When gold-digging goes bad, well sort of….
To start it is believed, this is the typical story of the poor wholesome girl trying to fit into the world of affluence that surrounds her future husband. However, this conclusion is quickly shattered when it’s revealed that the FL’s entire imagine – name, family etc. is all a fabrication. With this reveal the story immediately becomes incredibly interesting.
The series proceeds with the audience watching the FL carefully and cunningly weaving her web of lies while tap dancing her way out of her duplicity nearly being exposed. Of course, her plan to build the perfect life doesn’t go as planned. For her wealthy fiancée who is nothing short of amazing has weaved his own web of lies.
Things eventually crumble with both she and the ML having no room to deride the other considering each had contributed their own deceptions that led to the disaster that blew up their marriage. In the mist of the leads trying to work through the lies and rebuild their marriage on love, this the series, incorporated some ambition career moves for them both , nice personal growth and shocking corporate treachery.
There was always something interesting going on. However, the show did overdo it with the struggles the FL encountered, and the interlopers to the leads and the second leads relationships was insufferable. Their presence in the story was simply to cause unnecessary drama. Moreover, after all the drama around the ML’s secret kid, the writers decided to undo that fact in the end. Again, drama for drama’s sake and completely unnecessary. Additionally, the ending to the corporate storyline was a little wonky and the series created all the drama with the son, but once he served his purpose we didn't see him again which was odd.
That aside, this was a really good series. The love story was lovely. Zhao Lu was fantastic as the FL. Great acting. She and William Chan had a natural chemistry that made their coupledom absolutely believable. Xu Yan and Shen Hao Ming were such a bada** power couple who could make any business deal happen. Loved them. This was an enjoyable series. One that I will rewatch often.
