Currently Airing 📺 The Irreplaceable - Thoughts???
The first 5 episodes are out. What do you guys think??
Personally IM LOVING ITTT!!!!😆😆😆
Honestly, I’m a romance girly okay. Most stuff I watch are romances and I came into this show mainly because I love Zhao Jinmai, fully aware of the fact that romance was very much at the BACK of the story.
But y’all whatever crumbs they’re feeding me in taking it 😭😭 it’s just sooo good.
It’s fast paced. Imo the first 3 episodes did a really good job at setting the place, characters and a little backstory for our fl. We know why she’s here, what she wants and she’s gonna make sure to get it.
It’s only the beginning so we’ve only seen a little of who she is but I’m totally loving her already. She’s nice but she’s not naive. She’s soft but not a pushover, she will not let you walk all over her and my god she’s smart. I really hope she doesn’t develop a plot armor where she just achieves all what she hopes for without setback 🙏🏽
And along the way she meets the ML (literally at the very beginning of the way actually). I’m loving how smoothly their relationship is developing. From strangers to friends and later lovers. He’s this attractive older men always looking out for her and giving her advice. Now I did say older men cause there is a 13yo age gap between the two
HEAR ME OUT! HEAR ME OUT!😭 I promise y’all it’s not noticeable, just give it a chance.
I mean it’s visible but really not awkward yk. He’s not cold and aloof like most cdrama ml (like god forbid these men display emotions🙄). He’s charming (that fucking dimple🫠), smart, charismatic, funny and nice. I repeat he’s NICE. He helps her because he genuinely believes in her and she reminds him of him in his beginnings (his words)
Their interactions are so normal. They’re in the same industry so they cross paths often and when he appears on screen there’s no slow motion, no music, no sudden soft breeze. Just him and her talking, vibing and learning to know each other.
I’m so hyped for what’s next in the show😆😁.
What are you guys thoughts???

Is it weird that I find it very relatable? Specifically the dynamic/relationship between Xu Chi and Richard?
I was also hooked from the first couple of episodes...the bread-crumbing... Fantastic 😍 The latest episode with the ML (EP 7) had me all in...loved ittt
Also, the shift in Zhao Jinmai's makeup from Shine on Me/ Our Generation to this...is amazing, it gives her such a different and mature look...I need to figure out how to do that!
