Wo qin'ai de 'Xiao jiepi'

I cried, laughed and couldnt look away All cast were fabulous. A true gem. Highly recommend. And omg so funny too, ty cast, great job. Loved every bit of it.

This is mostly about three romances. Of the three I found the romance between the influencer-bodyguard/assistant to be the most interesting. But, the main romance isn't bad. The CEO of a cleaning company falls in love with a low-level employee of the company. I actually liked the fact that she is not a classic beauty, but is full of personality.

The CEO is a germophobe (as many translated shows do, they use a much less common, but slightly more accurate synonym - mysophobe). He actually is so attracted to her that he can overcome most of his symptoms around her.

The main thing I didn't like about the show is when they show flashbacks of the grandfather's treatment of the CEO when he was young. This has directly led to his germophobia. Everyone refers to the grandfather's treatment of the young CEO as "strict". I take great issue with that. The grandfather's treatment of his grandson was verbal abuse! There is no other way to characterize it.

At pushing 70, I am not some young woke snowflake. It would have been abuse 60 years ago and it is still abuse today.

Near the end of the show the grandfather suddenly becomes a nice person to all around him. A not very believable, sudden transition. The therapist starts off misusing his position, but also, more subtly, transitions into a better person.

Other than the issues with the grandfather, I found the show fine, with more modern production values than most Asian shows. And, a tiny disappointment that the bad guy never gets his comeuppance.

I had higher expectations for this drama. I loved the main lead on Meteor Garden and On a love so beautiful, but this drama seemed so plain and fake. I didn't feel any chemistry between the leads ( or the rest of the couples for that matter). Anyhow, watch ot if you want something silly and lighthearted to watch when you can skip whole parts of the show without miss anything important.

This is a somewhat unlikely love story between a mysophobe and a messy young woman. The set piece of the "accidental" kiss on the elevator is so fake it's embarrassing. The lead actress has the same surprised expression on her face with every encounter - she is the same in every series I have seen her in - she is a poor actress with no acting range.

She also has an annoying habit of wiggling her head about and the strangest shambling run that looks so clumsy. The camera keeps focussing on her mouth - and it really shouldn't because it is not an attractive shape.

With regard to the Asian way of life I find it very odd that young people think it their duty to support male relatives who are perfectly capable of working. I had no sympathy for her alcoholic father who should have taken responsibility for the family he made rather than sponging off them.

Jasper Liu does his best - and is an attractive male lead - but one gets the feeling that this female lead always gets similar parts for the simple reason that she is short of stature and makes her male co-stars look big and heroic. He deserved better.

There follows the usual conflict regarding parents prejudices and historical events between them.

I am curious to know why this series showed the very last scene after every episode. Why bother to watch it after the first episode if we already know the ending?

There's so many this type of c dramas that when I first watching I thought I would just skip most of this drama just like I did in last few c dramas. But there's something different and excellent about this drama. I quite don't know what but I was hooked and watched till episode 22 cz last 2 episodes didn't air then.

I found it weird that at just episode 3 he realised he liked her but took so longggg to confess episode 12! But the accidental escalator kiss will be epic forever!

I loved fact that there's 3 couples in this cdrama. I haven't watched the korean version of this yet so I can't compare but I love this one though! Worth a binge watch!
