Fishing Rules (2025)

Horrible ML, doormat FL with lacklustre romance

I watched this drama as part of my assignment on Cheng Cheng and his collection of dramas for subreddit CShortDramas. I have to admit that this is one of my least favourite Cheng Cheng dramas.

What I liked:
1. Visuals - Cheng Cheng was shirtless in two scenes if I am not mistaken. He played a bad boy, a very handsome one.
2. Styling - I loved his styling for this drama. Cheng Cheng was smoking hot when wearing biker outfit. In fact he won the poll for best looking male lead in biker outfit on subreddit CShortDramas. I also loved FL's pink dress that she wore for this drama poster.
3. Shots - The scenes of them riding a motorbike were beautifully shot.
4. Kisses - Hot, passionate kisses.

What I disliked:
1. ML characterisation - He was bloody rude & possessive. Never apologised to FL for his abhorrent behaviour.
2. FL characterisation - She seemed like a doormat. I don't understand the appeal of being with someone who is rude and horrible to you. I think she is the type who believes she can change him. Girl needed to understand and value her own worth.
3. Plot - Quite dull that I fell asleep and felt the story didn't progress much. No need to rewind.
4. Romance - Albeit the passionate kisses, the romance element was lacklustre. I didn't buy their romance at all.

Eu gosto muito do Cheng Cheng, mas algumas atuações e dramas que ele faz são péssimos, e este é um deles. Seu figurino também era uma mistura de canalha CEO, com rebelde e na fase adolescente não se encaixava.
Essa adaptação é terrível, e eu gosto MUITO da versão "Just Out of Reach". Aqui é tudo mais denso, ambíguo o relacionamento entre os pais, a história da mãe, o contexto como um todo ficou bem ruim.

Não conhecia a Chen Shu Yi, ou simplesmente não a reconheci, mas definitivamente eu não gostei da sua personagem, apesar dela ter uma postura mais direta e provocativa aqui.
