Quite underwhelmed Han Yutong drama.
I watched this last year and it was Han Yutong longest drama i try to digest since there is no chemistry between her and Zhao Guanyu.The script isn't particularly innovative. FL saves her income to support her boyfriend's PhD studies, and he promises to marry her after graduation. When he graduates and their child is older, FL plans to register the child's birth, only to discover he has a pregnant girlfriend and overhears a conversation between him and his future mother-in-law. It turns out that years ago, her boyfriend got her drunk and sold her to someone else for money, but she accidentally went to the wrong room and had sex with a stranger.
She meets the child's biological father—the male lead—at the Civil Affairs Bureau and they are getting flash marriage .
ML is stubborn and narcissistic, but reliable in crucial moments, fiercely protecting FL. After getting to know the FL's daughter, he's also very good to the child. His only moment of lapse in judgment is when a female supporting character impersonates him. In the end, the ML discovers that his "white moonlight" is the FL, and the family of three has a happy ending.
Still decent to watch but the pace was really slow.

It's a pretty good miniseries, not too disjointed. Just when you think they've got it figured out, BAM, another plot twist! The story was easy to follow, and the kid actress was adorable. The main actors had good chemistry, and there were plenty of wardrobe changes. The ending felt rushed, but it still wrapped everything up nicely.Was this review helpful to you?

Hidden idenity & secret child drama with formidable antagonist
I saw this drama on iQiyi and thought "Why not watch it on the app?" since I am a fan of Han Yu Tong & Zhao Guan Yu.What I liked:
1. Dynamics - I enjoyed watching interactions between ML and FL's daughter. Even though he was her stepfather, there was emotional connection betweem them.
2. Antagonist - This is one of the handful times in which I liked antagonist's arc. It's great to see how a friendship is tested.
3. Supporting characters - FL's daughter has a good arc - substantial impact to ML's life. I also liked ML's grandma as she wasn't pushy with FL.
4. Styling - At first I didn't understand FL's choice of clothes but later I figured out why. I liked the outfits chosen to cover a scar that might be recognisable by ML. I also felt bit weird seeing Zhao Guan Yu without spectacles.
What I disliked:
1. Romance - Slow burn romance with little communication about their romantic feelings. It was also frustrating that Zhao Guan Yu & Han Yu Tong never had proper kissing scenes when both of them are capable of real onscreen kisses. I also didn't sense any chemistry between them two.
Favourite scene
When FL's daughter missed ML but realised that there was something off between FL and ML's relationship
