The drama is not good

The 10 Reasons Why The Early Spring is an ordinary, unrealistic, baseless, and one-dimensional drama! This is based on various Chinese entertainment videos that I watched in the U. S. that discussed about the current C-ent dramas, etc. This is not saying anything about the actor or actress real real life, their real issues, etc. Although I do not find Jing Bo Ran as good looking, charming and/or better acting than Xu Kai Cheng in Well-Intended Love I and II. This article is about the drama itself and my perspectives about Jing Bo Ran and Sun Qian's role as Luke and Flora and what I think of their acting performance. I think Sun Qian is better looking, better acting, etc. As a 45 years old Asian female who is currently living in the U. S. since 1990s, I have watched Chinese-speaking dramas from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and China since 1990s and have seen this evolvement into baseless, unrealistic, mediocre web drama about work place and mixing romantic issues for certain niche market.

I don't get paid or anything to write this article. This is from my authentic personal opinions after watching various C-ent videos in English discussing about the drama, clips on weibo mobile app to see what the romance and acting are about, the sypnosis, etc.

I believe that there are many people who are looking for dramas to watch all over the world so they're checking it out so people are attracted to light dramas, etc.

1) This is written from a web novel so the same repackaging and by screenwriters who are interested in commercializing the drama without any sense of the real world. Same old thing about CEO lacking EQ toward the female so it's one dimensional. Why do 45 years old women are interested in this about boss when his social issue is about toward love, which is personal subjective opinions. I believe 45 years old women who are working would be more interesting in office issues. Lacking social issues toward an individual that Luke likes does not mean that he lacks social skill. How can someone lack social skill can run an advertising firm?

2) This drama is about the advertising industry, which is an industry in decline. Luke, the character played by Jing Bo Ran wears clothing as if the company rakes in a lot of money like an investment banker or high-end law firm. It would be more realistic if this office setting take place in a marketing firm of a larger company. Even in the U. S., the advertising industry is in decline. Companies have internal marketing department nowadays more.

3) As for Luke's EQ of helping Flora getting better paid, overtime, etc. The adverting industry is not a blue-collar industry. It's a professional services industry so overtime is not something that the ad industry would offer, which is in major cities, etc. This is why all kinds of web writer and screenwriters are working within their exclusive groups who know no real world, thinking they can replicate the same formula, etc. without any reality, human relationship issues, etc. Also, the ad industry is not a sales and commission job unless the job is a sales job so a person would have to wait until the end of the year to get a bonus if there are revenues. Also, the manager would have to see visibility for next year's revenue to give some bonus at the end of the year. If Flora or any employee is on a trial for work, then after 6 months, it can be reevaluated for compensation, etc. Or otherwise, entry-level jobs generally starts out the same fixed salary with potential bonus at the end of the year for the industry. Flora is his girlfriend and he is her boss so there is potential conflicts of interests. Also, if you're paying someone more, then what other people who also put in the work and want better pay.

4. I believe this kind of drama is bad for young women because why would someone hire you and then say you're not qualified to work there. If you watch The Devil Wears Prada, the editor is also tough so it's best not to over exaggerate these kinds of words. How many of you in these regular admin jobs are actually the best and brightest?

5) From Chasing Dramas

Also, Youku marketed the sypnosis of this drama on MDL and on Youku's platform is not the same. On Youku's sypnosis started with "The forbidden love..." There's nothing forbidden love about this.

6) If people are saying they're working hard, how come people have time to watch these dramas on a daily basis when the episodes are released. I also noticed that many women who are watching this are in comfortable admin job with their laptops with the couple on their screenshot. If you're complaining about your fat and/or low EQ bosses, then how come you still have time to watch this drama, which should not be your priority? In Japan, employees would wait for their managers to go home and then go home, which is a horrible culture that I do not believe China has. Also, there are woman in China making more than 2M Yuan!

7) This is not a good drama for young men to watch because it's not realistic, one-dimensional, etc. when it comes to how to help women with their pay, etc. It's popular in less developed and/or traditional countries like China, all parts of Asia and some parts of Europe but not the U. S. or western democratic Europe. If you want to watch for some light romantic parts when they're in private, then it's fine. I already watched some of them on weibo mobile apps, then watch for that only. There are scenes like Flora helping with his shaving, etc., which is something you already know. The kisses are not any better than Ten Years Late, Got a Crush on You or other dramas from other actors or actresses, etc.

8) I believe Youku belonged to Alibaba and is much a bigger company than 10 years ago, etc. so the people who work on these dramas are the same web writers, screenwriters, producers, etc. so they can also subscribe on Netflix, then Netflix would pay them a nice licensing fee, but Netflix is only 2.4M views because they cannot make other people who is not getting paid in any form or shape to watch a drama. Other people are looking for a drama to watch so they look at dramas all over the world, and the number of views is an easy metric to go by. The same with Tencent too. The same issue with bs writer unions that cannot produce a decent screenplay!

9) As for fashion, trying to do a v-shape, the actor is not as attractive, and he's not that big so having wearing overfit clothing is kind of out of shape, etc. I am sure men would not wear tight clothing, but wearing overfit clothing can look cumbersome when you have to work around to do business, etc. Also, the industry is not doing well even the in the U. S. so how come he's wearing clothing as a high-end investment banker so then, how come he would have money to pay his employees if he's wearing really expensive clothing!

10) This article has nothing about the actors' lives, etc. and about their roles in The Early Spring and their acting abilities based on my authentic subjective perspectives.
