Jia You! Zhao Nuan Nuan (2022)

all cliches served in a plate but didn't taste bad

This drama series is surely like all clinches put together and served to the audience but it wasn't bad. Basically there is nothing called story it's like a simple rom com in which a girl meets a guy, fights with him initially then work under him then they fall in love then the anti-fl comes messes up everything and goes away in the last ep. Nothing new.
But this one was cute and funny it didn't get boring despite being super predictable.
The chemistry between the leads was good and the stories 2nd and 3rd leads were also intresting . The characters of ml and fl were pretty much like any other dramas of the same type but here the ml wasn't imported from Antarctica.
Overall there is not much to say abt this one. At the end i can only say that you can watch this one only for some cute,fluffy and funny moments and this one should not be taken seriously basically don't expect much.
U may watch it as a filler or maybe when u don't have anything better to watch.
If it's not exceptional then it is not awful either.

Started out average only to get worse

The writer hinted at for a few episodes and then eventually brought in the clingy, super obsessed, pathetic, delusional, third wheel who was never in a relationship but chased after ML who had zero interest in her. In my opinion it killed the fluffy romcom vibe that this drama had going with it and tried to make it suddenly into a cut throat business drama with super low lead-in on that.

There were a few moments spread throughout the first 20 episodes that kind of hinted there would be a big sabotage moment for the company that ML owned but honestly it just took over the entire narrative and became the focal point and the reason behind the ML and FL breaking up, which went from cuddly "let's never break up" to crying hysterically while misunderstanding everything in one 24 hour period. FLs misunderstandings didn't even feel like the writer remembered the character he created, it felt very out of left field for her to react like that.

With only 4 episodes left you after the big drama in the company happens you don't even have to watch it to know how it will play out. First everything falls apart, then ML or FL will solve the crisis, then they overtake the villain and trap them in their own evil doing, then company is saved, main couple get back together, side couples reconcile and get together, parental relationship is mended due to an illness, weakness. or something and then happy ever after. Probably. End of the drama. Roll credits.

The problem is not that it's super predictable at this point, because some very predictable dramas are still entertaining, the problem is that there is a severe lack of fire and passion in the kisses between literally every single couple. I could say it was an actors problem if it was one or two actors, but this has 3 couples and ALL their kisses are statue kisses...this is a director making a bad decision problem.

Someone must have mentioned it to Chu De Jian. the director, in the last year or so, because I've seen 6 out of the 7 things he's done up until 2022 and only the very last one that he directed (that was released in 2023) had really good kisses, every single drama before that was statue kisses that barely registered as romance.
