Amazing drama with
TLDR: This is now one of my favourite C-Dramas and on my top recommended list for romance dramas
TW: Kidnap, Bullying, Trauma, Secrets
Story: I have to say I wasn't sure I would like this drama as it seemed like it was too simple of a story but the acting and overall production made it so much fun to watch. The FL is a tough, hard working woman who has experienced her share of trauma and bullying from growing up poor and trying to make it amongst elitists, while the ML is the typical rich and about to "inherit" high position type guy.
It starts of with the classic MIL not liking the fiancée and tries to meddle bits and a lot of covering up lies and deception but evolves beautifully as everyone gets to know each other. There are some moments where you just want to tell them to talk already and tell each other but to me, In this drama it is far less frustrating because the reasons to not say some things are grounded in the characters experiences and do make sense.
I love the couples development and growth and really like that despite the intrigue becoming a larger focus in the later episodes it does not feel too contrived or stretched for me but actually has managed to keep me well engaged. And I am the kind to get distracted FAST so I am quite impressed.
Acting: I just love Zhao Lusi in this. It is so nice to see her away from the naive "Bambi" role and in a strong independent one - although I did like her previous dramas as well with the odd exception. It really shows her acting range and ability to bring across complex emotions.
I loved the kids acting he was very believable as moody teenager and his interactions with the ML and FL were amazing. Everyone else was brilliant to I thought but I really liked those two the best
Production wise I felt it is beautifully shot with nice locations and mhsic/scenery matching the mood.
