A clean watch
Professional Single was one of my earliest C-dramas, and I remember absolutely loving it. The funny thing is, even now when I think back on it, I realize I still do.
The whole story is set in an art college, and that setting alone gives the drama such a calm, pleasant vibe. It’s the kind of show you put on when you want to relax and just spend time somewhere nice. Nothing too heavy, nothing too stressful — just romance, friendship, and a bit of comedy blended together in a really comfortable way.
I like that the drama is very level-headed. It never becomes extremely silly or irrational, and it doesn’t try to force unnecessary drama either. Is it realistic? Not really — college life isn’t always this pretty or happy. But it also doesn’t completely ignore problems. There are stakes, just handled softly. It shows a version of campus life that most of us would love to experience, and that’s part of its charm.
And the vibes? Warm, easy, comforting.
Now let’s address the VERY obvious thing — the height difference. I know many C-dramas use this trope, but here it genuinely feels extreme. She looks so tiny next to him, and somehow it becomes ridiculously cute and adds to their overall dynamic.
I also appreciated the female lead a lot. She isn’t trying hard to act cute; it comes naturally through her clumsiness and personality. That makes her feel more genuine and less forced. The male lead did a really good job too, and together their love story feels clean, soft, and satisfying without unnecessary toxicity.
One more thing I truly appreciated — it didn’t drag. You know how some dramas start losing energy toward the final episodes? I never felt that here. It stayed consistent and pleasant all the way through.
At the end of the day, this drama might not be revolutionary or super deep, but it gives you something equally important: comfort. It’s easy to watch, easy to like, and sometimes that’s more than enough.
