It Felt Like I Was Watching A Teenage Fantasy.
**This is just my opinion. I truly appreciate all of the hard work that went into the making of this drama. Thank you.**
I only wanted to watch this drama because I've been a fan of Tan Jian Ci's work. He and the rest of the cast in this drama did a very good job. I have no problem at all with the acting. I don't like the characters or the story to the point that I can't force myself to watch it anymore. The description said that the female lead had low self esteem. It didn't say that she failed to make any attempt at all to do what is considered normal for job interviews or to fit in. She just went out the same way she might look if she were to go for a walk in the park or run errands. You can't show up in jeans and sneakers for a marketing interview at a cosmetic or fashion company, bare faced, with your hair in a pony tail and expect them to choose you over candidates who dressed properly. It was infuriating to watch. Su Cheng Cheng not only did these things but refused the advise and help that was offered to her by her sister and her best friend when they tried to get her to wear make up or dress better. She stubbornly refused, then blamed getting rejected on her not being pretty. She is pretty. She just projects this air of not caring about her appearance. Our male lead, Tang Qi, played by Tan Jian Ci, went to school with Su Cheng Cheng, and her best friend when they were younger and has bad memories of her. When he sees her again at their school reunion, he is unkind to her and hurts her feelings. He wasn't just unkind. He was a massive jerk. I don't want to give too much away so I'll leave it at that.
I knew that there was a magic bracelet but I didn't know how far fetched it was going to get. It is like some kind of little girl's Barbie dream fantasy. She was choosing outfits and voices and all I could think was "what am I doing watching this?" . So, there you go. If you want to watch someone live out there fantasies playing with a magic bracelet that lets them change everything about their appearance, voice, etc. including dressing up at the touch of a button, this is for you. If, on the other hand, it's not, you've saved yourself some time.
