Short comment:
CAN I HAVE EXTENDED VERSION OF THE KISS IN EPISODE 34 PLEASE.

Oh, the one in ep36 is also okay!
I forever lament the fact that I can't see them going to the bedroom lmao

Finally, finally, finally, it's over! I binge-watch episode 31-36, and I started to love the drama again. The fun vibe the drama has in the beginning finally back in full swing!

Now that I've finished, I think it's a good time to write down my review.

Plot: 6/10
The plot of this drama is actually very shallow, it barely even scratch the surface. Ever since the first episode I could see that the drama didn't really take themselves seriously. They have fun with this silly plot and go along with it. I was entertained with it in the beginning, before the doomed break-up happened. But even before then, when Yi Yang started to come into the picture, this balance of pure comedy and silliness that the drama has, suddenly come into a halt. It felt like someone else demanded that this Yi Yang character needs to be there, and the script has to be rewritten. Because even though the plot was so silly it's borderline crazy, but it was really fun. I have fun refreshing my Viu page to see whether it has been updated with the next episode. Since Yi Yang came, it felt like the fun, the silly, the laughter the drama showed in the beginning just gone.

Then the break-up that went on for far too long, wasting a lot of plot and the screentime of our main couple so much. It felt like it had to be dragged in order to fit Yi Yang in there, even though he didn't even matter. He had little significance to the story, and yet he's there. It made me felt uncomfortable watching him in the drama, it felt like he's just so out of place. Why put him there if he didn't even needed?

Other than Yi Yang, I also felt that this drama suffered from having too many couples at the same time. The most useless would be Bi Ruoshan and Guanji. I don't even understand why they need to be there. Sometimes, they took too much screentime supposedly for our leads, and it caused the story to go stagnant for a while as well. I can still forgive Qin Shiyue and Yu You, as they don't take that much screentime. But still, with this many couple, the time spent for the two main leads also had to be cut down.

This showed started episode 35-36, where everything felt so rushed and so fast. There are times when the editing felt so weird. AND WHERE IS MY WEDDING.

Acting: 6/10
I didn't see any bad performances, but this means there's no one who stand out either. Bai Lu was okay, but most of the time she act like a child, so it didn't matter. The others are okay as supporting character. I might have the biggest problem with Wang Hedi. It's not that he's bad, but it felt like he's not progressing either in his acting. And when I first started the drama I mentioned it to my friend that he looked like a child trying hard to be a CEO. And when he speaks, it shattered my reality of the cold and dominant CEO. He doesn't sound like one. I felt conflicted saying this, but I'd rather him get dubbed.

Production value: 5/10
I don't even know what to say. There are times when I thought the camera angle totally unnecessary, and there are times when I thought it's just too much. The lighting felt off at times, and I kinda feel some discomfort watching some parts because the light is too strong.

Overall, the drama is 6/10. I enjoy the first 14 episodes of the drama, then the last 6 episodes. I like my drama fluffy and fun.

Ohh yeah it's okay then. I guess I just have to find it in some chinese website. Thanks for letting me know about the other people get an error as well!

I know. But I need to buy VIP first right to get them. I mean, I've been VIP for many years in WeTv, Youku, and Iqiyi. But somehow those fast track just disappear that's why I'm asking,

Do you know why?

I'm baffled as well. I mean I paid the VIP then I thought I can just pay for the fast track, but I got nothing. I don't mind no subs because I can understand Chinese, but where is my videoooo. Why you robbed me my money Mango

I feel like I got robbed? I joined the VIP in Mango and it said all 36 eps available, but I didn't get them? Anyone can tell me what happened?

How do you watch it?

Nah that's kinda scummy tho. He can be normal, but he had to be flirty. I watched the video and that's not the behaviour of someone with a wife and kid. Like, the fans know he needs to promote, but to be flirty with his co-star just no no. Even his co-star looks so uncomfortable.

Oh you didn't know about it? Before Wu Qian and her kid got photographed by the paparazzi, he is promoting a drama with his co-star. And he acts like he truly likes that person, and being flirty. At that time, he's already married with Wu Qian, even had a kid with her. It's so scummy.

