SpoilerThe first few episodes were really fun. The ML paying attention to every little expression and the FL constantly switching roles for her lies were genuinely hilarious. I thought the whole drama would keep this light and logical tone. But then, I had to watch Si Da’s ridiculous career arc. Until the very last episode, he was madly in love with Rounan, and honestly, it was the worst portrayal of unrequited love I’ve ever seen. I was as happy about the girl who loved Si Da finally giving up on him as I’ve ever been about anything in this drama.
This show gave me 43 episodes of how the entertainment industry works, and barely any meaningful romance. Would rather give me a heartfelt love story than endless shots of Si Da’s career. The main plot of the ML constantly remembering his ex and breaking up with the FL happened at least 300 times. The drama only started to become somewhat tolerable after episode 23—not good, but at least not unwatchable.
The second couple was actually very sweet, and probably the only thing I truly enjoyed here. By the finale, I literally fell asleep while watching. Maybe I fainted, I don’t know. I only watched this drama because of a bet with my cousin, who promised to make me watch a “bad drama” if I lost. To be fair, it wasn’t the absolute worst pick, but still—overall, it was terrible, with very few good scenes.
Don’t watch this, and definitely don’t make others watch it.

Lack of Plot Variety
I'm writing a review for Spring Burning, which stars Chen Fang Tong once again. The drama is almost entirely focused on building a business and making money; it feels like there are no other plotlines. While 'warm and supportive male lead' and 'smart female lead' are fitting descriptions for the show, and their chemistry wasn't bad, I would have loved to see this couple in a different script.Was this review helpful to you?
When Logic Fails, the Fun Begins!
I absolutely loved Almost Delicious! The plot is filled with constant absurdities that are just hilarious. I especially found it so funny that the male lead was constantly vomiting. The contrast between his cold, serious demeanor and the ridiculous situations he finds himself in was brilliant. Honestly, once you stop looking for logic, this drama has a vibe that is incredibly entertaining :DWas this review helpful to you?

Another Revenge Story
For the first time, the ending of a Chinese drama actually surprised me. It was technically a classic finale, but Chinese dramas usually end with a happy ending or stay ambiguous. Honestly, even though the male lead died, it’s not a big deal because the leads have starred together in at least four different dramas.I really don't like the male lead's acting; it feels like he’s about to burst out laughing in every single scene. On the other hand, the female lead is very beautiful and her acting is actually good. I don't understand why they keep starring in so many dramas together when they don't even have any chemistry?!
