Why do the FL’s have to be so weak and pathetic at the beginning of these shows?

There are 24 episodes at approximately 10 minutes each of this terrible but watchable drama. The FL is given bullet comments of her life through some supernatural thing and can predict the future and while I absolutely hated her just sitting under the bed while her boyfriend cheated on her. I understand why they did it.. the ML is seeking the truth of his mother‘s death and he’s already suspecting his older brother. The older o son is a cretin and soon gets his comeuppance amongst all of the villains.. even though the FL had quite a character arc in terms of development it was really all a bit meh for me after her weak and pathetic efforts in the first half of this show so the emotional release was not there for me because I’d already checked out.

Transmigration with a twist - the last 15 minutes increased my enjoyment of this drama!

I was in the mood for Zhao Mu Yan dramas for an upcoming reddit post on her dramas. I decided to watch this drama because the poster was eye-catching and I had not watched Liu Zi Heng's dramas. The drama started off good then I found it ordinary (aka nothing new) but the last 15-20 minutes were refreshing - I changed my view from an average score to a B+.

What I liked:
1. Tone - I liked the light-hearted vibe of this drama. It was endearing to see Zhao Mu Yan in this character and to see FL's inner thoughts heard & appreciated by her family.
2. Transmigration arc - It's great to see FL having a conversation with the system about her living the life of someone else (the host). I appreciated it a lot because many transmigration dramas have their main characters accepting their fate in the new world. I also loved the fact that FL told ML about her situation.
3. Romance - Despite the flashbacks / dejavu, I totally bought the concept of ML having real feelings for FL. The relationship developed slowly because romance wasn't a priority for FL but once FL and ML got together, the love and desire were clearly on display. Great kisses and passionate intimate scenes. The confession close to the third act is my favourite part of their romance.
4. Acting - Amazing performances by Zhao Mu Yan and Liu Zi Heng. They had great chemistry.
5. Dynamics - I enjoyed watching the interactions between FL and her parents and between FL and her brothers. The staircase scene was just comical.
6. Final 15 minutes - Good writing that is supported by wonderful performances. The unexpected visit was a nice touch.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - The adopted daughter was insecure and envious of FL. She was up to no good but I was glad that the family noticed her true colours and disowned her. I also found her arc bland as I had seen so many arcs like this one - that's why I mentioned "The drama started off good then I found it ordinary (aka nothing new)" at the start of my review.

I'm shocked that this is so highly rated...

Y'all... are we watching the same series? I can forgive the horrible nonconsensual start to the relationship for the sake of fictional stories don't have to depict the most healthy relationships... but everything else that comes after a drunken affair makes 0 sense to me. First of all, Ploy and Vee both cheat for the first time on the same night, right? Fine, they both keep it a secret from each other. Makes perfect sense. They both continue to cheat on each other emotionally and/or physically for *2 months*. Fine. What the loving hell is Mark doing???? His whole moral code seems to point directly opposite of being the other man/supporting cheaters to the point where he gives up on his crush because his crush started dating someone. Now why the hell would he not immediately tell Vee when he sees Ploy literally behind them on the streets? Or why did he take a video in the hallway and not show Vee when he is literally asking for proof after buying perfume? Most crazy of all, why would he let Vee stay in his house for almost a whole week while Vee continues to talk otp to his GF and lie about where he is... Why did Vee not break up with her before the exams? None of these actions make any sense to me. Mark has no self-respect, despite being built up to be a very proud character. Vee supposedly always loved Mark yet he's the worst written character ever. And Ploy is the only one who makes sense because unlike the other two she doesn't know shit about them cheating on her.

TL;DR I feel like not enough thought was placed in the motivation behind any character actions in this series.

Suspicious Partner adalah drama yang memadukan romansa, komedi, dan misteri hukum dengan cukup seimbang. Ceritanya berkembang perlahan, dimulai dengan nada ringan dan komedi, lalu berangsur menjadi lebih gelap seiring munculnya kasus-kasus kriminal yang lebih serius.

Alur penyelidikan disajikan dengan cara yang mudah diikuti, meskipun tidak selalu ketat secara hukum. Namun, fokus utama drama ini memang terletak pada hubungan antar karakter dan perkembangan emosi mereka. Perpaduan antara ketegangan kasus dan momen romantis membuat drama ini terasa mengalir dan tidak terlalu berat.

Secara keseluruhan, Suspicious Partner adalah tontonan yang menghibur dengan konflik yang cukup emosional dan karakter yang relatable. Meski ritmenya sempat terasa melambat di beberapa bagian, daya tarik cerita dan dinamika karakternya membuat drama ini tetap menyenangkan untuk diikuti hingga akhir.

So damn cute??? i ended up smiling till the end!!!!

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! It was soo sooo soooooooo cute❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ probably the cutest BL I've ever watched. Both kota and naoya were soo adorable. I really loved this series and will most probably keep re-watching it cz it's a 0 stress watch but it's not like its just fluff and has a plot so i won't get bored. This drama just gave me all the feels.

The only thing i was not satisfied was probably the ending😭. It's a happy ending and a complete happy ending but i wish we'd get to see kota permanently moving in with naoya and also him giving him permission to kiss and go further🤭🤭.. i just realised the whole drama had 1 kiss and that was in episode 1 when naoya does it cz he thought kota would like it but after that they just kiss on the cheek😭😭 but i like that he waited for consent that we rarely see in BLs.. i wish this gets a special episode or something but that's not gonna happen cz this was 3 years ago. But overall it was a really good watch
