I feel like other than that, there's nothing else. The show is about the male lead having a phobia and the female lead (at first) being the main trigger to his phobia. For fans of cutesy romantic dramas then this is right up your street, however, just don’t expect great character development either. It did have a really good cast and an incredibly sweet pairings. So, what’s left to say about " Use For My Talent" and is it worth watching ?The Chinese adaptation wasn’t inherently "bad" per say. The other two pairings of the show between Zhu Yan ( Su Meng Di), Shi Jun Jie ( Yanan), Li Dong Xian ( Charles Lin) and Wang Qian Qian ( Huang Si Rui) were arguably more entertaining at times than our main leads, though they were certainly nothing to write home about either with cliche setups.

There was nothing inherently wrong per say with Shuang Jiao as a female lead. Shi Shuang Jiao was also your archetypical " prosaic heroine". His backstory (rather than being used for development), is played upon the " tragic trope” card with few defining reactions or emotions outside of chasing the female lead Shi Shuang Jiao. However, ultimately Ren Qi did suffer the same fate as a" staid male lead". Ultimately this leads to a complicated rocky road as Ren Qi discovers himself falling in love with our female lead.Ĭultural changes aside, there are a couple of things which did work well in this version the male lead seem a bit more paved out as a character with his backstory, and he did not have the same accentuated reactions ( as his Korean counterpart) to a piece of dirt. Through a series of strange events, he ends up meeting and employing female lead Shi Shuang Jiao ( Shen Yue), however, she is his polar opposite by her unkempt and blasé nature towards dirt.

Well, that’s another issue entirely.įor those unaware, the Chinese version follows the same basic premise as its predecessor successful male lead and owner of a cleaning company Gu Ren Qi ( Jasper Liu) suffers from Mysophobia as a result of trauma. Both cast and production values in the dramas are good. Of course, this is not to say that both versions of the show were "unwatchable".
