And the award for the greenest flag 2ML goes to Minato. What an absolute sweetheart. I loved this. It was really gently paced, the acting was fab, the characters are wonderful and flawed and real.
It's definitely got all the cliches, but I really didn't mind. The grandmother was my favourite, love her little birthday scene near the end, she was so cute.
FL acted life the mic was always at the far end of the room and she needed to shout all her lines. She really bugged me but I think I eventually became immune to her. For someone with a billion jobs how did she never figure out how to behave in a workplace. Eating customers food in the bar, refusing to follow rules, total lack of respect to her employers, teachers. Her completely wasting a college spot really bugged me too. Like she went to college to follow her crush, justifying it by saving she paid her own fees. But someone else could've taken that spot. She ditched, slept through classes, failed constantly, but somehow managed to crawl through it. What a waste of an education. ML was a nightmare. Sure he did have PTSD but that's not a waiver to just accost FL whenever he wanted and he tortured her for half the show. I quite liked Fei Fei for the most part. But it annoyed me how she flip flopped from strong and authoritative, to gullible and meek depending on the scene. Same goes for FL tbh. These are up there with the worst parents I've seen in a drama. They abused him for years to the point he emigrated to get away, and even his father's death didn't stop it. The dad physically and emotionally abused him for years, and eve when he died the dad wrote him a letter to just gaslight the shit out of him and emotionally blackmail him into doing what he wanted. And to tell him not to let the mother see the letter was a final slap in the face. What a dick. The mother was worse. Harping on about how the son could never relate and never compare because he wasn't an artist and was all about money. Sorry but did she ever pick up a paintbrush? And knowing full well that her rage was misplaced she continued to abuse her son for another decade. Then one hug in the hospital and it's all good? NO. Where's a white truck when you need it? Ning Fei was adorable and I understood his motivations, though it bothered me that he never told the truth about the cat. He was a little kid then, and scared of losing the only people he had left, sure, but he had at least 10 years and a lot of resentment for that cat killer uncle, he really should've told the mother. She doted on him so much she'd have believed him. Qiu Jing was awesome. Loved her. She wasn't the typical robotic weird roommate cliche that all the college centered cdramas seem to have. She was actually clever and funny, bold, confident and a good friend.
I'm really confused about their relationship status throughout. Was it edited weird or something? They seemed to be actually dating and then the dad found out about the lies and they decided to really be together...but I was sure they already were. Early on they kissed eachother like they were dating, and then the next episode were awkward and pretending again. Then they were married but he proposed at the end, and he was calling her his wife, then he called her his gf after that... They broke up before he left, but then when she announced it in the shop everyone was shocked like they were still together. I'm assuming there were too many script changes and the editors didn't care enough to fix the errors. The dad and uncle are awful. Like they were willing to throw her to any random from the park, but not the guy they've known since he was 5 who loves her, and who she loves? Also they're both in their 20s. I'm baffled at how big of a deal everyone made of the age gap like she was a cradle snatcher. Okay, maturity wise early 20s and late 20s there is a gap, and I say this as someone in their 30s, I wouldn't dream of being with someone 6 years younger. But it really isn't that much. That doctor calling her his mother needs his brain examined because that is ridiculous, and insulting to everyone in the room. 😂 She's such a wizard of psychology, how did she not spot her employee was an absolute nutbag? Overall it was fine. The acting was decent, and the chemistry was pretty great!
Who did she marry though? I think it was the brother but I can't be sure. I'm confused. Also I know legally and genetically it's not incest, but they grew up as siblings for a long time so it feels pretty incest-y to me.
