This is the first Chinese dating show I have watched. I am surprised I enjoyed it so much! The good: the participants seemed eager to truly find love and not just fame! The tears and laughter looked real. I felt sympathy towards the ones who tried and failed to make a love connection. I wish they had a followup special with the participants to see how their lives changed and if they were still coupled up after the show. The bad: Way too much advertising, product placement! The adverts seem to have more air time than the show. Too much talk time with the emcees. I loved some of their comments. They seem to understand love relationships very well But, I had to fast forward through a lot of it. 8/10

Chill. It’s just a comment in a comment section and not an attack on the drama. No need to defend. I respect your right to have an opinion even if I don’t agree with it. I hope you can respect mine. I clearly stated I only watched 3 episodes. Make a judgement accordingly or just ignore it. I did not even rate it. I’ve seen many negatively rate a drama before it even airs. That’s not my style. We can agree to disagree or not. It’s just a story. Nothing worth getting upset over. Enjoy the drama!

It’s just my opinion and it’s formed after watching hundreds of Asian dramas and movies. I’ve found the opening 10% of the episodes (and the trailer) are designed to capture the viewer and set the stage for future episodes. This did not capture me. Of course, it could get better in later episodes. But, for me, there wasn’t enough in the early episodes to inspire me to watch the rest. Again, it’s my opinion. My examples of dramas that are excellent in the early episodes: Princess Agents (action/romance), Story of Ming Lan (Family/romance), Go Ahead (family), The Bad Kids (suspense/murder), Sound of the Desert (romance), Master’s Sun (mystery/rom), Angry Mom (school/family), Age of Youth (friendship/rom), Nirvana in Fire (palace) and From 5 to 9 (romance). The Wolf and Zhao Ge ( both fantasy/rom) are epic trailers setting the stage for dramas that draws one into watching whenever they air. Again, it’s just my opinion.
Starting with toilet jokes in the first 10 minutes sets the stage for the rest of the movie. It’s so bad it’s funny. It really is designed for pre-teens who find fart humor and no skin ship worth watching. The bright side is Jiang Chao has his worst projects behind him! 6.5/10
Try Love O2O! It’s happy from front to back! The main couple get together early and never break up!
There is no love triangle. They start with a great working relationship that slowly evolves into a romantic one. They don’t break up after becoming official.
I should have watch this before watching Nothing But Thirty which set a new benchmark for women lead dramas. This…
Each strong business woman is emotionally shaken when their non-committal ex comes back into their life. Each ex is confident and manipulative. This is standard drama, predictable and boring. Dropped after episode 3.
Great acting and storytelling. It has some of the best kissing scenes ever in an Asian drama! This would have been almost perfect except for the oppressive last episode. 9.5/10
This is a sleeper hit because of a decent script, a believable woman hiding as a man and the adorable chemistry between the leads even before she is exposed!
Let me VENT for a sec:So the 3 generation of Bad women are in trouble (who cares) and now Ling Xiao is put in…
Ling Xiao’s maternal side of the family is a bag of self-centered snakes. We can see where the mother gets it from. They see him as a burden or a tool to lessen their burdens. Looks like his mother married into a set of like minded in-laws who cut her out of the family as soon as her new husband died, forgetting that his speeding made her cripple! The worse is the uncle who called him names and blamed him for the death of his first sister! They dump a cripple and a child on him to raise and tell him he’s to blame! Ling Xiao is too good. I would never speak to them again! ZiQui’s father has village gangster mentality and he wants his son as an heir to his wealth. He seems to care for him a tiny bit even though he pressured him. But, he won’t bully him. I’m sure he can’t stop him from permanently returning to China when he gets older.
I just want to see the family reunited again. Without stretching out the separation period too much!
