To fall in love ahain and again in the same person
It's a series with a very interesting case study; something that can only happen to individuals around the world, not a common occurrence. It's about love amnesia. When you are in some peak feeling of love, your brain shuts down and you forget the person you love. Kind of like overloading the RAM of a computer.I don't know if this problem can be solved like it is in the show, which is to fall in love with the same person every other time, but if it's possible, it's interesting. Emotion makes you forget and at the same time emotion leads you with your internal memory back to the same person. In general, nothing has a stronger impact on us than emotions.
This drama tells the story of a difficult love. A man who forgets the woman he loves three times, then falls in love with her again because his heart is drawn to her. The situation is especially difficult for the woman because she is in the situation of being forgotten three times and fighting for her love. In fact, the first time she did not want him to remember, but remembering once, she was no longer able to give up his love.
Both actors in the lead roles are beautiful and one watches them with pleasure and tenderness,

Needs some work...
Ok I have a few things to nitpick about this show. So here it goes...Story... I liked the storyline. I thought it was good. But it needed a TON and I mean a TON of work!
The main male lead has “love amnesia”. When he falls in love he forgets the main female lead. There were a few flashbacks on why this happens but nothing came of it. Someone in a tub with roses? But what happened? Why did it happen? So frustrating! All of a sudden he started to remember his past with her and that was pretty much the end of his love amnesia. 🤦🏼♀️ I don’t get it. I am really confused. Why would you not finish it? I also felt there were a lot of other loose ends to some issues that did not finish or did not make sense in how they ended them. Like I said the storyline needed a TON of work.
If you are going to put out a show and want people to like it turn the music down so you can hear what they are saying. There were a lot of scenes the music was so loud that you could not hear what was being said. I had to turn it sown because it was so obnoxious! And what was up with the parts of no sound at all??? You can not hear them talk or anything. No music, no talking, just minutes of dead silence. So glad there was CC because I would have really marked this show down if I could not at least read what was going on or being said.
Also, when they “knock” on a door in some scenes there was no sound. Some of the sound was off track too! And the breathing!!! Omg! I heard more breathing than anything half the time. 🙄
Ok I am off my soapbox now. Lol
All in all I did “like” the drama. The last two episodes made up for a few of the problems. I really really liked the ending. Most dramas cut out the good stuff. This one did not disappoint me at all. The ending was fulfilling.
Music... drove me nuts! The audio was not good on this and I am kind of shocked they allowed it to show with all the sound issues they had. Some of the songs I would not mind to have but the music has just blah to me.
Acting... could have used some work. I felt it was just so so in some parts. maybe it was not so much as the acting but the script. It kind of reminded me of the drama “Well Intended Love” (the first one).
Rewatch? Yes, I would. But it will be a good long while before I do.

Must Watch!
Woah! Amazing drama. Loved the chemistry of the main leads as well as the other lead couples. I wish the main lead couple could be really life couple. Story: Basically revolves around a handsome, workaholic CEO Yan who is brilliant in his work and a beautiful, smart and intelligent secretary Nie. They were a couple when Nie was in college and Yan also proposed her but before her reply, he faints and loses all his memory about her due to love amnesia ^~^. Then after 5 years, they meet again but like stangers (since Yan still doesn't recollect his memories), and he gets fascinated by her knowing all his likes and gets her to become his chief secretary. Wait! That's not all! This isn't even one-third of their story. There's a lot more faced by them in their love story. I feel it is a must watch drama. Acting: Emotions amazingly expressed by both the Main leads. The male lead was very cute and the female lead was so beautiful with open hair. Great acting done by both of them. I did cry at a number of scenes. But, I must say they have a sparkling chemistry together. The other actors did an amazing job as well, especially the second and third lead couples. Music: It was better than what I expected. Then? What are you waiting for, go ahead and watch it. It is available on YouTube as well as dramacool.Was this review helpful to you?

