Perfeito e Casual (2020)

A light hearted and beautiful drama ♥️

Damn, it's not perfect, but the actors are really great. It doesn't have the most unique storyline but it was done the most beautiful way as possible. I never thought i would fall in love with the FL, she was annoying at first but only because it's her personality however, the character development is over the top. The male lead is what everyone's dream to have. He's flawed but he was innocent and was always ready to learn, and mygod he really is adorable.

The series itself is not perfect, there are flaws but it delivered.

Dont hesitate. Give it a try. The series is also not that long and has great pacing. They also have included great support characters, some are annoying but they were needed for the story. And what I like about this the most is because there are no unnecessary misunderstandings and drama. Just lighted series for this heavy environment we are in. ♥️

ONE WORD: DIABETES!!!!

Story- FINALLY, not the usual A*hole ML and over the top annoying FL, thank goodness!!!! Both show character development gradually as the story progresses. There's no annoying side characters as well. ML and FL talks about their problem instead of the usual "string of misunderstandings" eps. ML and FL both love, respect and support each other. AND no annoying exes!!! yay!! This drama is not draggy although there's a lot of cliches and the story isn't really new, but still it will make you wanna stay and watch until the end. The villains in this drama is very subtle not over the top kind of thing so it's something refreshing. All the characters were given the chance to shine in their own story, no single character were left behind.

Acting/Cast- Haven't seen Miles Wei and Xu Ruo Han in any cdrama before but in my opinion they did great in portraying their characters so well. The chemistry is on point and yes... the KISS! Thank goodness finally, a decent kissing scene from the main leads! Hallelujah!!! Rejoice people of cdrama. Will definitely follow both the main leads upcoming dramas.

Music- Ost's great and also the side bgm sound was hilarious! lol.

Rewatch- I'll definitely be checking this drama again although I'd skip the side characters story.

Overall: Highly recommended for those who wants a fluffy and not complicated drama. Happy watching!

Light and sweet series!

While the plot and story of contractual relationship/marriage is common in chinese/korean dramas, it still feels new to me. There are no dramatic or unnecessary fight between the main couple. They're both mature and wise in communicating their own emotions, strengths , and weaknesses to each other and they grew as their love and relationship deepens. Enough with toxic partners, let's give it up for dramas like this one that shows how to have a healthy relationship. If you're looking for a light and sweet series that won't stress you out, this one is definitely for you! Also, I really love the chemistry between the characters. Their acting is good and natural. It doesn't feel forced. The actors are also good looking!

A cute love story

Sooo sweet and no horrible drama plots with death threats or kidnapping. Honestly its more so "real" issues you would see in a relationship with jealousy, miscommunication and learning how to compromise with your partner. I really love this series and Wei Zhe Ming is honestly the cutest puppy type of man. I love how shy he is and the love that seems to pour out of his eyes when he looks at her. Him and Xu Ruo Han really act well together, there is alot of chemistry between them and you can see really believe the story between their characters

I have watched this series twice and I still enjoy it.

A drama breather, my favorite Chinese drama so far

I was randomly searching for Jdramas with age gap trope and this suddenly appeared on my screen. Upon seeing episode 1, I got automatically hooked on the storyline. Everything about it is almost cliche-- teacher-student relationship, living together, contract marriage, and the age gap. However, there's something in it that made me so curious to know how the story will unfold. I was hoping to see how the story would be different from the rest of the same tropes in the drama galaxy. And voila! I wasn't disappointed at all, it's worth to binge watch. Also, the chemistry of the characters is super legit. I have read the web novel as well, and I really can't imagine other actors to be playing them. This drama was like my oasis in the midst of so many good but stressful dramas. I was just on cloud nine all throughout the 24 episodes. No need to imbibe the toxicity and stress of the storyline just to find a show engaging. Super wholesome, you won't be bothered posting about it and recommending it to all ages. The only heartache I had was when I finished watching it and knowing that it doesn't have season 2.

It was very enjoyable.

Plot- Very coherent storyline. Always so surprising! It was well-written, especially going from the end back to the beginning. I love the progression throughout! The end is a complete circle. Very satisfying :)

Acting-The acting was superb even though it's argued to the FL is naive, but I think Yun Shu suits her. ML and FL were impossible to not like. ML was "hard-to-get" in the beginning since he had no sense of romantic feelings. He was very studious and went to an elitist school. I was waiting for him to develop feelings, literally the best part! He progressed so much throughout the drama, each scene felt genuine. Unlike other dramas, it progresses to fast and the romantic scenes feel fake, everything here was very genuine and valuable. Zhang Sinian met Yunshu, who was a very warm-hearted and happy girl. I loved that she's actually an artist irl. Overall, a very cute and fun character. Meeting her warmed his heart, and he became more loving and passionate. The contracted marriage with her was a very good touch that helped them transition.... Only part I didn't like was that the last episode seemed a bit rushed and not all the knots were tied. I felt like there was still some parts of the story that were unfinished. Hope there's szn 2!

Seriously, it was very good- I'm wayy impressed with everything. Definitely rewatch!!!

