Failed Rom-Com fluffy summer drama

Zhang Han is the writer , producer and the main lead but he failed miserably at least at writing this drama
The drama promoted itself as Four Gentlemen and their growth in life ,,, where is exactly the growth in this ?
The four dudes are all grown up supposedly in their forties living their best lives ,, they have good jobs living with each other in the same High rise compound witch is a billion dollar unit or so .. very high tech ,, smart house and so on
they don't have wives nor girlfriends ,, they are bachelors playing around but the male lead has a kid from somewhere ,, they didn't mention ,, the kid's mother ever or even tell her story or if she's dead or alive and they stated he didn't get married
so the story is super Cliché with extra superficial approach on dating women
and the women in the story are very obnoxious ,,, the male lead's love interest is his boss ,, she bosses him around and he's a jerk to her and that's how their love suddenly happen ... there is no gentlemen attitude at all in this
the other three friends love interest are as useless as the female lead
the most irritating one is the businesswoman who asked one of the fourth guys to marry her and she made him sign alot of contracts to be her boy toy and he agreed ,,, this was the most horrible thing ever and his friends told him to go for it
really??!!! they didn't advice him against loveless marriage and they were okey about their bestfriend marrying for money
Isn't there one mature grown up of those four dudes ?? I struggled to make excuses for this drama as I love Zhang Han as an actor but he's a horrible writer may be good producer ,, the production quality is very good but the plot is flat out painful to watch
The only positive thing about the whole drama is the male friendship between the four guys nothing more
Don't waste your time watching this ridiculous drama but if you really like light fluffy drama to pass time then go for it
