News Tolerable.... to a point.
Writing a review for mini drama of style is like- I know it's bad. You know it's bad BUT is it entertaining? And the answer is.... sorta? For a bit and if you know why you are here. This mini has 3 redeeming qualities to not become trash:
1) the main actors are likable
2) Su Yan's wardrobe - I love her painsuits and I need them
3) the younger man/older woman dynamic (yes, he is 19 and she is 30)
And that is why you are probably here. That's the hook. And it's surpringly catchy and quite well done. I can imagine this is how this kind of relationship would look like. He really is that puppy like energy of a 19yo boy in his first relationship. She is mature, lawyer and post break up, so she is having none of it and it's believable.
What's not believable is the plot. I don't even know what to say. I've seen Turkish telenovelas being more realistic, but okay. Last 5 episodes, pissed me off though. Originally I gave it 6.5, then 6.0, now it lands on 5.5. I wish I could bleach those last episodes from my memory. That was offensively bad.
