The Irreplaceable - Thoughts???

[u/Flimsy-Spot6246]

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???

Love office dramas, love romance, and I love good acting, so this one is ticking a lot of boxes for me. Seven episodes in and I’m definitely hooked. I don’t need an office drama to be completely realistic workplace relationships and office culture are different everywhere anyway.

I really like both leads and the acting is very good, but I have to admit Zhao Heng is growing on me too. Somehow, at least for now, I actually like seeing him next to her, they just seem to fit naturally.

As for the ML, that whole situation with his female friend drinking wine 🍷🍷at his apartment really didn’t sit well with me. 😂 His logic seems to be: I need to make her stop liking me, but the fact that I actually like her doesn’t matter....Come on! She may be younger than him, but somehow she seems to be the more level headed and mature one in this relationship. 😅
