Let's Date, Professor Xie (2023)

glad this drama was a mini drama so it won't get dragged too long
the plot was soooo late 2000is early 2010ish lol, it's good that kiki and ZZH chemistry were good (can't wait to see their cuts on FUWD as I only plan on watching kiki's cut) even though some of the parts were questionable for now but it won't back then

I remembered the rumor of this drama supposed to be a GL drama lol, too bad kiki-ddd's chemistry got slightly wasted even though there's a lil bit part of theirs as fanservice
and dai meng had love line was too funny for me
high-key wishes the actors other than ZZH (he's passable and his acting was good) were more good looking 🤷

Refreshing take on fake relationship and nerd/geek tropes

Whenever I am in the mood for mini dramas, I'd scroll my dashboard on WeTV. The title peaked my interest and I instantly click 'Play' after reading synopsis.

What I liked:
1. Xie Yu Fei characterisation - In this drama, the nerd/geek is the female lead Xie Yu Fei. I love her character - she's intelligent, self-assured, open to new experiences. I love it when she scolded Yao Zhen Zhen for overstepping the line but at the same time, acknowledges Yao Zhen Zhen's strengths. It was disheartening to see Yu Fei upset - those two scenes almost made me cry. Xu Jia Qi was amazing and very pretty as Yu Fei.
2. Writing - I enjoy watching fake relationship trope and gosh, this mini drama put a refreshing twist on it by ending the charade before halfway through the series. It's also great to see the growth of Ling Yang's character. He became less childish and more responsible for his future.
3. The romance - Gosh, I love that Yu Fei took initiative to kiss. Even though there aren't many kissing scenes, you see their love grows through their actions e.g. Ling Yang's cooking.
4. Supporting characters - I love the besties Qi Qing and Guan Pei as they are extremely loyal and protective of Yu Fei and Ling Yang.
5. Styling - I really like the styling for Yu Fei and Ling Yang. The leather jacket, white shirt, tie, jeans and combat boots on Zhang Zhi Yao - amazing. Don't mind the repeating combo. I like actresses with short bob but mature styling (i.e. no fringe). Xu Jia Qi looks pretty with every outfit even when she wears a plain tshirt at home.

What I disliked:
1. Factory sub-plot - Not a dislike but I wish this sub-plot was given more depth. It'd be nice to see how Ling Yang manages his family's legacy and how Yu Fei supports him through this path.
2. Yu Fei's parents - I don't like people looking down on others just because they have more formal education.
3. Wedding scene - I wish this scene had included the professor that asked Yu Fei to go on a blind date with Ling Yang. He was crucial to their love story, he should be at the wedding.

Favourite scene
When Yu Fei informed Ling Yang that she likes him

Watch this drama if you want a fun and easy watch

I thoroughly enjoyed this short Cdrama. ML was a bit cute despite acting childish, FL was very pretty while being straightforward, and they had some good chemistry together.

I applaud their effort to make some scenes less cliche, especially the scene where ML falls on the glass instead of FL kissing ML when she falls down (that got me laughing). However, some scenes were just cringey like where the actress’ admirer attacks FL and ML and acts like a bloody sociopath just because he is so in love. Luckily, the actress didn’t turn out to be the usual evil 2nd lead that ruins ML and FL’s relationship, and instead turns the perpetrator in and decides that she doesn’t like ML anymore. This made her much more likeable than just a whiney character.

But frankly, I was a bit disappointed in the ending, as it could have much more potential than just a rush ending. Firstly, it showcased ML taking over the company and acting more maturely. Secondly, it linked ML’s background (son of preserved vegetables’ company) and FL’s career (professor of biology I guess) together. However, the drama just showed FL helping ML and ended abruptly. I would be so interested in watching more ep of ML and FL supporting each other in their career, and ML acting as a more mature person in his office role.

(Ps: it was a shame that they didn’t film much of ML actually cooking food like a legit chef although I know it’s probably cuz production team was poor as I see ML and FL always wearing the same clothes😂)

Ideal for binge watching in an rainy evening :)

Mini series (24 x 6" without credits) with an interesting plot, with good actors (Kiki Xu & Zhang Zhi Hao).

PLOT: blind date between a famous young chef and a lab researcher. Everyone goes there for a self-interested purpose, but personality differences make the situations comical.

+ I really like Zhang Zhi Hao, I hope this drama will allow him to have more Main Roles.

# all the classic arcs of 1 story (bickering->love, love rivals, economic issues) but condensed in 1 small format, so everything seems "overflown".

Mini série (24 X 6" sans les génériques) au plot intéressant, avec de bons acteurs (Kiki Xu & Zhang Zhi Hao).

PLOT: blind date entre 1 jeune chef de cuisine en vogue et une chercheuse de labo. Chacun y va dans un but intéressé, mais les différences de personnalité rendent les situations cocasses.

+ j'aime bcp Zhang Zhi Hao, j'espère que ce drama lui permettra d'avoir davantage de Main Rôles.
