I don't know how I am going to make it through.

I agree with the other reviews, I am only sticking this drama out because of the ML. He is literally carrying the whole drama on his back. The FL isn't a horrible actress, I just think her character is really bad. I don't get the draw of having a grown woman act like a twelve-year old helpless child. They dress her like a child and it's kind of cringy how they want these lead actresses to be child-like. And her best friend is annoying too. And she looks like she is wearing a filter, either it's a filter or she is totally disguising her face and it looks a porcelain doll and not in a good way. I kept expecting her face to glitch and there be some old lady in her place.
Hopefully I can make it through all the episodes but I don't see myself ever rewatching it.

Nothing new, watch just for the Lead's Chemistry

This series has same old same old story. ML and FL enter into contract marriage, fall in Love. A barrage of misunderstanding created by SML and SFL. They overcome everything and Love triumphs everything.

As I said in the headline, only selling feature of this drama was Lead's chemistry. After ep. 10 there was kissing scenes in each episode and every kissing scene was steaming hot. I guess this is what expected between 2 actors who are more than 30 years of age. They looked super comfortable in every kissing scene.

FL's acting was very weird. Only saving grace of this show was ML. He was pretty good from the get go. Again Ep. 24 (Finale episode) was lame. You will understand once you watch it. I mean i don't even know what to say, it was pretty unnecessary, anyway it was the last episode so I just watched it.

Great drama but problem with music

I really loved the story, the cast, the chemistry between the main leads and the set of this drama.
However the main drawback for me was the fact that there were many parts in many episodes mainly the romantic parts that were not covered with music. So 8t was as if the drama was muted in the best scenes. Music is really important and i would give a better rate to this drama if it wasn't for this issue. I just hope that the original drama that was aired did include music throughout all the episodes.

Secret Love towards Childhood Friend-Marriage Contract

At first the story looks like the plot in many comic books, but it's not. It's refreshing to see both ML & FL are from a rich family and both parents are agree with their sudden marriage.

The ML acting really good. He looks so tricky, so handsome and hot. See him in some drama as supporting role. Finally he got a lead role ❤️❤️ Hope him got more lead role in the future.

As for our FL, she lack of self confidence. So lucky to have the ML that support & help her secretly.

The parents really supportive in their relationship.....well of course since they know each other for a long time.

I LOVE the main couple,

I have seen 18 episodes. I loved the drama until this point, I have spoiled myself.
2 heirs with similar goals in life would love to shagg however, reading the spoilers above, they differ greatly from what I have seen. Indeed the FL is selfish. I discovered later in life that if you don't love yourself, neither the other party will love you.
I didn't understand why do they consumate their marriage in the dark. She is hot, he is yummy. Both have a knack for pervert stuff and both indulge each other. The costume thing, let's say that was inocent, the continuous role play, trans scene, and so on)

He is apparently perfect until we can see his flaws. She is flawed until we can see why she is perfect for him. I don't think I could spend my life with such a jealous guy, however she needs and can handle him.

If they would use the real age of the actors(30+), the dramatic effect would be better.

The sound is downright awful, at least where I have see the drama,

The conflict was awesome just because he is perfect until not so perfect, she is human and despite her novelist stuff going on, down to earth: she knows that she is not build for business, while he is, however, if after a year, 2 or 10 they divorce she has to have a source if income. I don't know where other commenters live, but here, with kids in tow, I have to have a job, with or without my perfect husband (he does look like Ming Ren. )

It had potential but terribly written & executed.

Story: 6/10
The story was super cliche. A novelist gets into a contract marriage with a CEO who also happens to be her childhood friend. And this friend of hers has loved her for years, so he's internally celebrating. The female lead has no idea, of course, but she starts falling for him as she works on her first romance novel and experiences it with her husband.
(x . x) ~~zzZ
Characters: 4/10
The characters were terribly written, in my opinion. Su Jianan was way too selfish, too invested in her what she wanted that she was blinded to the feelings of those around her. Her development didn't convince me, no. Lu Boyan was controlling, kinda obsessed with his wife. He wanted to do everything for her. I know some people admire this trait in men but in my opinion it kills the sense of privacy which everyone needs. The supporting characters were just ok. Ruo Xi was the perfect example of an obsessed girls and Rui Cheng had potential as second lead before his character was butchered (I'm really angry, lol)

Acting/Cast: 8/10
Thank heavens the acting wasn't terrible but just OK. It was watchable but there isn't anyone who stood out for me.

