• Such a nice & sweet romantic drama about the gradual developement in marriage between the mainleads.

 Enjoyed this because there was a ver good undercurrent of chemistry between the leads. Especially with how Shu Tong would look at and be playful with Yang Shu Yu.

The FL is an epitome of grace & elegance... the change in facial expressions of the ML is so damn amazing absolutely loved the chemistry between the ML & the FL.The ML knows how to use his eyes. His facial expressions are priceless: from puppy dog to frail to ruthless.The FL was nice also, her stubborn yet softie character was amazing!  

Plot - ML is seen as crippled and controlled, abused and humiliated by his mother n half brother.. FL has strong character, lost her parents n needs money to treat her sister. ML's mother is the reason for his father's death as well as FL's parents death n her sister being hospitalized n on life support system.

No messy drama, no cheating or toxic tropes—just two sweet, ordinary people slowly falling in love, and they’re genuinely adorable together.
But I have to admit, the ML sometimes came off a little predatory and manipulative, giving me creepy vibes in certain moments.
Overall, though, it was still a good and enjoyable watch.

The story is tight, smooth, emotional, and unbelievably well-executed for its short format. Not a single episode felt choppy or confusing. Everything connects, everything matters, and the pacing is perfect.

This drama was heartbreaking and deeply satisfying in the best possible way. After 19 years of abuse, the FL finally finds someone who treats her with the softness, protection, and genuine love she always deserved—and watching that healing journey was so emotional. The ML is the perfect mix of gentle and fiercely devoted, and their chemistry? Absolutely beautiful.

The ML has a good job without being a 22-year-old billionaire, the FL is sweet, strong, and real, and the show treats her hearing aid with respect, without turning it into a plot device. It’s simply part of her, and that inclusion felt beautifully done.

• I love their chemistry, especially with how this whole drama was a slow seduction focused entirely on the two of them more than all the side characters. I also love that the FL has such a strong character and a venomous mouth but it all crumbles when he gets too close. It was worth watchin

• We have a Nice, smart and confident fml  and a shy, nerdy professor. She reborns and spends no time in declaring her own power, rights and relationships. Her schemes to get her own husband were awesome and just squeal and giggles  worthy  the way she slowly conquered her husband was cute, wholesome and sizzling at the same time.

• The attitude of the male actor teaches us to love without ruining the girl's life. His firm attitude ultimately makes the girl smart and independent. This is a really good drama and we can learn a lot from it.

• This drama I would say is ok. The male lead is handsome and possessive. A few messed up scene that really didn’t fly in me are first time they meet after 5 years apart he forced her in bed (basically raped her), choked her in the elevator, forced her to stab him.  The female lead i find blah. Yeah maybe because her character is reserved and timid. But I find her character weak and pushover. It’s true that the misunderstand was resolved after an hour of watching which is nice. Maybe it’s just me but I could not feel the chemistry between the two main characters.  Even when they are in bed and throwing seductive lines, i find acting forced and fake. Anyway, some will like the drama and some will not.

• Its really a good and different drama .leads are too perfect and they played their role fantastic to show their real emotions, pain, insecurity, love, possesion etc. He is brillient, he didn't give up, he always do different thing to take his love back.She has trust issue, after her 2nd broke up, because of that she don't want to believe him again, but, she love him too. but, she don't want to become mistress or toy of someone. Sometimes they become too funny,specially Ml . Both are doing great job. I am glad that their are no any negativity comes for them and ml handle  those 3rd parties smartly. 

• status: Dropped
• Progress: 60/84 
• Reason: This version completely ruined the slow-burn romance that made the story appealing in the first place. The emotional pacing felt off, and instead of letting feelings develop naturally, the drama made choices that were uncomfortable rather than romantic.

• A “green-flag” male lead, a flash marriage with a healthy, slowly developing relationship, no kisses, featuring a mature romance with an annoying  (fls ex)second male lead and his sarcastic friend.

• transacational and hurting relationship

• This drama is a fun time. The female lead is hired for a contract marriage until the male lead can find the girl who saved him years ago. It's the mistaken identity trope not in that he falls for someone else or anything like that, rather she has amnesia and he falls for the same person he has always loved twice . There are a few scenes where the male lead could have found out early on that it was her due to outfit choices and positioning, but ya know plot and everything . He treats her well and both her inlaws and her adoptive parents treat her well for the most part. She is hilarious.

• I enjoyed watching this  Both ML and FL are adorable. It's a great time to watched it. The brother and sister together was so good.. He make sure that his sister will not suffer. So he pursued the ML to stayed with him.  The 2 assistants are best suited for ML conscience thanks for this nice one.
