Mr. Perfect and Miss Almost (2020)

I haven't watched a drama where the couple have a student teacher relationship in a long time, but I feel like it actually didn't play a huge role in the drama and in their relationship other than in the first few episodes.

Yun Shu is the typical sweet, clumsy, kind hearted, naive FL. I mean, this girl did not even know how to make toast.
She keeps on getting conned by people and at first the ML is like, NOPE we are not compatible.

Zhang Sinian was the best part of the show. He's a super smart mathematician with high IQ but super low EQ and no knowledge about dating whatsoever, but throughout the series you can see how he matures and he treats the FL so well. Near the beginning of the drama, his grandpa tells him that love isn't about math and that he needs to learn how to view someone imperfect with perfect eyes, and I feel like he really took this to heart.

He defends her when her sister is calling her stupid, goes searching in the trash for her beloved teddy and is willing to change for her and try new things and admit when he is wrong. And also he's hilarious - taking her shopping after the wedding... for books, planning the perfect birthday for her complete with a math lecture and test (YIKES), etc.

Their characters remind me a bit of Because This Is My First Life, and I think they balance each other out. This is an easy to watch drama that's low on drama with a happy ending and they make a cute couple.


Things that could have been better:

I'm sure that most people loved the surprise kisses, but I found it kind of weird that they always had their eyes open. I get that they're out of the blue, but after the first few it just seemed kind of weird. I think I would have preferred some variety and not just all of them being this random out of the blue event. That being said, the kitchen sink kiss was really cute.

The conflict with the cousin was resolved too easily. The ML just pays for his debt and they believe he's going to change and forgive him... and then we just never see the cousin again. What the heck?

I feel like it’s a decent drama but I’m not sure I would rewatch it — I feel like it drags a bit as it goes on and there’s not enough suspense / momentum to drive the plot forward. I feel like the plot just went off in a random turn the last third or so of the drama, when all of a sudden the opportunity comes up for the FL to become a cartoonist. The second ML also pretty much disappeared in the last part of the series although I wasn't that attached to him.

I like that at the end they sort of loop back to the beginning and there's this sense of closure, with her finishing her degree and you can sort of reflect back on the beginning but I also wasn't super satisfied at the end. I think the FL did grow as well, but I sort of disagreed with her decision at the end. I guess it matches with her character, but I just found it a bit sudden and not thought out.

it was cute..really cute

First of all i thought this was going to be a troublesome teacher and student relationship but it wasn't that atall it was really fun to watch and the performance of the actors and actresses was really good.
I personally like this type of drama with contract relationships and the leads living together because it always makes them fall in love faster and they always have a lot of cute and funny moments together.
Overall, if you're looking for a nice, cute and fluffy romance drama to unwind to this is a good one to pick.
Also i really liked the communication between the couples there was no unnecessary misunderstanding.
Enjoy.

“In for a treat”.

Loved this drama it was a drop for me at first but when I continued to watch father It got really interesting so I was glad I decided to watch it. The chemistry between the male lead and female lead is really interesting the male lead is more of a smart extremely intelligent guy and as our usual female lead the guy thinks for her but guys let this not discourage you it’s really good. The girl is really addictive and everybody loves to have her round. One thing I have to say this is not your usual contract to marriages. I don’t wanna spill too much but you have to watch this drama.

it didn't work for me.

I was looking for something light when I came across this drama, but I don't think it lived up to my expectations. despite being cute, I don't think it fulfills the role of a romcom well, being very irritating and dragging. I'm going to bring my detailed opinion so that you can understand my point.

about the plot: the plot is very poorly scripted. half of the drama is totally empty, nothing much happens, and the subplots that could be put to good use were left for the last episodes, making everything very superficial and rushed. I know it's supposed to be a light drama, I didn't expect any revealing plots, but I think the background should at least support a plot that's interesting to watch, things just drag on after a few episodes.

in addition, none of the couples know how to dialogue and the amount of shallow fights and disagreements that could be easily resolved with a simple conversation take 90% of the drama time, which made me almost give up on watching, honestly.

