Chinese dramas have that same feel of the unattainable hero and how he falls in love with the lady love. Circumstances might try to rip them apart, but they stay true. I liked that this drama had characters that weren't afraid to get a bit mean with their enemies. If they were upset, they were upset and lashed back. I liked how human they were. I really loved how nerdy everyone was and how much time they spent on the computer haha. Also, so much of the drama happens online. Chinese kisses, are way better than Korean kisses. I really liked the way the drama threw in some really random relationship factors and responses. Wei Wei - female lead Our heroine studies computer science and so do her friends. “No wonder the girls in science and engineering have such a hard time getting boyfriends. We can handle electric work ourselves. What do we need boys for?” I really got into this drama. As per usual with Chinese dramas, I skipped over some of the girl friendships, because they are so run of the mill and uninteresting. A ditzy side kick for the oh-so-sensible heroine. I don't mind the somewhat superior heroine in Chinese dramas. It is a good change from Korean dramas that prefer the klutz over the class. Wei Wei is competent and confident. She rarely needs rescuing. And she faces off well against other women who try and attack her. She's not cowed easily. I couldn’t believe some of her snide remarks. It was great. I liked her rationale when she was dealing with Xiao Nai. Even though she's so awkward around him, I liked how logical she was with her overthinking and also how she was sometimes cute. I enjoyed her problem solving abilities. Xiao Nai - male lead Xiao Nai is the hero and he's very kind and polite to Wei Wei but pretty arrogant and nonchalant with everyone else. I loved that he said he could change for her. I like that he's direct with her. I like that right from the start he lets Wei Wei have her say and make her own decisions and respects them. He continues to do that throughout the relationship. I'm never a fan of the wrist grabs but if you have to include it, Xiao Nai does it right. It's not aggressive or domineering, it's almost like his main motivation is that he wants to touch her. And he does it just once. Also, he might make those protective moves but he explains them right away. I dislike heroes who are good at everything. I love love love that Xiao Nai is poor. Although I was really relieved to see that the show demonstrated that Xiao Nai was a team player in sport and wasn't just a glory hog. I really love how Xiao Nai knew how important Wei Wei's friendship with the girls was. Xiao Nai doesn't let any unnecessary drama shake him in the least. “Why wouldn't I trust my girlfriend?” I really love that Xiao Nai doesn't mollycoddle her. “Wei Wei, I might be adding to your troubles by telling you this, but I think it's something you'd want to solve on your own.” Romance “So how will you measure our affection level, then?” “I'll develop a model for calculating it.” Xiao Nai is not caveman jealous. “Your wife is coming onto me.” “Enjoy it. I don't mind.” “What a well-coordinated couple!” The most adorable thing was that Xiao Nai carried around Wei Wei's cactus that he was looking after. Also, how he pays attention every time she touches him. This actor is really good at kissing haha. I like how he is subtle about showing us that he knows that he is lucky to have Wei Wei. Wei Wei - “I'll have a sack and a bat ready.” Xiao Nai - “If you're going to beat someone up, you should bring me with you.” “You're going to help me?” “No, I'll be the lookout.” The Game I like how important the game was to the characters. How they had morales about how they lived their character's lives. I had to laugh as real life was leaked into the game as well. “You're still killing me? I'll just go do laundry.” “That's enough. I won't waste my internet and electricity on you.” Yu Ban Sha I'm not used to seeing actors as good as this guy in Cdramas. He really sold his part. “We should be humble. Our target isn't the prettiest girl. It's her friends we should be after.” Bad Guy I kind of like that the bad guy messed around with her support systems and how she had this conflict of how she didn't know who to trust. It wasn't the usual queen bee with her posse. Part of the drama was that she didn't know who her posse was. Meng Yi Ran is way better than the average stale bad guy. KO's relationship with Hao Mei is so hilarious. He looks like he doesn't care, or that he's constantly angry with the world but he just goes along with Hao Mei's bubbly personality. Kdrama vs. Chinese Drama Debate In Chinese dramas, things get solved in one conversation. I feel like there's no process. People don't just change their minds because of words. I still dislike the lack of emotion on Chinese actors faces. But this time round, is my third Chinese drama and I think I'm getting used to it. Chinese dramas take themselves so seriously. When they film and show the characters I just feel like they're so pushing the concept of how perfect they are. I felt like the characters still had that dignified barrier between them. That they still didn’t feel comfortable with each other. The Chinese characters seem much more dignified. I thought I’d never view my culture background from that perspective. Parents are not very important in this drama. In Kdramas, parents are everything.
