Ta De Hu Xi Sheng Yi Du (2025)

Second story based on a webnovel - steamy, sweet and good chemistry between leads

I am a big fan of the other version of this story, Love Quietly Arrives starring Ma Qian Qian and Sun Yue. thehepburn mentioned this version last year but only felt compelled to watch it recently as I have a reddit column comparing two dramas based on same source. I enjoyed this drama but prefer the other version immensely.

What I liked:
1. Romance - There was love and lust and I loved it. I liked that she didn't not resist ML's advance even from the start. I felt like ML liked to attack FL with kisses.
2. FL characterisation - I liked that she was a qipao designer proud of her work.
3. Acting - I liked the leads' performances. Shi Tong's FL was humble and hardworking without showing off her inheritance. Zhong Zheng added some mystery to his character. Both had good chemistry and I bought their romance.
4. Supporting characters - FL's bestie was awesome. I liked FL's grandmother even though she only appeared at the start of the drama.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - I didn't like FL's siblings. ML was silly to think he's deserving of their grandma's inheritance.
2. Smoking - ML smoked a lot throughout the drama. It was a turn off for me.