Unusually Calming Contract Marriage Drama!

+ Ve points
Sweet and Relaxing
No schemes, No possessive characters

-Ve Points
Familial Centric Ending

Modern C-dramas with contract relationships often tend to have scheming Male lead and Utterly spineless Female Lead, this one although with a cold & smart ML and naive & cheerful FL neither has elaborate schemes to make the Contract last nor extensive misunderstanding segments to keep the drama going.

If Misunderstandings did exist, they didn't last long. Additionally, ML knows where to draw the line (to prevent misunderstandings) which is applauded. Our FL is brazen and bold too, with taking initiatives in the relationship.
Side characters though lackluster but don't bother.

The ending is family-first oriented with giving up opportunities that can be a bit off-putting but everything else is cute and sweet.

I have two minor gripes about this one. Firstly the first two episodes were not only boring, but also the premise is a bit difficult to digest. (Math/statistics major in her final year keeps making REALLY and I mean REALLY stupid life decisions) The second issue is that there is a love triangle around episode 13-15 with the minor love interest acting like a blood hound, still at least they wrapped that up rather quickly. ~

I could nitpick about other things, but ultimately they are not important. This was almost precisely the drama I wanted to watch. It's a very sweet romcom, that is very unusual in how all the problems are solved very quickly in a satisfactory, wholesome manner. It's true that this drama has been heavily inspired by Because This is my First Life. Even though that one has quite a few stronger episodes & objectively way more interesting, more three dimensional characters, I think I prefer Perfect and Casual, because it doesn't have a really really frustrating separation plot and we get a lot more fluffy romance too, with many kisses that still remain meaningful in ways that other dramas with dragged out happy endings can almost never compete with. Other reviewers mentioned that they didn't very much like the side characters & their romances. Personally I think that both of their stories were okay-ish..

I mentioned earlier that this show is very unusual in how all the problems are solved very quickly in a satisfactory, wholesome manner. I have to note though, that there are quite a few heavily teased disastrous plot directions. The creators always dodged these bullets, but binge watching is recommended, because most of the teased bullshit gets resolved in like the first minute of the next episode ^_^

The OST is pretty good, normally I have a hard time enjoying Chinese music, but there were some catchy tunes in this one. The cinematography is very decent too..

TLDR: If you like sugar, just watch this one! If you are easily bored, then just start directly with episode 3.

made it to my top 5 favorite modern cdrama

I’m obsessed with Wei Zhe Ming these days and I love fake dating/marriage trope, so I started this drama. I don’t regret it at all, I loved it. I don’t understand people saying they don’t have chemistry, for me they have amazing chemistry and were literally perfect for each other.

I liked it from beginning to end, no breakup for the main couple and a perfect ending. Made me laugh, giggle and smile a lot :) When a drama makes me tear up from happiness, then it’s one of the good one for me. It was interesting when I finally understood the title of the drama, it was not only about her comic but like he represents « perfect » and she’s « casual » ;)

They added the usual « love triangle trope » with people who have one sided love for the leads, which I usually hate, but it wasn’t that bad in this drama. They didn’t drag it for to many episodes like often happens in drama. Mr. Meng was mature and back down when he realized they both liked each other for real, was happy for them and thought they were perfect for each other. For once, I didn’t really hate the second lead (he annoyed me at first but it became better), he was understanding and his presence made funny scene and got ML jealous to finally sort out his feelings. For the girl who liked ML, I love that he was clear with her and when he didn’t agree to hug her

This ML was the best, a green flag, a great husband and was so good to her even when they were in a fake relationship. I loved it when he was saying he was her husband. One of my favorite ML ever

The main couple have great communication, they don’t let misunderstanding happen or drag. We could also see the development, like their kiss started awkward, then shy and finally more passionate kiss.

I love the grandpa and their relationship with him, I was tearing up in the last ep, glad we didn’t suffer his death (even if we know it’s coming)

The secondary couples weren’t bad either, I was happy for her sister, pregnant and everything. They are a good match too. For her friend, it’s more an open ending, I wish we could have seen them reunite.

I recommend this drama. I think for a modern romance drama and this kind of plot, 24 eps is perfect, not to many dragging plot or episodes like dramas with like 30-40 eps sometimes have.

I feel empty after finishing it this morning, but now it’s time for « Perfect Marriage Revenge » episode 5 ahaha

Saved by the main characters but a cute watch nonetheless

As many other reviewers have said, this is definitely your typical cold male mc meets clumsy female mc but what I loved is how they didn't use the bullying trope where the male mc bullies the female LOL. I didn't really have high expectations coming into this but it turned out to be much better than I expected so safe to say that I am pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for a very light, fluffy watch with minimal drama (yes, there is a love triangle, but it definitely is not the main plot and was actually kept to a minimum, thankfully), then this is certainly the show for you.
Also usually, I don't end up enjoying the mcs of these kind of dramas but I absolutely adored Yun Shu and Si Nian and their chemistry was adorable. Also can I mention how stunning Xu Ruo Han is omg!
