Perfect Partner (2020)

Ep 1-28 Goodness gracious. Our female lead is naive/gullible, to the 1st degree. I don’t mean the cute and charming kind, I mean the common sense kind. Sorry, not sorry. I just watched 28 episodes of PR stuff with a lead who seems to lack any business sense. I mean she seemed to lack the business sense of a common person ???‍♀️. The comment while viewing were flooded with ?‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️?‍♀️ and why whenever she did something.

No real chemistry between the leads yet but I’m hopeful. I will also say that it’s listed as a romantic comedy but I’m not getting the romantic comedy vibe, it’s more business and scheming. Theme song gives off an upbeat, intense vibe but it doesn’t accurately depict the mood. The series itself is somewhat slow.
Ep 28-end- pace picked up. It was a little more engaging but still confusing. Half the time I had no idea what they were talking about. This is a first for me. Absolutely clueless about events, plots and etc.
I enjoyed our female assistant/investigator. She’s quick, smart and entertaining. Our male lead is smart and quick which keeps you entertained.

typical drama on corruption & justice

I'm surprised there's only one other review...there are so many comments. So I just decided to post a review.
What a dramatic piece. I did find it at times unreasonable that things would work out like this (I don't believe that a PR company to tell their own clients to own up to their mistakes, pay more money, and still maintain relationships...there are good people in this world but its just unreasonable, with the reality of shareholders and financial pressure for everyone, to cave in). I am curious if PR companies really do their own deep investigations to find the truth...sometimes I felt like it was a PI company instead. But if things really work like this in the real world, I've really learned a lot of about the PR world from this drama.
Now on the actors: I think acting was good enough for the most part..but I think there could've been a better pick for the FL. This might've been just a habit of Tong LinYa, but her eyes...are just too big/piercing all the time. I can't help but feel that its awkward. For the first half of the show, I was wondering if her eyes could even close. Not every expression can be achieved by enlarging eyes. I still see this habit of hers in The Centimeter of Love, which I've been watching since it released, but its not as bad, or her character has more reactions where enlarging her eyes make sense. Her image might match the character, but I've only ever seen her have three expressions: crying, being awkward (which can be achieved by enlarging eyes), and some other expression she is attempting to do with enlarging her eyes.
Sorry I talked about it so much, but after sitting through 50 episodes, its all I can think about.

Other than that, this drama was pretty standard. If you have a few days to burn, you won't regret it (the ending is satisfactory enough)
