SO-SO PLOT, SENSUAL ML
I just really love Zhang Shan’s laugh. (She and actress Han Yutong have great laughs).
The production, directing and acting are all fine, but the storyline is pretty mediocre. For me, its REALLY tedious when leads extensively lie about their identity, (unless they HAVE to, like a government agent or underground crime boss). But... I was warned in the synopsis, so I have no excuse for having watched it 😉. The lying went on for most of the drama, so there’s no REAL feeling of the leads getting to know each other’s TRUE selves (except for that the ML doesn’t hide his sensuality).
When the truth finally came out in the very last few episodes, the drama was more likeable (for me). It was SO cute when the ML was apologizing and he drew an air-heart for the FL, saying his love was genuine. I also thought it was funny and endearing how the business-rival parents grumpily and reluctantly decided to work together for the sake of their kids.
The wedding at the end, was annoyingly interrupted (as usual) by the ML’s ‘girl’friend, awkwardly confronting him and confessing to him on the stage at his wedding. (No one does this tactless crap in real life, lol). Then, more absurdly (also as usual), she tries to stab the FL on the public stage. (Haha, give me a break. Who would be dumb enough to send themselves to jail instantly for attempted homicide? 🙄) Aaanyway, the ML’s inner dialogue and vows were very cute.
Even though this drama was overall ‘meh’, I did like the ML’s character, genuine sweetness and pursuit of FL. He has great chemistry. The FL character has a cute personality too, but she is too prudish for the first 2/3. Unless she truly just didn’t like the ML, it makes no sense for her to draw a line after having had a one-night stand AND liking the ML enough to ask for a flash marriage / contract. The cat was already out of the bag 😳.
