Plenty of fun w a blunt talking FL & sexy ML
When it comes to rating a drama if it makes me laugh it gets a minimum of four stars; if the leads are good, another star; and if the story brings something new to the tropes, yet another star. This one gets a high score from me for fulfilling those three areas.Li Zi Jie and Xu Zhen have some great chemistry here. Even when the story goes off the rails, these two will keep you interested. The FL is brash and straightforward. She defends the hero and his family, and is not a shrinking violet by any means, and this leads to some very funny scenes in the first half of the drama and at the end.
The Fl actually develops a relationship with the ML's mom which I also enjoyed considering how rare it is in these dramas. Her foster brother, while an idiot, has his heart in the right place and in the end, causes a funny misunderstanding.
Some notable scenes for me:
When the FL is brought in front of his female clan to explain the marriage and the totally ludicrous story she comes up with about their first meeting.
When the FL defends ML's mom and ends up punching out his cousin (?)
The ending is feel-good hilarious.
What I didn't like, and what caused me to skip some of the later episodes:
the connection between the FL and her BFF who is ML's arranged marriage intended.
the break up between the FL and ML that drags on too long.
the CEO aspect of the FL's real life - she's a doctor! Isn't that enough?!
Overall, this is a fun ride. Just agree to the ridiculousness and you'll enjoy. Both of the lead actors are very good (and certainly the ML is very easy on the eyes).
