Why the Nice premises to become Wasteland of both actor skills?

I have high expectation with collaboration between Guo Yuxin and Shen Haonan and i have to say the drama is quite big disappointment for both actors. Guo Yuxin queen of chemistry didn't work well in this drama. Even Shen Haonan didn't save this drama.

The plot is about FL confessed to ML who happened to be her boss and her boss is fired her (quite understand the boss POV but it was too extreme since it just merely confession not sexual harassment just giving warning is enough unless FL do it for many times). FL is regret her action, getting drunk,hooked up with her boss and run away from him.

FL is actually not easy to being bullied which is quite nice but for Romance drama and the actor caliber the kiss was on rookie level (this is not campus drama duh, office drama usually have sizzling kiss). There is too much jump on the plot which is the plot is going nowhere and the ending is like eh what happened? what did i watch? did i getting hypnotize? where is my precious time?

Not recommend to rewatch. Just once is enough.

Classical Tale that like black tea, can be enjoyed by every moment.

This is like K-Drama High Society where FL pretends to become socialite to go aboard and search for rich husband which happened to be ML best friend. ML knows FL is not socialite and feel she actually target him, her hinder all her effort for getting ML friend's love. FL scholarship was being sabotaged by ML best friend sister who happened to become ML fiance. ML is slowly attracted by FL due her strong sense of mind.

I love main character growth especially FL for being just materialistic until she declare to not engaged by ML best friend due her change of value view. Even ML best friend love her, she knew she would be replaced by his ex. She knew her worth. Its contain so deep because FL pretends to be rich while ML best friend sister pretend to be genius.

ML on the other view was being senile by FL presence, slowly tried to enter FL world and know the truth. Despite all of his hatred to FL before, He still want to help FL to gain her purpose even he still forced his love to her.

The Chemistry is on fire even the kisses was not too much compare to their other work.

Recommended to rewatch again.

Quite promising but Chaotic Ending (in both way)

I never though this drama is slowly turn to be reverse harem. But i quite enjoy the chaotic of the relationship.

The Plot is about FL found her husband had affair with green tea and want to divorce him. She went to bar to met stranger with mask who happened to be ML and just hooked up and left. ML was devastated and want to search FL without know her real identity. But FL met ML by knowing he is her husband uncle. Because she is too scared of him She search younger man who pretends to be her personal secretary.

I like how despicable SML aka FL ex husband character progression even he didn't deserve to be with FL he is just want to redeem himself to become slave and make his mother furious. The bonds between the MLs are quite harmonious despite they dislike each other

The ending is quite chaotic, She just got her harem without any commitment.

Fake Upright FL

I watch it because of Zhang Beixi even i dont like his character in here. I never fans of Li Ruoqi acting and yeah she cannot make me like the character.

I know the plot is quite common FL and ML break up and 4 years later they met when FL tried to make love with SML. FL get hymen operation to assure she is virgin lmao.

Genuinely felt bad for SML, He got into jail because her father did crime. His best friend backstabbed him to get his dream girl His dream girl just used him for revenge. Only his character deserve justice.

The ending was too hypocrite for me she want to get feminist stand by her but her action is saying otherwise always dependent on men. Ugh.

Not recommended. Full of FL hypocrisy.

The Refined version of Gu Xin Wan-Attorney Yan

There is many version of Gu Xin Wan-Attorney Yan plot and nothing could beat Yuyin Shen Haonan version until i saw this version.

The plot is meticulously well written without leaving abrupt and correct the flaws of previous version (the son involvement in this story, ML met his son, FL redemption from ML family, FL confront her father and her stepmother, FL tried to open her heart to ML). The cat mouse between the couple is not dragged like previous version and i like how ML are quick witted to realize FL is not guilty from her crime. Du Yafei and Ma Lejie chemistry unfortunately couldn't beat Yuyin and Shen Haonan version but plot wise they latter version got their benefit since they minimize the plot hole. The comedy in this version is barely exist and i still like how they fix the plot holes that previous version couldn't hide.

If you focused on plot, i suggest to watch this version instead.

One of example how to create plain story into wonderful gem.

I love Guo Yuxin and this is Liu Haoqun first vertical drama without Jiang Shiqi as his partner. I lowered my expectation since i always Liu Haoqun on comedy but surprisingly i liked their chemistry better than few of Guo Yuxin popular pairing. As expected from queen of chemistry. They feel like old married couple and their 90's are quite fashionable and not look tacky.

