Hei Qian Jin Mei Tian Du Zai Xian Da Lian (2025)

extremely cute and satisfying

the vertical drama equivalent of a cupcake from a fancy bakery: yes it's pure sugar, but it's pretty and delicious and you won't regret it later. decent production value (though there are some typically ill-fitting costumes), chock-full of soap opera tropes. any misunderstandings between the leads are cleared up quickly, and they spend most of their time teasing each other, helping each other out, and kissing. i had a great time. i watched on netshort under the title "bye crush, hello playboy hubby".
