noob

- The story was very clearly a web novel adaptation, a lot of things didn't feel like they pass as something believable in a live action show, and a lot of the plot was quite ridicolous honestly. The pacing was tolerable most of the time, but I did skip some scenes especially in the middle episodes because they really dragged on. This is definitely a more "trashy" and cheesy romance show, nothing really feels realistic about it, but it still has a charm because of that. It's silly, mushy, but still kinda lovable.

- The mains were all right, I think they did what they could with this plot and writing, I think Chi Cheng's character was played the best, the actor really felt like this edgelord comic character, I liked his acting! The others had lots of under/overacting that didn't really fit with the vibe all the time.

- I really liked the lighting, and the camerawork and makeup was nice too. It reminded me of Taiwanese shows (I don't watch that many Chinese ones), which are also lovely and have a good taste in that department.

- I actually really liked the songs they used as the soundtrack, but there were only a few ones so they became quite repetative fast.

- The show definitely had a few soft "corn" parts, I'm not into erotic stuff, so I skipped those. Overall it was fun to watch when I wanted something kinda over the top lovey-dovey.

- The overdub of the whole show is pretty bad though. I mean it kinda works, but so many scenes felt odd, and it pretty much messed up all the crying scenes.

- I feel like my rating is a bit high, because it really was just a cheesy drama, but I also feel like it's a bit low, because I think in its own genre it did succeed making it how they wanted it to be, so I'm at odds about what to rate it.