The plot is somewhat generic and cliche. FL aka Yang Chun Rong got forced to marry Mafia King but ML aka Lu Bing He
shows as his knight and somewhat FL accept ML marriage proposal and the sweet journey of love begin.

Liu Haoqun successfully delivers as Lu Bing He who looks cool but warm inside. The micro expression is on point and few of usual short drama actor could do that. Guo Yuxin are quite keen on choosing script she can make plain script into great story and its rare for actress from short drama to do that (the one is Han Yutong).

The minor flaw on the plot is about ML father who passed away and his friend going to jail for small amount of money. They could do it better with that plot.

Overall still recommend to watch for everyone.

The Current He Jingzou-Lin Wu with refined plot.

Its my first time seeing Gao Mingchen and Qi Wenting, this is my first review for them.

The Plot is about FL aka Lin Wu is meeting ML aka He Jingzhou and his assistant is being her customer(She works as convenience store cashier). She met ML again with help of ML friend. She knew ML has white moonlight who already has relationship with ML friend so she offers herself to have girlfriend contract and pretend to have crush with ML friend while she only loves ML.

I feel Qi Wenting is shown her rookie soul with her stiffness and lack of emotion on few scenes while Gao Mingchen creating He Jingzhou persona being playful and know boundaries. He can reject female advances clearly so there is no green tea attached to him/.The chemistry is 50:50 while the ML is trying hard with no effort FL but still watchable because of refined plot. They added FL family backstory especially her mother which previous version didn't show why FL personality is like that and shown FL poverty and her shabby room. The plot is most fast compare to previous version.

There is many version of this story but this is my personal favorite of ML characterization compare to other version.

Recommend if you want to dynamic duo and watch well-written ML.

The First He Jingzou-Lin Wu that stills win for me

Its my first time seeing Luo Mai Yi works and i quite familiar with Wang Ziyi works. I quite like her but she always deliver fake kisses or 0,1 second peck.

The Plot is about FL aka Lin Wu is meeting ML aka He Jingzhou who was her first love wants to kill someone and feel scared she pretends to being fine until ML and his assistant is being her customer(She works as convenience store cashier). Feeling scared, she almost make mistake while his assistant is being nosy about ML relationship since he tends to broke up for 3 months. She found ML beloved keychain and want to return it. She met ML again with help of ML friend. She knew ML has white moonlight who already has relationship with ML friend so she offers herself to have girlfriend contract and pretend to have crush with ML friend while she only loves ML.

Wang Ziyi doing great job to portrayed timid and insecure FL while Luo Maiyi creating He Jingzhou persona like Tsundere (Fierce outside, Love sick fool inside) and emotional stable person. Love how he called "Princess:, "Baby" to "Wife" while FL wants to stick for previous relationship agreement, she tried to not get excited about ML fluttering action. The chemistry is okay they got fluttering kisses since its campus drama. ML regret for not confessing to FL and doing ridiculous relationship with other is on point.

There is many version of this story but this is my personal favorite since FL in here quite superior instead another one while ML is still debatable and depends of how you want to view this story.

Recommend if you want to see secret love with slightly sweet taste.

Too much dragged will kill you.

This is my first Ji Jun Liang main character that i watch and Tang Qiqi is debuted with this. Both are my first review.

*inhale exhale* Ji Jun Liang knows how to kisses and he always getting horny for almost all the scene. Most of short drama ML need to learn how to kiss for him. Tang Qiqi despite being newcomer is better than famous short drama FL, she got potential. Their chemistry is cooking until the meat was being well-done

Plot is about FL being forced to kiss by ML without ML knowing before FL was being kidnapped and call ML but ML thinks FL is pulling prank and FL fight against kidnapper alone. FL wants to divorce ML with the crucial moment+ ML family didn't like FL and wants to match ML with family friend aka SFL. ML try to redeem himself by any means while FL wants to get divorce as fast as possible. While they are on divorce process, FL is pregnant and want to hide her pregnancy from ML.

ML characterization is on point, he is not bad person. He is making terrible mistake and try to cut himself from toxic family. I don't understand why people dislike FL character, if i was her i would do the same since ML didn't any trust for her. She knew what's right for her and never let herself being bullied by ML family. She indeed love him but her disappointment is bigger than her love plus she developed PTSD after her kidnapping

The ending was to rushed they could get giving that couple more lovey dovey moment or maybe explanation of the action. I remember there is other version of this story even with proper ending but all of chemistry never beats this version.