Cute rom com
I came to write a review after finishing this drama. Though we have seen many cdramas like ceo having amnesia this drama is really beautiful.If u are planning to watch then go for it.Eden Zhao and lulu have done excellent performance and also other two couples are really cute😍😍every one in their office ha ve done an amazing performance.One thing i git surprised is that there is one full episode after the marriage and it's too cute😍😍one thing i felt annoyed is that music sound is too high through out the series and cannot hear some words inbetween due to high sound otherwise it's too good 😍😍 worth watching 😍😍😍Was this review helpful to you?
And I thought it was lighthearted..
So this for this drama; you either finish watching all 24 eps or you’ll drop it halfway. As for me the storyline is pretty straightforward romance between a capable young girl who met a rich guy when she was in university and the guy had issues due to trauma... and they story goes on.Had noticed Zhao Zhi Wei (Eden Zhao) ever since his work (le coup de foudre) a great actor who carries his emotions well. As for the FL, Lulu Xuan, looked up on her and found that she actually has many works that are notable ( will definitely catch them as this is the first drama of hers I’m watching). She’s pretty good as well! I realised at certain glances she looks like Moonbyul (from KPOP girlgroup mamamoo)
So this drama is worth watching if you could go bear with the bgm overlapping dialogues as well as the bgm coming in at wrong timings (imo). Other than that, I shed enough tears and laughed out loud through 24 eps!
PS. Definitely my type of ending

Entertaining & not as cliche as expected
Just to get it out of the way, yes the writing is pretty bad, but most of the time it's not annoying.Yes, it's weird that the amnesia thing happens twice, but I was not annoyed by that very much at all. The problem is not the second amnesia itself, but rather how ML acts for a while after it happened. A rational person would not turn so hostile to a woman that claims to be his girlfriend. Do verify before burning all the bridges, right? In the second half of the drama there is a lot of on and off dating/ will they, won't they stuff, however it was quite entertaining most of the time, except shortly after the aforementioned second amnesia and episode 20 was just a horrible horrible episode, with a recycled plot used in an intelligence insulting way. Yeah sure there is also quite a bit of noble reason bullshit as well, but overall I think it's acceptable.
The love triangles are weak and almost entertaining & end in a timely manner. The writer did a great job in this regard, triangle haters can safely watch this.
I'm not a fan of "Eden" Zhao, but this is by far his best performance that i've seen. (okay, he was good in Le Coup de Foudre as well) As for FL I've seen her in The Untamed and she was far better here, especially in the second half of the drama, she had some very amusing facial expressions and had great chemistry with Zhao.
The story may be bad, but the comedy is really on point throughout the drama. The side couples are not that special or anything, but there is nothing much to hate about them really. The fluff is good, at least whenever we are in the "on" phase.
People in the comment section complained about the cause of the amnesia being really stupid. I think it was not bad at all, it's nicely explained & it's not COMPLETELY unreasonable by cdrama logic standards. It's far better than let's say being allergic to one's own tears.
The OST is bad, but most of the time it's just unnoticeable. There is some weird Christmas music there, but not too much, it's not the most offensive OST that I've heard.
Yes the early episodes are very Secretary Kim-like, but is that really a bad thing? I think not. The second half of the drama is substantially different.
TLDR: This is a VERY entertaining romCOM, with some minor & not so minor frustrations.

Love, is falling for the same person over & over again
Episode 7, ML was hurt by FL's lies. FL is crying her heart out. While I'm still clueless.. The first quarter of the show is a bit draggy and to be honest, it's hard to relate to. Some of the decisions/reactions they've made are unrealistic to say the least. I almost dropped the show plenty of times, glad I didn't.Watching the show became a lot more easier as the mystery of the ML disease comes to light. An unusual traumatic experience caused his selective amnesia. This is the biggest issue for the main couple.
I like the supporting characters too. They gave additional flavor to the show.