Music: 4/10
I saw this drama on youtube and I think they've muted some scenes to avoid copyright. So, there wasn't enough music and the scenes were too quiet (Yeah, they were muted).

Rewatch: 4/10
NEVER, EVER!

Conclusion: 6/10
I would've dropped it around episode 8 or so but I didn't because I don't want my dropped list to increase. But, if you're in the mood to watch something light, the contract marriage kinda thing (it's my guilty pleasure but this one ruined the impression on me) then this drama is for you! (o^-')b

P.S: I know this is a very angry review but I was so annoyed by this drama that I wanted to let it out, lol. (´∀`ゞ

A história do dorama é fofinho, até que o relacionamento deles se desenvolve e depois disso o roteiro começa a desandar. Tem uns 3 vilões, 4 triângulos amorosos e um ciúme excessivo totalmente de graça (até certo ponto). Achei ruim.

Lá pelo episódio 22 mesmo fica uma desgraça. A protagonista passa por uma fase de sucesso profissional e se torna a pior amiga/namorada que eu já vi, tudo bem que faz parte de história, mas é bizarro ver ela agindo dessa forma com as pessoas que amam ela e sem ter nenhuma noção do quanto tá magoando eles.

O protagonista é horrível, né? Falo isso porque TODAS as reviews do MDL geralmente criticam a protagonista e o ML sempre passa batido, SEMPRE. É como se todo mundo que assiste os c-dramas estivesse automaticamente inclinado a gostar do protagonista independente da personalidade dele. E ele é o clássico COLD MALE LEAD, padrão, nada demais e eu até gosto. Mas ele não é tão bonito quanto falam aí e o pior de tudo é que ele é ciumento desde o momento 0 a troco de nada, ele fica puxando a protagonista igual uma boneca, tenta obrigar ela a desistir do próprio trabalho (quando tá trabalhando como roteirista), e se envolve até demais na carreira dela sendo que ela deixou claro milhões de vezes que queria conquistar por mérito próprio.

Mas no geral, tudo no drama é meio ruim, mas o começo vale a pena assistir, tem muitas cenas fofinhas.

Todo inicia bien hasta que te das cuenta que nada estaba bien.

Empecé la historia y los primeros capítulos fueron agradables, aunque la protagonista tenía algunas actitudes que no me gustaban. Avancé la historia y su actitud se me hizo insufrible.
Aclaro que uso los términos del ingles para que nadie se confunda. FL: protagonista femenina, ML: protagonista masculino

La historia comienza dentro de todo cliché, la FL que debe casarse o pierde su sueño y el ML que coincidentemente es alguien importante de su infancia, es rico y la amaba en secreto cuando eran jóvenes. Extrañamente, desde mi punto de vista, la FL ni siquiera tiene el talento para cumplir su sueño, un punto que me pareció diferente, pues su drama gira en torno a que quiere ser escritora pero sus novelas no tienen nada de éxito, incluso la estaban por despedir hasta que intervino el ML.

Pero volviendo a la trama principal, ellos se casan con la condición de firmar un acuerdo, propuesto por ella, de divorciarse dentro de un año, más otras cláusulas típicas, como que no haya contacto físico, interrupción con sus trabajos, vidas, parejas del momento, que nadie se entere que están casados, etc. (Una laguna gigante que no reconocieron y es el hecho de que él es una figura pública, conocido por estar en pareja con una actriz (aunque no lo estaban en realidad) y sus familias que entienden que están casados, el desastre era inevitable...)

Por lo general con este tipo de tramas el ML sería la parte más tóxica de la pareja, y vaya sorpresa me llevé al ver que la FL lo supera con creces. Punto interesante es que ella es la primera en romper el contrato, al intentar seducirlo para obtener una experiencia que pueda usar en su novela, porque reitero, desde mi punto de vista, no tiene talento o sirve para escritora, entonces tiene que recurrir a eso.

