Bai Jing Wants to Resign, but the Day Keeps Replaying
It's another cold CEO and poor, overworked secretary drama done in six-minute increments. It's amazing how many tropes can fit in those few minutes!
The Good:
• I enjoyed the scene of the ML and FL squatting behind a counter to spy on the other employees and nonchalantly replying they were just watching the workers when they were discovered. Not the least bit odd or suspicious!
• The leads were attractive and watchable.
• The title drew me in. Been there, done that!
• The time loop didn't become overly boring and repetitive. Kudos to the writer for that.
• I love it when a drama ends well, and this one had me smiling. Hands down, the best part. Note to self: be careful in a time loop, because you never know when it's going to end.
The Bad:
• Music was underwhelming and, in many scenes, missing.
• The budget was obviously small. FL spent 1/3 of the drama wearing the same pair of pink striped pajamas. Even when she spent the night with her parents, the ML had to borrow clothes from her father, but the FL's pink pjs were magically there, even though she hadn't taken luggage. She must always wear them under her clothes.
• The evil opposing CEO certainly gave up easily. I guess murder was just a whim with him, and he could take it or leave it.
• FL's ring tone drove me crazy. It's a good thing this was a mini series. I wouldn't have survived listening to that for 40 episodes.
I added a half star for the aftermath of the loop ending.
