hi everyone ~ this is Xiao Tian~
I've been so bored lately
And finally! We've come across a humorous romance drama!
made from the book 《Finally I get you》
this is a story about the romance between a cute chief and a cold-looking "uncle"
the most important thing about the romance between a young woman and a mature man is how couple liked they look
the actresses are all very good looking so the main point is put onto the "uncle"
it's like how Li Yitong and Chen JianBin who has a 20 year age gap
is more like the romance between a grandpa and a young girl
Um... very nice........
in the movie version, Zhou DongYu and Jin Chengwu has a 21 year age gap
but he is Jin ChengWu, the ideal husband for many women
in the drama version, Zhao LuSi and Lin YuShen only has an 18 year age gap
the original story did a very nice job
and the main characters chosen in both film versions are great as well
as I thought this drama would be a romance themed, but it went the route of a comedy film
our female lead is a young and beautiful chef's...
assistant
the food she makes is great, but she was always bullied by her manager and the head chef
there was one time where she wanted to help her friend take revenge on a play boy
she brought a hammer and wanted to destroy the play boy's car
but once she saw that his car was a Ferarri
and the security camera that has her filmed
the image of her getting arrested plays in her mind
to lower the expenses of her crime, she chooses to shatter Flour onto the car to make it dirty
just then, she realizes that she was in the wrong parking lot
she misheard parking lot B for D and committed to the wrong car
just as she wanted to run away, the car owner pops up
catching her red-handed
just then, a vicious idea pops up in her head
I thought she would use her beauty to charm the owner
"mistakes, all a mistake"
" Stop there miss"
she was surprised that the man also spoke korean
and then she uses her plan B
" I can speak a little Chinese"
but once again, her was out seen by him
" I just heard your conversations"
and yup, this man is our male lead
his parents divorced when he was young. His father doesn't love him and his mother was always busy
looks like we have another character set of a man who has everything but love
this type of rich and glorious man especially middle-aged rich and glorious man
we all understand that this type of character can get very greasy if not careful
a smart thing that the author did to him was
whenever he tries to show off, he will always be stopped
for example, when he was about to buy a hotel, he begins picking on stuff
Male lead: " won't that color of the building in the view be harmful to the sleep of the customers?"
Assistant: " that is the government building"
ML: " No wonder it's so victorious"
when he was very urgent to eat food made by the female lead
he got very hungry as he waits
when his assistant asked if he should go chase their order,
he declined and wanted to show off again
saying that he doesn't want others to know that he really enjoys the meals made by the female lead
but then was out looked by his assistant
" but you did finished every single piece of rice last time!"
it's as if he licked the plate clean
in other films, the male lead thinks that the female lead likes him and wants him
but in this drama, he thinks that the female lead is restrained of him
the setting of this story is that once he meets her, he becomes very unlucky
when he walks up to stop her from cleaning his car...
he angrily drives away
he was standing next to a pool taking a phone call
the female lead saw that the balloon was out of the air and decided to activate the pump
but then the inflated balloon knocks him into the pool
he secritly went to drink mushroom soup but didn't know that it wasn't cooked yet causing him to become food poisoned falling to the ground.
she then fed him with dish cleaning to make him vomit
she slaps his face and presses his stomache
the video of him burping out bubbles was spread into his company's group chat which made him feel very awkward
his assistant comforts him by saying, if you don't show your awkwardness, no one would know
as he was less awkward and went out for supper
his workers all came to apologize to him
he was awkward out and wanted to run back to his room but then he forgot to bring his room card
when he was finally able to enjoy his favorite food
but then he was accidentally hit by the female lead when she wanted to aim at a criminal
every time I see him helplessly lying on his bead
I just want to laugh
he asked for her to pay him for this
since then our female lead began being his personal chef
but in reality, they began their dating life
the leads of this drama were chosen very well
these two had just looked like a couple
Zhao LuSi is very loved by the audience and I really love sweet girls~
she's very suitable for a quirky character
when she acts humourous scenes, she is very natural and cute
the way she looks when she cries just makes me laugh LOL
she is also able to change her tone when speaking
in the begining when she was begging the male lead to give her money, she sounded very sweet with a Taiwanese accent
after he paid her, she suddenly changed to an oppressive tone
Zhao LuSi's acting really pushed this character to another level
the part where the male lead works to get her back is a script loved by the audience
but like moving next to her
when he sees that she is on a date with another man and began stalking her
and when they were arguing, he gave her a sudden kiss
but stuff like this can be seen as sexual harassment if they aren't careful enough
and might cause female viewers to feel uncomfortable, so what can they do?
