Fun minidrama with strong female lead & comical male lead
Found this minidrama from Fresh Drama Youtube channel so decided to watch it after briefly reading reviews on MDL.
What I liked:
1) Female lead characterisation - I like that Wen Lan's smart & capable. Fan Luo Qi played the role well and she looked beautiful too.
2) The plot - It's centred on Wen Lan's personal and professional life and there is a great balance and execution of this short minidrama. She suffered from amnesia but this trope wasn't dragged (thank gawd). The last five episodes were fun to watch.
3) Visuals - I must say Ma Chen Xi, who played second male lead Shi Cu, is more handsome than the actor who played male lead Xu Kai Xin. The actor who played rival Shi Xun is handsome too.
What I disliked:
1) Mu Bai characterisation - I dislike that he's vain and kept checking out himself. I understand the moments were done to bring out humour but they didn't build the case for audience to root for him in his pursuit of Wen Lan.
2) The romance - Sadly lacklustre and too focused on comic relief. I get it that he realised his mistakes and mistreatment of his wife. However I felt that there was no clear distinction between his guilt for his wrongdoings and his love for Wen Lan. Despite that, the lessons on wooing Wen Lan were hilarious and I do love the wedding scene.
Favourite scene
Episode 3 was so hilarious especially when Wen Lan was drunk. ROFL.
