Mr. Pei Loves Her so Much (2024)

Mr. Pei Loves Her so Much (2024) is a nice romance drama with He Cong Rui as Pei Yi and Xu Meng Yuan as Lin Jia Jia as the leading couple. The drama is lighthearted and heartwarming with a strong leading lady and a male lead that can’t be manipulated. The children are a super cute elements in getting the lead couple together and they were ahead of the adults with their intelligence and antics. The leading couple has a great playful chemistry and understanding of each other but their romance lacks on the intimacy department. Still, the drama is entertaining. Enjoy it! (The drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: After one-night stand, the girl got pregnant with twins. Five years later, the CEO finally found her)

Heartwarming & hilarious tale about raising an instant family

I am a fan of He Cong Rui and Xu Meng Yuan's acting. This drama has been in my plan to watch list for 2 months. I decided to watch today on my iQiyi app because I am preparing a reddit post for the upcoming Father's day.

What I liked:
1. The kids - OMG the kids caused such a ruckus. The boy Pei Wuyou is a smartass. The girl Pei Wulv is less talkative but when the two are up to no good, they are too much to handle.
2. Writing - There are so many laugh out loud moments. There are many warm, tender, tearjerker moments too. My favourite is when the boy stated the differences in how he was treated by his "biological" mother vs how he was treated by FL.
3. Acting - Wonderful performances by the cast as this series has both comedic and dramatic moments.
4. FL characterisation - It's great to see hardworking FL who cares for the family she raised.
5. Supporting characters - I liked ML's & FL's best friends for dispensing sound advice to both of them. His parents were a fun bunch.
6. Romance - Even though there are only 2 kissing scenes, their romantic journey was a delight to watch. They started of as married strangers then became co-parents and then partners for life. I think their love language is acts of service.
7. Pacing - 99 episodes went by so fast. Good pacing but the last 4 episodes were too fast.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - ML's ex wife wasn't punished for her threats & false claims. There is season 2 of this series so I hope she got comeuppance.

Favourite scene
When FL was heartbroken to find out that the Peis lied to her.
