A bowl of luosifen quarantine dish, accompanying tiny mint candy to keep teeth shining
The very short episodes make watching this drama feel like getting a box of tiny candies in too much individual wrapping, since it is unlikely that a first taster will lead to just patiently waiting hours, days, or more to see where it is going. Either you fling the box away in disgust about all that waste, or you go on unwrapping, even when you don't expect to find a surprise or a gold nugget.
On YouTube, the first and last 15 episodes have been cojoined in 2 episodes and that's quite sufficient. On WeTV you'll have to skip a lot of intro and end credits for each of the micro episodes, which are cutting off rather abruptly.
The acting of FL brought up in my mind memories of old time cutesy and feisty "cunning" females in outdated old movies or cartoons from the 1920-1940s. The ML looks helpless like a puppet. The weird BFF of FL, the neighborhood watcher, and the weirder mother of ML sometimes made me think that the story was skidding off track, perhaps veering to ghosts and fantasy, but no, it did not venture into those interesting fields where flamboyant vampires, shape shifting snakes and foxes, or drawings on windows coming to life, wreak havoc in human realms... Sigh. The supporting ML act is at best that of a papercut.
But this drama is clearly just a small sugar dish for those who want uncomplicated screen fluff, in time for (if you can get it despite confinements) high tea with scones and marmelade. As long as the oven does not set fire to the house !
The story is not leading anywhere, it just goes back and forth between the two adjoined houses and high terrace of the necessary office, in an eternal see-saw movement which could be spinned sappily on and on after present day end credits, with space for a lot of soup, soap and skincare commercials.
Also, what is it with those recent dramas that keep hyping the evil smelling luosifen noodles ? Has it to do with having preserved river snails become “most popular (cheap & fast) food item during quarantine” ?--- okay, take another helping of mints to combat the boggy smells !
It is a no way memorable drama, just a small innocuous and guilty pleasure that does not even need to be hid from parents, teachers and preachers. And since it is short, the waste of time is not critical. For those who are bored, it could even be construed as a homeopathic pill, not toxic anyway, to while away the hours.
