Jin Cuo Hao Men Jia Dui Lang

This adorable pair are back at it again!

Jia Yi Xuan and her handsome ML Zhen Zi Qi are paired once again in another short format drama. I've watched a bunch of these and these two never fail to catch a decent script.
This one starts out with FL coming to town in search of her beloved from childhood. Don't they all seem to fall in love when they're kids? ML is being hunted by some killers from his biological family, he breaks into her hotel room and forces her to pretend they are husband and wife, ie making fake smexy time sounds. After the danger is over, she uses her medical skills to knock him out, kindly patches up his wounds, and then flees the scene.
The whole show is basically her trying to find her long lost childhood friend and ML is trying to survive the assassination attempts of his biological family as well as the schemes by his adoptive family, only his grandma and soon FL are on his side.

They had been looking for each other without realizing who they were but still manage to fall for each other all over again. The drama is nice and the leading couple has a good team relationship but they lack zest in their intimate scenes. Overall, it is a nice watch but don’t expect a relationship with fireworks!

Romance is underdeveloped but overall OK watch

I have been missing Zhen Zi Qi lately so I picked this drama to watch. Some scenes were so familiar. Omg, it annoys me that I have watched this drama but forgot to write a review.

What I liked:
1. ML characterisation- I liked seeing different facets of ML. He was wary of FL at first but some of FL peculiarities reminded him of a childhood friend. Then his behaviour towards FL changed.
2. FL characterisation - She was on a mission and I liked that she was able to stand up to bullies. I liked how she tricked 3 bullies at the hotel.
3. Styling - I liked the teal green suit worn by Zhen Zi Qi. After watching many Jia Yixuan dramas, I feel like I know her preferred fashion style.

What I disliked:
1. Romance - While there were kisses and sweet gestures, I felt that writer & director focused too much on individual pursuits. They were childhood buddies / crush then once they met and verified identity of other person, they just resumed their childhood agreement.
2. Antagonist - I got bored with the drama, to be honest.

Favourite scene
When ML was surprised by FL's bold move
