There is hope even if you are at the end of your rope
If you are tired of watching 48 episode CDramas, this show is for you.
The dark humor in this show is related to suicide so if anyone is sensitive to that sort of thing, beware.
Story:
The story is a dark comedy about Mi Chong who is an orphan and alone. One day, he decides to commit suicide and that is where he finds the girl he would soon fall in love with, Zhi Liao. Together, they find themselves on the run from gangsters when Zhi Liao's devious past catches up with her. The story is not extravagant, but it is short and sweet. This show, thankfully, also does not have a nihilistic ending, (which actually surprised me) and is the perfect show to marathon in a couple days. Each episode is about 25 minutes long, and there are only eight episodes.
Acting:
The chemistry between Leon Leong (Mi Chong) and Vivienne Tien (Zhi Liao) is honestly what made the show for me. They are very believable together, and the chaotic duo definitely adds the charm the dark series needed. Zhi Liao is the party girl with the heart of gold, and Mi Chong is the caring tsundere... What's not to love?
Overall: I would definitely recommend it if you need a breather after a long series. Definitely Not Today is well acted, and not cheesy at all. It is a simple love story that I think anyone would enjoy if they can handle the suicide humor.
