Major Disappointment
I had a lot of high hopes for this drama but I was sorely disappointed. I honestly couldn't watch through the whole thing without skipping because it was genuinely so boring.
CONS:
The biggest issue was the beginning, the 2 leads have so much in common that it seems like a cheap way to convince the audience they belong together.
As usual the woman is highly ambitious but poor with tons of baggage and the man is rich and handsome and willing to risk opportunities for her at first sight .
Their romance and chemistry was not convincing and you could tell me they were siblings and I'd believe you.
The acting was quite lackluster and the actress especially wasn't able to pull of the nuanced role she was given and it made the FL's character seem a bit bland.
Didn't like how they made the ML such a huge pushover and his personality seems very contradictory considering he's supposed to be "smart".
The fact that they showed us present day in the first episode made it less fun because everyone had an idea of what would happen, It also took away from my joy of shipping the FL's friend and prof together because I knew they would not end up together immediately atleast.
The relationship, though mildly cute, was not convincingly strong enough to result in so much drama...The main leads did not share any significant chemistry. The main cause for this according to me was bad direction and not choosing a suitable FL actress. She doesn't have much experience and it clearly shows because she was unable to convey the depth of the Fl's feelings, Arthur Chen's acting was good but nothing amazing and he definitely has more potential imo with a better script and cast.
I ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION THIS BUT WHY DOES EVERY FREAKING MODERN DRAMA WITH A STRONG FL, HAVE A ML SAVES FL DURING PERIODS SCENE?????? like the writers want to show that he saves her when she is vulnerable and vulnerability comes only during periods and i'm surprised these women are always so unprepared considering it happens EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH. smh
This drama was so bad that I forgot it was still airing after 2 days of not watching any new episodes.
Overall the Beginning was bad and the ending was also bad. The 6 is for the supporting actress who i think did a pretty good job in the beginning and her styling throughout the show was immaculate. Arthur chen's acting was nothing to write about but certainly wasn't bad enough to complain about either. If i ignore the obvious cliches and other factors this wasn't the worst thing I've watched atleast the first half wasn't.
If you like Arthur chen and don't really care about plot and chemistry then watching this is for you. (Im literally not even writing pros because the music was the only good thing everything else was just decent)
