A really cute CL (Puff Kuo & Fandy Fan) for a hard love story

PLOT: The FL loses everything during her honeymoon: the wedding, her father (suicide after bankruptcy and debts), her wealthy lifestyle. She finds herself working in a pastry shop run by the ML2's father, who took her and her mother in. The ML, a spoiled and rebellious heir, also works in the pastry shop. She decides to abort the child (of her ex, whom she can't raise). ML & FL decide to enter a dessert competition. But multiple obstacles (jealous friends, family, status) will stand in the way of their relationship.

+++ A great CL = Puff Kuo & Fandy Fan, very natural, with great chemistry
+++ Lots of excellent actors
+++ Decent pace, without dragging. Enjoyable OSTs.
+++ Coherent story, relatively realistic.

### Once again, the mother characters are detestable: one in her 50s but childish (mental age = 8 years) / one ambitious, hyper-controlling, and greedy / a businesswoman without heart or tenderness... Is this Asia or are the screenwriters suffering from trauma with their own mothers?

=> Excellent drama, thanks to the interactions between Puff Kuo and Fandy Fan, who brought to life endearing and moving characters.

+++ Un super CL = Puff Kuo & Fandy Fan, très naturels, avec une belle alchimie
+++ Bcp d'excellents acteurs
+++ Rythme correct, sans longueur. OSTs agréables.
+++ Story cohérente, relativement réalistes.

### Encore une fois, les personnages de mères sont détestables : une de 50 ans mais d'une puérilité (âge mental = 8 ans) / une ambitieuse - hyper contrôle - avide / une femme d'affaires sans coeur et sans tendresse... C'est l'Asie ou ce sont les screenwriters qui ont un trauma avec leur mère ??

=> Excellent drama, grâce aux interactions de Puff Kuo & Fandy Fan, qui ont donné vie à des personnages attachants et émouvants.