about romance: the couple has incredible chemistry and made me smile like a fool for their scenes, they were refreshing and the hight point of this drama (maybe the only point?)

about the main characters: the construction of the female protagonist is terrible, almost non-existent, her personality is generic, the magic formula of cdramas: naive, clumsy and with little intelligence (it didn't work very well this time, I was really irritated with her in several moments). it bothered me a lot as she doesn't have her own development, lasting and well-structured achievements. everything involves the protagonist and his relationship with him.

yes, the male protagonist is cute and much deeper than the FL, but irritating at times. I really couldn't stand him talking about statistical data and stuffing math into everything anymore. besides being pretty unbearable at first.

about the secondary: they have an underdeveloped story (and even kind of boring, I confess) and the only people I really liked were the protagonist's sister and the grandfather of ML, who is a sweet. otherwise they weren't memorable and they didn't even have enough screen time for me to get attached.

overall conclusion: was one of the weakest crdramas I've ever watched, but I think it would work for someone looking for something cliche, fast and with a cute romance, but that's all.

it could've been nice but it's just boring

The genius Maths professor falling for the silly - but cute and cheerful student - is such an abused trope... It still could be ok since the actors are nice, but it drags way too much and the central plot is unnecessary entangled with other side stories. The main couple has little to zero chemistry, the ML repeatedly pointing out how dumb the FL is. And she is indeed! Failing in her studies, unable to keep a job or even to fry an egg (!).
I'm not sure if this was the writer's intention, but the drama seems a demonstration of the fact that smart men fall for stupid girls.
I dont think i can keep watching this nonsense till the end.

Toxic romance

Can drama makers stop romanticising student teacher relationships this stuff is creepy!!! I will never ever see this as love, don't even try selling it to me. A weird emotionaless older man that is a teacher falling for his student who seems to be the dumbest most generic fl that's annoying too. I am open minded but these dramas with man being a teacher a ceo creeping on a young girl that doesn't hold the same power or maturity is a very dangerous concept irl, I take drama as it is without thinking too much of it but this one really makes you think wtf?!? If I was the FL I wouldnt want me and my teacher to be in a relationship that's insane. Yeah trash of a drama I was drefting to cdramas since they seemed okay but honestly they only look good on the surface once you dig more it's just weird

Nice Storyline

This drama started a bit slow but built up the tempo each episode. I love how it progressed.I believe the cast did an amazing job. I love old Zhang and his cunning little plots to bring Sinian and Yun Shu together. They had amazing chemistry. The second and third leads also did well. I really love and admire Miles Wei. I always remembered "Only for Love." And I feel in love with "You are My Secret" which in my opinion is one, if not the best romance Chinese drama in 2024. He has developed into an handsome, incredible, and outstanding actor and it shows in all his dramas. Thank you Miles Wei for bringing such great dramas into our homes. You're awesome! I will continue to support you. Please take a bow!??????????????????????????????

WASN'T INTRESTED

first of all I want to tell that I watch only the first 15 min of the drama @ the beginning and i dropped watching this drama. after some days i read some review those were very useful to me . and now i am giving my review.

here the story line is very interesting according to me . I love the characters that followed by the main leads . and also the plot gives many twist and turn in the story .
And from this we can learn many things which are related to many peoples life . there are many plot that drag between misunderstanding but here the plot was very strong between the ML and FL . that shows some connection toward the reality .

lighthearted, soothing, & wholesome; great when in the mood for something chill

I don't even know how many times I rewatched this drama since I first came across it. I watched it with my mom, who is never interested in watching dramas with me, and she enjoyed it so much that she re-watched it twice.

The thing I probably loved most about this story was how soothing it was. Everything from the colors (so many warm greens), to the music, pacing, characterization, and tone. It just had a great chill vibe.

The storyline was also very clean, which I appreciated, and heartwarming. More down-to-earth; not too melodramatic or overly silly. I did find the female lead whiny in the beginning, and the male lead rude -- but it just took some episodes for the characters to fully take shape. It didn't stick for long.

Absolutely LOVED grandpa and all his conspiring and kindness. The sister was a bit of a trip, but her development ended alright. Trust me when I tell you you'll want to watch it again.
