The Good, the bad and the ridiculous

What I Loved:

1. The Chaotic Start: Yuan Yueyue running into Wen Jinchen’s car, then thinking he’s just an employee. Hilarious! Their initial bickering and chemistry had me hooked from the beginning.

2. Yueyue’s Antics: Her bold and sometimes clueless behavior made her so relatable and funny. From her creative schemes to escape the fake marriage to her attempts to hustle at Jinchen’s company, she’s a riot.

3. Jinchen’s Secret Identity Plot: I loved how Jinchen went to absurd lengths to keep his identity hidden, all because he wanted Yueyue to fall for him genuinely. That whole “lights off” gimmick was ridiculous but fun.

4. Sibling Drama: The tension between Yueyue and Siya felt real, especially with the whole bride swap and Siya’s complicated relationship with Liangye. It added depth to the story.


What Didn’t Sit Right:

1. The Overcomplicated Deception: Jinchen posing as a “master” and Yueyue mistaking him for a servant for almost the entire drama? Unrealistic! No way a CEO could hide his identity that well.

2. Xuezhi’s Endless Misery: His bar-hopping and self-pity became exhausting. He didn’t seem to grow as a character, and his connection with Liangye was baffling.

3. Ye Zhiyu’s Villain Arc: Her motivations were unclear. Was it love? Revenge? Power? She just kept meddling, and it got old quickly.

4. The Wig on Siya: That wig was a crime against aesthetics. It made her look awkward and hard to take seriously.

5. The Unrealistic Office Dynamics: How did no one at Jinchen’s company ever slip up about his identity? The lengths to which the writers went to maintain the ruse were ridiculous.

6. The Grandfather’s Sudden Redemption: His drastic turnaround in the last episode didn’t feel earned. One minute, he’s controlling everyone’s lives; the next, he’s a family cheerleader.

7. Dragging the Big Reveal: Yueyue hiding her real identity for so long felt overdone. By the time she confessed, I was just glad it was over.


This drama had its highs and lows. I loved the humor, the chaotic romance, and the underlying message about genuine love and family bonds. But the convoluted twists and excessive drama sometimes made it hard to stay invested. It’s one of those shows that makes you laugh, roll your eyes, and occasionally sigh at how much the characters overcomplicate their lives. Would I recommend it? Sure, but with a warning to brace yourself for some serious dramatic overkill!
