The Height Difference Champions League

Watching Professional Single is a guilty pleasure for people like me with a "height difference kink". I wish I could say extremely tall men like to date extra short women, but I'm afraid it's the other way around. Females have a thing for tall males, they stand out in the crowd, like a billboard for power and protection.

Enter Ireine Song and Aaron Deng and you're basically watching The Height Difference Champions League. They are beautiful, natural actors. It's a pleasure to watch those two in action, both in comedy and romance scenes.

Story
The focus on first love is both the strength and weakness of this series. Forget family drama, crimes, misdemeanors or other story arcs. The many clichés can also be annoying. I felt some irritation when I watched the heroine stumbling for the nth time into the arms of her lover. Why oh why can't it be him doing the stumbling for a change?

Acting/Cast
The entire cast is good. They are the same age as students in real life, and their acting is on point.

Rewatch Value
Like I said, the story isn't very original, but it has a nice flow in story telling. The Darcy and Elizabeth trope is strong in this one. I also laughed out loud sometimes, so I will definitely rewatch this series.

Overall
If you are a sucker for old fashioned romcom and campus life, this is for you. There are plenty of times to think, but also times to feel. This is one of those moments. Enjoy.
