A outdated and very melodramatic series, barely bearable despite Peter Ho

PLOT:
8 years after meeting during a quarantine, the ML, a PR CEO in the middle of a divorce, finds FL, a single (adoptive) mother, abandoned by her boyfriend. They will support each other, face obstacles,... and end up falling in love.

PROS:
+ 1 excellent lead, Peter HO, who bursts into the screen and even manages to have good chemistry with Janice Chang (whose talent I don't question, but her character is unbearable).

BUT all the flaws of "old fashion" TW dramas:
- terribly melodramatic, dramaland story, with ALL the clichés, poorly done.
- lots of overplayed / useless characters
- repetitive music that ends up being annoying
- ESPECIALLY, the FL's character is frustrating: the simple girl, with a heart of gold, "innocent",... NO, her character is pathetically stupid (she give her localisation at an anonymous phone call) !

=> Watched the first 4-5 episodes with pleasure, then stopped out of exasperation.

PLOT:
8 ans après s'être rencontré pendant une 40aine, un CEO de RP en plein divorce, retrouve la FL, mère (adoptive) célibataire, abandonnée par son boyfriend. Ils vont s'épauler, faire face aux obstacles,... et finir par tomber amoureux.

PROS:
+ 1 excellent lead, Peter HO, qui crève l'écran et arrive même à avoir une une bonne alchimie avec Janice Chang (dont je ne remets pas le talent en cause, mais son personnage est insupportable).

MAIS tous les flaws des TW dramas "old fashion" :
- story terriblement mélo, dramaland, avec TOUS les clichés, mal amenés.
- beaucoup de personnages surjoués
- musique répétitive qui finit par être agaçante
- SURTOUT, le personnage de la FL est frustrant : la fille simple, au coeur d'or, "innocente",... NON, son personnage est d'une stupidité à pleurer !

=> Regardé avec plaisir les 4-5 premiers épisodes, puis en pointillés par exaspération.
