Oh come ooon....another stupid FL?
I hate the stupid female lead trope....Haaaaaaaate it.
Why would anyone think it is cute? It's not...because there aren't any stupid girls ...all girls are occasionally clumsy and do stupid things. But this here idea of writing a character that is brainless....naaaaaah .....it ain't right. I've seen it before described as "not-so-smart"...oh how polite. It's patronizing at best and sexist at the worst. What we're are trying to say here is that it's cute for a girl to be swoony, stalker-ish and altogether a silly sycophant for a guy because he's handsome? And after all her striving, her ultimate reward is an unromantic relationship?
And then add a cold totally unromantic non-caring heartless ML? ? I mean... come on...Even after the time-lapse, these two really unpalatable aspects about the main lead couple barely improved. I was secretly hoping to see some emotional maturity come with the age...uhm instead we got a "apologize to me" Aaaaaaargh...at peak annoyance right now.
This drama was painful to watch so this review is actually dedicated to Lu Yang...Hello Scene Stealer! Lu Yang is my hero and the character who made this show worth the while. Just adored that second lead couple. I loved that we learnt enough about them to have a beautiful side story. The most unlikely of couples and yet so cute and perfect for each other! *sigh* Now that was the love so beautiful.
