Your Highness, The Class Monitor (2019)

Bad Writing and casting

First of all let me get this out of the way; I am a Xing Fei fan. I like her in the vast majority of the Storylines she is in, but this one. You all gave her a weak script and Storyline to work with.

This Storyline misses the mark by a mile. Bad writing and producing causes this Drama to derail. I am trying my best to finish this Drama. They have the typical Chinese storyline with the Rich, spoiled , can get his way, arrogant, needs his butt beat, but doesn't happen ML. They also have the poor, mumbling, started out strong meets the rich guy and becomes weak minded FL. This is 21st Century and some Chinese Producers/Writers are making Dramas where the female are subservient to the Males. Why? They always play the rich verses poor, with the rich male getting everything and does nothing wrong. Just in case you don't know, it's called Class Warfare.

Chemistry between Su Nian Nian and Gu Zi Chen is not there. It's a forced romance (because the Produces made it) and it is evident. Gu Zi Chen looks like he prefer men than females. He has a look about him that says I am a pretty boy. Every time he shows up you want to smack him in the face and say get real. Su Nian Nian and Ye Xing Yu would of been a better fit; but in Chinese Storyline typically the rich, arrogant man wins out. Of course the target audience for this type of Drama is for teenagers, because they don't know better.

Su Nian Nian started out as a strong minded , independent female, but as the Drama continues you can see her change. What a shame. She gets a make over and all of a sudden Gu Zi Chen likes her. Really!? She could have been such a positive for young female roles. Chinese writers had the opportunity to make a great female role models and they could of shown that strong minded, independent young females could of had it all too. They miss that mark. Please don't tell me that it's Eastern values verses Western values. I refuse to believe that Eastern women wants to be yanked on, demeaned and a man get in their faces with nothing being done. The father is not listening to his daughter. He just want her to go to that college. Just to pump in the ratings they add a rival in the mix.

I have to asked this question to the Producer and Writers: Do you have a mother or Daughters? Would you like for them to be treated or portrayed like the Female Leads you portray?

Last 3 episodes were the best of the drama. I kept hoping the drama would get better, but it didn't. Best part of the drama, was the scenery. There is more to a drama or storyline than a "So called Cute Male lead" or a "beautiful Female lead". There must be good editing, chemistry, writing and producing, there weren't.

I can't recommend this Drama to be watched. I will not watch it again.
