rich CEO meets poor girl

Hmmmm, its one of those cliche kdramas where rich CEO meets poor girl and no one wanted to ruin their relationship.
I enjoyed it and some parts were really funny. The office drama was a given since no one was trying to break up the leads.
Fast forward to the last episode, I think they over did it with the amnesia. The dress was very predictable and having the same scene a year after and suddenly his memories come back? I didnt like how they wrote that. Most importantly, wasnt her "goal" to find her sister? Like what happened to that?
So she wasnt important? They just wrote the sister out.
I kinda like the ending because at least they started a family.

Starting off i see why people were disappointed about this season. Personally i really enjoyed to watch it and i liked it a lot but there were also many things to criticize about.

Some of the character deaths felt pretty rushed, for example i was very disappointed how early they killed Hyun-ju and many other characters. They kept the least interesting characters till the end but killed many of the fan favorites at the beginning! Speaking of killing there's no way someone could kill their own son for someone they have known for only few days??

I have very mixed opinions about the ending. I was sure that it wouldn't have happy ending (thankfully) but still Gi-huns death lowkey shocked me. I did NOT care for the winner but atleast it wasn't predictable i guess😭? And like Gi-hun was already depressed and probably wouldn't have stayed alive after the games.

Despite all the criticism i really liked to watch the season! The games were good (not as good as s2 games tho😞) and Yim Siwan is one of my favorite actors so I'm happy how much screentime he got🥹🙏🏻.

Zhang Chuxuan is star in this drama.

I watched this when i was on Zhang Chuxuan fever and rewatch the drama it was interesting drama.

The plot is about FL was doctor in modern time transmigrated into FL in 90's when she was hooked up with ML (For Zhang Chuxuan term, Her scene are quite racy) and thinks she was got wet dream (It's was hilarious scene).

Zhang Chuxuan is nailed for kind of spunky and smart Female Lead. Her Chemistry with Wang Yiran is decent to watch and their progression is quite fast for period drama.

The ending is not explained well and this is the weakest point of this drama

Still deserve to recommend despite the flaws.

Not so bad amnesia drama.

I watched this since i liked Deng Yanni acting and Li Shengjie as Male Lead are quite fine for his drama i had watched.

The plot is about FL realized her fiancé got affair with her best friend when he choose to save her best friend when they got accident and got amnesia. When FL wakes up, she mistook ML who was FL fiancé uncle as her lover.

The plot is generic on amnesia plot but i like how Male Lead is not steal the opportunity when FL claimed he was his lover. Instead he tell the truth first and asked the doctor about her partial amnesia affect her.

Female Lead was not damsel in distress, she is happy virus even after everyone near her betrayed her trust. I understand why ML was fall in love with her for the first time.

The chemistry between Deng Yanni and Li Shengjie are cute to watch.

Recommended to watch

A touch of archetype subversion

The story is a concise, well drawn progression of Hioki and Watarai from strangers to boyfriends. The show manages to illustrate the inner life of both of the main characters so well, that it would have been nice if the writers were allowed to go even further with more episode runtime to explore some more of the psychology and the impact of the popularity hierarchical expectations that haunts the both of them and the other popular kids as well. The switch in perspective to Watarai was especially fascinating. Watarai himself is suffocated the unwanted idol status that has been forced upon him just because of how he looks, particularly in the way that his otherwise normal actions causes the class to smack talk a classmate that he just randomly lent a pen to. He hears the shallow way people gossip about him, which is why he's so incredibly touched to overhear Hioki describing Watarai the way Watarai sees himself to Hioki's friends, as a normal guy. We see through Watarai's perspective that Hioki is not an awkward loner at all, he's actually very sociable and well liked among his school sports team friend group. His own friendship with the other guys was also only formed because they happened to be in the same class and started talking to each other because of the weirdness of being grouped together as "The Big Four" by their schoolmates though they literally never met each other until that sophomore year class.

Both Hioki and Watarai are trying to figure out things as they go and it's lovely how they are both communicative through their feelings. I love how Hioki acknowledges how brave Watarai has been making the first steps to connect with Hioki and confessing to him and Hioki steps up to bravely ask the question to solidify their relationship as boyfriends. The supportive adult of the series is Ryoto who is the older brother of one of the popular kids Morisaki. He has a rather horrific introduction in which he tricks Hioki into thinking he's been kidnapped to be murdered. That's not a funny prank to anyone let alone a teenager. Though I think guys should be shown this scene to understand the perspective of what women have to deal with and fear. Outside of that terribly unfunny prank, Ryoto notices Watarai's feelings for Hoiki and lets Watarai know that Ryoto it was nice for him to subtly let this queer kid he just met know that he's not alone.

Decent drama with bad styling.

I watched this version with 50:50 expectation since i was dissapointed with Jiang Shiqi version and eager to watch what Guo Yuxin and Liu Yuhang brings after their Mulise.

The Plot is actually almost same but Female Lead are more smarter in here. Male Lead character are not too charming, he was to basic despite his achievement. There is less couple screen but the chemistry is better than previous one.

I was distracted with Male Lead bad styling on the entire series and most of his clothes are crumpled and He supposed to works on military on period time.

You can watch if you run of idea what to watch.

Interesting premise, but executed poorly

The first half of the drama was nice and interesting. However, the plot kinda fell apart after that. It made me bored and I kept skipping some scenes because I think ‘it’s not that important’. And sure enough, it’s not.

What really irks me is the character of Shizuma. I can’t relate with him nor do I understand his actions. Why would he suddenly fall for Minato? Very hard too, at that. The bet was also resolved very quickly, which I think kinda takes away the plot, because from then on it’s like they keep beating around the bush (bahasa indonesianya bertele-bertele). The drama also focused on the background story of Minato, without giving us any on Shizuma’s. That’s why, for me, it felt very one-sided. And I do not like that very much.

The only good thing from this drama is the visuals— the actors and cinematography, and music too, yes. Anyway, I don’t hate this drama, but also don’t like it, soooo…..

I kinda recommend you watching this drama just to get the feel of it. You might like it, who knows.

Plotis actually nice but the couple chemistry are subpar.

I watched this since i want to watch Tian Tianyi and first time i review Xiao Wenyu in here (I watch his drama when he become reborn and i forgot the Female Lead name).

Plot is about FL mom and FL dad's mistress pregnant at the same time and FL dad asks fortune teller which child he should bring as Prince bride child. Fortune teller said FL dad's should bring FL mistress child into the palace and throw FL mom since he is loner star.

Actually i quite like how Female Lead want to break her stereotype as someone with bad luck and fight for her own freedom. Male Lead is not bad guy and he always like Female Lead since they met.

The plot weakens when the couple moment was there. Xiao Wenyu and Tian Tianyi chemistry is subpar, which is unfortunate.

Maybe you can watch if you are Tian Tianyi fans.
