Reviews
a supportive ML
Overall: I appreciated how Lin Xiao was kind and supportive. 55 short episodes. Aired on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/album/%E6%8D%A1%E4%B8%AA%E6%80%BB%E8%A3%81%E5%BD%93%E7%94%B7%E5%8F%8B-2025-1oqynntut75Content Warnings: drugging, sexual assault, manipulation
What I Liked
- visuals (once that awful facial hair disappeared)
- a character didn't take advantage of another character because he was drugged/not in his right mind
Room For Improvement
- too much of the evil family
- comedy sound effects didn't make things funny
- almost needed to be more unhinged/dramatic to really pull me in (or get rid of the annoying family members)
The Real Summary
Phakin (Winner Tanatat Kunaneksin) is the CEO of Araya Capital and has been hiding his identity due to assassins. Just after he learns that the assassins are dealt with he reunites with his childhood love, Natee (Chris Christopher Tyler Chindapol). Natee's family is in desperate need of financial assistance so try to marry him of to Irene (Gunji). Phakin saves Natee from marrying Irene by offering to "fake" marry him but he also hides the fact that he is the CEO of Araya Capital. Chinese drama style clashes happen between the couple and Irene as well as Natee's family. Ends with a wedding. Many questions are asked about the intelligence of Natee and his family for failing to figure out that Phakin and CEO Phakin are the same person.Honestly the most hilarious part was when Phakin himself questioned Natee's intelligence when he failed to understand that he is CEO Phakin.