Tal ves algunos se hayan dado cuenta pero la FL me parece insoportable e insufrible (esperé todo el drama que tuviese un cambio de actitud, que se "iluminase", pero fue en vano). Me parece una niña malcriada que evidentemente no sabe lo que es el amor, el compromiso y el compañerismo. No tiene idea del matrimonio, incluso de lo que puede significar socialmente. (Todo se va al carajo en el capitulo 22, o sea...dormir en un hotel con otro hombre y ni siquiera reconocerlo como un error que puede llevar a malos entendidos... no se lo que se le pasaba por la cabeza).
La FL es muy tóxica, pues todo está bien siempre que ella lo esté, el resto se puede estar incendiando y no le importa.

Como ya dije ella es la primera en romper el contrato en los primeros capítulos, más adelante se presenta la "novia" de él y la FL le dice que son primos, después se ofende y crea un desmadre cuando hay fotos de ellos abrazados (aunque el ML le deja en claro que ama a FL).
Después se va a enojar de nuevo cuando él revele que están casados, y no se si ella no se daba cuenta en la situación en la que se encontraban, o sea, la estaban persiguiendo los fans de la "ex", la trataban de amante y de p*ta, estaban ensuciando su nombre y el de él, sus familias también los cuestionaban y el padre ya quería que se divorciaran, ¿Qué se supone que iba a hacer?

La actitud que tiene hacia su padre es igual, es evidente que su madre murió hace mucho tiempo y el padre tuvo que hacerse cargo él solo de criarla. Yo entiendo que pudo tener muchas situaciones vergonzosas, pero al menos para mi, no reemplaza el hecho de que el padre hizo todo lo que estuvo en su poder. Lo que me molesta es que ella no muestra una pizca de reconocimiento, respeto o amor por lo que él intento hacer por ella.

El ML, aunque tiene sus momentos de toxicidad y de celos, es a lo lejos la parte más comprometida emocionalmente en su matrimonio. La ama, la quiere ayudar, apoyar y acompañar en sus decisiones y es lamentable que al final evidentemente hay que dejar todo de lado. Tiene sus ataques de celos, y aunque no los justifico, le hubiese ido mejor si se hubiese alejado de ella al final y punto.

En fin mi recomendación, no la veas a menos que estés dispuesto a pasar por todo esto, es una opinión personal y talves haya otros a los que si les gustó y si la recomiendan

Drama senza pretese, ma apprezzabile. Arrivo da una serie di drama a tema "matrimonio di facciata" e, devo dire, di tutte le serie cinesi viste di recente sulla tematica, se dovessi consigliarne una tra tutte opterei per questa. Non che non abbia pecche, ma rispetto alle altre l'ho trovata un poco più meritevole. Storia non originalissima, svariati cliché prevedibili ma alcuni piacevolmente ben realizzati, che non fanno mai male. Come in tutte le serie affini, la parte migliore è sempre la prima. Quando poi i due protagonisti convergono e si dichiarano, paradossalmente quasi sempre da lì in poi l'attenzione dello spettatore invece di aumentare cala, disperdendosi nella noia. Questa serie è riuscita a tenere la mia attenzione relativamente alta per i primi tre quarti, direi, che non male a confronto delle serie analoghe. Ma anche qui, quando finalmente i due piccioncini da finti novelli sposi diventano veri novelli sposi...qualcosa va storto. Viene a mancare un ostacolo da superare, e quindi si rispolverano cose un po' a caso, dal trauma infantile di lui che gli ha lasciato la paura del buio (aspetto appena accennato nella prima metà della serie, ma che poi, di colpo, lo paralizza pur con la luce delle candele e dei lampioni vari). Lì si cade davvero un po' nel banale e nel ridicolo, con la sposina che risolve magicamente ciò che fior fior di esperti non sono riusciti a guarire semplicemente facendolo giocare a mosca cieca. Dai, anche no. Superata la paura del buio, tocca a lei improvvisare un ultimo ostacolo, perdendo la testa per la trasposizione cinematografica del proprio romanzo al punto da non dare più importanza agli amici di sempre e all'amato neosposo. Anche qui, un bel "boh" perplesso è più che giustificato. A livello di recitazione, lei nella norma, forse addirittura un poco inspida. La differenza la fa di sicuro l'attore protagonista, esteticamente forse meno bello di tanti altri ML di serie affini, ma con un fascino e un'espressività davvero apprezzabili (soprattutto lo sguardo, capace di trasmettere tutto il non detto con una semplice ma efficace alzata di sopracciglia). Non un ML che si perde nella massa di volti ben cesellati ma che i cui ruoli si confondono l'uno con l'altro. Quantomeno, Lu Bo Yan sarà un personaggio che credo ricorderò. Se siete alla ricerca di un c-drama in tema "fake marriage", allora consiglio questo.

