I’m basically Charlie Brown and modern romance and business/work/professional C-dramas are Lucy and the football. Chances are it’s going to be lackluster as all have been prior but I still can’t help but check it out when it stars leads I like. In recent years it’s been She and Her Perfect Husband, Best Choice Ever, Only for Love, The Oath of Love, and so forth. So once again into the fold I go starting July 2nd when Tencent premieres As Beautiful as You with Tan Song Yun and Xu Kai. I don’t even need to summarize the plot which is basically rich good looking successful businessman and plucky resourceful and beautiful businesswoman fall for each other and overcome the odds to make it in love and money. I think the X-factor is always how likeable the lead characters are written and their onscreen chemistry to overcome what is usually cookie cutter friend/business/family issues. I find Xu Kai and Tan Song Yun adorable together onscreen in the preview so fingers-crossed. It needn’t be great, just decent enough I want to watch all the way to the end, ala Lighter and Princess.
