Please Feel At Ease Mr. Ling (2021)

a cute fluff drama to watch

It has the “Forget You, Remember Love” vibes, where the male lead got into an accident and supposedly forgotten about his life. However, in this show, he lied, and was avoiding his enemy. I pretty much dislike the way he um, for the lack of a better word, forced/ pushed himself onto the girl? Idk, like the whole courtship doesn’t entice me. He kissed her without confessing, and he wasn’t even sure if she felt the same as him when he did it. It just felt very weird tbh, but okay, since the girl felt the same too, guess it’s cool? I do like that Anxin trusted Lingyue in a few occasions though she had certain insecurities sometimes too. She had a pretty tough life, so I’m glad she met the person for her, and am living a happy life after.

The other couples in this drama are cute too!!! Honestly, I feel that Xiner’s “love” for Lingyue isn’t that, more of like an obsession of wanting to win Anxin, so I could understand her sudden change of feelings for Lingsheng. Considering the fact that Lingsheng has AWAYS been there since she was young, she made a good choice choosing him, and finally seeing his love for her. I also feel that because he has always been there for her, she probably liked her for a while before acknowledging it & finally letting go of her obsession.

My rating for plot is low is mainly due to the fact that there isn’t much up and down to the show? There wasn’t really any moment which tugged my heart too, it’s just full fluff, which is cute I guess, but may tend to boring for some (which I did find it boring at some point of time). The pace of romance was quick, which is good. The character development for each characters is a plus point too.

Zhao Lusi’s acting is pretty good, liked her in dating in the kitchen. Liu Te was pretty decent too, while they’re cute together, I don’t really ship them tbh. I know many people will have a different opinion for this. However, to me, their chemistry ain’t the best. I’ve seen better so yeah…

Honestly, I wouldn’t rewatch this show, maybe only the cute scenes?

Overall, it’s a decent show but it’s not that awesome I guess. Though the plot twist did make it interesting though. Someone who is always so calm and nice may not turn out to be a good person while someone who is always mean and annoying may not hold as much grudges as we think they would. Anyway, I love c-drama cos they usually have a happy ending, and this one do too hehe ❤️ I would say, watch it if you like zhao lusi, she’s cute & her acting is decent. But if not, you can just skip this drama I guess

An underrated great story

I almost canceled my plan to watch this drama due to many negative comments in the comment section
But, after finishing this drama, I think this drama is very worth to watch... especially for those who are like me that hates unnneccessary stupid break up.
There is no break up or stupid 'sacrifice in the name of love in this drama, yes there is a bit cool down period, but it is totally managable

Other than 2 main leads, I love how the other couple (the bodyguard and the doctor) develop their relationship

I also love the plot twist near the end (which already hinted in the early episodes)

This drama is totally worth to watch

A pretty solid drama, with lots of sweet moments.

First, pls ignore the low ratings and poor reviews and watch it yourself. Its a pretty sweet drama, with simmering chemistry between the leads. It is well paced and not draggy atall. I did skip some scenes , most of the ones that Ling Cheng kept following the Gu girl like a lost puppy, it throughly irritated me, i couldnt stand it, but then towards the end his obssession was justified, so not bad atall. And the plot twist, whew! I didnt see that coming. Overall pretty good watch. I kept smiling all through. Plenty kisses too. And my God the ML is just too handsome its a crime honestly . Lol. Watch through your own lens and opinion. The 8.0 rating is well deserved.
I don't know how My girl ZLS does it. She just pulls out the chemistry in who ever she is paired with, not matter the age, or genre. She is just too good. I watch any drama she acts in doesn't matter the ratings, i know she would flesh out her character so well.

A Delightful Drama with a Dash of Frustration: "Please Feel at Ease Mr Ling"

If you're looking for a good drama to sink your teeth into, "Please Feel at Ease Mr Ling" is definitely worth checking out. Personally, I found it to be an enjoyable watch with a few quirks that added both charm and frustration to the storyline.

One of the highlights of the drama is the lead characters. Their performances truly shine, and I found myself rooting for them throughout. However, I must admit that the female lead (FL) had her moments of stubbornness, occasionally opting for the frustrating "radio silence" approach. It was enough to give the poor young man in the story a few unnecessary heart attacks. Nonetheless, their chemistry is undeniable, and their interactions kept me engaged.

The story progression is another strong point. It strikes a good balance between being neither too fast nor too slow. This allows the plot to unfold naturally, keeping the viewer hooked without overwhelming them. I appreciated this well-paced narrative approach, as it provided ample time for character development and emotional depth.

