Hello My Shining Love (2022)

Back n forth relationship between the leads… only watch if u like the casts!

I have mixed feelings about this drama, so here it goes…

What I like:
- The leads… i like both of them as actors n i’ve seen some of their works… they look cute together n their chems is good too…
- FL’s job as artist’s agent in the entertainment industry & ML’s position as a CEO of a fashion company r the interesting part of the drama… they work in the same field, so there r some work related stuff between them that I like… it’s how they support each other as friends n also lovers…

What I don’t like:
- The back and forth of the relationship between the leads r just too much for me… it’s like they like each other kinda early, but ML backs off so many times that it annoys me… n finally when he’s totally committed to FL, his past came back n triggered lots of probs…
- Not enough happy moments for the leads… it’s like they kinda got together in an eps n kinda broke up in the next eps… so for me they never catch a breath n watching it kinda exhausting in a way…
- SML’s plot is just so sad (boy falls for noona kind)… he fell for FL early n only let go almost at the end, which left him alone… such a stubborn unreasonable character…

Overall, this is just an ok drama for me… i like both leads, thats why i started n finished this drama… like i said, the back n forth thing annoyed me a lot, especially for 43eps drama i watched on going, so honestly I skipped some of boring n cheesy parts… IMO just watch this if u really like the leads, the plot is kinda all over the place… but it’s a HE…

Be Prepared to be annoyed!

I started to watch this because I really like the male lead but when one of the female characters (no spoilers so I won't say which one) becomes super annoying and the ML/Fl's relationship goes back and forth too many times...well, what can I say, it just all gets a bit too much.

I also think the producers have give a very bad example of how young women should behave. Not only with the obsessive, unhealthy behaviour of the character already mentioned, but also the extremely immature behaviour of one of the other female characters.

All in all, only watch this if you really, really like the main actors and you have a high tolerance for being annoyed.

I'm editing this again because I forgot to add that unless your Chinese is slightly more than basic, don't bother watching this at all. You won't understand most of what is going on because the translation into English is mostly rubbish. The female lead is referred to as "If a man" because that's what her name is (more or less) in Chinese, and there doesn't seem to be any awareness of who is a male and who is a female (total pronoun mess!)
