Steal the bride
This was surprisingly cute and entertaining ! The plot is nothing to write home about, it's yet another take on the girl who is over being a mistress, wants more, flies away, tries to have a normal life with a normal guy but is chased by her obsessed, powerful lover who's not over her. She won't yield until he makes a decent proposal, tale as old at times, successful and addictive since forever. I find this one a bit better than the usual bottom of the barrel fare about possessive CEOs and their runaway kept lovers : the cast is young and charming, their characters have a very active libido (it's like the writers had a timer and knew when to throw a make out scene to keep us awake, I won't lie : it works), and they (kinda) talked about their problems. SML and SFL were the usual scum of the earth treacherous, slappable bitches. The way the main conflict is resolved feel like the writer just gave up, but it's also fun : dad in law is suddenly okay with our couple simply because she was pregnant once with his son, and goes from electric chair murder to giving his blessings in minutes (I'm not even joking). Talking about blessings ! The reason why I clicked on the video was because of an extract of the ML kissing the FL during her wedding ceremony right in front of her groom, and then creating an excuse on the spot about the very well-known western tradition of the officiant blessing the couple by kissing the bride (yes of course, no wedding in the west would be complete without the officiant kissing the bride instead of the groom, that makes total sense ?? The fact that everyone was nodding along cracked me up). Overall it's a fun watch, not very clever or anything but the cast is charming and the endless chasing is less aggravating than usual thanks to plentiful sexytimes and some fun randomness.Was this review helpful to you?
Obsession of a Genuinely In-loved
I got tired of ML abusing the FL or cheating against her then the series of revenge from the offended FL so I tried to search for new formulas. I accidentally found this drama about the handsome CEO - ML very obsessed with the poor but very beautiful FL I am not disappointed at all. The ML played by Chen Rui Feng is perfect for the role of the possessively obsessed young, handsome CEO who is all out to win the FL to be his alone. The FL is very beautiful with such a kissable lips that I can say it is justifiable that the ML is so obsessed of her.Looking at the face of the ML, his slender and long legs as well as torso and his kissable lips I was telling myself the FL is crazy for running away from him. Hihihi... On the other hand, I admire the FL because she is strong-willed. She allowed herself to be hired by the ML only to pay for her own tuition fees abroad which is always very expensive. Then afterward, she strongly resisted the sexual advances of the ML because she wanted to be free from being "For Hire" and live as a young, dignified professional. She understands well that their differences in social status is so wide and the obsession of the ML is only making her a sex object and not a manifestation of love at all. She wanted to be loved genuinely and not to be a mere sex toy anymore.
The dedication given by the ML to the FL is so praiseworthy. He was consistently helping and protecting. What I do not understand is that the FL seems to be very easy to believe other people rather than the ML who has loved her so much. She was easily fooled by the scumbags.
