Where is the revenge?!! Plenty of kisses but no chemistry between the leads
I am a big fan of Destined to Like You. A member of subreddit CShortDramas told me that this drama is another version of Destined to Like You. Since I enjoy Ma Shi Yao's acting, I decided to watch and hhhhm this pales in comparison to the other drama.
What I liked:
1. Kisses - Plenty of them and 95% was initiated by ML. He devoured her.
2. Supporting characters - I liked ML's buddies because they provided different points of view when ML confided in them. I also liked the guy who is friends with her sister.
3. Opening - That scene is memorable alright. My saved Youtube link is gone but I can still remember what happened in the first 5 minutes.
4. Styling - I liked outfits worn by ML & FL. Ma Xin Yu looked normal sized and that's nice in comparison to stick thin, underweight actresses.
What I disliked:
1. Acting - Not good. Ma Xin Yu's acting was one-note. She seemed indifferent most of the time - her facial expressions were poor. There was lack of chemistry and synergy between her and Ma Shi Yao.
2. Romance - There was no emotion / desire behind those kisses despite the high volume. They kissed on cue and romance was mostly one-sided.
3. Revenge - This drama is supposed to be about FL seeking justice for her sister who was bullied by rich kids. However in this version, there was hardly any focus on the revenge. She was a scatterbrain. If I hadn't watched Destined to Like You, I wouldn't understand why she approached ML in the first place.
Favourite scene
When ML complained to his friends about FL's remark to him
