Perfect and Casual (2020)

If you love contract marriage or gogo squid, you will love this!

So to start of, when I am able to binge watch a drama, it truly deserves a high score from me because I am one who loves to drop dramas. This drama I finished in 48 hours, I would have done it in 24 hours if I didnt have other commitments.

It is so cuteeeee! Their chemistry is one of the best!! A shocker for FL because from what I have read she's a newbie. ML ive seen him in find yourself and although he had a supporting role there, he already capture my attention so when my bestie recommended that I watch this drama I was excited for his performance and he really didnt disappoint!

The progression from hate to love is truly lovely to watch. This is one of those dramas that will have you grinning from ear to ear. Their age gap is pretty big, like 6 years but it wasn't an issue at all. FL tends to run into trouble often which ends with ML having to step in and help her at the same time she helps him to become more human-like. The way he begin to take care of her is just the best....

*If you're like me , you might get thrown off by the teacher-student synopsis but dont worry she's actually a graduating student and he's a new prof so there really isn't much teacher-student time. Oh ya and no second male lead syndrome hehe!

SIMILARITY TO GOGO SQUID:
-cute FL
-handsome ML
-ice block ML
-age gap
_FL melts ML
_YEYE the matchmaker

This is practically gogo squid without the flashbacks so its a lighter, shorter but equally cute version.

Seriously worth a try because its so easy to watch with its 35-37 mins episodes.

Shall go back to healing my withdrawals from this drama... hope I can move on to something new soon..

I endure it

Funny story... When answering one of the questionnaires made by QnABuddy about the character has made you almost give up following a drama, at first I really have no answer, because usually it is the opposite with me, the actress/actor made me hang on to the drama that almost make me give it up. But not long after I answered this questionnaire I got my answer for this question. Yun Shu voice in here quite annoying at first for me, my apologies for her fans, I don't know is that her real voice or dub, but that voice quite bothering me. But upon good story & many said this is one good drama, I decided to keep continue watching & in the end I'm quite happy with my decision.

This is classic story about emotionless man & casual woman, really like the Chinese title, 完美先生和差不多小姐 really fits the character. Many said Miles Wei in this drama & Unforgettable Love is quite the same. But I like him here more than in Unforgettable Love, maybe because he has more chemistry with Xu Ruo Han than with Hu Yi Xuan.

Really funny to see Zhang Si Nian (SN) do calculations about his relationship with Yun Shu (YS), especially when he tries to explain to Lin Chu Chu using math.

YS is one positive woman with a lot of courage. Although she is also a woman who is too innocent until sometimes too stupid & easy to be fooled. But sometimes the world needs one sincere person to balance this messy world. That's why she is also easy to make men interested to her.

Overall this one good drama to spend your days with.

Lighthearted romcom

Life is too short for stressful drama. Why spend all that time watching and be stressed? Don’t our lives already provide enough of that?

Summary of the series:
- Light hearted rom/com; series had great flow
- cute romance
- simpatico characters
- no villains really, no long struggles, calamity or miscommunications to cause more drama and stress
- they try to add more drama 2nd to the last episode hence I gave it a lower rating. Should have extending the ending to let the viewers enjoy they happiness more/ more gratifying.
- its a good story about different types of love/couples getting together


mostly joyful, stressless series: recommended to watch for sure

If you are looking for gratuitous stress/drama, frequent miscommunications, insipid side stories, then this is not for you.

Satisfying drama

This is one of the drama I would gladly rewatch. The story is simple, no “over the top” or “unnecessarily prolonged” conflict, the leads have great chemistry, the ost are good, and it has a satisfying ending. No character is truly evil, and no character is without fault either, even the leads.
I admit I didn’t give too much thought about the side story, but the leads chemistry is enough to make me finish watching in two days.

Anyway, I’m glad I found this drama. Fell in love with Zhang Laoshi character and Miles Wei in this drama, and Xu Ruo Han also makes the perfect Yunshu. Wish they could work together again in another drama/movie.

I hope there's a second season ~~

This drama was super cute and kinda cliché–very similar to 'I Hear You'–but I did not regret watching one minute of it. For those who have seen 'I Hear You'... this might actually be better.

I love that even though the FL is clumsy, bubbly, and naive, she's driven and passionate. She works hard and the ML supports her fully without imposing the stay-at-home-wife stereotype on her that I notice in a lot of dramas. What I love the most about her, though, is the fact that her character isn't the typical shy and passive FL. Most of their saucy scenes are initiated by her, whereas the ML is on the more innocent side.

The main couple had the best chemistry and a relatively healthy relationship–considering it started off contractual. They respect each other and aren't easily broken by misunderstandings. I would definitely rank this high on my list for rewatch value. I hope there's a season two!

Perfect and Casual is just Perfect!

This drama is about a professor and student falling love and growing up and maturing throughout the episodes.

I would recommend this drama:
1) the LF and LM are genuinly perfect for each other
2) the LF is committed to what she wants but is not overbearing nor weak
3) the LM is so credible and thoughtful, and I'll be watching more dramas with him as a LM from now on.
4) there are no sinister people, no mother-in-law push to get married
5) this is a Perfect and Casual gem.
6) AND the best is that there are very few tropes in this series.

