Professional Single is the first C-Drama that I have watched and I must say that it was quite good. It had a few pacing issues regarding the plot. A few things could've been shorter such as the secondary plots as well as sealing the actual deal between Yuan Qian and Qin Shen quicker, which would've allowed more room to explore the parents of both characters disagreeing with their children on their choices. but this is a small piece of criticism that doesn’t take away from the overall show. Quin Shen and Yuan Qian are strong leads and have a strong bonding relationship throughout. You truly feel that they care for each other despite their stubbornness in admitting it. In fact, both being so stubborn actually reinforces that. Quin Shen is quite cold, but when it comes to Yuan Qian, his smile and eyes light up with emotion. He knows how to be humorous as well instead of just being a land cold character. Even when he’s being serious during a comedic situation. Yuan Qian is a positive influence on him, ringing him out of that shell and completing him as a character. Seeing how their relationship blossoms from an initial indifference to each other to a sweet, loing relationship was an engaging experience. Ling Wei was a character that got annoying at times due to her persistence but she was a fine character, still. And given the age of the characters, you can sorta understand the mentality of someone that age - . the unrelenting pursuit of someone who clearly doesn’t want to know. Song Si Yi was less possessive and actually had a sweet relationship with Yuan Qian himself. He was smart, kind and talented. A good second male lead. The supporting cast was all good whether it was supporting the main characters or shining during their own comedic scenes. Chen Qi Nan and Xin Xin left strong impressions on me, most definitely.
