Gorgeous ML + Cute FL + romcom cliches = average but cute youth drama
Likes: I could stare at Aaron Deng all day...broad shoulders, long lashes, tall and handsome...yes, please.Dislikes: But his acting needs major work. He's a rookie so I give some leeway, but man, is he awkward and stiff. Also, is it me, or did the neck herding look a bit rough and unromantic?
This is a light hearted average college drama with a bright tone that was really easy to watch because there were no useless side stories or characters that no one cares about. The side BFFs are actually funny and enjoyable to watch and always revolve around the central leads so I really liked how I didn't have to skip through any scenes to get back to the OTP. The FL is tiny and adorable and I thought she acted pretty well. The ML as I said is gorgeous, but I found his acting so forced and awkward. He would give a stiff smile at the strangest times. It was really puzzling and I kept wondering why the director didn't help coach him in a better direction, but he did manage to pull off the chemistry with the FL which is the only reason why I continued until the end. When they did get together though, I soon found the story got boring and a bit draggy.
Overall I found it a light, bright, easy watch, but if you can't stomach the rookie acting, then it might not be for you.

I'm kind of in the minority here, but I didn't much care for this series and thought that Aaron Deng was stiff as a board with his acting. I also had a bit of issue with how brusque and rough Qin Shen acted towards Yuan Qian all the time. And that whole jealous boyfriend act was probably intended to be cute and comedic, but it actually made me annoyed and uncomfortable. Instead of seeming like a protective boyfriend, Qin Shen came off a bit controlling--it bothered me that Yuan Qian and her roommate friends seemed okay with it just because Qin Shen is good looking, and because Yuan Qian likes him. I feel like it gives out a bad message that it's okay to let your boyfriend push and pull you around, and be forceful with you, as well as dictate who you're allowed to be friends with, when in reality, it's a big red flag.On the flip side, I also got annoyed with Yuan Qian's overreaction to wanting to keep her relationship with Qin Shen a secret when they first started dating. It was highly unnecessary, and unfair to Qin Shen.
I DO give props to the guy who portrayed Song Si Yi--he was really natural and likable. There were moments when the character got annoying, but it was hard to completely hate him. I'm also extremely happy that he pretty much backed off of Yuan Qian peacefully when he finds out that she and Qin Shen are a couple.

Problematic ML...?
Looking for something light with few ep I decided to watch this drama. This drama quite enjoyable but with quite big problematic character u can say... ^_^.I really split between want to give this drama high score or not. Because actually i really enjoy this drama. This drama funny, enjoyable, typical school romance drama. But like bips99 wrote in her/his review. The ML himself really have problematic behaviour.
Qin Shen (QS) as a man is maybe one the most problematic ML in the drama world that everybody ok with it. He's one of the most jealous man, he like to tease his girl just to see her reaction, he control almost everything about Yuan Qian (YQ). No single trust he put in her for almost all the drama. He though when he tease her, after YQ just talking to Song Si Yi (SY), is something funny... No it's not supposed to be OK.
Ling Wei is also one of the most stupid girl. QS definitely not like her, you can said even QS can't stand in one room with her, but she still trying to get closer to him. And what is the problem between them until QS can't stand in a room with her never been explained here.
Btw the more I think the more I feel all the man here really like to tease the girl they like. Like SY also really like to tease YQ & Chen Qi Nan like to tease Luo Xin Xin. It's like the writer only observe the little boy who like to pull the hair of the girl they like.
Overall this actually a good & enjoyable drama
if only without the big problem that our ML have, that can put the wrong image of how the good man supposed to treat their girl.

Só mais um pra engordar minha lista
Não sei, tenho apanhado tanto com os Cdramas que estou começando a achar que deveria tirar umas férias deles. Quem vê até pensa que vivo assistindo Dramas Chineses mas olha só, ano passado se terminei três dramas chineses que comecei a ver foi muito.Professional Single talvez seja apenas um retrato do que tem sido os últimos Cdramas que me aventurei a ver: não é engraçado, fofo ou romântico. É só mais um besteirol universitário sem conteúdo, que nunca acrescenta nada de relevante.
Por mais estranho que pareça eu estava até gostando da historia no começo, imaginei que seria algo leve e divertido de se acompanhar, mas lamentavelmente perdeu o fôlego bem antes de chegar a metade.
Suspeito que a demora do viki em legendar esse drama tenha contribuído muito para piorar essa situação. Perdi totalmente a vibe do drama e fiquei vários dias sem a mínima vontade de continuar.
Além disso para terminar, foi preciso dispensar muita determinação e força de vontade porque a essa altura já não aguentava nem mais ver aquela infantilidade toda dos personagens quando finalmente resolvem começar a namorar.
Fala sério se era pra ter um triângulo amoroso, pelo menos no entreguem um personagem secundário fofinho para balançar nosso coração porque Song Si Yi não chegou nem perto disso.

Esse foi sem dúvidas um dos dramas mais fofos que eu já assisti. O casal teve química demais e amei como se mantiveram juntos e buscaram soluções pra resolver os problemas deles. Gostaria que os secundários tivessem largado o pé dos protagonistas mais cedo, e algumas atitudes dos protagonistas me irritaram as vezes, mas nada que abalasse o amor que eu tive por esse drama. Os atores foram bons e até mesmo os personagens chatos foram bem colocados na história.
As OSTs foram outro ponto positivo, Belong To You da Sunnee foi uma das melhores, e o tema de abertura da Ireine também.

Devagar e sempre
A história começa legal, mas se desenvolve lentamente. Isso é amenizado por causa da fofura. O real problema é a quantidade de problema na trama por causa da falta de diálogo, falta de noção (personagens que alimentam sentimentos não recíprocos), vergonhas e os red flags - comum dos C-doramas...Os atores atuam ok no geral. Em alguns momentos exageravam ou eram 0 emoção, mas nada que incomode.
As músicas são perfeitas, lindas e fofas e foi a melhor parte da série, com certeza
No mais é isso... tem comentários mais específicos meus em alguns ep’s (ingles)
