Young Lady and Gentleman (2021–2022)
1/10
Fast forward and never look back
13 March 2024
I understand that the positive reviews come from people who can value this show as extreme satire - I suppose it could be funny if you look at it that way. However, I was expecting a romcom. This show is more like slapstick and absurdity. Dan-dan, the main character, is a whining immature girl, who fortunately knows how to connect with the children. I don't see why she would fall for their stick-up-his-arse father. The fact that he likes a young new leaf in his house is more understandable, but also a bit creepy. I would have found it much more logical if he had married the mother of his youngest son, who is also working for him and is actually reaching out to him. It would have been much more satisfying to me if they had gotten together. Or there was another lovely lady, who works WITH him, who would have been a perfect match for him. But no, he falls for the young, uneducated girl.

Dan-dan should have found another man, but I suppose in heart she is a gold digger like her stepmother family and her real mother. Which makes it even more irritating that she pretends to have such high morals. She is extremely harsh towards her stepmother and I feel she is just an unthankful, selfish girl. And actually, although she has a good relationship with the children, I don't think she is a good example to them.

For a good romcom, there are simply too few men and too many women in this show. And practically all those women are screaming and/or crying. I think the main lead's father's mistress, who lives in the house, is being mistreated. She is portrayed as being the bad woman, but I feel for her and can understand she has grudges. I think if I were the writer, the characters would have had very different storylines with very different outcomes. And out of necessity, I would have thrown in a few interesting men. The scenes with the two women living together I soon started too fast forward, as they consisted of yelling only. After a while, I started to fast forward the rest of the show so it would no longer be suggested for further watching in my Netflix app. I do not want too look back, but perhaps this is like a scab on a wound that you keep scratching. Hopefully, after writing this review, this wound will heal.
