Cheng Xiao needs to improve
Having watched "Love is sweet"with the same ML, it is obvious that the chemistry is very different very bad here,and the difference is due to the FL,Cheng Xiao. She could hardly make eye contact with her partner and fellow actors. Her face and voice is totally lacking in expressions,I wonder if perhaps there's so much botox that all the facial muscles died.Not 9nce did she manage a proper smile, merely pressing her lips together is NOT a smile !The short skirts they gave her is mostly crouch length suitable for a prostitute, just a few inches longer could make a huge difference in being "classy"obviously the stylists do not understand class and elegance
The songs sung in English was cringey and awful. The singer has such bad pronunciation of the English language. The melody is clearly written for a Chinese song with some random English words thrown in.

Far better if the FL is a 12yo child,her character doesn't make sense and she's poorly casted
The story is good except for the 2females' illogical behaviour. Especially the FL , her existence and thinking is beyond logic. They chose the wrong actress, she's too old to "act cute". Her illogical loyalty to her master is stupid and far better to be replaced by young sub-inteligent boy that the ML has a bond with,only a young sub-inteligent person can behave this wayThis drama is watchable only if you can edit out the romance and the FL. The writer has made the two female characters to be unreasonably stupid, their behaviour defies logic
Without those two female characters then the story would have been perfect
Its a complete waste of a good plot but episodes 27 and 28 is really the peak of idiocy --no logical human beings behave this way

Light hearted and fun,subtle humour, great chemistry
Finally,a rom-com that appeals to international fans. None of the"overacting"whiny,spoilt brat annoying females with over-embellished clothes, problems get solved quickly without dragging and no repetitive theme, and short 24 episodes. The humour is subtle and funny, even with some tongue in cheek sexual connotation if you listen out for itThe ML is super good looking. There's a great balance in his acting between an awkward genius intellectual with poor social skills, without being (the usual) cold and aloof. He is warm and shows emotional depth, even chatty at times.
The FL is pretty, and her charm really grows on you. She has high EQ but a little unconfident. Her hair and fashion is appropriate and stylish without being overdone. Both are very well acted as it could so easily be boring and cheesy but no trace of it here. Both showed character development
The story is simple but the script is natural, funny ,well arranged without dragginess, highly enjoyable

Good plot destroyed by pathetic characters
The story is good but they made women totally stupid and pathetic.The writers don't know what messages they want to focus on.Too much time devoted to the ever downward spiral of gambling,the plight of the poor and the "tear jerking"motherhood emotional stuff. I can understand it's trying to highlight that gambling is bad,yet "forgives"it by saying its an addiction (do you see a short gun forcing gamblers to gamble?) Then there's the mother child separation stuff ( children need stability and food,not a gambling mom who gives love but zero means of survival) The final INSULT is the protrayal of women with zero common sense ( like giving your ex BF your debit card) and the persistent enslavement to emotions to the point of idiocy and only a man ( Mr Lee the lawyer) can save them? THIS IS A LOW LEVEL STORY AIMED AT UNEDUCATED PEOPLE. Do the writers really think women are this stupid? Sorry I am highly educated and highly intelligent -this kind of story made women look bad. 90%of women are cleverer than this writer!!!! What an INSULT!Was this review helpful to you?
Too many unnecessary characters
The story and the acting is good but the introduction of the crazy numbers of random characters and sects are all thrown in at once. The crazy numbers of characters then lead to lots of fighting scene. These fighting scene were actually very good if taken individually but often thrown together without any good reasons. The plot is good but there really is just far too many random introduction of characters even 8n the last few episodes for absolutely no good reasons other than to show some fighting scenes which again is random with zero reasons. The few couple that developed were all juvenile in their style of "chasing"totally one sided with zero friendship or chemistryWas this review helpful to you?
All good except FL
Wonderful story , the directorships, cinematography , editing, script and everything is all good but Cheng Xiao the FL, needs to improve. She is like a piece of wood and has the same facial expressions regardless of the situation. She couldn't even make real eye contact, and only manage to look left and right in every situation with zero feeling. I have seen her in "falling into her smile"which is okay -ish but all her other films were poorly acted. She totally spoiled the dramas. It's a pity because she's quite pretty but she really really need to improveWas this review helpful to you?
