Negotiator (2018)

**Don’t waste your time!**

This drama should just be called "Rich people have problems too and you should really care about it".

Z. Tao often plays annoying, snarky, smartass characters with a “heart of gold”, but I HATE Xie Xiao Fei with every fiber of my being. Xie Xiao Fei made Tong Wei drink, when she didn't want to, made her eat something, when she said that she can't, jeopardized her job, stole her passport and essentially kidnapped her. He is a selfish asshole, who thinks he can do what he wants, just because he "loves" her and had a shit childhood. I don't understand why Tong Wei likes him. He tells her that he wants to protect her from his family, while making her a target by being a piece of shit. Because he isn't only an ass to her. He also tried to pressure his brother to drink alcohol even though Xiao Fei knows that Xiao Tian is allergic to it. He told his uncle's wife to wear a dress that fits her "age range and figure". He constantly says that his family is bad and only thinks about business and money, but he also relies on THAT family's money until he can’t anymore.

Qin Tian Yu is a selfish "nice guy", who used his friendship with Tong Wei to get ahead in his job. He believes just because he has known her for a long time she should like him back. And when she is rightfully angry at him for using her, he sulks about it.

For a show, that so heavily relies on American culture and the English language, their English dubbing is shockingly bad.

I leave this review with the wise words from Xie Xiao Tian's mother: "Love is selfless. Love doesn't need payback. Demanding a return of love isn't genuine love."
