Review

What the f*** did I watch? Me and Mr. X Season 3: Goodbye Mr. X is very confusing and messes up towards the end of the series. I will warn that I did not see the last episode because I can’t find it with English subs. This one is if you are looking for end game cuteness you will not get it. The fact that the whole series based on true stories is quite crazy. I will warn there are murder and suicide in this season. Would you watch it again? No, not really. However, I do recommend that you watch it for yourself.

Review

Mr. X and I-Promise You A City just made me feel nothing. I feel sorry for the one that got cheated on in Mr. X and I-Promise You A City. However, I don’t feel sorry for the cheater. I mean you cheated, what do you expect for them to stay together with you when you can’t wait for them. Would I watch this again? No, not really. It just shows that everyone gets cheated on no matter your sexual orientation.

Review

Mr. X and I – The Groomsman ending is not the happiest. Mr. X and I – The Groomsman shows the dynamics of traditional Chinese culture. The fact that people have sham weddings to make their families happy is sad. Families don’t realize that arrange marriage does more bad than good. It’s worsted if the spouse that you don’t love doesn’t know from the beginning. It shows the sacrifices that Eastern civilization does to make their blood family happy. People of western culture/civilization, don’t have the duty of getting married to make their family happy by sacrificing their happiness. I don’t know how common it is in eastern culture. In this episode, the main reason for the sham marriage is gossip and respect from the community. Would I watch it again? I don’t know. I know I would recommend it to people to see how different parts of the world deal with specific situations.
