Love Designer (2020)

Annoying and lousy

This drama starts off well, but after only 2 episodes, it starts getting pretty boring and dragging. There's much annoying stuff in this drama.
From ML's little sis, and FL's mom to the 2nd lead, this drama is full of irritating characters. The ringtone has more screentime than the actors. All the characters have the same ringtone(including FL's mom). The second lead couple appears more on screen than the main lead. It looks like they are central figure of the whole show. The sub-plots are boring and dragging. There was no need to make 45 episodes. The whole show could have been done within 28-30 episodes.

To cut the crap, there is only one reason why you should give this drama a try: CHEMISTRY.

Love Advanced Customization is the only on-going drama that I followed this month, and I am so glad I did. It was not all for the positive reason though. But I think this is the kind of drama which you have to take time in order for you to indulge in.

This drama, first, is so great with their leads' acting you almost believe they were really dating. The main leads's love story is realistic, the way they potrayed their dating life is believeable. And for that reason, this drama is bearable.

Now, here's why you have to take time to watch this drama: the plot. It's nothing new, it's predicatable, and borderline boring. And that is the only problem with this drama.
I, myself, am lucky. Because this was an on-going drama, meaning I can only watch up to 2 episodes a day. With this limitation, I didn't find it that boring. I enjoyed the chemistry that I almost forget that the draggy plot is really a problem.

The not-so good plot was being "saved" not only by all the believable acting but also the ost. The OST for this drama is very good. It's been awhile I fell in love with C-drama OST.

So, if you want a realistic dating approach in a drama with the best chemistry ever, then you should give this drama a try. My only tip is do not binge-watching it or else you would find it boring later.

I am dropping this show after 14 episodes. It started out great, Dilraba was stunning in her wedding dress and red lipstick when she met the hero in his all-black biker outfit.

I started getting disappointed because of the lacklustre acting and uncharismatic characters. I like Dilraba but her acting here seems off and I had a hard time believing her. The ML didn't charm me at all and I don't get the capable, confident man vibes from him. Their romance has been pretty boring with no swoon-worthy moments or humour to make up for it. Overall, not a fan of the leads or the interaction between them. The secondary couple is fairly cute but they didn't hold my attention for long.

The plot is pretty boring. It's just the same old annoying obsessed SFL trying to create problems for the couple and trying to keep the man to herself no matter how many times he tells her he isn't interested. It's outdated and annoying. The ML in his so-called "honest approach" keeps discouraging the FL. Yea apparently he is doing it to let her improve but I'm just done with his arrogant behaviour.

Long and not that interesting

Can't really blame the cast, their acting was good. Chemistry between leads was good. The story was just a ton of filler, with not much romance nor anything that interesting happening. The initial storyline is mostly about business. It's not nothing all that exciting to begin with, then throw in annoying parents, a bunch of boring side characters, a side character romance, and the same old crazy chick that thinks she is perfect and can force a guy to fall in love with her when he clearly finds her just shy of repulsive and this is what you get. Tried so hard to like, because I like the two lead actors, but the story is simply bland and way too long. The ost is forgettable, and has zero rewatch value. Even tried to read episode recaps to see if it gets more exciting, and sure enough it continues to plod along at the same boring pace with more drawn out side character stories that are sadly boring as well.

ML's character is a super Jerk

I came into this show expecting nothing, but liking the clothing designer concept and the FL. I watched 10 episodes and even skipped to episode 14, but couldn't go further.

LIKES:
The FL's character and how the actress portrayed her.
The 2nd couple [FL's best friend and Glasses Boy (Allergic to cats guy)].
Cinematography was great and production was smooth.
OST was not over powering and I liked even the music used for the ring tones, but nothing stood out.
FX were minimal, but not overdone.

DISLIKES:
Male lead acted his part well, but I don't like how the writers made his character an over-the-top insufferable jerk. There was nothing charming about him. He deserves a woman like Luna to be his wife.
Also didn't like that they had the FL always walking in the middle of the road, like she's suicidal or just plain stupid.
Too many little side stories that weren't well written, which bogged down everything and no wonder it's 45 episodes long.
Too much product placement and some of it not even well done. (However a lot of dramas in China seem to have this issue too.)
The message of the show seemed to be more "don't try anything that you like, because you'll just fail."

OVERALL:
I don't know why everyone rated this so high, the ML's character has so many red flags! I wont watch this again and I don't recommend it at all. It was a waste of time. I kept hoping the ML's character would have some growth and not keep being such an @sshole, but he never changed.

To begin with, the storyline is very similar to "Stay With Me," in which both main roles are fashion designers and the overall story plot is similar. I really enjoyed stay with me, and I definitely think this is a binge-worthy drama to watch. The main lead is about a fashion designer that has been scammed by her ex-boyfriend and as the story thickens, she ended up in a lawsuit with the male main lead, and they had a rough beginning but I think this introduction to each character makes the story more interesting. I've only seen 2 episodes so far, and they have me hooked; definitely recommend this to watch during quartine.
