Have watched up to ep 12 and I am stopping now until it finishes so I can binge and ff all the scenes I don't like. The problem I am having with this drama is pacing and I know some of it is related to ep. count. Why oh why would this drama be 35ep. I really don't understand. I find the lead characters interesting but apart from them falling in love, there is nothing else I find interesting enough to pull me in. And I really don't care about the 2nd couple. So what else is there, really??? I wonder.
Oh how I have missed her...I didn't watch TSOXcause the plot and genre is not my type so I can't wait for this one. Zhao Li Ying looks gorgeous in that pic.
I really love these three distinct women.... Lei Li is what we call the 21st century independent woman. She has it all money can buy but has to go battling heads with male egos at work. And again we have the wives always blaming her for sleeping with their husbands 🙄 😒 (this trope again, sadly). There is one area she hasn't paid attention to and that's relationships. I love when she has a moment of truth and honesty when she described her life but also how nice to have someone care for her and do the simple things instead of her doing it for herself. I actually like her CP with GX, however I think that the writer needs to make up their mind on chemistry cause sometimes I get the mom/son or sister/brother kind...and nope, it's not because of the age gap. And then we have Jia Nan whom I started of side-eyeing but grew to be my bias. JN is a product of her environment. She grew up seeing her mom being treated like doormate by her father so she pretty much hates being like her mom and tries by all means to defy that. And that means being impulsive, hot-headed, short-tempered and blunt like a sharp knife. I love that she is unapologetically herself and how she is pursuing a guy she likes. And then Doumei...Wow, I have mixed feelings about her but ultimately I respect her choices. A housewife who only knows how to keep pretty, cook, clean and stroke her m-in-law's ego for her husband. I really couldn't understand her at first but I have now and beginning to like her actually. Hmmmmm, And no...I can never be a housewife but I respect them. The guys haven't left a deep impact on me but then again, I'm here for the girls, so.....
P.S. If you wonder if you wanna watch it - I say try the 1st 4 ep and then decide.
No really, tell us how you REALLY think. lol I find it fun and lively and normal life in many spots. BTW, this…
Oh you're right on the part that Cdramas have a tendency to portray women in a negative light many times and ecah time I seenit, I try to point it out. If you don't see it here then, I don't know. Btw Douban rate it 2.2
The only one thing I cannot figure out is how this drama's title include "Gentleman" in it...The name in itself is self explanatory gentle and man. Here these characters are far from it soooo, sigh....anywho.
I really wanted to switch off my brain cells and enjoy this filler drama but when they touch upon certain subjects my brain just activated. What's with the TREATMENT of women in this drama 🤨. The whole it's a man's world, spraying testosterone left right and centre is not working well at all. Surely these men children know nothing about how to be a man. For instance Xu Do is being branded a slut that has slept her way through to the top and stil do to be where she is. TY can't fathom the idea that a woman is her boss and takes every opportunity to bring her down whilst playing the victim card. As a "gentleman" there is definitely a way of expressing when you differ in opinions rather than jumping to the fact that your boss is loose. Oh and the one time XD shows vulnerability and he happens to save her (eye-roll) he suddenly sees her as a woman...oh boo f**ng hoo TY. Man like this I can't stand them. And then we have the rich lady we haven't seen much of and already they label her as the arrogant icy diva...pft. Ah and we have Jason who likes girls because they are pretty, that's all....Are we objects😣 Nowonder he is about to be played, sorry not. Oh and he can't fold his ego when a woman point it to him of his unpalatable traits...pliz. I would have liked the professor if he wasn't hanging out with this bad bunch but like they say...Birds of the same feathers flock together. So in the end, lemme guess, the message will be Men are like this and women will eventually succumb....tsk tsk....utter Rubbish.
Zhang Han writes too...woow, Who knew. Actually, I really like it a lot. The story is not groundbreaking and yes, it has some cliches but it's entertaining to me and that's all I need. Sometimes, I just want to switch off my brain cells and have a good laugh. Ep 1 was hilarious...That hotel room mishap and how the friends were ready to bail him out without knowing what's going on made me LOL. The friendships are the highlight and yes, we will probably have some angst but I just wish it remains this fluffy. If I am to switch on my brain, then I will have a whole list of things I don't like/want but I choose not to and will go by what's being served. Plus these guys are freaking 🔥
