Boring drama

I had high expectations regarding this drama cause I generally like this type of genres but I'm highly disappointed with how this drama turned out. So I dropped it after the first 11 ep.

The things I disliked the most in this drama are:

1. Lack of chemistry between the leads. Their chemistry didn't felt natural at all and sometimes I even forgot that they were supposed to be the leads due to the lack of scenes between them. Tbh the FM had better chemistry with the villain.

2. The story is unreasonable from the beginning and sometimes I don't even understood why they showed certain scenes in the first place. Now why I called it unreasonable?? Because the drama was talking about one of the most important topic that is death and I know the drama was supposed to be a light hearted one but sometimes the FL's attitude regarding that topic felt really unrealistic. If you don't know when you are going to die then that's a different thing but she knew how much time was left with her and it was fine that she accepted it and was trying to live her life in a positive way but her acting felt like death is nothing serious but a regular thing in life. Another thing was when the granny offered her money to give company to the ML, I mean she was going to die but instead of spending time with your friends and family she just agreed to it, why?? She wasn't poor but still agreed to give company to a man whom she hated and had to live with him in the same house.

3. Very fast paced and the writers don't even give you time to process what is happening and the direction isn't focused. That's why one time it's showing something and the next minute another thing so when it again came back to the first topic you'll find your clueless with what was exactly happening.

4. The villain was predictable from the beginning and the story wasn't interesting. I don't remember any memorable scene actually.

5. It was supposed to be a drama with mystery but I found none. It was way too straight forward for my liking.

6. I can't exactly define the ML's character cause I felt like the writers didn't do it enough justice. It felt flat from the beginning. And for the FL it felt annoying. She didn't acted like her age at all.

7. Don't get me started with their "supposed" romantic moments and first kiss. The FL sudden urge to date someone before dying and practically forcing the ML to accept her made me more annoyed with her character. I don't even know from when she even started liking him?? Cause all of their scenes didn't exactly felt romantic but two friends hanging out or idk if I can even describe them as friends. But romantic?? Nah. Playing a romantic track in the background while slowing down their scene doesn't always make it romantic. And their bickering felt like an old man giving lessons to a young woman.

The things which I liked :

1. A more matured and reasonable bestie of the FL.

2. The little childish fights between the supporting characters especially the scenes between Qian Tu and Qian Cheng and Qian Cheng and William which honestly kept me going. Otherwise nothing particular which I can remember.

I kept watching till ep 11 hoping to find something interesting but after watching the leads first kiss I dropped it.

The opening OST is the only one which I liked but nothing too special.

Parts with a green screen looked awful.

Give it a try if you are okay with all the things I've mentioned above.