Give This a Chance- Ignore Annoying Background Music
I almost gave up on this drama because of the annoying background music and dubbing . I'm wondering if this is how the actual drama was released by the network TV or if the background music and dubbing just got messed up during subtitling and posting on YouTube, as some parts had missing audio in MangoTV channel. Too bad because aside from some annoying background music the actual songs from OST are not bad. Cinematography is nice too, everything looks crisp and pleasing overall. Anyway, I am glad I held on and completed this drama. Sure the story seems cliche on the surface about rich guy CEO falling for a middle class woman and amnesia but I found the presentation and flow of the story to be refreshing and somewhat different despite being cliche. The main leads start having romantic chemistry around episode 5 and the kisses are realistic not the usual deer in the headlight kisses that Chinese dramas are known for. There is a little bit of love triangle that does not last long and very tolerable. There were a lot of funny moments especially during scenes with the supporting cast. The second leads have a cute romance story that just blended well with the main leads story not overwhelming nor taking up too much time from the main leads. If you stick around towards the end of this drama you will be rewarded with an adorable happy ending :-)Was this review helpful to you?

Forgot out of 10
The premise was good, the series started out strong and everything was good until the constant amnesia came along. It became a bit of a pain to watch. The FL was a very well-written character in my opinion as she had a strong moral sense and was a strong character in general. The characters and the fluff are the things that save the drama from the abyss of Cliche Town.All in all, if this series went in another direction halfway through, I think it would be of higher value. The amnesia was just ridiculous to be honest, just watch for the fluff.

I personally enjoyed this!
It's more accurate to say that I was sold after watching the first episode! I never expected much since I just randomly saw the synopsis of this on a sponsored post in Facebook and I thought, this seems to be a What's Wrong With Secretary Kim-ish type of drama. Well, I wasn't so wrong. Because the 1st half of the drama was indeed similar to it. But...! On the second half, the plot switched into something like the Kdrama Devilish Charm.Overall, I love this. The plot is cliche, but light. Very easy to watch. No annoying characters except for one I guess (but that character is short-lived and really added spice to the story so that's acceptable). The plot twist (i.e., the disease, if you know what I mean) is kinda weird to me tho. Like, the drama is already looking real and all of a sudden they dropped that kind of absurd bomb. But yeah, since I never expected anything in the first place, I generously accepted it for the drama's sake.
The side couples' stories are sooo cute as well! Out of all supporting casts, Zhao Yuanfang is my favorite! He's been the most positive character of them all, funny, and always has the FL's back in whatever situation... On top of being handsome.
Now onto the romantic scenes - hands down pure awesomeness. It's so good seeing our main characters not holding back on such. I mean, they aren't supposed to. The kissing scenes look very genuine they made me giggle while watching.
If you are looking for a real light-hearted romcom, I recommend this. But I suggest you lower your expectations so you can enjoy.

For those who appreciate Rios PPL
To enjoy this you must appreciate classic Rio PPL as this drama is packed with creative and not so creative ways to incorparate Rio into the scenes... And the drama reminded me a bit of other C-dramas that also had excessive Rio PPL so if you loved those you will probably love this.The drama itself is packed with cliches combining the plot form the American movie 50first dates and Korean Drama What´s Wrong With Secretary Kim. Entertaining but also draggy and a bit to repetitive at times making me lower the score.
The main couple has lovely chemistry and are fun to watch, the female lead is well composed smart and very lovable. The male lead is an easily melted icicle that is in a pot on a stove where the heat keeps going on and off... Both leads change their minds more often than it rains in Dramaland, which ended up getting on my nerves. However they stayed interesting an smart thru out. The drama.
The side characters are mid annoying to lovable, but do fall in to a bunch of over used cliches + why can´t dramas just let people be single instead of shipping every single character... The parents are also pretty decent, and having one of them being played by Sunny Hao it is to be expected that at leas one mom will be pretty lovable. And the drama does have some nice takes on my beloved clichés
So why the 7,5 and not higher, partly the sound and quality of the subs on the official streaming sight the sound kept going on and off again which of course effected my experience, so if you do find this in a place where everything works you may rate it hinger. However the dubbing was miss matched which I assume will be an issue wherever you watch it. The other part is the draggy parts and a bunch of unnecessary repetitive amnesia stuff. I love my amnesia but it can be too much. Another thing is the screen time that went to the side characters and their stories that just did not captivate me at all.
So there is a lot of good, and if you are in the mood for a smart female lead, a lot of clichés and Rio this is a good place to find it just mind the sound. If you do not enjoy Rio PPL I advise you to watch something else