"Gentlemen" is the biggest mislead of the whole show. All four men are problematic in different ways. Xiao Fei is a greasy salesman through and through, and I would never leave a drink uncovered around him. The actor did really well to make me want to cover my drink from just watching him on screen. The domineering wife/ex was a nightmare as well. She financially and mentally abused him for their entire marriage under the guise of needing things done her way. He's also way to eager to sign contracts without reading the fine print. And he begs for her back, despite nothing having changed between them. Financially for him yes, but not them as a couple. Guo Chong is a timid little self pitying worm of a man, and the thing with Amy gives me the heebie jeebies. I know it was all perfectly legal and there wasn't any coercion, and she seemed mature enough, but it just felt icky, especially with a power imbalance involved with her having been his student. Did he ever clarify with her that he didn't actually send her a love letter either? Jie Sen just gave me stalker vibes for prolly half the show. Early on when the girls were in the other house and the creeper was outside I genuinely thought it would turn out to be him. He was just declaring himself her boyfriend from the second he decided to pursue curly. At least she could stand her ground, and he seemed to have a bit of a degradation kink so it worked out nicely with them ending up being the most stable couple in the show. And at least he was aware of his total insignificance. And then there's Tong Yu, the self insert of Zhang Han and his midlife crisis brought to life on screen. I mean the whole thing of them pretending to be real men in the woods and meeting these infinitely out of their league younger women just screams midlife crisis. Honestly the chemistry with this couple was there, they were both secretive, squirmy immature people who brought out the best and worst in eachother. He's a talented engineer, but even with the random flashes of problem solving and the ability to inspire his coworkers I just couldn't believe the genius persona. Like they laid it on too thick or something. And I didn't care at all if he failed or not. I started skipping a lot near the end so I probably missed some things but I think I got the gist. The AI workplace was super skeevy with the mustached boss man being the biggest creep in a show packed with them. I saw complaints about the brastrap thing, but honestly that paled in comparison to all the other inappropriate workplace behavior from Tong Yu and Xu Duo. They both crossed the line into harassment and blackmail several times. The employee thief was right when he was talking about the two of them being too much at work, and about him and the secretary keeping it on the DL from fear of reprisal. The little boy was the big redeemer of this mess. He was amazing, and adorable and has a good career ahead of him. I was a bit thrown off when they dropped the news about the kid not being his and the fact he wasn't even dating her by the time she died. Like they'd been broken up for several years when she died... I get that first love is a meaningful thing, but is it really to the point of hallucinating your ex for years, including hallucinating her telling you to move on? She broke up with him, emigrated, married and had a kid and he's still that caught up? Maybe just have a smidge of self respect my dude. But also learn how to have boundaries because the whole thing with Dr. Bai was incredibly inappropriate. Is it not unethical for your Dr to be flirting with you, getting your number, calling you in the middle of the night... And for him to be lying to his child and the woman he likes to go over to that ladies house. That's a big NOPE.
All in all I've seen worse, but I've seen way better. This felt exactly like someone working through their midlife crisis on screen, and simultaneously like it was written by a 14 year old. I went to check Zhang Han's profile, and he's 39 so the same age range as he's written himself. I can't decided if it's more or less embarrassing then. Like all the slomo clips of the four of them peacocking into the scene were mortifying to watch. It felt like they were all second leads wishing they were the main character, and I can't tell if that was deliberate. I'll suspend my disbelief that the four women will just all wander off on holiday together when the only thing they have in common is how annoyed they are at their partners or exes. But those absolute knobs can't let them have a few days of peace?! No , they follow them all the way to Sanya just to spoil their trip because they want to do the cringy confession and win them back. The total lack of respect is staggering.
If you're looking for face pace, complicated relationships, conflicts, breakups, meddling parents, secrets, exes or love rivals... This is NOT the show for you. If you're looking for a slow meandering love story with very little PDA or skin-ship until at least halfway through, lots of really sweet innocent moments, and watching a relationship blossom naturally over time... Then watch this. It's slow paced to the point it feels like nothing happened, which might be boring for some who prefer a bit of conflict to make the pay off seem earned. But I really liked this. It was sweet enough to make my teeth hurt start to finish. All the actors were brilliant, the music was stunning, and the sets and scenery were gorgeous.
Annoying that they felt the need to dial down her physical strength and skills as the drama progressed just to drag the story along. Like she held her own against a gang at the start of the show, but can't fend off the middle aged dad by the end... And the same for him. He was basically just manifesting enemies into comas at the start, and again he was defenseless against his dad. Like I understand the dad was also enhanced the way ML was, and abnormally strong, but they couldn't be that outmatched surely. I was worried at the end there they'd try to make FL get with MLs original soul, thankfully they didn't and she just grieved and got on with her life. If they got together I'd have been creeped out, that's like marrying a twin and when your spouse dies you just marry the other twin because they have the same face. Ick. It was much nicer to see the little glimpse of their next life when they meet again as two normal humans alive in their own bodies.
It did drag for a bit, but it was really lovely. The chemistry was unreal with the lead couple and with the second pair too. FL did seem a tad deranged in the first few episodes, but once they got past that it was basically just about him realising really quickly that he fumbled with her and her fighting him for about 10 episodes because she still liked him but was afraid to be hurt even more. Once they settled into a relationship the pacing was really good.
The acting was surprisingly decent for a short drama like this, the sets and costumes were really pretty, and the plot was generic but fine. It has the beigest ending though, absolute blandness in drama form. The last episode was a waste.
The acting is great, but the characters are different levels of shitty people, selfish and then obnoxiously self sacrificing. Like the same person who just murdered someone in cold blood is suddenly taking a knife for someone else with no real character growth to explain it. And people who seem to be maturing or becoming better just flip and do something horrendous just to remind us they're actually garbage. It just meant I wanted everyone to die. The seventh brother is the only one in the whole series I wanted to be happy. The editing was so choppy and there were time jumps all over the place. At least they announced it each time, because over the span on like 20 years the only person who aged was the old dude so there was no way of knowing. Everyone else looked the same. I guess all the men grew mustaches after one time jump at least, like ah yes four years and one mustache craze later here we are again.
