Use For My Talent (2021)

Use for my talent is great and here's why

First thing to note is jasper li and shen yue in this drama gave me literal heart attacks not only are the scenes well written but also they are well acted also and i ship them so much and yes Ik the age gap but so what it's a big gap but not as big in count your lucky stars (shen yue is FL there) and i have not watched the korean version as of writing this review but it doesnt matter.
anyways i can honestly say that this is my favourite drama and i would love for shen yue and jasper to lead in a drama again and i have to praise the writing in this it never felt tiring and the romance were full of consent unlike other dramas also Saksakin niyo na ako because this was sweet

P.S: Im filipino and in the philippines we have a saying called 'Saksakin niyo na ako' which is saying used when a couple or scene that is so sweet you want to literally stab yourself

I fell in love with Jasper Liu's smile ♡

it had a very simple story but I couldn't stop myself to love it because it has an :

1 - amazing couple chemistry I don't meant only the main couple but also the secondary couples had an interesting concept.
2 - Beautiful cinematography and
3 - Most important what made this series perfect is Jasper Liu's smile ◠‿◠ he's beautiful

I have finished the series and already missing Gu Ren Qi he's tooo adorable... and imagining my coming next days without Use For My Talent is sooo sad sob sob sob ╥﹏╥ I want another light, sweet and cute series like this of Jasper Liu soon

Despite My Ratings, I Liked This Drama

(I'll only focus on the four main characters in this review. Be aware that this review has major spoilers)

This drama is lucky I am a sucker for cringy rom-coms. As usual, we always start with the clumsy-but-bright FL (Shuang Jiao), who of course happens to be the breadwinner of the family. Then we have the guarded-but-sweet ML (Ren Qi), who of course happens to have a major issue that prevents him from connecting with others on a deeper level, which the FL help to overcome or "fix". And just like every cringy rom-coms, they both have some major family issues. Shuang Jiao losing her mom and Ren Qi having a strained relationship with his grandfather. Of course we have the side characters. The second male lead (Lu Xian) who apparently has known the FL before the ML and has liked her before him. Of course he also has some secret connection to the ML which we discover later. Now, this is where we diverge from the typical rom-rom characters. I LOVED that the "second" female lead (Qian Qian) wasn't a mean girl who tried to ruin the relationship between the FL and the ML. We also had a good-girl-bad-guy trope with her story. I am a sucker for this trope as well. I love that she's this "good girl" that has to keep a certain persona and she falls in love with the "bad guy" (Dong Xian) who has a dark past (and of course, is a badass). I also love that the MIL was so supportive of the ML and FL's relationship and wasn't the "take this money" or "you're no good for my son" type character. I know I'm being sarcastic but I actually really enjoyed this drama. It's a light watch if you don't want something too heavy.

A sweet watch but ultimately forgettable.

Watching this drama was like eating cotton candy: fluffy, light, sickeningly sweet, with zero substance. The two leads were very likeable together and I thought they had great chemistry that gave me butterflies sometimes, even though their scenes sometimes bordered on too cheesy. The rest of the plot was insipid and unimaginative and barely had much logic holding it together, so don't look too deeply into it if you're planning on watching this for an actual story. This is the kind of drama you watch only to enjoy how sweet and adoring the main leads are with each other - and Jasper Liu and Shen Yue definitely did a great job with that!

Typical Story but Great Demonstration of all roles

It's a very typical boss-employee romance. However, I enjoy how other roles have their considerate amount of screen time just as the main couple. I like the concept of everyone has a story in this show. I find some parts of the show very unrealistic to the point of stupidity. However, it is a show that did make me laugh at times. My favorite part if probably when Liu Dongxian and Gu Renqi watch a romance together and Dongxian called Renqi !! And then when he was on the phone with Shuangjiao he tried to get her to call him Gu Baobei and Dongxian's reaction was PRICELESS! Honestly, my favorite character is Dongxian (cause have you seen him? he's totally my type haha), and so my favorite couple is definitely Dongxian and Qianqian.

Sweet, fluffy and no-fuss story

From time to time, I like to rewatch dramas and sometimes I like to watch remakes. So I decided to give a try to this remake having seen the Korean version called Clean With Passion For Now in 2019.

This version is much better than the Korean version (from what I recall). This one is a sweet, fluffy, no-fuss story.

I was impressed by the main couple’s chemistry which was amazing. We get a lot of skinship and kisses. What I appreciated is that when there is a misunderstanding, we don’t dwell too long on it.

In this drama, I discovered the actor Jasper. I just love his smile and his dimples *_* He is a kind CEO loved by his employees and does not harass without excuse people. This was a nice change compared to other dramas ;-) The character he played was lovable.

Sweet second couples.

When shooting, the crew paid a lot of attention paid to the lights and this resulted in some magnificent shots. I was impressed by the light captured in the actors' eyes.

The story has a happy ending. The ending is nicely done and is not abrupt. An entire episode is devoted to it.

-> To conclude, I think there is a good chance that I will watch this drama again one day because I had such a good time with these characters.

Sweet and Lovely couple. I watched it and became so in love with them!

At first, I hesitate to watch this coz this is just another remake of the Korean version. But as I keep on watching this, I enjoyed it a lot and I even watch it many times even though I have finished it already because I miss their sweet interactions. Gu Ren Qi is your typical handsome rich boyfriend but has a germ phobia, whereas Shen Yue’s character is like a girl next door doing everything for her family. They have a lot of kissing scenes, they were super sweet with one another. OMG, I want that too!

She has a cute brother, no, not cute, a very handsome brother, and I think he is one more reason I keep watching this, and of course, a handsome psychiatrist neighbor who has a crush on Shen Yue, and who always eats at their house because her family considers him like a family too. I like their neighborhood, you would just stumble upon a handsome neighbor who likes to help you a lot. I love Shen Yue’s relationship with her brother, they argue a lot but it is evident that they love one another.

This drama is worth watching!!!! I love it, and will definitely re-watch this!

Shen Yue is really a good actress... She can do every role

She really is a good actress even tho it’s a remake and a lot of viewers already know the story behind those episode but they give the best version. To be honest she’s cute and at the same time pretty no need a high filter on screen or make up.I love her natural beauty and natural acting. Hoping to see her in more original drama or C-costume drama.?????????????????????????????????????????? I really loved her... She did her job very well... She's just 24 and yet a talented one. She's the firsf Chinese actress that caught my attention... I love her since "A love so beautiful"

I was absolutely in love with the secondary couple (the best friend and the brother), I wish they had a drama just about them.

The main couple has a really weird storyline, I don't think I enjoyed it. I like Shen Yue, but her acting is getting repetitive and doesn't seem like good acting anymore. There were no big twists, everything was predictable and the mistunderstading... just simple misunderstadings, nothing interesting.

I live for romance, but in this drama, I think the secondary couples outshine the main couple.

I don't think I'll ever rewatch this, but the secondary couples made it worth it.

nice and sweet

this drama is very good, full of lover en sweet scenes. Shen Yue and Jasper are awesome er relealy enjoy there role and character. Ther chemistry is greate, the close ups from Shen Yue and Jasper eyes are so great , the eyes of Shen Yue and jasper look like little stars when they look at each other and when they laugh the sun shines. the chemistry between the two is amazing,I think it's because in real life, they get along well too and you can see that back in the romcom I also like Yanan in his first movie, the scenes with Shen Yue Lmao, they acting so great, like real brother and sister.
