QAS

I loved Gao Qi Qiang's wardrobe.

He looked buffed and manly in Taste of Love. It might have been his modern clothes. His buzzcut hair cut also helped. I could see him playing a police detective.

I did not like Deng Kai in Blood of Youth, but I liked him in Taste of Love. 🥰 I am looking for his other works.

There were charming elements about the main couple and their relationship. The writers could have kept them, smart and resourceful. I liked watching them, and the second couple. Just some of the situations were inane.

Final comment: Mission accomplished, I finished the drama. I am glad it finally ended with Gao QiQiang found guilty of his three dozen crimes. Very good production values! The drama length could have been thirty episodes. Some subplots dragged on.

The drama wardrobe supervisor did a great job dressing all the actors/characters. Gao Qi Qiang wore expensive designer men's fashions. Aa a female, I would wear his clothes. His fashions looked unisex. His right-hand men, Tang Brothers also dressed very well. Shuting was the prettiest woman, and she dressed elegantly and fashionably. Everyone had good hairstyles except An Xin and Guo Shan Feng. I don't understand An Xin's charcoal grey mop top. The color is not a natural grey, and usually comes out of a bottle. An Xin never went to the barber to cut his hair. It looked like he was bald, and wore a bad cheap wig.

Final rating 8 out of 10.

I watched it for the ML and FL actors.

The ending could have been a lot better. The wedding was at the ML's house. Even though it is a beautiful house, the couple could have afforded a wedding hall. Tong's mother was rich. Before the wedding, the ML got stupid in love. Those stupid attempts to propose to her were unnecessary filler. Tang Su pushing into the pool was dumb. The violence was unnecessary.

She started out, competent. Once she regained her Idol career, she lost some sense.

This is the third drama I watched with Wu Gang, and Knockout is the first drama that I really liked him.

Gao Qi Qiang is the perfect Godfather, ruthless and beneficient.

I am guessing that the country bumpkin is An Xin. I find his mannerisms around Men Yu to be immature, and annoying. He seems to have a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Even as a cop, he wavers.

I started the bingewatch two days ago, and am at episode 20. This crime melodrama should have been shorter... thirty episodes max. This is turning into a A Dull Day in the Life of Gao Qi Qiang. The only things Gao has going for himself are smart hairstyles and impeccable wardrobe as the successful businessman with the pretty wife.

An Xin is an iffy character. He looks like a thin reed that will bend in the wind. His righteous/good samaritan cop act gets boring. I cringe when he acts like a silly teenager with Meng Yu. Is he supposed to be a 18 years-old rookie cop? Actor is in his 40s, and An Xin looks to be in his mid 30s. I like Zhang Yi, but this is my third time watching him play a cop, and his three cop characters seem like clones. He needs to step away from the police genre, and play another career professional.

Random silly writing and draggy parts in the drama! So glad it is over!

I watched eleven episodes, starting at 10PM last night.

She is spineless. She won't last long in showbiz.

The ML and FL are an ideal pair... walking into traps. They are smart and gullible. Tong Yi Wu acts like a teenager... another smart and gullible character. Only Chi Ye seems smart 24/7.

FL actress looks middle-aged in the poster, with the old fashioned hairstyle and wool sweater.

Perhaps she offered to cook the meals for the owner in exchange for the weight loss program. He ate well. 😆😆😆

I guess celebrity weight loss clinics work miracles for a price...although Tang Su didn't have much money to pay her way. The owner gained all the weight that the clients lost. He must eat all the food at the clinic, while they starve. LOL

The drama earns 1 pt for airing in two weeks only and for the shorter episodes. If the episode was 40 minutes long, it would be packed with filler and flashback to make up the extra ten minutes. There is already some drag to reach the end of the line. The jealous, controlling boyfriend boss was getting boring,

Funny that the son (Jue) and mother (Mrs Huangfu) look about ten years apart. LOL