first, they use humor to make it comfortable to watch
for example, him moving next to her is because
the crush between them is almost going to explode as in they are almost at the point to officially date
the female lead already fell in love with him and asked him "what am I to you"
he really wanted to say that " you are my girlfriend!"
but the words just can't come out
but then he takes action to express himself by moving in next door
and also gave her a gift of a cookie called the Wive's cookie
she was really happy and thought to herself "what's the meaning of this gift?" " is he going to officially ask me out?"
male lead: " I also gave the same thing to the old man next door"
Female lead: " you don't know that he has diabetes???"
Male lead: " his was unsweetened"
and this totally angered her
and when he was stalking her, it was very funny
he found out that her wish written on the wish board
her wish of becoming pretty overnight
he took another board and tied it with her's
and wrote on it " alright then"
on a side note, Lin YuShen's acting was very on point knowing when to stop
which made the scenes seem less like committing an assault
and another note is that
he is very suitable for acting a dorky cold looking boss
his character in was rebellious but had a deep love for his girl
but the most memorable character for me was in
Lin YuShen acted as the second son from a wealthy family
he had the style of a polished scoundrels
his love line in this drama was with a princess of another wealthy family
she was a smart and beautiful woman. if you put her into present-day dramas she wouldn't be outdated
they first meet at a fencing hall
Our spoiled prince was very rude and had discrimination towards her
she was very angry at him, so she invited him to a battle
and then winning him in front of his sister
she left a few comments and then leaves with handsomeness
and since then, she had left a great impression on him
and then these 2 began a period of testing each other's feelings
in the end, these 2 went into marriage for the benefit of their family's business
after marriage, her father did not allow her to go back to work
so her only choice was to be a full-time wife and mother
but her husband would never come home to sleep and would rather go attend business meals
or he would just be outside, he just doesn't want to stay with her
she would only sit at home for 16 hours with nothing to do
the naturally caused arguments within the couple
the man thinks that his wife is too controlling while the wife thinks that her husband is not respecting her
facing such a cold-hearted husband, she finally exploded
she picks up a golf racked and I thought she would beat him up with it
but she aggressively told her husband " I will pay you 5 million dollars"
and then she went downstairs and begun smashing her husband's car
seeing that her wife is abusing his car, he leaves a smirk on his face
there must be something wrong with his way of loving his wife
her inlaws were surprised by her actions and on the next day
she was put into her husband's company as the CEO and gained back her status as a strong and independent women
she was very happy to go back to work
and took the position her husband once had and put her demands in front of her husband
" I believe that having a job is the most important"
" from now on, I will spend 16 hours on my job"
" it is more meaningful then wasting 16 hours at home just to wait for your return"
this act allowed the domination heart of her husband to rise again
this drama also talks about their divorce when she was pregnant and then the couple reunited after 4 years
and the storyline goes on with her husband taking great effort to reunite with her ect.
it's a great drama to watch! and I know, I got far off-topic here
the drama is called aired in 2007 if you're interested feel free to watch it!
overall, is an easy-going and humourous drama that you can watch for 8 episodes straight without being tired
at the very begining, you would be strucked with laughter, and its a good accommodation for your meals
I would suggest that you watch it when your eating because there are a lot of scenes that showcase food
I had a drolling mouth when watching it and suddenly, the plain bun in my hands are not tasty anymore
it seems like both the leads did a good job of maintaining their character
our female lead loves to help her friends and would not fall under society oppressions at unique times
the male lead is not oily and is very funny
overall, it's a great romance drama and I recommend it
alright then, this will be it for today~
