Mismatch? Perfect match.
A beautiful drama which I initially started it just for the arranged-marriage romance, but it offered so much more - especially in terms of character development.
I personally liked Gu Jiusi's playful nature. He was a good character from the beginning - kind, always respectful and protective of his wife. After the tragedy, I didn’t even feel like continuing because I didn’t want him to change. In Ep 15, when Liu Yuru says, “But now, I just want you to be the same as before, to go out and play like a happy kid,” it perfectly captured what I was feeling. But after watching the whole series : On the outside, it may feel like he changed drastically, but he was always the same - just more mature and reliable.
I also liked how Yuru’s perspective changed after marriage. At first, she was quite calculative, focused only on securing a stable and happy marriage. But when Jiusi asked her what she was truly interested in, it really struck her. That question pushed her to reflect, grow, and eventually learn to build and earn through business on her own.
I felt sad for Jiusi’s mother - such a strong woman, yet after moving and losing her husband, she seemed to lose her spark. The middle became more political, and while it was fine, I enjoyed eps 1-14 the most.
