The kissiest "I marry my ex's father" story

I am a massive fan of Huang Bo. I thought this was an uncle romance drama but it turns out to be a drama with I marry my ex's father storyline. It had been awhile since Huang Bo played a green flag character so I was extremely delighted to see him in positive light. I enjoyed this drama immensely.

What I liked:
1. Romance - Huang Bo was very kissy in this drama. There were 2 kissing scenes within the first 15 minutes. Out of the many I marry my ex's father vertical dramas, this drama has the most kissing scenes. On a serious note, I liked that ML didn't allow FL to avoid conversation about their relationship. He asked FL to give him and their relationship a chance.
2. Hidden identity - ML found out thar his son was FL's ex early on in the drama. I also liked that ML's work identity was revealed in the first 30 minutes. He also came clean to FL soon after.
3. ML characterisation - He trusted FL from the start - he never doubted her kind and sincere demeanour. I also liked seeing his softer side when he was with FL.
4. FL characterisation - Likeable even though she was a damsel. At least she didn't buy her ex's lies. She also showed some growth once she got into serious relationship with ML.
5. Acting - Zhi Peng seemed like a new and young actress. For me, she gave a good performance as unworldly young woman in relationship with much older man. She also never shied away from intense kissing so well done to her. Huang Bo gave good performance too especially when his ML showed his softer side.
6. Supporting characters - I liked ML's assistant.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - We had dumb (Jiao Jiao) and dumber (Ming Hao). Their envy was next level. Ming Hao was childish & undeserving of his family's wealth.
2. ML's mother - I disliked her for being easily manipulated.
3. Bullying - FL was often bullied at workplace and at home. These scenes ought to be reduced or omited - I prefer the couple to get more screentime.

Gostei da atuação da Zhi Peng, aparentemente não a conhecia. Raramente vejo FLs beijando e transando com o ML no relacionamento desde o início, é realmente um milagre, tinham um relacionamento mais real do que nos demais dramas que estamos acostumados a ver. Nem todos os beijos foram coreografados de maneira bonita, principalmente alguns em que eles estão com o close de câmera, mas os de ângulo mais aberto foram bons. Foi uma surpresa positiva.
Não tenho o que falar do Huang Bo, sou fã, gosto quando ele interpreta personagens que não são canalhas kkkk

Mas então o porque da nota baixa? O drama tem 2 horas e 20 minutos e a FL é humilhada de todas as formas, o drama inteiro, seja no trabalho, com a 2FL e o 2ML, seja com a família dela, seja com a mãe do ML. É exaustivo. Sério, foram 20 minutos de 1 única cena, onde 13 minutos ela ficou sofrendo humilhações, como sempre sozinha porque o ML sempre é chamado para resolver algo, pela família dela, até que ele aparece e ficam mais quase 10 minutos debatendo, me poupe. É muito abuso e tempo de tela, invés de focar no desenvolvimento do relacionamento dos dois, que por sinal era bom e deveriam ter explorado mais.
