FL finally got away from psychotic ex
I never realised that Garvey Jin has crossed over to vertical dramas until a reddit friend talked about this vertical drama. I liked Garvey in Begin Again but couldn't finish Redeeming Love. I enjoyed Zhao Mu Yan's acting but haven't watched her dramas since February. Overall I enjoyed this drama.What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - It's great to see Zhao Mu Yan as CEO who worked hard but encountered challenges due to envy. I liked that FL tried her very best to find solutions without giving into demands of bitter ex lover.
2. Romance - The start of FL-ML relationship was spicy and full of sexual tension. ML was smitten and determined to be by her side. It took awhile for FL to give into love but it's understandable considering FL had just got out of a toxic relationship.
3. Supporting characters - I really like assistant Feng & FL's subordinate.
4. Styling - Zhao Mu Yan wore beautiful outfits for this drama. I loved her red dress at the engagement party.
5. Visuals - Zhao Mu Yan was so beautiful. There were many attractive actors e.g Garvey, actors who played SML & Assistant Feng.
6. Height difference - I know Garvey is super tall and Zhao Mu Yan is tiny. Their height difference was alright due to camera angles but once or twice I saw Garvey bent a lot. Poor him!
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - OMG FL's ex was despicable for manipulation and imprisonment. He got his comeuppance alright. His father & wife were evil as well and I didn't see them getting punished.
2. ML's characterisation - I wish ML had informed FL of his real identity sooner so that FL and ML could devise a strategy to show that there was no favouritism. I also disliked feigning injury to gain sympathy from FL.
3. Relationship - I wish they had a proper discussion about their relationship once ML's secret was out.
Favourite scene
When FL was traumatised by her ex. That was scary hence memorable!

Devastated
If you just want to admire Garvey Jin, or watch it as background noise while eating, you can give it a try. But for those looking for fresh plots and logical storylines. I wouldn't recommend it. Don't be stubborn like me.First of all, the actors are truly eye-candy Zhao Muyan is both alluring, her acting is on point, and her eye acting is amazing. Love the height difference between Garvey Jin and Zhao Muyan. The ambiguous tension between the two at the beginning is full of tension and definitely hooks you to keep watching. But! The plot...Wallahi we're finished.
The plot completely revolves around old tropes, offering zero novelty. I couldn't take it anymore and gave up halfway through. The plot is too formulaic and makes me lose my mind; even the good looks of the ML and FL and the initial chemistry couldn't save it in the later episodes. Dropped.

Zhang Jia Wei!!!
MEU DEUS DO CÉU, O QUE É ESSE HOMEM?????!!!!!! Fala sério, o Zhang Jia Wei está cada dia mais delicioso kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk com o perdão do linguajar.Ele como cachorrinho/protetor/modelo/CEO foi perfeito e essa voz, fala sério!
É uma pena que o único link disponível assim que estreiou está meio cortado aparentemente ou o drama simplesmente esqueceu de alguns detalhes importantes em relação ao arco do ML para com a FL.
O resumo sem spoilers é: Ela é canário de um alucinado e encontra o ML para se vingar dele, enquanto o ML estava procurando a FL há alguns anos porque ela o salvou.. Ai já viu, começa a luta de cão e gato entre ML, FL, 2FL, 2ML.
Acho que é a terceira ou quarta versão que já assisto com o mesmo enredo, mas esse tinha uma tensão MUITO BOA entre o ML e a FL, PORÉMMMMMM, os beijos com close deixaram muito a desejar com tamanha tensão em tela.
Zhang Jia Wei, esse é o motivo para você assistir o drama. rs
