Not a dull moment!

8.75
(rated on short drama standards)

I came in wanting to find a nice short drama to get me out of my drama slump (overwhelmed by my cw list 😭) It worked.

Story:
-romcom with plot twists
-very entertaining (fl was a little immature at times, but it was really hilarious)
-crazy funny at the right moments
-some angst, but they made it really bearable. Like the angst was exciting and not giving me heartburn

-cute romance with loads of trust and communication (this is aspect was done better than full on 40 min per ep dramas) This is what made me love this drama so much. Even when they had bumps in their relationship, they would trust eachother more than random people who try to break their relationship.

-showed trauma in a nice way
-main leads supported each other!
-they get (arranged-ish) married and everything, but they already had feelings for eachother. (definitely, cause they had a one-night stand)

-villains were pretty 3 dimensiona;
-2cp was cute, but their ending was a little sad, but it made sense.
-fl's dad was really funny. So were ml's brothers.

Acting/Cast:
-Yang Ze is definitely experienced in the short drama world
-FL was really entertaining to watch. Love her so much!
-chemistry was pretty decent. It got better as the drama went on (as well as the kisses 😉)

-2ml was done dirty with his beard cut. It was uneven and had random patches
-clothes weren't atrocious. The same can't be said for many cdramas. Looking at you Night of Love With You.

Music:
-the OST was really, really good
-dubbing was kinda off. Like it sounded the same no matter how close or far the actors were from the screen.
-some weird sound effects, but whatever

Rewatch value:
-totally would
-nice watch!

Overall:
-Recommend!
