Drama Digest
The dominant female CEO and a pet mortician are brought together by a watch that is ticking backwards and a Thirty-day cohabitation contract. Is it possible to stop the clock on her life? Shi Qianjin becomes the next chairman of the board after her father’s death.
The Feel-Good Part
The meet-cute is both practical and charming. Obviously, with such a short run time, there isn’t much time to waste, yet the show still managed to drag out certain stories. The humour was significantly more prominent in the first few episodes. Despite the story’s flaws, you’ll like how absurd it was. The best scene is when the male protagonist’s house is turned into a “for-the-experience” restaurant. In later episodes, this faded.
The Disappointing Factor
The pacing was unusual. Sometimes unusually fast, sometimes unusually slow like 10 minutes of music and people frantically searching for something. The final episode takes an unexpected left turn. Neither required nor explicable. It was a real head-turner. At the very least, it didn’t ruin the rest of the show.
In-Depth Analysis
The dominant female CEO and a pet mortician are brought together by a watch that is ticking backwards and a 30-day cohabitation contract. Is it possible to stop the clock on her life? Shi Qianjin becomes the next chairman of the board after her father’s death. However, an incident occurs, and Shi Qianjin wakes up with a watch on her wrist that she cannot manage to remove no regardless of how hard she tries. Worse, it’s gradually ticking backwards, placing her life on a 30-day countdown. The presence of pet mortician Zhou Qingyan at this point miraculously stops the clock from ticking. Shi Qianjin, desperate to stay alive, coerces Zhou Qingyan into signing a 30-day contract as her assistant and to remain by her side at all times. Zhou Qingyan can only endure and comply by the contract if he wants to keep his pet funeral house. Their cohabitation life changes from one full of explosives to one full of honey as the two come to know each other better.
Star Power
The female lead was cold, but she didn’t give me the impression that she was “competent.” She worked crazy hours, but I never had the impression that she was taking the world by storm. Her relations with her uncle were especially pathetic. The male lead wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy, but he was there. They assign him a strange disability that I’ve never heard of before, but we only hear about it once or twice more. While the chemistry between them was good, there was a lot of negativity and hatred between them.
Overall Opinion
Throughout the show, there are genuine nice and amusing moments. In some ways, that is the show’s central problem. While some shows start off strong and eventually deteriorate, this one swings from one extreme to the other. It sometimes works, and you get excited about the programme, but then it introduces a ridiculous plot that makes you want to scream. For this show, hit and miss are two sides of the same coin.
