C-drama Best Choice Ever Continues Decent But Unexciting Run Though New Kissing Stills with Leads Yang Zi and Xu Kai Deliver on Chemistry

So modern family, work, and romance C-drama Best Choice Ever has been airing for two weeks and would be considered okay with ratings at best. Leads Yang Zi and Xu Kai are in a group drama that spends more time on family and work stuff so those looking for a romance-centric offering this is not it. I tried but got bored as this isn’t my cup of tea, I actually lasted longer on She and Her Perfect Husband so it’s not judging on quality just on what hooks me. I’ve been checked out for days until this weekend’s new stills showing Yang Zi and Xu Kai adorably kissing and I recognized the scene on sight – it was shot in Shanghai on an open top double decker bus at night as these filming stills were all over the interwebs last year when the two filmed it since there were so many bystanders and passerbys.
