麻辣女配is a light-hearted, enjoyable Chinese romance anime. Nothing complicated here, it’s exactly what you expect in terms of characters, story, jokes… But it’s fresh and positive. If you have already heard about Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama! or Skip Beat!, it feels quite similar, i.e. the main character is a strong female lead lacking femininity and self-confidence and who wants to get consideration; and (in)fortunately she meets an amazing and successful guy who is also a pervert in private. Basically, this guy psychologically ‘tortures’ her but also enables her to gain confidence and abilities; and they ultimately realize how much they love each other…
I will not be much longer, I liked this anime because the format (~8 min per episode) was appropriate, the characters funny and attractive, animation was OK and last but not least – sound (OST, opening/ending, voices) was really good.
Do not expect turnovers, and just take this one as a nice and enjoyable entertainment.
