Warm Meet You (2022)

all cliches served in a plate but didn't taste bad

This drama series is surely like all clinches put together and served to the audience but it wasn't bad. Basically there is nothing called story it's like a simple rom com in which a girl meets a guy, fights with him initially then work under him then they fall in love then the anti-fl comes messes up everything and goes away in the last ep. Nothing new.
But this one was cute and funny it didn't get boring despite being super predictable.
The chemistry between the leads was good and the stories 2nd and 3rd leads were also intresting . The characters of ml and fl were pretty much like any other dramas of the same type but here the ml wasn't imported from Antarctica.
Overall there is not much to say abt this one. At the end i can only say that you can watch this one only for some cute,fluffy and funny moments and this one should not be taken seriously basically don't expect much.
U may watch it as a filler or maybe when u don't have anything better to watch.
If it's not exceptional then it is not awful either.

This is absolute apex cliche.

How can I describe this drama..... it's like somebody saying "I will make you authentic italian spaghetti," and then serving you plain boiled spaghetti noodles with a can of extremely cheap marinara uncerimoniously dumped on top of it.

Things you will see:
>Distracting and fake-as-shit-looking milk moustaches. Yes, more than one.
>FL is aspiring artist, CEO ML gives her a job next to his office.
>Got dayum that 3ML lookin genetically recessive.
>Trying on outfits with the CEO ML sitting on a couch pooh-poohing all the outfits until..... he sees the STUNNER DRESS..... you know the one. The one that looks like a 20-dollar little mermaid knockoff princess dress. "Oh, I couldn't get my zipper zipped all the way up by myself...."
>The shoddy wire gazebo strung with christmas lights, which the FL was tricked into wandering into, when suddenly OUT OF NOWHERE the ML appears in a suit with a giant bouquet of flowers, gives her his confession and a piece of jewelry. Bet you didn't see that coming.
>Backlit errythang!
>The kind of kissing you'd see from two people if, say for instance, they were complete strangers thrown together by a shitty script and standing under a glaring light, surrounded by camera crews.

It goes on and on like this, you get the idea. It's dull, flat, insulting to your intelligence, unoriginal to such an extent that you could call it noteworthy. I would not watch this unless I was having a PTSD attack or someone had just died, and I just needed something "on".

Started out average only to get worse

The writer hinted at for a few episodes and then eventually brought in the clingy, super obsessed, pathetic, delusional, third wheel who was never in a relationship but chased after ML who had zero interest in her. In my opinion it killed the fluffy romcom vibe that this drama had going with it and tried to make it suddenly into a cut throat business drama with super low lead-in on that.

There were a few moments spread throughout the first 20 episodes that kind of hinted there would be a big sabotage moment for the company that ML owned but honestly it just took over the entire narrative and became the focal point and the reason behind the ML and FL breaking up, which went from cuddly "let's never break up" to crying hysterically while misunderstanding everything in one 24 hour period. FLs misunderstandings didn't even feel like the writer remembered the character he created, it felt very out of left field for her to react like that.

With only 4 episodes left you after the big drama in the company happens you don't even have to watch it to know how it will play out. First everything falls apart, then ML or FL will solve the crisis, then they overtake the villain and trap them in their own evil doing, then company is saved, main couple get back together, side couples reconcile and get together, parental relationship is mended due to an illness, weakness. or something and then happy ever after. Probably. End of the drama. Roll credits.

The problem is not that it's super predictable at this point, because some very predictable dramas are still entertaining, the problem is that there is a severe lack of fire and passion in the kisses between literally every single couple. I could say it was an actors problem if it was one or two actors, but this has 3 couples and ALL their kisses are statue kisses...this is a director making a bad decision problem.

Someone must have mentioned it to Chu De Jian. the director, in the last year or so, because I've seen 6 out of the 7 things he's done up until 2022 and only the very last one that he directed (that was released in 2023) had really good kisses, every single drama before that was statue kisses that barely registered as romance.

Love

A beautiful ,sweet and lovely love story . A good thing about story that it didn't have much conspiracy . The one thing irritated me so much the assistant attitude towards her love . I understood that his mother abondon him and because of him he never make any type of relationship because he feared that one day his loves one left him but still he should trust his love once .
Rest was good . My favourite scene of the drama when he pick her by one hand and kissed her. WOW so romantic.
I think who likes love story must watch otherwise the story was not that great because such type of story is common in many chinese and Korean drama when a boy loose his trust towards his love ones ,he starts having allergy issues.

Cheesy and bad acting Romcom

The production quality of this drama is okay, better than Tencent.

