Bu Hui Lian Ai De Wo Men (2022)

Quello che mi aspettavo da questo drama effettivamente mi è stato dato: una bella storia d'amore, anche un po' troppo dolce ma era quello che cercavo. I momenti in cui ci sono i due protagonisti valgono tutta la visione del drama. La storia oltre a quella d'amore non mi ha particolarmente entusiasmato, anzi alcune parti le volevo proprio skippare ma i due personaggi principali insieme sono davvero bellissimi! Mi è piaciuto molto come è stato trattato il fatto che tra i due ci siano ben 8 anni di differenza: si vede che lui è un ragazzino mentre lei è adulta e questo spinge il protagonista a voler crescere e a voler dimostrare quanto tiene a lei. La seconda coppia non mi ha dato molte vibes positive, troppo dolce e troppo semplice. Per quanto riguarda gli antagonisti della storia, non mi sono dispiaciuti alla fine. Sono stati caratterizzati molto bene.
Ah. Non dimentichiamoci di Simona Wang che anche qui interpreta un personaggio finto come il mio comodino XD (io ho avuto il "piacere" di conoscerla con well intended love e da lì non l'ho più dimenticata!!) con una particolare situazione che non viene molto approfondita e mi ha fatto un po' storcere il naso questa cosa, ma per il resto il drama è ok.
Consigliato se vi piacciono le storie d'amore dove la protagonista femminile è più grande della controparte maschile :)
...e consigliato anche se vi piacciono i ragazzi che corrono in moto XD

Sizzling Chemistry, Great Comedy---Acting & Plot Sold Separately.

For the first time ever, I'm giving a high score to a show where there was virtually no acting nor real plot. Starting with the pros as usual.

Pros: The absolutely sizzling chemistry between the leads for starters. From the the day they meet which is episode one, even if they don't like each other in the slightest, they're drawn to each other. Doesn't hurt that ML does come off as a cross between Elvis and Christian Grey (he cooks, cleans, can speak the language of cacti, can both play and teach golf, is a motorcycle rider/racer, knows various computer programs, is a magician, a gamer, can livestream, sings and plays the piano, plays chess, as well as can fly a helicopter and land in any emergency). The comedy is awesome; it makes you laugh hysterically sometimes at the ridiculous situations both leads find themselves in or put themselves in. The ML started as a bit of a selfish character, in reality he had a great heart all around and was very likable. The FL though stubborn and had nothing in her life save for work, was a sweet and caring woman. ML does chase FL first and that's where the primary comedy comes from, though there's a lot of it before he comes to that realization.

All of the secondary characters and couples have their own stories and they all come in when needed and resolved accordingly. I'm very glad that ML's best friend didn't just disappear because he was in a coma the entire series as often seen with useless characters. He was given etches of improvements and then him being shown awake at a very important time in the series. The OSTs were very on point and appropriate where they were added. Very glad the singular antagonist was dealt with accordingly and that it didn't drag on for eternity considering this was a series with only 24 episodes.

Cons: No plot; this show hinged on the lives of office workers and a romance between a younger man and older woman. There was also a love triangle or quad happening. The acting was subpar at best. ML is an idol with very little acting experience; if he wants to continue in the industry, I hope he gets himself an acting coach and learns how to show emotions not just say the lines. The stone-faced look didn't help the softer scenes or anywhere really; even the two times he really cried just didn't hit the mark, like he was trying too hard. Also not sure what was going on with the fashion on this show; the ML in particular had some avant-garde Project Runway thing going on that more often than not, didn't make any sense for neither him nor his character. Also way too much product placement; KellyOne water was literally everywhere.

LYR or cling wrap chick as I called her had to be the worst thing in this entire series. Though she did slightly evolve towards the end; I still do not understand this need to stick these whiny, annoying, stalkerish second or third female leads into these series, modern or otherwise. Even if she's supposed to be 23, she legit acts like she's a pre-teen. Once she finally got it through her head that GJX was not interested (and it took a few times), she proceeded to latch onto another man like gorilla glue also following him overseas. It's mind boggling that these kinds of characters are used over and over again. Real women do not act like that! There was a necessity to ffw her a few times.

Would I recommend it? I was looking for a rom-com where it was easy on the brain and you could just enjoy. This fit the bill to a T. So if that's what you're looking for as well, this is your show! Grab some popcorn, get ready to laugh a lot, and enjoy the cuter then hell moments especially starting with episode 17. ;)
