Th romance is dead. Let down by this drama

This is the second Ma Shiyao & Si Jia Li collaboration I watched. I had high expectations because I loved their drama "Jiu Ye Qing Zi Zhong" because of their sizzling chemistry and affectionate scenes. Oh boy, I was let down by this drama.

What I liked:
1. Kids - Both child characters played important role in this drama. The child actor & child actress did well in their roles.
2. FL characterisation - She's strong willed and kind. I liked that she was not ashamed of being a cleaner.
3. Supporting characters - I liked ML's assistant & ML's mother.
4. Styling - Outfits worn by SFL were beautiful (I love the red gown) but impractical. Who wears cocktail dresses to work?

What I disliked:
1. Snobbery - Gosh the amount of snobs (SFL, her minions) in this drama is irritating. Even ML was snobbish at the start. I disliked him for mentioning his donations to the kindergarten when talking to principal about the kids' issue.
2. Romance - Sadly the romance here is dead. There was an intimate scene at the start but after that, there were hardly any romantic scene. Not even a peck or hand-holding.
3. SFL - She's among the cruelest I've ever seen in vertical dramaland. When you used your own kid to get a man's attention, it is just despicable.
4. Slaps - The amount of slaps in this drama is just unbelievable!

Favourite scene
When the boy was envious of her female schoolmate because her mum hugged her. Such a heartbreaking scene!
