Full of fluff and laughter

I do not know why this was rated so low. I thought it was due to either poor characters, writing, but no, it's perfectly fine. As in, it's a very optimistic view - well more far fetched but I'm here to get out of touch of reality - of marrying a stranger. Especially from a dating app. As you know, there can be creeps but thankfully this doesn't even touch that. Not even the slightest. It's fluff pure on fluff which I love especially of a what if scenario that while may very foolish to some, it has a chance to work and it did. I laughed and smiled watching this. That's all I could ask for since I don't want to see misunderstandings turn to tears. I'm in my 30s, I don't need to see the hard parts of life anymore. I get it and I've went through them even. I just want a piece of happiness and boy did this deliver.

Let's get to the nitty gritty.

Story: It's very rare to find a couple whom works in the same company and in different departments. However, the reasons they do marry are real: he doesn't want his mom to worry about him living alone and for her, she wants to marry after a break up due to a cheating fool. I don't give cheaters second chances and she thankfully tells him off when the shows for a little bit at the start and then thankfully disappears after that. Praise be! The couple then finds themselves at crossroads of the simplest and big things for a couple. I won't say what, but trust me when I say this: if you want to see a nice short series of people willing to talk out things, then watch this. It's a breath of fresh air that is so refreshing.

Don't watch for the drama, it has a sprinkle of it and that's it since it doesn't drag on and on. All speed bumps are solved in a very realistic manner which I appreciate and thankful for. That isn't to say it's done quickly, it's done *right*.

Acting/Cast: The two leads have incredible chemistry to where I could get numerous cavities and the steamy scenes (they show no nudity) are very well done. The kisses sometimes are awkward but not to the point where they're tense. Rest of the cast are real and the acting was great, though I did want some more reactions of when the leads eventually told their coworkers about being married.

Music: It was so good that it didn't distract me and that says a lot for me. It fit the mood where it needed to, couldn't get better than that.

Rewatch Value: Heckin yes I will rewatch this later on the road whenever I need a sweet fluff love story pick-me-up.

Tl;dr: Watch for the fluff, don't expect much drama. Fantastic chemistry between the leads and a lovely - even if far fetched - plot. Sometimes we need a feel good short series.

Awww!

This is during the times with strict guidelines during COVID in Taiwan (which is noted through each timeframe of the day, really loved this transition: it's simple and it works). That's all i wanted, a sweet happy show. I'm so tired of angst and full blown drama.

You want a pick me up? Look no further.
You want ultra fluff? You got it. There is a slight moment of where it doesn't get fluffy due to...reasons, but it's realistic reasons. Mostly fluff though which I love to bits.
You want realistic & 3 dimensional characters? Your wish is granted
You want a sweet ending? Enough to give all your teeth cavities oh my god. There's many short videos after that they play after the "ending" and it's just - it makes me so happy.

All of that mixed into one. I never thought I needed it.

Yes it's short but it's done right. So right that I'm not even mad about how short it is!

The camera work is very real with the ways that many had to use video calls to keep in touch during COVID.

Hot but wanted more

The other reviews get more into the nitty gritty. I just really loved this. The ML was on FIRE and the FL was very cute but don't worry, she has claws of their own. I loved how teasing they are to each other. Oh and ML was ultra protective of FL, even his father. I wish it was longer though, it just has such a rushed ending that sadly felt like they were rushed :( I wanted all the loose ends to be taken care of.

The music and sfx with these short dramas are sadly my bane since it just pulls me out of the experience. The subtitles are machine translated of course but the audio just cuts it out or it just doesn't get translated leaving you having to guess. I could guess some due to watching cdramas the past years [not fluent though] but at times it was frustrating.

Also I love powerful ML leads that are quick to protect the one he loves and he owns it. Like his friend asked if he was in love and he was like "Yes." Love that! More of that please!

So sweet omg

Watched this on IQIYI's international app and I wished it was longer. It's quick but in a format that didn't make me feel like having whiplash. It definitely needs a comedy tag since I cracked up a lot while also going "Lol that's so stupid" since comedy is that: sillyness and stupid mixed in in a good way. It's hard for me to explain.

Guan Yue's performance was so much better here than what I've seen him do before in his first Drama that I watched, Night of Love with You . His character is expressive throughout and is absolutely smitten with the FL when he find out who she is, and doesn't just stare at the camera blankly. He gets sad, angry, playful, goofy, and puppy eyed. Did I mention puppy eyes??? PUPPY eyes.

Du Yu Chen did so great and it was my second drama seeing with her. Last one I watched was Ashes of Love which was years ago so I couldn't remember the character name while checking that title's cast&crew area. Her performance definitely outshines Guan Yue due to more experience but he played off her fantastically.

The chemistry? So gooooood, so hot. Wanted more kisses but I'm greedy lol

The storyline was pretty fun but the grandfather felt too "we need something funny and a bit of filler" but I loved LOVED how the two leads were married and the execution of one of them laying low while the other one was trying to hunt them down. I can't remember if it's entirely different to what I've seen (I've seen too much lol) but I really loved it. The other part of the plot I felt needed more room to grow and shine but that's the downside of short length and budget. So I rated it fairly.

The music. Okay I get it, it sets the mood and in some scenes, it fit. Other times too loud to hear their voices (yes even with subs I wanna hear them :( it throws me off if I don't). I really don't like when the music gets subbed and thankfully that wasn't an issue here yay!

Rewatch value? Absolutely, I rewatched some scenes before work today so. You bet.

Overall loved it, it's short and sweet with some drama mixed in. Comedy too lol needs that tag. So if you want something like that with a dash of cat and mouse [literally], then definitely give it a go.

The best, hands down.

This is still so good, this is what I recommend to anyone wanting to ease into BL. This is BL done right, DONE HEALTHY TOO might I add without the toxic bs that is unfortunately rampant in so many still to this day.

I've rewatched this many times and realized I never gave a review. So, here it is. I've been reading and watching BL content for many years and like I said before, the genre is chalk full of shitty stories, shitty characters, and shitty so called "love stories" that is inhumane with little respect.

The cast is amazing, the music is perfect, the story is - well, the cherry on top. Gone are the days where you go "Oh no he's gonna force himself on him" and then be met with disappointment. Not one scene with non-con nor dub-con which is already pushing the bar higher than many and should be a standard already at this point. No more forcing oneself onto the other, it's all respect here between the two and it's refreshing. If you know, you *know* what I'm talking about. This is a world of sweet and caring love and I am here for it!

Give it a go, even if it's not your thing. There's nothing naughty to worry about either for those who don't prefer it (I honestly don't mind it).

Hilarious!

I love rom coms especially when they're done right. This? While draggy at times in story wise, is still so good. I was hooked from the first episode. I'm a sucker for the "let's fool them into thinking you're the worst with me doing it" and then all hell breaks lose.

Want a pickme up? Watch this.
Want to laugh your head off? Watch this.
Want to also cry? Watch this.

Get your popcorn ready since it was what it was made for to watch two actors so like their characters that I forgot I was watching a show at some point and felt like another person in their life.