It's no secret this drama is the darling of the moment and I, myself (and probably everyone else) have been stalking all the BTS moments between our fairy and the charming devil 😍✨️ And I never ever thought I could drop a tear from a bts until I watched this: https://youtu.be/lLvmgMG65sM
P.S. I have noticed when the FL and ML are in the same age range, they have this fun, childish, adorable and charming like relationship bts. Esther and Dylan are like that. Lusi and Wulei were like that too.
When it's now half way through, I thought to check it now. And now I'm kicking myself for not waiting until it finishes airing cause, I have binged watched and I'm all caught up...sigh The Good Wife (US) is one of my all time favourite and I'm such a fan of the Female lead character (Alicia is a gal crush alright). So I have followed up on all the remakes. So far Japanese remake is my fav. because it's short concise and focused on the FL character but also around the cases. I disliked the ex-husband but not to the point of wanting to murder him each scene he appeared. The K-version is a bit boring to me. I would say the FL character portrayal is more like Alicia (US FL) though. Plus I had a dilemma of hating and swooning over the ex-husband. Let's just say Kversion has beautiful people. In this one, I like it actually because even though I know its a remake, somehow the execution feels like other Cdramas we have seen. So no harm no foul. Gosh I just hate the ex-husband...Now this is the one, I feel like murdering each time he appears.
hm alright so far altho i feel that the leads dont seem very compatible.
I actually think they do have chemistry, I mean given the few scenes they have together, the have managed to cultivate pretty great chemistry. Those eye contacts and little conversations they have are heart fluttering. Now I also think that they may not have that intense, palpable chemistry we see in other dramas plus OTP (Dream of splendour type of chem) because this drama is not really focused on romance. It's more centered on medical with very very little romance hence why.
Omg! I just wanna slap Yiming's sister....she is behaving like B*** right now. She literally doesn't know TJY and yet she dislikes her already based on the rumours she heard plus that her brother likes her 🙄 And to top it off, she tries to force that bratty reporter onto her brother despite knowing full well whom he likes. And now she jumped the gun and have TJY face one of her traumas aka her estranged family whom she didn't want anything to do with. She is literally pi***ng me off. Now if JY and YM end up together, she will literally be a sister-in-law from hell....tsk tsk
Did ML's mother marry FL's dad? Or is ML's mom just a live-in housekeeper? If ML's mother did marry FL's dad,…
If I'm not wrong. GuangXi and his mother used to live close to Yike and her family so that's how they started knowing eachother. And then later, Yike's dad and GX's mother got married and I assume not long after, GX went to school abroad. If this is correct, it explains how GX and YK memories of eachother are when they were young only. Also why GX is not that close to the family like the rest. Also I think one of the leads made a reference of eachother saying next door neighbour etc which is why I inferred that they may have started as neighbours. Ofc I could be wrong.

The kiss that was cut in ep 20
ENJOY!
I wonder too 🤔
Zhao Li Ying looks gorgeous in that pic.

And then we have Jia Nan whom I started of side-eyeing but grew to be my bias. JN is a product of her environment. She grew up seeing her mom being treated like doormate by her father so she pretty much hates being like her mom and tries by all means to defy that. And that means being impulsive, hot-headed, short-tempered and blunt like a sharp knife. I love that she is unapologetically herself and how she is pursuing a guy she likes.
And then Doumei...Wow, I have mixed feelings about her but ultimately I respect her choices. A housewife who only knows how to keep pretty, cook, clean and stroke her m-in-law's ego for her husband. I really couldn't understand her at first but I have now and beginning to like her actually. Hmmmmm, And no...I can never be a housewife but I respect them.
The guys haven't left a deep impact on me but then again, I'm here for the girls, so.....

Most times, I don't agree with this platform so this is the first time I agree...hehe
Btw Douban rate it 2.2