This was slow paced to the point of being boring at times, but overall decent. I was surprised a drama of only 6 episodes with multiple couples could even get boring but it did. The acting was better than the story. Chris and Jeno at the prom were cute and bashful and perfectly teenage, I loved it. Paper and Tong Fah felt really disjointed and all over the place to me, like there seemed to be a few confessions (maybe one was a dream or something and I wasn't paying attention), and the tension between them felt believable at times, and then it was just gone in the next scene. I was questioning where they were using flashbacks or something because I kept thinking they were doing couple things and then they were real awkward with eachother, like make up your mind. And I'm not sure when the dad died...was that a flashback or did it happen in real time in the plot, because that baffled me too. M and Near could've been left out totally. Near was really confusing, for some reason when he appeared I kept thinking it wasn't him. Was his hair changed during filming? Did he just not get enough screen time to make an impression? Because even in his work uniform I was like "Who's this new guy? Wait is that him still?" It was weird. There was no big barriers or villains or misunderstandings really (I don't count M and Near because they were so inconsequential) which was nice, and no toxic girl characters. Arthur and his stooges were grim, but even though they sucked I dunno why I went all soft at the prom when his buddies were comforting Arthur as he ugly cried. They were the worst but that was cute.
I hated how she used the notebook to basically force people to date her against their will, but I sympathise with all her trauma and self loathing and understand that besides using them to feel affection, she was mostly punishing herself with every relationship because she didn't think she deserved genuine love. She knew what she was doing wasn't right but she couldn't fully appreciate how wrong because she hadn't had a genuine love to compare it to what she was taking from them. I like that it ended with her deciding to love herself (maybe she wrote her own name in the book), and with that the power of the book was lost. It was definitely not a romcom like the poster would have you believe, and the thing when the friend had the book and was melting down felt almost horror-y.
Nothing too complicated (unless you count the technical jargon), just a relatively simple story about emotionally stunted children of divorce finding eachother and falling in love (with the mandatory childhood friendship thrown in). The only real hiccup or secret is the one we know from their first scene together, so there are no big reveals. The leads chemistry is really great, they seem so natural and cute together. FL is actually brilliant. She feels like she strolled into a drama and is just being herself, rather than playing a role. There's nothing groundbreaking by any means, just a generic college romance drama with a robot added in. It was occasionally draggy, and generally slow paced, but I didn't mind.
The pacing was normal for the first few episodes and then you really started to see the result of 40 episodes being chopped up into 26 (there's 27 on Viki, but it says 26 here...). It got really really messy, with cuts and jumps all over the place. I think it was supposed to span like 14 years or so, but I'm really not sure because they cut so much and replaced it with just pure exposition written across the screen. Also was anyone else weirded out by the fact FL drugged and slept with someone who had basically the mind of a child? Because that seems really icky to me. They were cute together, but the very rushed ending was not worth all the trauma throughout. I also didn't get the grudge the uncle had against the He family. Like power struggle and underhanded politics, yes, obviously, it's a historical cdrama, but it he was saying it was a personal grudge for some wrong they committed against him and I don't know what that was. Was it just the marriage shenanigans, or was it something they cut from the show?
How was this so draggy while also incredibly rushed? Did they accidentally drag the plot too far and then panic to tie up the company issues with the evil exes? It felt like I was watching the leads and a few support character just read the big reveal straight from their scripts. It felt like an episode of Poirot, when he gathers all the characters in a room at the end and then waffles on at them about how he solved the crime, except there were like four Poirot's and only one suspect. 😅🙈 Also all four bffs added together barely made one functioning adult. Xiao Lei was all about her personal rules until she just woke up and decided to go against everything she believed for the absolute worst man. I get how she's such a shit judge of character given her neglectful upbringing and tendency to latch onto anyone kind to her. But it still creeped me out how she kept trying to force her supposed friend to be with an ex who cheated on her, who she also wanted to be with herself. Please just a smidge of self respect. And to forgive him and not press charges makes me so angry. Maybe she's been gaslit into oblivion, but the brother is absolute scum. He saw his sister be used by that knob and physically assaulted, and he's just choosing not to press charges himself because he suddenly found a conscience over his own abuse of her. Garbage personified. Cheng Yi was a walking red flag for too long at the start, I don't care if they explained it (also in monologue form), I just couldn't shake the ick, even when they were being adorable together. And he was really stupid and naive for a supposedly intelligent man who's been hurt by the exact same person before. Like of course she was the villain. Do you not have eyes? She was practically sat in the corner twirling her evil mustache. Doctor bff was the blandest of all four. I don't even remember her name. Or the dude she was paired with. The cancer was the most exciting thing that happened to her and even that was finished in about a scene and a half. Xia Yan was too forgiving of everyone who wronged her. I get letting things go for your own peace of mind, but when crimes are committed against you and others, you really should follow that up. At least she remained fairly capable throughout, but I don't get why she didn't tell her boyfriend about who the bad guy was. Even if he was like "no way, you're crazy" at least he'd be wary. But she just plowed on by herself. And then rage friend. Again I don't remember or care what her name is. I liked the scene with doctor boyfriend when feelings were confessed while she felt like shit. It was very cute. Everything else was meh for me. I didn't care when the wedding fell apart, didn't care about her mommy issues, and her complete lack of self control wasn't quirky or cool or whatever, it just made her hard to watch. Therapy for her and Xiao Lei. Also, I was so disinterested in their friendship. I went to check my suspicions and yes, they were all written by men. Ugh. It honestly felt like they were just roommates, because they didn't seem to even like eachother most of the time. Oh well. I'm glad that's over anyway.
