Miss Buyer (2022)

Don’t watch if you don’t like cliff hangers

No need to mention what everyone has been talking about like the face swapping.

IF WATCHING ON IQIYI - My SECOND issue is if you don’t speak the language, have your remote and translator ready. Some shows / services include translating whatever test is shown. Or have voice overs reading text messages. There was a part with almost 10 minutes of conversation on text the iQIYI didn’t translate. So grab your remotes and instant text translators out. You will need it throughout the show.

and the ending…..



Did the writer and production crew just quit in the middle of a shoot and walk off without notice?

Cute modern workplace drama

Overview: Ding Yike just lost her job and her boyfriend of seven years but she did win a reality tv show that landed her a job at the fashion company May - the only problem is she has no interest in fashion! Her new boss is cold and efficient, with a mysterious past. And what is up with her pesky downstairs neighbor, who is starting a boutique of his own?

My opinion: I enjoyed this drama much more than I thought I would, and I give a lot of credit to the FL for being so engaging. The ex-bf is unappealing (the drama makes it hard to explain what she saw in him to begin with??) but the slowly unfolding relationship between the two leads was enjoyable. It felt like a Chinese drama take on Devil Wears Prada at times, which I liked. The drama often breaks the third wall, having the actors speak directly to the audience, which I felt helped a lot with exposition. The original male lead was edited out and a new actor’s face was superimposed - it mostly works but there are a few scenes where he looks weird and I think that is why. The ending is abrupt/choppy but the loose plot threads were mostly resolved. The story would have been a lot tighter with 16-18 episodes instead of 24 but I know that’s not typical for Cdramas. Enjoyable but not memorable.
