Professional Single (2020)

This is a really nice and cute romantic comedy set within an art university life starting with the protagonists first year and ending with their graduation. Although the drama is about Yuan Qian and Qin Shen being single since childhood and how they slowly fall in love, the plot also includes the lives and struggles of other students as well. The male lead, Qin Shen (played by Aaron Deng) falls first for the female lead Yuan Qian (played by Ireine Song), but keeps his feelings to himself until he notices that there’s another guy interested in her and his not about to lose her. The female lead also falls for Qin Shen but, because of her demure character, which lasts for almost the entire drama, it takes some time to respond to Qin Shen’s feelings. Although the leading couple has good fun and playful chemistry, their romantic scenes are not that good; there’s something amiss, especially from Ireine Song, which makes it difficult to believe that she’s deeply in love although one can tell that she likes only Qin Shen as her romantic interest. Even though the drama could’ve shown a more in depth relationship and character development for the leading couple and the supporting cast, the drama is lighthearted and entertaining. Enjoy it!

Very simple, yet sweet story.

STORY---------------------------------------
I decided to watch this drama after I saw how many times it was recommended. It is a very simple story, with light conflict. Leads do not make any dumb decisions, and there are no cringey parts in the drama. I enjoyed it a lot, and it's great to watch after watching an emotional and full of action drama. I laughed a lot, but didn't cry, so there aren't any major turns. It's just about how their relationship develops with each other, and how the characters deal with coming situations.

ACTING/CAST------------------------------
Acting was awesome! It has lots of humor and is simple but gets you hooked! The cast is so perfect too.

MUSIC----------------------------------------
Music was pretty good, and I especially liked Song Yi Ren and Wang Run Ze's songs that they sung.

REWATCH VALUE--------------------------
Definitely worth rewatching! It's easygoing, and full of action. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is thinking of watching this drama.

generic school cdrama which is weirdly unique

Professional Single (2020) -8/10 cdrama

this drama is puzzle for me...
story is dumb school romcom with no innovation[dont think by brain just watch by eyes], :villain: is just sticky girl which dont get NO as answer quite weak and annoying. Second ML couldnt be more generic and FL is epitome of :ugly girl:[ok I am exaggerating here... but she cant be called beauty nor cute, more average]

Still I quite enjoyed it.

plot - ML and FL are art school students... ML is :cold prince of campus:. FL is average student girl. They both get into few accidents in which ML starts feel something for FL. Well and story continues with classic theme.

genre - school , romance

Best drama ever for teens..

This was the first cdrama I watch.. First I saw this through some status videos coming in youtube... I just saw 1st ep im the 1st day, 2nd day I saw 2nd and 3rd ep, and the 3rd day I watched 4,5,6,7,8 episodes... In the 5th day I watched 9th to 16th episode... In the 6th day I watched 17th to 22nd one... In the last I was watching the remaining episodes... When I was watching 24th one I realised that it was the last episode... In the end I was about to cry without my knowledge...
So after finishing this one.. I planned to see A river runs through it drama... When I was watching the 1st one of it... I couldn't see it because I was thinking about Qin shen and yuan qian (main roles of the drama).. So I called up my friend And I told her about this... She suggested me to watch Love is so beautiful... But also I can't... So I listened to the songs of the professional single drama... And I was listening it again and again.... And I again came up with the thought of that drama... So I watched the clips of it... If you see my YouTube it will be full of Professional single... I was addicted to it....


So finally I started to put reviews on youtube to watch professional single....




So by conclusion I will suggest this to watch because it doesn't contain any toxic items like sex... Only three scenes will be of romantic...


And I suggest you to see the clips in which Qin shen( main role) will be jealous by seeing the second role and support male role are close to each other... It will be very funny haha??

One cliché among the many.

EDIT: I rethought and lowered my rating. But, I still stick to what I said.
Definitely, this drama doesn't deserve a 9.5 if you look at it from all aspects. But, I loved it so much to the point that I rewatched it.
So... is this really worth it?

THE CHARACTERS:
The usual: Yuan Qian, a freshman of the Sculpture Department has no time for games or relationships - she wanted to badly transfer her major to Oil Painting which she had unfortunately lost due to her low College Entrance scores.
Qin Shen: the hero whose heart is same as that of his sculptures. He doesn't pursue relationships either, rather he wishes to excel in his craft and talent.
They have their own paths. So, when they collide, thing go right and wrong.

