This one popped up on my YT recommended feed. I imagine it will be airing soon since there are proper trailers about.

I will definitely be looking at this once it broadcasts. Chen Zheyuan is a favourite. 

 

Tag me just in case when it starts.

@IpohBanana @40somethingahjumma Same here! It looks like it'll be fun and I love Chen Zheyuan so his dramas are always a watch. Hopefully, it'll air in the earlier half of the summer months!

[themarchioness]

Looking forward to this one as well. Looks cute with a lot of potential for humor! 

[IpohBanana]

@Tofu @40somethingahjumma yes, caught my attention immediately. The trailer was such a laugh. I heard it's part of their Sweet On series, should be in the next few months. Yay!

These two are so pretty together. 

 

Airing Schedule

It'll be airing for a week. 

 

[NiteWalker]

both look pretty good together with the Bazaar collections

I'll tune it later. That bazaar posters are the best, they look so good together. Hooefully this wont be too cheesy like sweet tooth, haha, I just realized it is categorized as sweet on series on iqiyi which means it full of sweets, it's not good if it is too sweet. But the trailers looks fun.

@Alice Wonderland @Tofu @NiteWalker @themarchioness watched first 6 eps... am not particularly excited nor am I particularly put off by anything. ML's acting is ok but FL's feels contrived. And despite the title Mr Bad, he isn't bad, just happened to be a villain in a novel she wrote but frankly whatever he did wasn't that villainous and his behaviour may not have made him prince charming in her world but wasn't that despicable either. 

[Tofu]

@IpohBanana I binged through all the episodes so far. I don't care as much for the second couple so I've skipped a good portion of their scenes. 

 

Chen Zheyuan and Shen Yue are adorable together. They have good energy but I agreed that some of their expressions seems unnatural. I don't know if that's because the genre is part comedy so some expressions may be intentionally exaggerated? 

 

I'll still keep watching because I like both lead actors. Chen Zheyuan is getting a lot of love these days and I'm loving it! He's one of favorite young Chinese actor after Wu Lei. I find myself watching dramas just for them because I know they will deliver in the acting department (I know this one for Chen Zheyuan is not one of his best). 

 

 

[Tofu]

This interview is so awkward because of their short answers but so cute too. They really do have good chemistry and get along well. 

 

Hopefully, iQIYI releases part two of their interview soon!

 

This BTS video, Xiao Wu Di is going to help Nan Xing overcome her trauma!

@TofuChen Zhe Yuan's CPU wasn't working that day when they did the interviews 

I've never watched Shen Yue before, first time for me, I find that there is a certain awkardness to her looks, some people look less photogenic on camera and IMO she is one of those (when she smiles, it looks like she is smirking). I still prefer him with Rainbox Xu, they were truly adorable together, in Our Secret, and reminiscent of school going kids. I find his acting less natural than in that drama. I heard that he has done Hello Dear Ancestors, similar time travel trope, so this should not be too difficult for him.

 

They look far more relaxed here

I'm watching this too. Haha, yea right. He's not that bad as the title said. For now I like it since he's still being not too nice at her. Let's see if they're officially a couple later, will it still get me interested or not. Hopefully it will, it's light and no need to think hars for this. And short series too.
