First and foremost, shoutout to Qibao, the golden retriever! He outshone the Male Lead in all their scenes together... a much better actor by a mile...
What makes this drama refreshing is the female lead's character. She was adorably blunt and true to herself ... no miscommunication from her end whatsoever! As emotionally constipated the male lead got, the more she expressed her feelings to him... She was empowering to say the least...
The male lead however leaves a lot to be desired. The actor was too stiff to start with...not a single micro expression in his bland face! And 90% of the time, he doesn't make any eye contact with the FL... he just stares straight ahead while talking to her... and because of this I never felt their chemistry ...
Quite surprisingly, I did not speed up the 2nd and third couples scenes... Their characters were all interesting enough for me to want to know where they are headed...
Overall, it was entertaining enough, no unecessary angst, an easy watch.. A good choice to watch while multitasking on a lazy weekend. But one of those dramas you forget about in a couple of days.