For this drama, the storyline is okay, and the female lead's acting was not bad. I wish I could say the same thing about the male lead. The intimate scenes between the three CP were not good, and the kissing felt forced and unnatural. Maybe because of censorship issue, all kissing scenes in Chinese dramas were quite bad, except for some good, favorable, and : .well known actors and actresses

The whole thing is so cheesy and stupid, but I will finish it because I think the ensemble is much better than "Fairy from the Painting." I am giving it a 4.5 rating.

Cliche

The plot itself is very cliche but I watched solely because I found the leads nice to watch but last 2-4 episodes were very frustrating to watch.

The game company x artist was a nice plot to watch but with the female character being insanely stupid when it came to romance was annoying to see; one mention of a name and all logic goes out the window.

The female support character was the only consistent character but even her part is very lacklustre.

The male lead, while gorgeous, lacks heavily in the emotion department. Even with kisses, it reminded me of kdrama kisses when one person has their eyes open lol.

Late introduction of an antagonist was insanely annoying when said antagonist disrupted the storyline with minimal effort.

Side note: what irks me with this drama is how 2 female characters are written as “I dont care about anything else but I like you and I dont care about your opinion”

Totally loaded romantic comedy... Manga or Anime style.

Lots of inconsistencies, rarely seen at this point (the FL mopping the sidewalk while it's raining (◍´͈ꈊ`͈◍).

⊕ But, fortunately, there is Li Ge Yang as ML, adorable with his young Song Joon Ki side (•ө•)♡
⊝ In addition, it is full of clichés (ML with trauma and allergy to contact with women, accidental encounters, excessively dominating father and stepmother, ...) and an acting very very overplayed!! I don't question the actors' talent, the producer asked them to play like that, but this bias to accentuate the humor does not allow us to adhere to the characters.
- The production is very "Manga": with cute sound effects, visual overlays, protagonist who evokes their thoughts and feelings out loud, facial expressions, etc.
⊕ The actors are young, handsome (one might even wonder if this series does not aim to highlight the young generation of handsome actors) and talented.
- The OSTs are “cute”.
⊝ The story, apart from the clichés, is very classic/codified: bad start in the CL, contractual relationship which becomes real, obsessive ex who creates issues, break-up, reconciliation and "the good guys win the battle against the bad guys", Happy Ending. We can add the other 2 CL which showcase other types (all equally classic) of romance.
⊝ Final problem resolution is too hasty.

=> Series which is not of great interest, except for fans of Li Ge Yang

******************************************************************
Comédie romantique totalement pipée ... style Manga ou Anime.

Beaucoup d'incohérences, rarement vu à ce point-là (la FL éponge le trottoir alors qu'il pleut (◍´͈ꈊ`͈◍).

⊕ Mais, heureusement, il y a Li Ge Yang en ML, craquant avec son côté Song Joon Ki jeune (•ө•)♡
⊝ De plus, c'est bourré de clichés (ML avec trauma et allergie au contact des femmes, rencontres accidentelles, père dominateur excessif et belle-mère, ...) et très très surjoué !! Je ne remets pas en cause le talent des acteurs, on leur a demandé de jouer comme ça, mais ce parti pris pour accentuer l'humour, ne permet pas d'adhérer aux personnages.

- La réalisation est très "Manga" : avec bruitages mignons, incrustations visuelles, protagoniste qui évoque ses pensées et sentiments à haute voix, mimiques, etc.
⊕ Les acteurs sont jeunes, beaux (on peut même se demande si cette série ne vise pas à mettre en lumière la jeune génération d'acteurs handsome) et talentueux.
- Les OST sont "mignonnes".
⊝ La story, hormis les clichés, est très classique / codifiée : mauvais départ dans le CL, relation contractuelle qui devient réelle, ex obsessive qui vient poser problème, break-up, réconciliation et "les gentils gagnent la bataille contre les méchants", HE. On peut y ajouter les 2 autres CL qui exposent d'autres cas (tous aussi classiques) de romance.
⊝ La résolution finale des problèmes est trop hâtive.

=> Série qui ne présente pas un grand intérêt, sauf pour les fans de Li Ge Yang

Whimsy and Romance Meet in a Youthful Rom-Com: Quirks, Quality, and Cold Pockets....

The story, evidently aimed at a younger audience, weaves together whimsy and romance around Zhao Nuan Nuan, a comic artist whose fortunes improve after meeting Gu Yi Chen. The acting was not too bad. I guess that they can only do so much, and more should have been done on the production/direction end.
The plot is a standard, well-trodden romantic comedy, including a love triangle, which likely appeals to its intended younger, female audience. What is it with the men walking with their hands in their pockets, as if on a catwalk? Perhaps it's just a bit chilly on set.
