Just like the title, a little annoying.
My Annoying Roommate had potential. I love a high school / teen rom-com. I love small town dramas with a rag-tag cast of friends and uncles and aunties. The FL, Ji Mei Han, is adorable from Make My Heart Smile and her look is VERY popular these days. Everyone loves the big-eyes, baby doll face, so I would say she truly carried the show.
With all that is said and done, with a 12 episode series at 30 mins each, it would seem in theory this show would be easy to watch, but I couldn’t really tell you what it was truly about. Was it a slice of life kind of drama? Not really. What really was the plot of the show?
If you like an enemies to lovers romance with childish troupes and high angst value, then you will like this rom-com. I found the leads VERY difficult to like and cheer on. As much as I love the actress, her character was beyond childish, she plays a 17 year old but truly acted like she was 10 or 12 maybe?
The ML, Zhang Jia Shuo has been playing support roles and I can see why. He still has a long way to go in regard towards the acting department. He plays VERY stiff and his dubbing needs work. Towards the end of the show he gets better as he gains more personality, but he needs to act better on camera. Even his TV presence was lack luster. I felt like the FL out shined him a lot (even with her annoying character).
I like the idea of the show, but everything was a mess to be honest. This rom-com felt very contrived and forced. It’s as if the script writer couldn’t really write good plot points, so the only plot point in the drama were fights between the leads. If one was upset (mostly the FL), she would throw a tantrum and cause a scene and fight. Then when the leads finally make-up, she would get upset again and rinse and repeat. Instead of focusing on good plot points to work on, the script writers focused on stupid little fights between the leads to create tension. It was very difficult and annoying to watch.
The romance didn’t feel organic at all, if anything, the leads felt like brothers and sisters fighting dumb things. Who wants to watch that?
I like that the show was short and the FL is a cute actress. Other than that, the show was just basically about two people fighting until the very end.