Now, let's talk about the Gu family (excluding the FL). Prepare yourself, as you'll likely find yourself harboring an intense dislike for them. Never before have I hated an entire fictional family the way I hated the Gu's. Each member seemed to lack redeeming qualities, and their mere presence on screen became an annoyance. Gu Xin'er, in particular, really pushed my buttons. Kudos to the show's creators for crafting such compelling antagonists that evoke such strong emotions from the audience.

There was one aspect that didn't quite sit right with me, though. Xin'er's decision to wait for a that guy who had LITERALLY ATTEMPTED MURDER struck me as questionable. The drama seemed to downplay his actions, chalking them up to mere spoiling. This choice left me feeling a bit uneasy, as I hoped for more consequences of one's action storyline.

This remains an overall enjoyable drama. The chemistry between the main leads is undeniably electric, and their performances left me eagerly anticipating their future projects. If you're looking for a series that strikes a good balance between romance, drama, and a touch of frustration, I definitely recommend giving this one a watch.

What's the meaning of waiting

Watch this for 2022 Alphabet Drama / Movie Challenge. In the end I quite enjoy the show.

I think like mostly people who wrote the review here, I also find this drama quite predictable, cliché & nothing too special & quite frankly a huge plot holes. But actually this drama still can give us quite a surprise in the end. Let's talk drama!

What I can predict:
* The villain behind the Gu An Xin (AX) sufferings all that year. But unfortunately until the end they never really discus the main reason why she did it. But my guess is money, AX's dad quite loaded overall.
* The story happen too fast. And if story happen too fast in the beginning only one meaning. Our main lead will suffer in the end. Haha....

What surprise:
* The villain behind Ling's family. Never expected him to be a bad guy. But yeah I can imagine being in his shoes & but still it doesn't justify what he did.

Plot holes:
Well not really plot holes actually. Maybe more like unfinished business or question they still left behind.
- Like I wrote earlier. The reason of the villain behind the Gu An Xin (AX) sufferings all that year.
- Ling Yue is adopted child or not. There're some hint. But never really clear of is it yes or not. If yes what his story then... Why his dad need to adopted him...?

The minus:
- Too much story involve. They don't really finished the exist plot but instead they must added with the story involving Ling's family. What I mean? Well it's gonna be better if they finished the story of AX & LY that I already wrote earlier.
- Too much couple. Well I like when they have found their match, but this just like pushing the forcing button, where they think everyone must have couple to be complete.
- Break up that doesn't really makes sense. Well when AX & LY break up for the very short time, the reason behind it doesn't really quite makes sense & the reason for their reunification even make more nonsense. LOVE of course what else. See the separation, for me, only to added more duration.

The plus:
+ The chemistry between our couple quite fit. Quite like the interaction between Zhao Lu Si & Lie Te.
+ The logical LY. Even though he cold, over bearing boss. But he still listen to AX complain when she protest about how LY arrange everything for her.
+ Even though too much couple, but everyone partner also quite fit with themselves.

Overall apart from all the minus and plot holes this actually quite enjoyable drama. That's why I still give it 7* rating

ok...

Esse é um drama legal, possui reviravoltas legais, mais para mim não é uma das melhores produções feitas. Demorei muito pra gostar dos personagens e ainda não gosto dos protagonistas. Gosto muito dos personagens secundarios, eles entregaram tudo na trama.
A premisa do drama é muito interesanto ( motivo que me fez assistir), mas meio que se perde ao longo do caminho. Ficaram brechas que nao foram explicadas, fazendo ao telespectador subentender o que aconteceu.
Acredito que se o drama fosse mais curto, talvez a historia seria mais rápida, não se enrolando nos mesmo tópicos da historia.

This drama is a nice romantic comedy within a dark melodramatic plot that comes from the leads been part of influential rival families. The story moves fast between all the twists and relationships but some characters turned to be provisional antagonist that really didn’t go well with their original characterization. Although the leading couple has many cute moments and intimate scenes (kissing), their chemistry was not on par with their romantic scenes; something was amiss with their body language, especially with Zhao Lu Si as Gu An Xin, who did very well on her cute scenes and became somewhat an annoyance when using her child like voice. Expectations of a great romance chemistry which she has shown in the past (i.e. Dating in the Kitchen, Love Better than Immortality) were thrown out of the window for more cute moments. [Maybe it was also Liu Te as Ling Yue / Xiao Ba that was a bit stoned face throughout the drama and didn’t show the intensity of his emotion through his body language, or it could’ve been the production itself ; not sure, but their chemistry was on and off throughout the drama]. Although some of the resolutions were okay, the antagonists didn’t get what they really deserved and Gu An Xin did not get closure from her biological father due to a wrongly used Alzheimer twist in the storyline which was totally ridiculous!] Overall, the drama is entertaining and a good watch while waiting for a great one to come!

Addicting but boring ?

