No More Pretense: Mr. Huo's Daily Desire for Reconciliation (2024)

The first vertical drama that made me cry

I watched this drama when I was in my early phase of vertical drama exploration. At that time, I selected vertical dramas to watch only from one Youtube channel, Dramazone. My perception of vertical dramas changed after completing this drama. 'No More Pretense: Mr. Huo's Daily Desire for Reconciliation' was so heartbreaking that it made me cry.

What I liked:
1. Acting - Sublime acting by Wang Yun Yun aka Cai Cai Yun and Wang Hao Zhen. Subtle (because there were not emotional outbursts) but expressive in their eyes. They really embodied their characters well that I was moved by their emotional challenges. My heart ached throughout this drama.
2. FL characterisation - She was mentally strong. Gosh I couldn't imagine living with a spouse that hates you. I understand her conflict with regards to ML's family who was nice to her.
3. Supporting characters - I liked ML's mother and sister and FL's male doctor friend.

What I disliked:
1. ML characterisation - Inaction is also an action and he being indifferent throughout their 5 years of marriage is not acceptable. He said to FL that he liked her but was it really like or guilt? Oh and I couldn't take it that his wife had to settle his scandals.
2. Romance - This came much later when ML realised his mistake and wanted a reconciliation. I personally felt that ML did not deserve a second chance. FL should end up with the doctor instead of ML.

No More Pretense: Mr. Huo's Daily Desire for Reconciliation (2024) is a nice romance drama with Wang Haozhen (as Huo Ling) and Cai Caiyun as Xiao Bai in the leading couple’s role. The leading couple did a good job bringing their characters to life but the plot relies more in the misunderstandings to create tension than in the couple’s feelings for each other. The leading actors had enough chemistry to provide a beautiful and tender romance but they spent most of the drama with a stoned or emotionless facial expression towards each other. If one looks at the male leads body language and concerned looks at the female lead, anyone can tell that he has liked her all alone. Still, the drama has a very nice ending. Enjoy it!
The drama can be found on YouTube under the caption: “After dealing with his 38 affairs with other women, she filed for divorce and he regretted it” or “My Ex-husband's Regret【Full】Stupid women live for love, now I live for myself”
