Mediocre but worth watching

One of the dramas i watched while writing my thesis. It is very bland and honestly misses a lot of the points i wanted it to cover. When i first discovered this i thought it was more of a “powerful I.T. Girl breaking the social norms” in a way. However the actual story is not at all related. The main character wei wei, is definitely an intelligent girl however I don’t think that it was presented well enough in the drama. Although she has excellent grades as well as infinite scholarships but other than the obvious nothing else really points to her being smart. During her internship in the ML’s company she barely did any work, she just took care of them gave them sleeping space etc. There’s no drama in the story almost at all. Some were started but always shut down by xiao nai as soon as it happens which makes it boring. I gave the drama a rewatch value of 10/10 just because i think its great to listen do while doing things. It’s boring enough top not make you focus on it but also good enough to make you not really want to leave your seat therefore i watched it while writing my essay.

The acting... I don’t know what to say, in some part it was brilliant but some it just felt so fake. I thing both the ML and FL are great actors (especially Zheng shuang) as i have seen their other shows. Maybe they were just too shy on set. However i do know that the FL was and probably still is suffering from a eating disorder so it must’ve affected her performance.

I like the show quite a lot but i feel like a lot of people will dislike it. I believe it is worth it to at least give is a fighting chance. I have also read the book which i highly recommend if you understand Chinese (not sure if they’ve translated it yet)