I skip through many part in this dramas. The story is super cliché but I think that this show did them well. The plot was all over the place but the acting was good.

I honestly watch it for the eye candy. The plot are so cringy and the fight scenes make me laugh out loud with how ridiculous it look. It was fun watch but nothing amazing.

The drama start out great with the main couple being forced to live together but it start to drag after Ling Yue went back to his company. The plot where step-brother falls in love with his sister is so weird and I could have definitely do without that plot.

The kiss scenes were great tho and the chemistry between the main couple is so cute.

Overall, it was good enough for me to finish it but not enough for me to rewatch.

Lets be straight

To tell the truth this drama was very amazing it wasn't exactly mind blowing to say the least but it was a good drama to watch to be honest lets talk about the parts i didnt like this is my personal opinion didnt like the fact that some problems kept popping up and the female lead wouldnt listen to him explain but i did feel sometimes she had justification but thats pretty much it as well as how they kept on making it hard for the leads but that may because i liked them the good things about this drama is the acting and production as well as product placement is done well you dont see it every episode and when it comes around you feel as though you want to drink it i liked the acting from both leads i may be a bit bias towards the female lead because she one of my favorite actress currently and i feel as though the male lead played the charcter well since he s supposed to be someone who is pretty much inflexible in everything another thing i liked was the twist because it felt like i couldnt actually believe it so overall i would reccomend it

ho messo la sufficienza solo perché non ho avuto il coraggio di vederlo finire

Ci sono dei drama godibilissimi anche quando procedono a forza di cliché. Non è questo il caso. La situazione familiare è troppo intricata, tanto da essere poco credibile. le questioni societarie sono abbastanza assurde, i personaggi maschili sono un concentrato di maldiretto testosterone, la protagonista femminile, la povera Zhao Lucy, è stata gratificata di un personaggio odiosamente debole. Per contro il protagonista maschile non comunica molto. Stanno recitando pedissequamente una parte.
Non è una commedia perché non fa ridere, non è una tragedia perché non fa piangere, è piatta come un'asse da stiro e non riesce a trattenere la mia attenzione perché è talmente poco coinvolgente che non stuzzica la mia curiosità di conoscere segreti ed evoluzione delle vicende.
Magari migliorerà dopo, ma giunta alla metà del settimo episodio ne ho avuto abbondantemente abbastanza e parto per lidi che spero più gradevoli.

Watch without thinking

OVERALL
This drama is a decent filler; flawed but with enough cuteness and fluffiness to watch until the end. Watch it if 1) you are looking for an all-round cast of good-looking actors, 2) you like youthful humor, 3) you want a drama with lots of cute couple scenes. If you 1) care a lot about good plots with no incoherence, 2) hate clichés, 3) need sizzling chemistry between the leads, then skip.

THE STORY
I will be honest. The plot of this drama is really unimpressive. First, it's a complete melting pot of clichés, and not the kind you don't mind seeing again and again, the opposite kind. Accidental tripping and kissing, predictable antagonist moves, savior complex of the ML, etc. Second, it's full of elements that don't make sense: characters acting out of character, conflicts that appear out of nowhere or end randomly, events that aren't realistic, etc. One inconsistency that particularly drove me crazy was the bad character development of FL. The drama couldn't decide if to make her strong and outspoken or weak and influenceable, so she kept on changing from one scene to the next. Third, there's the fact that at times the drama felt a bit...immature? I guess it targets a relatively young audience. In short, there are lots of issues with this drama. HOWEVER, I still watched it until the end, and it was not a very painful experience.

Why? Well, mostly because the drama is so generous with the couple scenes. The relationship development (falling in love part) isn't the best, but you get tons of cute scenes between the leads and that's enough to keep you going (if you're watching mostly for romance). There are also one or two interesting plot twists that pleasantly surprise you, and the secondary couples get decent love lines too. Overall, I get the sense that although the drama has lots of issues, they're not THAT bad. As in, the quality isn't that rotten, even if the quantity of bad stuff is huge. You can ignore them without too much effort and just roll with it. At least, I did.

THE ACTING
Okay, I guess. OTP is convincing, even though I honestly didn't feel any chemistry between the leads and some of their scenes felt quite cringe to me. Not "I can't watch this" cringe, just "It doesn't feel real" cringe. It was fine, just not great. Older cast was fine too, but the secondary cast (except for one or two actors) did not impress me.

THE MUSIC
Also okay. It's decent, even though I didn't get the urge to listen to any of the songs once the drama ended.

REWATCH VALUE
Pretty average, not that high. It's light but still has lots of scenes that get on your nerve; it has lots of cute couple scenes but without much chemistry. I feel like there will always be better options when I feel like rewatching a drama.
