Mind-numbingly predictable CEO romance with hideous aggressive OST and no chemistry.
First let me say that the best part of this drama BY FAR, was He Rui Xian's incredible performance as the 2FL. She's so amazing and deserves high caliber 1FL roles.
The rest of this was, to put it bluntly, total crap.
While it would take a dissertation to fully enumerate the ways in which this was crap, I will do my best to keep it brief.
*No ML/FL chemistry. I dont know where the problem lies. Maybe Kai keeps getting handed FLs that dont mesh well with him. Maybe he has a really hard time letting go in front of the camera. Maybe hes RL gay. But whatever it is, this is another flat Kai Soso performance, lacking sexual chemistry, passion, and depth.
*Flat ML performance. Kai is good in some situations and dramas, but this isnt one of those dramas. Its impossible to distinguish the difference between his "straight man" character, or just his limited acting ability.
*FL is not sexy and has a bad haircut and boring clothes. Shes cute. And she is a good actress. But shes not sexy. She should be playing roles other than romance FLs
*Kiss scenes are tame
*Moderately high cringe-factor
*Slow slowwwww pacing. This should have 10 episodes shaved off
*Tired, cliche storyline. The actual business story is good. But every other aspect of it is insultingly cliche.
*Mediocre dialogue all the way from beginning to end.
*Background music is stupid and out of touch
*OST is so aggressive it should be arrested and tried for assault.
*Characters are simplistic and too perfect, like a teens dream of what life is like and what people are like, and a teen's dream fantasy.
*They take an indoor cat, in a cat carrier, to the park for its birthday. They lay out a blanket, and put a TINY HAT ON THE CAT. The kind with an elastic chin strap. Then they let the cat out of the carrier. And the cat stays on the blanket. It stays on the blanket, and just... sits there. Mkay. This is the kind of show we are dealing with here. If any one scene could sum up how I feel about the show, its that one.
I would recc this to mushy romantic sentimental people whose favorite color is fuscia/magenta/hot pink, and who still have at least one stuffed animal on their bed.
