Misled by the trailer - ts a fluffy romance

I thought this would be some kind of thriller, but its just pure romantic comedy.
When the story settles down its just trivial household dramatic incidents.

watch it if:
- Love after marriage, enemies to lovers, reluctant falling in love.
- Very funny side characters, laughter guaranteed
- Lot of bromance in Wei family
- Traditional couple dynamics. If you like to see *feminine* strong FL, this is it. FL and ML are written to embody only light aspects of a traditional marriage. (if your into it).
- No FL marching into battle or landing punches (or even punchlines) here. FL is *soft*. yet shes strong-ish. (Thats the whole point, they make sure to tell u that)
- BTW in my opinion it was FL who got seduced. She was "prisoner of beauty". 😂😂 ML was more like "prisoner of care and handwarmer". 🤣

Dont watch:
-Cdrama canon fodder alert😭
- only ML and FL love story has good ending.🫡
- ML manhandles FL a few times
- LYN's eyebrows are comically angular
- SZE's lipstick was really dry
- i didnt like how they handled the whole ML's bro story line. (i didnt like the story line). I felt that it had no use. The makers wanted to make it creepy, then decided against it in the middle. It had no value acc to me.
- issues such as ML's issues with FL's family, ML's mom's issues, or ML's bro's issues, FL's uncle issues, FL's advisor's issues arent addressed or wrapped up properly. They just occasionally toss them in the background. Like if you didnt want to address them why are u bring them out??
- they wanted to make a thriller serious viby enemies to lovers, but the makers are better at making cosy cheesy (idk proper adjectives) pure romance. So they sprinkle it for garnish randomly. People who came here for that (like me) completely thrown off. Like this is some "new life begins" vibes romance guys. (ig im having xinxia hangover). THis isnt MJTY vibes. I came here expecting at least AYTO level tension. i found floof and canon fodder instead.
- Too much screentime to ML's bros ex , and FL's ex. frustrating.
