A waste of talents.

Good Production, good actors, and yes a potential good plot. Unfortunately , it resurfaces that old misconception about what it means to be romantic, making a man chase all the time for the woman that he loves ( really boring I must to say, because the female character most of the time is portrayed as someone determined looking for love and when it finds the love it becomes a prat spoiled inconsistent with what it says to feel, making a thread of decisions to stop the relationship with single-minded reasons where the romantic pair does not really matter over these decisions . This makes clear how little romantic indeed is. Unfortunately again, for us, this type of plot is the most common for the genre. In Miss Rose , starts well displaying Luo Si Yi closer to the real woman that when likes someone is "with him" and not " fighting against him "- as in Office Girls ( another Taiwanese series on Netflix starring Roy Chiu and possibly with the same screenwriter for Miss Rose - In Office Girls, Shen Xing Ren ( the female character) can really annoys ! In another words is a real distorted romantic plot or suitable for the girls of 12 years old . Back to Miss Rose unbelievable twists that rely on possibly a bipolar screenwriter? - Things like a central character Luo Si Yi, one day accept to date Gao Cheng Kuan , to the next day ask for a break up out of blue because she is suspected of industrial espionage? I don't think Taiwan is different from the rest of the world in heart matters, so what the heck is this love from Luo Si Yi? Very unstable and not loyal at all to her boyfriend ( is this the female traits a man has to pursue so tirelessly?). You will see Gao Cheng Kuan suffer unnecessarily a few times for nothing, it is just Luo Si Yi being coward and selfish indeed thinking what is supposed to be the best to Gao Cheng Kuan, forgetting his feelings and focusing only on hers . There is the tricky bit, a mother more than a girlfriend (so boring! ) .Where is the screenwriter inspiration? Very weak triggers to the shake ups between Luo and Gao. In the end we have something that it could be great ,ending up as the same old ( and distorted) romantic rubbish ! What a shame , a waste of talents!