SATISFACTION OR CAREER?
One thing that I absolutely loved is how they handled this subject. (And possibly explains my high rating.) Most of the plot revolves around the female lead attempting to change her major to the one she loves. Qin Shen, the male lead, is punished by his mother for choosing what he loves - sculptures. [ I didn't even know that such a major exists. ]
The school decides to stop taking in students due to its less popularity.
With only 11 students and not to mention that most of them were reassigned from other majors and had to learn to love Sculpture. [Except maybe two or three including Qin Shen.]

Objectively, parents are right - sometimes choosing what we love would end up with us being jobless. I still don't know what to think of this and it might never change.

THE ROMANCE:
Coming from a Professional Single myself, I would not ask you to trust my rating.
The leads are forced together on several occasions, which I think is the reason they fell for each other. There are time skips right from EP 3, so we do not see the complete growth of their relationship, rather only the tough parts.
I liked how Qin Shen and Yuan Qian were skirting around each other without ever telling what the other was feeling. This leads to some misunderstandings. (They don't get together until EP 16.)
Heck, Qin Shen himself is one jealous person. But, I wished Yuan Qian had tested his limits cause most of the time, it seemed like she didn't. She was afraid of losing him once she got him.
And I've seen comments about how Qin Shen's actions creeped out many. I suck at anything romantic, so I'd suggest you to watch the drama to find out. I didn't care much about the last few episodes, even though I loved the drama.
And this comment sums up what I thought:
https://mydramalist.com/40061-professional-single#comment-4723381
[Same thing with LoveO2O - Wei Wei's computer was hacked by the main guy, not to mention that he almost stalked her albeit his intentions... if it was real life, he'd be in jail.]


THE FRIENDSHIPS:
They were one of the reasons that kept me watching the show. All of them were unique and relatable and reminded me of my real life friends. Particularly Chen Qinan and Yi Ming.
I had many crack up moments due to their antics.
For once, there was no "you are better than me" "she is more good looking" talk among them, both girls and boys. They learn to appreciate each other for who they were.

THE ANTAGONISTS...
don't actually exist. The second lead, Song Siyi is never considered a romantic rival. He is good and cheerful to everyone, including the Yuan Qian. He might be even better than the male lead when it comes to possessiveness. But, its clear that what he feels is just his wishful thinking. He is one of my favourites for just being himself.

I didn't particularly hate Ling Wei either. She had a crafty mind, but she wasn't completely evil as some of the others I've come across.

OVERALL:
Its a good watch and throw drama among many of the millions released every year, if we ignore the problematic parts. But, I'm glad that I stumbled across it.

A bumpy first romance

Is this a fun series? Yes, it has all the cute scenes you expect from one of these rom coms, the guy trying to act cool but melting for his love interest. The main female lead is just adorable and she really embodies the "new to dating" awkwardness. You see Yuan Xian grow from a shy, unsure partner to being confident to tell Ling Wei, girl who likes Qin Shin, that they are dating even after the she used every opportunity to guilt Yuan from "gifting" her a job to using depression to keep them apart.

Now for the negative, I was a bit shaky on the romance between the main character since up until they started dating, I felt more chemistry in them tentatively showing their feelings. Then after they were openly dating there didn't seem to be any "chemistry" other than a very cute scene with him giving her a necklace and him barking >.< When you watch it, you will see what I mean.. just "ahh?"

Also I was a bit frustrated with how he seemed to punish her for quite some time, and it was seen as ok? I get him being upset for a bit but it seemed to be over a span of a long time.

All in all it was a cute series that took place over the span of freshman year for majority of the episodes and then a peak at them at graduation.

CEOs of Being Single? YESSIRRRRR

This entire show in general was beautiful, from the characters to the lessons learned throughout, this show set my expectations for college. If it ain't like this, it sucked. I first watched this drama because when I read the synopsis, I was really surprised how much I related to Yuan Qian. I'm also very picky about guys. If I see even the smallest unbearable habit, I stay away. The show had a very simple theme: there's a bunch of college kids that bonds under a department.

