No redeeming part of this show
What a truly horrendous show. I'm convinced the top reviews on the reviews page MUST be bots. There cannot be a way that people consider this a 10 show. "Let people like what they like" NO!!!!!
A laundry list of things that were incredibly stupid in this show:
1. Nothing happens in this show to warrant it having 36 episodes. I am not joking: I watched 10 episodes and NOTHING IN THEM ADVANCED THE SHOW AT ALL. I don't say "advanced the plot" because there is barely any plot, despite attempts at pretending the characters are interesting and the business/journalism stuff stands up.
2. The main romance.... LAUGHABLE. Do they like each other???? What do they like about each other???? What do they tak about??? What do they enjoy doing together??? I ask all of these questions because YOU NEVER FIND OUT THE ANSWERS. These are fundamental to telling a successful romance! There are SO many scenes where they're in the car together, or they're in his office together, and they are just SILENT. They don't talk to each other. They don't do anything! I don't believe they like each other so I don't believe in the romance. The show doesn't WANT you to believe the romance. It just wants you to go along with it because they're the Main Couple.
3. Shi Yan. No personality except Stern. Controlling. Possessive. Terrible Businessman. Also WHD definitely needed to be dubbed.
4. Please stop making Bai Lu play cutesy characters :( She needs more substance than this!!!
5. They stretched out the business/journalism stuff for so long, but they are both TERRIBLE at business AND JOURNALISM?
6. The way the second couple (Shan Shan/Guan Ji) are just MISERABLE. How many scenes did we endure where they would Yearningly Stare at each other, do nothing, willingly misunderstand each other, be completely wrong for each other, and repeat? GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. The third couple (Shi Yue/Yu You)... ick. Just ick.
8. How many times must a phone ring when they're about to kiss/need to say something important/do anything? PUT THAT SHIT ON SILENT.
9. Speaking of phones, WHY IS IT THAT EVERY CONVERSATION OVER THE PHONE CAN BE HEARD BY THE OTHER PERSON? ARE YOU BLARING THE VOLUME LEVELS OR WHAT?????
10. I have more complaints but I kinda forget about the rest. I'm so glad there are so many episodes.
