Hunks, Boyfriend Swap, and Poetic Justice
I wanted a romance with my latest drama crush Cheng Cheng and was not disappointed with this one. I love the plot : You Xin's boyfriend has the seven-year itch and is fooling around with her best friend (it's always the best friend or the sister/cousin). After an light accident You Xin feels playful and innocently pranks them by pretending to have amnesia, but her plan has unexpected results and she sees horrified her boyfriend and bestie taking the opportunity to make her believe THEY are a couple and that her boyfriend is his friend Yan Zhou. Her boyfriend thinks himself very clever and that his great plan will somehow result in her pining after him because her instincts/deep love will prevail (lol) while he will get some leverage to enjoy his affair, but it backfires (duh) when Yan Zhou takes his new boyfriend role very seriously, making him nervous.
SML was a total jackass, classic jerk with an inflated ego who thinks he's so great both women can only be grateful for his attention and forgive everything, so it's quite enjoyable watching him hoisted by his own petard, because his bro is sure not giving the girlfriend back. The drama started hilarious and sexy, I couldn't get enough of the ML swearing to SML he will never touch his girl, being all "I give you my word bro I would never betray you", and then flirting with her like crazy the minute after, going for a romantic sprint of steamy kisses, loud sex (in hearing range of the cheating couple), baby planning and proposals in a matter of days. Cheng Cheng is the perfect mix of intensity (while his friend was dallying with fake bestie, he was longing for her) and tenderness. At first it's clear You Xin is using him to get revenge, she didn't have the best first impression of him (she's self-conscious about her humble upbringing and overheard him telling her boyfriend she wasn't good enough for him, of course he meant the opposite but she was very hurt), but when things cool down she notices how sincere he is to her and isn't immune to his charm. It was fun and they had great kiss scenes, but once the seduction is over I would have liked a bit more tension in their relationship, maybe some cracks (ML is too perfect) instead of the very silly last minute "twist" showing us the endless meltdown of the cheating BF that went on for way too long.
Both Cheng Cheng and Ao Ri Ge Le are total hunks which made for some premium eye candy (the scenes where they are arguing together are a visual treat, too much sex-appeal in one small vertical frame), and if you enjoy FL having two very hot men being obsessed with her (while fake bestie makes a fool of herself), you know what to do.
