I have to say, the female lead was REALLY obsessed with the male lead in the beginning. She liked him so much that she was willing to accept basically anything just to stay close to him. First, she gets into his company by pretending to be a male programmer because apparently this man decided his company should be *men only.” cause his one ex lover did something

Girl... you're already a talented programmer. Why are we doing all this???
Then, after all the family pressure and everything else, they actually get married. At first, it's basically a contract marriage, but obviously things don't stay simple for very long. Once his ex comes back into the picture, everything starts getting complicated.

And because both his ex and the female lead have names starting with Li, obviously we get...MISUNDERSTANDING!!!

There was also the whole situation where they were intimate, but the male lead was drunk and thought it was a dream afterward. SIR??? And because of all the confusion surrounding Li Man and Lu Li, things just kept getting worse.

But honestly, what I loved most was seeing the female lead change. In the beginning, she was so focused on him that she was willing to keep putting herself second. She was constantly trying to make the relationship work, even when she wasn't being treated the way she deserved.

And then she finally gained some self-respect. She served him divorce papers.
CHEF'S KISS.

He VERY much deserved that divorce.
After spending so much time with her chasing him, I loved seeing the tables completely turn. Suddenly HE'S the one chasing HER and trying to get her back. And the fact that he's doing all this while thinking the baby isn't even his makes it even more chaotic.

Like sir... LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

I actually really enjoyed watching him chase her because it was such a complete reversal from the beginning. She spent so much time trying to get his attention, and now he's the one realizing what he's about to lose.

And the second lead was also super fun. I genuinely enjoyed his character and the energy he brought into the story. He made things more entertaining without making me want to throw my laptop across the room every time he appeared, which is already a win in my books.

I also liked that the drama didn't just make her growth about becoming independent from him. She started becoming more confident in herself and what she deserved, and I really enjoyed seeing that.

Was there unnecessary misunderstanding? YES.
Did the “Li” situation make everything ten times more complicated? ABSOLUTELY.
Did he deserve that divorce? 100%.
Did I enjoy watching him suffer a little after she finally stopped chasing him?
...maybe.

The female lead got her self-respect, the male lead got humbled, the second lead kept things fun, and I got my entertainment.

Honestly? I'll take it.
