Different story
First time to watch a Chinese short drama that shows dual personality. Actor and actress are both great and have perfect chemistry. Been a fan of Zhai Yi Ying and always anticipates watching her dramas. Love to see her with Wang Yi Lei and hoping for more collaboration in the future. Drama is short though could have been better if it’s a bit longer.Was this review helpful to you?

I don’t regret watching it; it made up for ten bad dramas. And I’m not ashamed
Finally it has a good plot and a cool female lead.
Even though it starts out cliché: she has an abusive family, she’s forced to marry a cold, rich jerk whose love language is casual choking, all because our heroine’s mother is ill.
But everyone miscalculated, because this girl can not be abused easily.
She doesn’t tolerate mistreatment, and she fights back. She’s definitely not a timid, innocent lamb—after all, she’s already seen the upper class’s clumsy little tools. It was truly refreshing to see such a mentally strong and smart woman. She could give lessons to all the ladies in the rest of the Vertical dramas.
Our male lead plays a double role: at first he’s the ruthless , cold and impotent man, and then he becomes the gentle, flirty, sheet-acrobat type.
He was great at both. And sexy.
I also liked that the hero's people were honest, and the evil relatives couldn’t get close to their home. At least in their own house they were safe and free to focus on their own chaos.

Me, my husband, and...?
Short and fun, but it mainly works thanks to the charisma and talent of its main duo. The plot tries to juggle way too many ideas. She's the best andrologist, he can't get it up, and only her can have his babies ! Cue arranged sexless marriage to the CEO because of course her sick mom is taken hostage by the token evil step-family who wants the bridal gifts ! But suddenly, his twin brother replaces him during their wedding night and it's a success ! But wait, it's actually him, he has dissociative disorder and is having an affair with his own wife ! Or does he ? Anyway, whoever she's sleeping with, they better continue because evil uncle is scheming against them and doesn't want another heir in the family ! It's fun at first since they keep us guessing what is actually going on, but I wish they had picked a theme and stick with it, because once the novelty fades it ends up being very scattered and superficial. As I said this is very much a power couple kind of romp, Wang Yi Lei and Zhai Yi Ying are having fun and are a delight to watch, but the secondary cast is very tepid and underwritten, and the story is all over the place. I only recommend it if you're a fan of the main actors or if the story really appeals to you.Was this review helpful to you?