FL bir diziyi nasıl mahvedebilir!

Dizi son ana kadar gayet iyi gidiyordu. Hikaye klasik hatta bayağı klasik yani klişe olan her şey vardı.
mesela,
-sözleşmeli evlilik
- FL ve ML'in çocukluk arkadaşı olması
-zorbalık görmüş FL
-FL'i daha önce görmüş ama yüzünü tam görmediği için onun kim olduğunu bilmeyen fakat yıllardır kızı aklından çıkaramayan 2.erkek
- ML'yi elde etmek için elinden gelen her şeyi yapan kötü kadın
vb. birçok klişeye yer vermişler. yani ne ararsan var. Buna rağmen hikaye bence gayet iyi ilerledi. Ta ki FL'in karakter gelişimi negatif bir yön izleyene kadar.

FL'den bahsedecek olursam hayatım boyunca bir başrol karakterden bu kadar nefret etmemiştim. Bencilliğin kitabını yazsa zaten paraya para demezdi, romantizmle ne işi vardı ki?


malum bölümlere kadar gayet eğlenceli iyi olan kızın şöhret, kapısını çalınca birden değişti. Her zaman en iyi arkadaşlarıyla takılan kız kendi filminde en yakın arkadaşının oyunculuğu iyi değil diye oynatmak istemedi. diğer yakın arkadaşının film için bulduğu reklamları beğenmeyip değiştir diye emretti. kocasını ihmal etti. diğer adamın otel odasında sabahladı. bunu gören set çalışanları dedikoduyu yaydı kocası insanların diline düştü ama kocası bunun için hesap sorduğunda affedersiniiz bir taraflarına takmadı.

Bugün ilk kez bir dizinin içine girip karakterin yüzüne gerçekleri vurmak istedim.

kız daha lu bo yan ile evlenmeden önce yayınevlerinin kapısında sabahlıyordu romanımı basın diye. ama kimsenin umurunda olmadı, her seferinde geri çevrildi. Çünkü romanları kaliteli değildi beğenilmiyordu. online da bile hayranı yok denecek kadar azdı. Ama evlenir evlenmez lu bo yan sayesinde daha doğrusu lu Bo yan'ın karısı unvanıyla insanlar onu takip etmeye başladı. lu bo yan Bir yayınevi şirketine kızın romanı basılsın diye yatırım yaptığı için bir yayınevinde iş buldu. lu bo yan sayesinde hayatı düzene oturdu ama kendi yeteneğiyle bu günlere gelmiş gibi kibirlendi. Sen kocan olmasaydı o şirketin kapısının önünden bile geçemezdin. Onun verdiği destekler sayesinde bir şeyler yapabildin. Evlenmeden önce seni hor gören patronun, seni her an gözden çıkaran patronun, senin varlığının farkında olmayan iş arkadaşların sen evlenince bayan lu diye etrafında dolanmaya başladı. bu senin başarın mıydı? hayır değil!!

İnsanın kendini bilmesi lazım. İnsanın geldiği yolu hatırlaması lazım. Sen yeteneklerinle var olmadın. Şanslısın ki seni var edenler vardı, bu da onların en büyük yanlışı!!

Diziyi benim gözümde bitiren FL'ydi. Onun yüzünden ML de harcandı. kız onun aşkını asla hakketmiyordu.

Gradevole

È una di quelle storie che ti guardi quando non hai voglia di pensare. Storia leggera, lui più bravo di lei non solo per il personaggio che impersona ma proprio per le doti di recitazione. Lei tende a sparire al confronto degli attori secondari. È una di quelle storie Harmony che ti accompagnano per qualche giorno. L'ambientazione, per contro, è spettacolare come i vestiti, le case, le città. Bella la fotografia.

Come tutte le produzioni cinesi è facile capire che cosa sponsorizzano e stavolta la cosa che fa più sorridere è che a casa di ricchi e pretenziosi capi d'azienda tu arrivi e loro stanno passando l'aspirapolvere. Solo per questo meriterebbe il massimo dei voti.

Diciamo che non è una storia che vi cambierà la vita ma si lascia guardare e non ha momenti stagnanti. Le puntate non sono lunghissime e quindi non è complicato finirlo.