Qin Shen did leave me a little pissed at first, but then I realized he doesn't know how to show his feelings. He tried to make Yuan Qian happy, which I respect and appreciate about him. Yuan Qian is very protective of herself and her friends. She adores her roommates even though she wanted to change majors because of a measly deal with her dad. She also knows how to avoid guys, which honestly is me. Yuan Qian and Qin Shen's roommates are something else. Yi Ming is very sweet, and respects Qin Shen. Yi Ming honestly would be cute with Lu Jia Ning, they balance each other perfectly. Chen Qi Nan is hilarious, he never misses the chance to be mischievous. He's such a troublemaker, and it's funny that he's easily intimidated by Lu Xin Xin when she's mad. Lu Jia Ning so really headstrong. She's determined to get everything the way she likes it, which I really like about her. She's like the rock of the dorm. Lu Xin Xin is funny and a foodie, kind of like me. She takes things to heart so she can be easily swayed. Xue Chong Yang was very intimidated in her first year. She's like the wallflower of the show; she barely has any screen time and honestly is very underrated. Song Siyi might be handsome and a sweetheart, but he was kind of trying too hard. I wonder if Song Siyi and Xue Chong Yang ever got together; but probably not, since in the epilogue he didn't appear and wasn't even mentioned. Ling Wei was just straight up confused through this whole show. Jia Si Cheng's feelings were honestly the most raw out of anyone. He cared about sculpting a lot. Ling Wei may have been his friend, but he liked her a lot. I honestly felt really happy that Qin Shen, Ling Wei, and Jia Si Cheng are happy and are friends again.

I'm not going to write a long review for this drama. Overall, this is a cute university life drama, with art as the main theme. There are plenty of cute and "gaga" scenes between the main male and female leads. I like how the main lead (Qin Shen) looks so cool and like he doesn't care about the female lead, but he does care about Yuan Qian in his own special way that to me is kinda cute. This drama is so light. There is no conflict, no villain character that makes your blood boil and no complicated relationship or plot twist. Just a light and entertaining drama. I really like the dorm roommates of both Qin Shen and Yuan Qian. They are so funny and adorable, especially Chen Qi Nan. They are the flavors of this drama for me and i look forward to scenes with them more than the main leads because they are so funny and make me laugh so hard. Music is just okay, not one that make you reminisce about the drama and go gaga all over again. As for Rewatch value, I might rewatch some scenes (particularly the ones with the roommates). Highly recommended for those who like Put Your Head On My Shoulder, Love O2O and A Love So Beautiful, as they have similar vibes (to me at least :))

Sweet little love story but there are some missing parts

As drama has nothing new to show ,same college life then lead falls to each other between this they face many hardships but in this story they individually didn't face the hardship but together they fight for their major (sculpture design ).
There are some incomplete parts in the story ,I think so
1.they started the story with introduction of the character and leads met eachother, when girl lead friend's did some mischief work and when they had been scolding at that time entering of mislead and then female lead started narrated the story ,I thought the story would goes in flashback but it was not like that so I thinkbfirst episode is not perfectly link with other episodes .
2 I thought male lead would have some story with her mother ,some emotions related story but they didn't show much.
3. Then with his grandmother he didn't have much scenes I thought ,his grandmother would give some spark to their story in the positive way but nothing happened

What I like the most in the drama that is in last they shown main lead's friend get coupled, they looked so cute together . I like to see their story more but that was a last episode but it is okay .
As a whole it is good drama.

Enjoyable Light-hearted Romance and Feel good Drama : )

I am a very big fan of Fluffy Romance and Rom-Com. And this drama really fulfilled all my expectations. I loved the vibe it gave. I actually watched this last year when it actually streamed but wasn't much experienced in drama field and hence didn't get to write a review.
On a personal note, this was my 2nd drama after I entered the drama world and I loved this. I would've at least re-watched it 5 to 7 times. It doesn't have much serious stuff happening and that's why I love it.
Being a very big fan of Run Ze and Aaron, the cast was really satisfying! It had the colourful youth aura and a touch of friendship, which made it even more addictable.
I also loved the OST so much. It really highlighted the small, cute moments between the ML and FL.
And most importantly, I had my first SML Syndrome in this one lol. Like, literally, Run Ze was so cute and sweet, all lovely and caring for Qian. There are moments that I even wanted her to just go on with Run Ze lmao.
I also really liked the Jealousy parts. The cute reactions of Aaron were priceless. But, his acting could've been better. I wasn't whole satisfied with it.
Overall, it was a cute, realistic love story between a girl and a boy of the same university.
Some moments of the ML and FL were priceless and soo cute. It can't be lovely anymore. The whole time I was like:
"OMG Awww.... Why so cute?!". Maybe I am exaggerating it but Being my early dramas, I don't have any objective thoughts on it. Just shared my perspective on it! Hope it helped!!

So I watched this drama because of high reviews and apparently this is one of those good contemporary dramas of 2020. This is a light youth sort of coming of age drama about two people who have been single their entire life in a college backdrop. I guess the premise is not that new and the story is just okay. This is not in my favorite list but you can watch this drama as a filler drama I guess? I enjoyed some parts but mostly I skimmed right through it. I like Irene Song's chemistry with Gala Zhang in the best of you in my mind to be honest. But yep, this is a simple drama to watch.