But she's now out of that relationship and we, the fans, are happy about it.

Well, she got divorced already hahahaha
I was unhappy knowing she's treated badly. Now it's all better haha

EP30
By this point, I almost gave up. I think the episode is stuck and not moving anywhere. I'm tired of the misunderstanding. The drunken confession that goes nowhere. Shu Yi wanted to explain but ended up not explaining anything.

And one of the biggest flaw to the drama that I see in EP30: Too many couples.
We should focus on Shu Yi and Shi Yan, since their love story is stagnant at this point. And yet, they're moving nowhere. The other side couples got so much screentime. Why do we even get 5 minutes of ranch time that goes nowhere? Just for Shi Yan talking to Bi Ruoshan? The friend who actually helped in ruining the relationship in the first place?

I love Yu Yao, but really, it's just too much by this point. I'm not even sure what this drama is about anymore. It feels like they got together in this episode just for Qin Shiyue make that report to Shi Yan.

Too little interaction between the leads. The whole point of this story should be about the two of them, and yet they don't appear most of the time together. I guess I'll wait whether the drama is going to air another episode tomorrow. Looking at the preview, it seems like they're going to be back together in EP31. If they're still not, I think I'm gonna be raging mad.

Lmaoooo I'm a fan of Luo Yunxi and Wu Qian pairing since My Sunshine. I was so in love with them I follow all their projects after that without fail. And when we change to their adult version I almost cried lol

Bai Lu was never rumoured with Luo Yunxi I think? If yes, then I miss the supertopic in Weibo.

Did they refute it? Man, I really need to start checking weibo regularly again.

Lol I watch it after I go back from work and basically for stress relief. So I follow dramas daily for this purpose. It's easier to keep up with the story because I have no time to binge-watch with my work schedule.

Having expectation actually not that bad. But when you have too high of expectation and demanding things to be the same as you wanted, that's too much to me. I mean, where in the world you can get whatever you wanted? Lowering expectation is also a thing.

I don't understand why people have to bring other drama's name into another thread. Like, the XX drama is so much better than this drama! You can comment there, express your feelings. Why the need of talking about that in this drama, as it doesn't even related to the topic?

They didn't say anything basically confirmed it. Dating co-stars kinda her thing? I was debating with my friend about Luo Yunxi, but they were never caught. Who knows tho. She did date Xu Kai back then, I'm sure there's a news about it in weibo. I'm just too lazy to dig it.

I have to watch it T_T
I feel like it's torture but I need to watch it. Based on schedule it should be done on 29 Nov. So I just need to wait until next week haha

I don't really get the people who wanted career woman to be "mature."
I've been career woman all my life, for the past 20 years, and I'm still labelled as childish person. I can be petty at work and take small revenge when I don't like things my colleague done, or just being crazy and flirty in general if I wanted to. Like, not all career woman had to be sharp, be on the edge, looking like they're holier than thou, etc. That's why to me, Shu Yi was okay. At work, she did her job properly. It was only in front of Shi Yan she did something crazy. It's not that bad to me though. I mean, who wouldn't act like that in front of her boyfriend, or potential husband?

I watched all his drama, and I found the inconsistency in his acting. It's not about the timeline, but it's mostly about the people he's with during the filming. Legend of Anle, I watched that and I have to power through it because I do like Dilireba quite a lot, and my mom loves the palace or historical drama, so I watched it with her. But his acting in that drama is unstable. There are times when he's truly good, but there are times when I can barely look at him and not feeling embarrassed. That doesn't mean he's THAT bad, but in terms of consistency in acting, he's not consistent. Word of Honour is the time when he can truly act out his acting capability, maybe because he didn't need to worry about having to build the chemistry with his female co-star. Here though, he is able to express himself fully. It should be due to the good team and also good actors he's with, so he can be more relaxed and that reflected to this acting as well. At least, in my opinion.

From her past record, Bai Lu had the tendency to date her co-star. During this filming, I think she's already in a relationship with Zhang Linghe (I mean, it's basically confirmed by this point, as early during her drama with Luo Yunxi). So I guess she just wanted to avoid the possibility of getting into another scandal. Or so I think.