Still recommend this drama, despite all the flaw.

Stockholm Syndrome enjoyer would love this.

This is one of Chai Hui Xin underrated work because the plot is not much everyone liking *cough* Stockholm Syndrome. If you are morally right person, this drama is definitely NOT FOR YOU.

The Plot is about FL and ML who was being in love and want to get married after they graduated. Fate was playing cruel ML parents is dead by accident by FL father. Leading to them fall apart. To punish her, ML torturing FL by staying by his side like a canary bird. FL wants to get free from ML, so she is getting job without realizing the time since she is doing overtime.By tomorrow, ML comes to her workplace and met her boss as their company partner and feel overjealous. FL tried any means by asking her boss to accompany her to runaway from ML only to being catch again by him.

The Forced kiss is make me shiver (in good and bad way) because the sexual tension was sizzling especially the bathroom scene. Zhou Hang is such a good kisser and he is underrated since everyone barely talk about him.

Personally, I quite don't like the ending because it feels to rushed and you asked why they only get to make SML died in such a ridiculous way.

Only recommend if you are put aside the moral and Stockholm Syndrome story enjoyer.

Move On, we are not in 2023 anymore.

I was eager to watch Xie Yuwang and Lu Lulu second collaboration. I enjoyed their First collaboration and waiting for that long turns out it wasn't that much to wait.

The Plot is very 2023 coded. FL love ML twins. She make love with 'ML Twins' until get pregnant and they supposed to be married. ML Twins died in accident left FL being discarded by ML family since ML twins was being favored. ML turn to be Messiah by marrying FL which is make ML mother angrier. But when they get married ML left abroad alone leaving FL and she bore alone without anyone.

The Chemistry was left since Xie Yuwang knows how to kisses. FL characterization is inconsistent being doctor without logic and too dependent while ML mother and FL Family mistreating her. ML mother is pissed me of and she didn't get any character redemption. Couple lack of communication is sole problem since ML just left FL after they getting married so it's logic when he come back she want divorce, What do you expect, to wait like a nun?

The ending is trying to make open ending but somehow they force to Happy ending, duh.

Only to recommended for each artist fans.

Feels like eating bland curry.

I love Bai Yan and Wang Haozhen as actor and put my high expectation on this drama. I like dark romance and republican theme. i thought the formula is being there but turns out it was so-so for my liking.

Plot is generic formula. ML and FL was in love. FL seeing ML executed her 13 families and feeling heart broken. FL is disappeared while secretly pregnant. They met again while FL do arrange marriage meeting by her uncle. Family war between FL and ML make them fall apart. ML wants to win FL back by any means.

The kisses was indeed hot but still lack of chemistry and FL is being doormat character just want to make me sigh. She didn't do any revenge to spare her murdered family just being self-centered and didn't really care for her child due her neglience. ML is doing his best by portraying broken yandere character but still didn't make me like this drama.

Not really recommended unless you are respective actor fans.

Should focused on Female oriented instead

I was fan of Zhang Chuxuan and never watch Zheng Feng work. This is my first Zheng Feng work i ever watch

The plot is about FL found out her husband affair with her best friend, Her best friend murdered her husband (ML) and swapped their child after her death. Giving chance to reborn, she wants to get revenge to her husband and her best friend.

FL knew her child being swapped by her best friend so she tried to get back her child without being her best realized she will torturing her own child. The revenge plan is almost smooth even i almost forgot there is ML because his character is like side dish and forgettable. FL and ML didn't have any chemistry for romance and glad they don't put romance for a little bit. The ending is good since enemies is getting punished.

Still recommend to watch if you are Zhang Chuxuan fans.

Meticulously plot written at first but getting slope in the end.

I was fan of both actor (Zhang Chuxuan and Cheng Cheng). I put my high expectation on this drama and they come with almost no disappointment.

The plot is about FL found out her husband affair with her best friend and they want to kill and seize all of FL property. FL finally asks ML who was her dad illegitimate son to join force to fight her husband. There is little bit pseudoincest but actually ML is not FL dad son and secretly in love with FL but FL is always meticulous about their action so she didn't accept romantic feeling.

I like how story progress for FL being scammed and slowly try to get back her stolen property. The divorce is coming after she got all of her property. The child is pissed me out because he always take side with antagonist instead of FL. Despite long duration, they didn't tell about her child afterward.

Still recommend to watch if you want to watch revenge drama.
