Fake it Til You Make It

is literally the title when i searched for it in Dramafren and wowzaaa such a amazing story! Well directed and so well written! FL is a vixen who desperately tries to escape her hopeless family situation and schemes a plot to get the attention of SML who is the bestfriend the very cold and domineering ML who despises her on sight, not only because her beauty intrigued him, because she ignored him while walking towards SML. His fierce pride and distaste for her could not stop him from falling helplessly in love with her, he said it in his own words.

Actress portraying FL looks absolutely breathtaking, her dressess stunning looking and her determination and grace so well shown in her stubborn stance, even towards the cynical ML she refused to back off. I love the even with the sexual tension between them, they had this deep connection neither of them understood. ML was absolutely flabbergasted by the Lily tatoo on her leg and her knowledge of sculpture Art making. What he did for her brought tears to my eyes, even FL was touched by his deep love for her. Her target had been his bestfriend, but he wishes she would have picked him instead,just awwww.

Arrogant CEO can't fathom being snobbed by fake heiress

This drama has one of those arresting opening scenes verticals are known for, that makes you want to drop everything you are doing to binge the rest at once (sleep ? Overrated). Jin Zi is a fake socialite desperate to escape from her horrible family who is sabotaging her art career for money, and she targets rich and famous (but not too rich or too famous) heir Xu Shao Qian who could be her golden ticket to freedom. When she appears glamorous at an elite party in a rented gown, her target's friend the Prince of Beijing Circle (or something) who is the richest and most famous, sees through her game, prepares himself to snob her, only to see her giving him zero attention, which he simply Cannot Have. His ego is bruised as he can't understand why HE isn't the prime target of her scheme. Curiosity turns to attraction, attraction to love, but he's not part of her plan and he didn't make the best first impression on her. The angst, the longing, the sexual frustration (here come the cold showers and alcohol as coping strategies), so delicious, I can't resist.

Zhao Zhen Dong is once again perfect in this (the way he looks at her !) and I vastly prefer Jin Zi in this collab than the Marshall's Runaway Wife one, her character is way more interesting. She's obviously attracted to him, but the drama explains well why it doesn't make sense for her to accept his advances. The visuals are lovely.

On the writing side, it's quite solid, but I have to give credit to the green tea : thank God for her because it's only her intervention in the last arc of the drama that pushes the leads together, as they were until then running in circles around each other. Here comes our resident scheming meimei who basically finds the SML's white moonlight and sents her his way so the FL can have a perfect excuse to break their vows. When it's not enough, she schemes a wedding crash by throwing the deadbeat parents in the ceremony, so our ML can fly to the rescue and princess carry the cute imposter away. Honestly the leads should pay hommage to her when they marry because without her, he would be crying alone in London and she would be wallowing in a tepid marriage.
