FANTASTIC FUN

To me, this was almost perfect entertainment. I really liked everything about it. The production quality and acting is good. The storyline is SO fun and it has a delightfully humorous ending. The characters are wonderful. I love that the FL has 5 brothers, showing all their different personalities, which felt relatable to me having 4 brothers. The writers gave the leads and the parents thinking brains this time, so they aren't annoyingly falling for the greentea's lies. There's more trust and so its a nice break from the usual vertical C-drama angst. The leads have endearing chemistry throughout... Its just that there isn't ENOUGH focus on their romance. The drama is mostly centered around the FL's badassery, and the romance is just part of that story. And, she really IS awesome. She's strong, clever, talented, fun, patient, and mature, with a fantastic personality. I love her character. She's one of my favorites out of all the C-dramas I've seen, both regular AND vertical. The ML is adorable and brave, with a lot of integrity, and I love how enthralled he is with her. When he looks at her, he is captivated. Zhang Beixi and Wang Qianhui are so well matched in this story. Maybe this drama just needed to be longer or have a part 2 in order to accommodate the romance parts. Or, maybe just trim some excess. Regardless, this is now one of my favorite vertical dramas. 🩵
