Old fashioned snooze fest
What worked for me ✨️
✨️The premise of the story, the deal where whoever lost would leave their job, added a nice twist to the setup.
✨️Ji Yuheng as a character kept me invested for awhile
✨️The second couple, Rao Jing and Zhao Fanggang, had great chemistry and fun banter.
✨️Zhao Fanggang’s development: he went from being the character I disliked most in the beginning to my absolute favorite by the end.
What didn’t work for me ❌️
❌️ The workplace conflict was deflated and poorly executed. There was no real shock or suspense, just a flat reveal.
❌️ The main leads were boring together and lacked chemistry. Honestly, I wish the second couple had been the leads.
❌️ The third couple added nothing, unnecessary screen time.
❌️ The OST was forgettable
❌️ Old-fashioned stereotypes: marriage being “necessary” and 27 already being considered “too old.”
❌️ Ji Yuheng's obsession with his high school crush felt creepy and unrealistic. Never dating anyone else, never moving on, that’s a trope I truly dislike. (Also they managed to say that Tang Yu Hui's love was obsession but not Yu Heng's?)
❌️ Xiao Ning had no real character traits beyond being annoying, judgmental, and inconsiderate. Zero accountability made her unlikable.
❌️ Her childish, snobbish friend was just as bad, acting superior while actually being the worst.
