Light, Cliche, College Romance C-Drama

[nishera · 7/10 · 22 April 2021]

If you are looking for a cute, C-Drama-style piece of generic, college romance fluff, this one fits the bill (though there are many others which I thought were better). There's not much that really stood out about it to me, but it was technically sound with a pretty cast, and the comparatively short 24 episodes were fine for light entertainment. On the other hand, if you usually prefer deep emotion and compelling storytelling, this show probably won't do it for you.

ROMANCE RATING: * * * 6/10. This show featured 3+ kiss scenes, quite a bit of skinship, and even a brief bedroom scene, but all of it is very G-rated and kept to the usual squeaky-clean, C-Drama standard. Additionally, the chemistry between SYR & DCY seemed lacking to me (though you may disagree).

In short, if you are looking for something light and predictable, which doesn't require much time or emotional investment, this one might be right up your alley!

Good Enough

" Professional Single " is an adorable drama with a cute couple.

The highlight of it is actually the female lead. Yes she is acting cute from time to time, and yes, sometimes she is in need of help, but, all in all, she was a strong lead, who didn't get whiny and annoying. Her chemistry with the male lead was spot on as well, and they were adorable together. Chemistry was, in fact, the thing that kept things interesting, as pretty much the whole drama was about them dancing around each other and never getting actually together.

As for the second leads, they were fine, male second lead was adorable and the friends were funny and great, but the female second lead... well, she didn't get no for an answer and she tended to be annoying from time to time.

Finally, the performances were good and the pace pretty fast overall.

So, 7 out of 10.

Wonderful

This is an excellent high school/ College romance drama. If you have seen other famous Chinese or korean dramas, you will definitely love it. It's tooo cute and funny, and every scene is enjoyable..

Oh my gosh, I just finished it and it is the most perfect, cheesy, romantic C-Drama I have watched so far. Only 24 Episodes, which I watched in less than 36 Hours. Got so addicted to the Cast, the plot and the Mainleads. They have an amazing chemistry and I just love that they are normal. Yes he is breathtaking beautiful, but they play normal people, with normal problems, who are just finding their way in life. It is so damn well played and even the supporting roles are just outstanding. The Music is beautiful and ohhh my gosh, I am sooo sad, that it has ended.

Can't wait to rewatch it all over again during the Holidays <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Cute professional single

Well, i have seen quite a good number of c-drama in romantic genre. But this drama was maybe most appealing one to me. I just enjoyed it from the first episode. The frivolity of FL always glued me to that drama. The Fl Yuan Qian is a pretty, sweet and a perky girl likes to have fun with friends. The Ml Qin Chen is a cool, poker faced guy who used to think of love as a loss project before fall in love with Yuan Qian. Meanwhile their chemistry made the drama more addicting.

The whole drama was loudy with their friends bantering each other. The drama is a moodchanger. There maybe many spoiler but i liked the drama honestly. It will be one of the best and leading drama to me forever. I am in love with this drama. 💞

Not great!

I was quickly sucked into this show from episode 1. I could not get enough of the characters and the chemistry between the Male lead, Female Lead and the Second Male Lead. As much as I like the ML I really loved the SML as well. But things get a bit dicey when it comes to the ML's personality and this really turned me off from the show.

Love the friendships in the story. The FL and her roommates are very close and you really see the love and support they have for one another. Each of them have a certain role in a friendship and I loved seeing one as more nurturing and the other as headstrong but they all made it work. They were great at giving advice and standing up for each other but also at giving each other space when it was needed. The ML and his roommates had a great relationship as well. There was one guy that just understood everyone around him and was constantly helping out as much as he could especially when it came to the ML who never said a word or showed any emotion. His roommates also had different purpose and were always encouraged him in pursuing relationships.. The friendships between them are so positive and so great that if this was more about their relationships I think this would be a

The ML and FL had great chemistry and I really liked that they did not really like each other in the beginning but grew to like one another throughout the series. I also like that she was seriously not interested in this guy despite the fact that he was supposedly the most good looking, the most athletic, the smartest guy, the most artistic ... and the list goes on. Its when they are in a relationship when the toxic masculinity steps in. He is constantly jealous and making her promise not see male friends. She decides to tell her friend that she is dating the ML and instead of letting her tell the guy he shows up where she is and watches her. Its super creepy. And later is mad at her because things did not go the way he wanted and she accepts his anger and blames herself! There are scenes where he kisses her and your like ummmmm that just doesn't seem like she has much of a choice. And the last episode really just got to me. They go to a motel and he basically tricks her into spending the night with and having sex even though she clearly was uncomfortable. I see this a lot in Cdramas and I don't understand why.

The SFL was crazy. I mean she really needed help but she was a stalker and when the ML would see her he would tense up and I can't blame him that has got to be one of the most stressful things in the world. To be constantly followed no matter what you do or say to someone. I hated this aspect of the show.

I wouldn't recommended this to anyone because I had high hopes and was really disappointed.
