Fu Sheng Zhi Xing Chen (2023)

Toxic badass FL, Doormat ML ..

At the beginning I was so happy finally The FL has a Self_esteem, Dignity, freestyle
- I'm tired of Stupid, weak and Humiliated Girls who lose her mind, insults herself with Embarrassing acts for crush And love in C-Dramas ..
but Unfortunately, Good things never Complete ..The ML is a Doormat, keep insulting himself for Her. fr !!!!

I think Chinese Writers have some issues, I piss off of Thier writing, Either they create an Arrogant ML insults the stupid FL OR a toxic badass FL insults the dump ML . They have to know what DIGNITY and Healthy relationship means.
I bet no one of those writers were in a relationship Before that's why they don't know HOW to write a Light and creative Love story

I really can't handle FL , she keep hanging out with her Ex then blame ML for literally NOTHING and made him apologize !!!!!!!

FL take advantage of all Males around her (Her boyfriend, Ex , Firefighters.....etc) for her Damn store ..

I like ML's friend he's so cute and funny.. the decorations in drama are amazing as well , FL outfits are chef kiss .. this is the only things I like

for me I didn't see any romance scene made.me flutter or something ..
- let's see EP 14, hope it will get better but I don't think so

Hard pass

This is suppose to be a sweet romance series but I couldn’t really like it so much. The female lead seeme to play so many games that I started to find her self centered. Of course we have access to her internal monologue but it didn’t help her character. I found her manipulative and arrogant. She would do things that would bother her partner and she turns it around and he ends up apologizing to her even thought she should be apologizing. The second encounter was terrible as well. She was rude and snobbish to get rid of him. Even the 2FL character was annoying.

Sorry, I don’t find the character’s behavior cute, innocent or funny, just arrogant, judgemental and more. I’ll admit, she got better but the games killed it for me.

It wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad lol they main characters were cute, I loved the relationship between the best friends, no toxic family, a lame ex if I do say so myself but we love a golden retriever boyfriend, we stan a strong female lead, we love great friends and communication and it was kind of all over the place but also you were truly just in it for the chemistry and couples. It is one of those turn your brain off but also a rip off of majority of dramas this year with public workers and doctors and etc. Lol. Overall, I enjoyed it, I wouldn't rewatch it but I'm glad I fit it in to everything I wanted to watch this year.

Well…. Where to start. I was excited to start this drama given the seasoned actors. But it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. There’s no real angst in this drama… any angst is short lived or so questionable that I’d spend an episode trying to figure out what is wrong with the leads and writing my comments on Viki, only to delete them so I’m not being too negative… after all it is almost Christmas!!

Initially, I thought the writers were supporting independent and confident women… but then it seemed more like reverse psychology . I’m suddenly sympathizing with the men who are at home cleaning the ladies’ apartments, apologizing for everything, and basically groveling half the time. Was this done on purpose? All the ladies, including the BFF whose sudden transformation was hard to buy into were SO high maintenance . It was overboard.

For such experienced actors, this drama seemed stilted. I FF’d through moments that really shouldn’t have been cringey but sadly there were a lot of those moments. But overall it was ok I guess. Probably lower than at 6.5 but I feel bad for the men so to not further beat them down I’ll leave it at a 6.5!!

More like Got Bored of You..

Labeled as a romantic comedy, the series falls short of delivering the essential elements that define a romcom. Ironically, the only comedic aspect was enduring the entire series.

The series begins with an intriguing setup and some potential for a compelling dynamic between the leads. However, it quickly becomes repetitive, relying on the same trope in nearly every episode: the male lead’s persistent efforts to impress or get closer to the female lead are repeatedly dismissed, even as she secretly admires him. What starts as playfully charming soon grows stale, as the narrative fails to evolve or bring fresh elements to their interactions.

Newly introduced characters, like the male lead’s childhood friend or the female lead’s ex-boyfriend, add little to the story. Instead of deepening the plot, they exist purely to create unnecessary misunderstandings, making the experience even more frustrating.

At some point, I found myself paying more attention to the supporting cast. Despite the weak script and predictable story, their performances managed to inject some unexpected intrigue and humor.

The female lead is portrayed as a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants, a character type with such a great potential. Unfortunately, her portrayal feels overly rigid which makes it difficult to connect with her or even root for her. By the time she finally begins to soften toward the male lead, the chance for genuine emotional investment feels squandered. Similarly, the male lead, despite his seemingly strong demeanor, is overly passive and reactive, which is… frustrating to watch, to say the least.

Its lack of character development, repetitive storytelling and shallow conflicts left me completely disengaged, at least the actors were a feast for the eyes.

Unlikeable Female Lead

This series did not seem interesting, but decided to watch it since there's nothing good to watch lately. I was looking for a light-hearted rom-com. This had potential failed due to the unlikeable female lead and lack of chemistry between the leads. I was so tempted to drop during every episode, but I suffered thru the whole thing, skipping A LOT.

PROS:
- Two very good looking leads
- ML's grandfather was the best character, genuine and likeable

CONS:
- FL is unbearable. Several other reviewers had the same perspective - she was just not worth all the efforts put in by the ML. She was arrogant, overly stubborn, manipulative, and downright rude at times. She could not convey any redeeming qualities other than intelligence and ambition. She is stunningly gorgeous (probably one of the most beautiful actresses in Cdramas) - but this is the 3rd time I've seen this actress in a series, she is NOT a good actress.
- ML acting wasn't terrible but the character was inconsistent. He started out as a tough, stoic rescue mission leader, former counter-terrorism unit (almost 30 yrs old), but then somehow evolved into a wimpy, love-struck teenager with no boundaries. Followed the FL around like a puppy, tolerated all her insults and games w/out faulting her.
- Leads w/ NO chemistry at all
- All support actors were super annoying, especially the 2nd FL, the BFF. She was intolerable too. And the outdated trope that I can't stand...a good looking person, add glasses to make them look nerdy like the 'ugly duckling' and do makeover removing glasses they suddenly become a beautiful swan. Insulting to viewers.

Dont' waste your time

got a crush on you - Xu kaicheng.

Another excellent performance by kaicheng. He is steady, unique, adpots a noble, calm, professional, heartwarming posture. Humble, sharp, responses v beautifully, courteously with other colleagues. I need an exquiistev gem of an actor. The setti g is elegant, v realistic. Kai is able to stand out as male lead. v v grateful this drama is finally released. The other actors are v good too. Teamwork is excellent. Music, production, directing are excellent. There is much rewatch value. Really like the setting, storyline, KUDOS to the team and esp kaicheng - always a joy to watch him act. Look forward to many many more shows with his newly signed agency. Kai Cheng is v v handsome, v tall, keep up yr good work.

If you want to watch some good comedy drama with zero sense, you can go ahead!

Seriously, I could barely survive this drama because of three simple reasons : FL's chef kissed costumes, parallel pair's tom and jerry like cute relationship and comedy.

I felt zero chemistry between Main leads though they are individually mind blowing actors. I don't know it is just me who feels like this but yeah this was the most disappointing part of the drama.

The drama seems forced, like the whole plot was made forcefully just for the sake of making a drama with two absolutely gorgeous looking actors sorry but that didn't help much!

There are just too many loopholes that you just cannot ignore in the storyline.

If you want to watch good comedy then you can try this one for sure.
