to her computer to determine the compatibility score between her and her pal. 29% popped up. She was disappointed. But I think Miss Cho’s words were still swirling in her head about things you cannot measure.
I'm still not understanding why and how Yan Fei is still hung up over her ex-husband, like he is straight 🗑️…
There are no spoilers in your text only speculation, so no need for the spoiler box. Yan Fei is not hung up on her ex. She told him she was not interested in him in the bar scene, Her mom always really liked her husband and does not know the details of the split. They did truly love each other, but hubby was not prepared for who his wife became a few years into the mariage. Which might have been partially due to an anxiety disorder. I think Yan Fei is more in love with the idea of being married than actually married. Now she will have some serious thinking to do.
I came here for the doctor and the guard and not the leads so I am really satisfied thus far. Long Teeth, the Warlock, and the beyond cute third couple all sweet bonuses. As for the first leads, try as I might I cannot see or feel any chemistry between the two because the lady doth protest too much. Perhaps that may change...
Hey there! If you’re here to watch the series because of bl part, these are my advices; - just watch episode…
The main storyline follows the relationship of the leads who have known each other forever, or longer. Both have ex-partners: one left on a plane the other arrived on one. So two instant triangles! There are a few second lead couples: One matched up by the agency, one of their’s elderly parents. The ML’s bro and wife. They’re everywhere. Now Company assistant Ou Wen (shame we just can’t call him Owen...) has a confusing relationship with hair wizard Mark who is equally confused. These second leads are circling each other, but unlikely to be creating a bridal gift registry anytime soon! Mark has to make a decision which side of the fence he wants to sit on. Jealously (ok and a cocktail or two) are likely to fast-forward that process. This is not a BL drama per se but an attempt to be inclusive. Can I get an Amen?! It does not need to be either or, just a realistic reflection of all of us critters out there. Now to be fair, everyone is not in this just for them. Personally I’m rooting for Miss Cho and I want to see whose ‘drawers’ Joanna rifles through next! ? And how low will the Hotel Hunk go to win the competition? What’s love got to do with it? I am really curious about the back story involving the other assistant’s being rejected by her crush. Speaking of crush, right? And most of all, I want to see the younger version of the ML (what a cutie, eh?) get the girl to melt but not his ice cream cone!
Ok everybody?? breathe! Depending on which streaming service you checked, including the many variations of Dramacool (some less safe than others, so pay attention that you have the right one.) although they indicated ep. 11 was available, you either accessed repeats of ep 1 or 10. Everybody with me so far? Episode 11 is not in the can yet and won’t air until June 13th. With any luck, the subs for 10 might surface prior to that. These interruptions are due to Covid 19 precautions. Everyone in the cast etc. must remain safe and healthy.