Cute, bland, but cute. They tried to make us anxious with all the will they / wont they, but there was just no tension to it at all. Side note: FLs nail polish kept dragging my attention away from the already boring plot. The story spanned over a year if I followed it correctly, and her manicure was the same from start to finish. Every time it showed her nails my brain just went ~ they obviously filmed this all in about a week...yep it flows exactly like they filmed it all in a week. I mean why bother with changing her hair length to show the passage of time if they weren't going to change her nails...? 😅
I can't stop laughing at the post credit scene of them absolutely wearing the faces off eachother while Shang Zhou's mother has barely walked away and Shun Yu's mother is still on the phone. Time and place guys...😂
I loved this. It was really gently paced, the acting was fab, the characters are wonderful and flawed and real.
ML was a nightmare. Sure he did have PTSD but that's not a waiver to just accost FL whenever he wanted and he tortured her for half the show.
I quite liked Fei Fei for the most part. But it annoyed me how she flip flopped from strong and authoritative, to gullible and meek depending on the scene. Same goes for FL tbh.

Qiu Jing was awesome. Loved her. She wasn't the typical robotic weird roommate cliche that all the college centered cdramas seem to have. She was actually clever and funny, bold, confident and a good friend.

Also they're both in their 20s. I'm baffled at how big of a deal everyone made of the age gap like she was a cradle snatcher.

She's such a wizard of psychology, how did she not spot her employee was an absolute nutbag?
Overall it was fine. The acting was decent, and the chemistry was pretty great!
Xiao Fei is a greasy salesman through and through, and I would never leave a drink uncovered around him. The actor did really well to make me want to cover my drink from just watching him on screen. The domineering wife/ex was a nightmare as well. She financially and mentally abused him for their entire marriage under the guise of needing things done her way. He's also way to eager to sign contracts without reading the fine print. And he begs for her back, despite nothing having changed between them. Financially for him yes, but not them as a couple.
Guo Chong is a timid little self pitying worm of a man, and the thing with Amy gives me the heebie jeebies. I know it was all perfectly legal and there wasn't any coercion, and she seemed mature enough, but it just felt icky, especially with a power imbalance involved with her having been his student. Did he ever clarify with her that he didn't actually send her a love letter either?
Jie Sen just gave me stalker vibes for prolly half the show. Early on when the girls were in the other house and the creeper was outside I genuinely thought it would turn out to be him. He was just declaring himself her boyfriend from the second he decided to pursue curly. At least she could stand her ground, and he seemed to have a bit of a degradation kink so it worked out nicely with them ending up being the most stable couple in the show. And at least he was aware of his total insignificance.
And then there's Tong Yu, the self insert of Zhang Han and his midlife crisis brought to life on screen. I mean the whole thing of them pretending to be real men in the woods and meeting these infinitely out of their league younger women just screams midlife crisis. Honestly the chemistry with this couple was there, they were both secretive, squirmy immature people who brought out the best and worst in eachother. He's a talented engineer, but even with the random flashes of problem solving and the ability to inspire his coworkers I just couldn't believe the genius persona. Like they laid it on too thick or something. And I didn't care at all if he failed or not. I started skipping a lot near the end so I probably missed some things but I think I got the gist.
The AI workplace was super skeevy with the mustached boss man being the biggest creep in a show packed with them. I saw complaints about the brastrap thing, but honestly that paled in comparison to all the other inappropriate workplace behavior from Tong Yu and Xu Duo. They both crossed the line into harassment and blackmail several times. The employee thief was right when he was talking about the two of them being too much at work, and about him and the secretary keeping it on the DL from fear of reprisal.
The little boy was the big redeemer of this mess. He was amazing, and adorable and has a good career ahead of him. I was a bit thrown off when they dropped the news about the kid not being his and the fact he wasn't even dating her by the time she died. Like they'd been broken up for several years when she died...