Unfortunately I watched it on YouTube with ads and in some places lack of sound. However dispite of all of that, it was worth every minute from beginning to the end.

Cute, optimistic, humanistic series

The plot is very classic: fake -Marriage, then contract (grandfather's wish and need for accommodation) between 1 cold math teacher and 1 student, who "warms" him step by step.

But this story is told through two great actors (Miles Wei & Xu Ruo Han) and their interactions, their chemistry is cute and moving. The FL shows great maturity for a 20 year old girl :) -for once-
The 2ary romances (friend & sister, which show other forms of couples and evolution) are well thought out, coherent, realistic.

The premise of the series is a bit "dramaland", but the storyline is cohesive and the pace lively enough, that there is no length.

This is the second time I watch this series, and probably not the last ;)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Le plot est très classique : fake -Marriage, puis contrat (souhait du grand père et besoin d'un logement) entre 1 professeur de maths froid et 1 étudiante, qui le "réchauffe" peu à peu.
Mais cette histoire est déclinée par deux grands acteurs (Miles Wei & Xu Ruo Han) et leurs interactions, leur alchimie sont savoureuses et émouvantes. La ML fait preuve d'une grande maturité pour une fille de 20 ans :) -pour une fois-
Les romances 2aires (amie & sœur, qui déclinent d'autres formes de couples et d'évolution) sont bien pensées, cohérentes, réalistes.

Les prémisses de la série sont un peu "dramaland", mais la storyline cohérente et le rythme assez vif, pour qu'il n'y ait aucune longueur.

C'est la seconde fois que je regarde cette série, et sans doute pas la dernière ;)

Cliche tropes but gives you a warm feeling❤️

First of all I watched this drama back in 2020 but had to drop at ep 15 or something bcoz of some personal stuff. I rem it was goood and was sad I had to drop. Anyways it is still as fresh as I watched the first time. Couple who actually communicates is a sexy concept🤣Have you ever saw a drama where the 2nd leads having a good romance with zero to no misunderstanding and wished they had a spin off? PAC is exactly like that😉the 2nd and 3rd couples having all that type of miscom thingey and Main leads having a peaceful romance was really refreshing! Now coming to the story it was the typical contract marriage but what makes it stand out is that the leads being mature and respecting each others opinion. Not the silly gonna bully u to make u realize i have a crush on u lol . Also it was really refreshing to see FL being the one to take initiatives in kissing(love020 can't relate). Sinian will be the greenest flag in cdramas. I really how he actually takes care her,apologize when its due and understands her. And not to forget how he sets boundary on the girl who loves him(cute programmer can't relate) when he said he have someone to hug I actually screameddd. Now coming to the FL who says she is immature!? she maybe childlike and innocent but her worldview is so amazing!And Ilove how they complement each other🤩). Can't rem other characters story bcoz I was too focused on main characters. So in my opinion you should def give a try!

Nice from the inside, bad from the outside

Cast, Acting, Visuals, Story are ok. Nothing too cringy and for those days when you looking for the typical weak girl, strong boy Drama.
BUTTTT!
What bugged me the most is how they put the Drama together (FOR REAL?)
The scenes were abruplty cut and didn´t blend well. I only realized then how to actually appreciate good camera and cutting work.
EVEN THE MUSIC was misplaced and DID NOT fit into the situation.
Girl is talkin bout some serious stuff and you play some type of happy music in the background one would play during winning some card game LOL?? AINT IT.
You cannot say it´s only me who noticed that....

NEVERTHELESS it is by far not the worse Drama, it is quite watchable and cute.
But nothing special, if my Friends would ask me for recommendations, I´d definitely forget this one.

If you are thinking of watching this, read this review

If you are thinking of watching this drama. I really recommend you too. Honesly, I watched two episodes and then i dropped thinking it wasn’t for me. Then I thought of giving it a other chance and i’m so glad that i did. A lot of people are saying the main female lead is very cringe and i disagree. As someone me who has seen a handful of chinese dramas, i don’t think the female lead character is cringe. I wont lie and say they are moments when second hand embarrassment hits you but they aren’t has bad that i seen from other dramas. I would say this female lead character is one of my favorites female leas character from cdramas. The chemistry between the male lead and female is very good as well. Please give it try.

much better than i thought!

just like what all the reviews are saying this is definitely a perfect and casual drama. i really thought the main lead was gonna be cold hearted mean typa guy but he was honestly so sweet and nice, the only flaw he had was the he was too nit picky but that doesn't really happen a lot in the drama. this drama was really simple but gave me a lot of second hand embarrassment haha. i could definitely feel their chemistry which is why i think it was even better. and despite that this drama was really simple there was a lot of kiss scenes which i was NOT expecting and the girl was the one who made the move first and i LOVE ITT. also i love the fact that there was no love triangle i mean there was a bit in the beginning but he was really cool about it and they didn't really have any conflicts in here, i felt like yun lan and lu yu had more conflicts than sinian and yun shu lol.

definitely would recommend to watch and i will probably watch it again the future!! also i finished it within 2 days XD
