Low-key and sweet, this show is basically a perfect little escape from the real world.
Everything’s very prettily filmed, and our characters are basically nice, good, decent people slowly falling in love, as their paths cross.
As a bonus, Show also manages to offer a gentle glimpse into the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) without being preachy or heavy-handed about it.
Perfect as a cozy drama nightcap, in my experience. 🥰
There are several reasons that I picked up this show, and really, really wanted to like it.
For one thing, I was quite smitten by Miles Wei’s sweet, gentle and thoughtful outing in You Are My Secret (review here!), and was keen to have him on my screen again.
For another, lots of people seem to really, really like this little show. Not only that, based on the comments that I saw about this show, it sounded like Miles Wei’s character in this, would be sweet and thoughtful too.
Ooh. To have Miles Wei on my screen again, and in a character that promised to be at least a little reminiscent of his character Ji Yuheng in You Are My Secret?
I couldn’t sign up fast enough.
The only problem was, I couldn’t seem to love this one the way everyone else seems to love this one, no matter how hard I tried. 😅
If you loved Perfect and Casual, &/or if you recommended it to me, I’m sorry I didn’t manage to love it. Just know that it wasn’t from lack of trying. 🙈
