As Bad As People Said
This was as bad as people say, wow. I actually wanted to persevere, but then I remembered who I am, and decided I must DNF because this is not worth my time at all.
Bai Lu is fine in this drama; I don’t think it’s a crazy role to play, but she looks pretty, acts well with what she’s given, and has wonderful comedic timing in my opinion. She definitely brings in some peps to an otherwise bland show. Dylan Wang … looks good, that’s it. His acting/performance is stiff and posy, very bland and boring. Also, I wish he was dubbed because I feel like his character would benefit from a deeper voice.
The female lead’s bestie does indeed give bad advice lowkey, and from what I have seen, she seems to be a hypocrite. She dates around, but once “her” man kind of does the same, she looks sad. Girl. Please. Anyway. I actually have some other opinions about her character, but I feel like I’m perpetuating something, so I’ll just be toxic by myself.
I honestly feel like Bai Lu and Wei Zhe Ming kind of deserve their own drama, their characters’ interactions feel very natural and they have decent chemistry (better than Dylan x Bai Lu in my opinion).
The male lead’s work is boring to watch, and the female lead’s work environment is immature and unprofessional. Her senior Xu Yu Ling doesn’t just plagiarize, but outright STEALS her interview outline, and isn’t even punished. This whole plot point made no sense anyway: You think the female lead wouldn’t call the secretary to tell him that the interview would be held with someone else other than her IF she truly couldn’t make it? Instead, they just allow a random person to make a claim and call it a day. Then, Yu Ling uses her intern to have an invitation destroyed and proceeds to gaslight said intern. Just despicable. AND THEN Yu Ling and her team slut shame the female lead because unlike them Shu Yi is good at her job and actually writes articles worthy to be headlines for their finance magazine. Maybe work on your writing skills and gossip less, you untalented snakes! I guess they’ll drag that immature bully behavior until the last episode for drama purposes, but this is such bad storytelling and characterization that I don’t want to waste my time. Bye Bye!
