O Namorado da Minha Namorada (2017)

Great show

I absolutely LOVED watching this! I finished it in three days. If I didn't have school, I would probably have finished it faster. I can't wait for season 2!

Here are a few things I liked and disliked (in no particular order):

1 THE ACTING

LIKE: I really like the way Bai Zhu plays his character(A Zhai). His facial expressions and the way he brings his lines are adorable and unique. Some people seem to dislike A Zhai, which I kind of get when looking at certain scenes. Particularly the ones where he mistreats Adam or doesn't listen to his advice, which then results in problems that could've been avoided if he did listen. That aside I think he is a really fun character that brings life to the show.

DISLIKE: A ZHAI IS SUCH. AN. IDIOT! Seriously, I love him, but he is so stubborn, self-centered and in some moments pretty mean. Adam really didn't deserve the way A Zhai treated him in some episodes. Especially since Adam is the one who keeps saving and protecting A Zhai when things turn sour. Which is A LOT of times.

2 FRIENDSHIP

A Zhai and his best friend cracked me up everytime they were together. I loved it when they were scheming and going on missions together. You would think that two heads/two brains would be able to think of at least a simple, good working plan, but I guess that's not the case with A Zhai and Wang Fu Gui. They are also really bad at lying. It's funny to watch. Their friendship is really cute.

3 THE CINEMATOGRAPHY

The camera work is done very well. The set also looks great! The whole show gives you a comic kinda feel with all the sound/visual effects they've put in it. All this put together makes the show aesthetically pleasing.

4 STORYLINE

LIKE: The story is surprising and unique. There are a lot of turns and twists that make you want to see the next episode as fast as possible. The pace of the storyline is just right. Not too slow, not too fast. I also like how they sometimes break the 4th wall by talking to us (the audience) directly.

DISLIKE: One aspect of the storyline that gets dragged out too much is A Zhai's obsession with Eve. FOR REAL, MAN It just keeps going on and on and on and on and on. I rolled with my eyes a lot.

5 A ZHAI AND ADAM

I can conclude from the comments of some other people that they mainly started to watch the show because of these two. I wouldn't recommend watching it just for them. Except for a few cute scenes, there isn't much action. I can't even say ''just watch it for their friendship' because as I said earlier: A Zhai is pretty mean to Adam. Unless there are more scenes coming in season 2 that will build on their relationship. 80% of this show is A Zhai chasing after Eve.

CONCLUSION:
It's a really cute show and you should definitely watch it for the cool actors, the humor and fun scenes.

STORY: This writing for this series was all over the place; it was sci-fi, dark, fantasy, romantic comedy, and more. What the synopsis didn't make clear is that Adam loves Ah-Zhai who loves Pei Ni (Penny) who loves Adam. There's a lot of humor and awkward situations because of this love triangle.

ACTING/CAST: Bai Shu (Ah-Zhai) is a very good actor, very expressive. Cai Wen Jing (Pei Ni) is a very good actress; she played multiple, and very different, personalities.

MUSIC: I liked both the opening and closing songs of this show.

REWATCH VALUE: I didn't have much of a reason to revisit Season 1 but Season 2 is so much better.

OVERALL: Read my spoiler in the comments section if you want my opinion about the BL in this show.
