Extremly dissapointing (Uncut)
It started not that bad, the first episode, while not really my cup of tea, was okay. But the more episodes came out, the more downhill this series went. From some things that are just annoying, like a voiceover and some inconsistencies, to actual disgusting moments like constant abuse, manhandling, and kidnapping.

Things I liked:
1. Side couple. So far I do like them a bit more than the main couple.
2. Acting. It is pretty good, but the voiceover kills a lot of it for me.
Things I disliked:
1. I'm not the biggest fan of those tropes with the toxic CEO and sunshine main leads.
2. Voiceover. I just can't get over it, especially with Shogun.
3. Cringy sound effects.
4. Kidnapping, manhandling, and so much more.
5. Inconsistencies that could've been fixed so easy. As far as I know and understand, Pao Bei is fully Chinese, but for some reason when he texts his friend, he uses English, and his name in the app is written in Thai. I feel like it is really not that hard to fix such small things, and because they didn't, it just makes the series look sloppy.
6. Pao Bei, from being at least more or less tolerable and sort of smart in the first episode, turning into the most brainless damsel in distress in the next episodes. He really goes from 0 to 100 just like that, and I can't even feel bad for him anymore.
7. They keep repeating scenes, showing the same stuff again and again. Each episode the first half of the episode is always a repeat of the previous episode, yes, in more detail, but there is always a better way to do it. For example, just show full scenes in each episode to start with.
