Pretty awful drama
this drama is such a disappointment and badly written. I am so disappointed, I was waiting for this drama, expected an adult second chance romance, 2 families coming together and a pretty light funny watch. But…. it got so wrong.
- I think the leads had chemistry and I liked the little moments. It had potential, it was funny how it started and the fake relationship. But their screentime was so little in their own drama. it’s not enough scenes to develop this well and we didn’t get the families hanging out together until the last 2 min of the drama. Also just to say for the interested, this drama has no kissing scenes. Like 2 fake kisses and implied intimacy only. Not much skinship or anything
This drama should have been way more focus on the leads, seeing them become one family and giving us more time of the 6 of them bonding, spending time together and giving us a wedding at the end. Until the end, they are living as neighbors and at the very end it says that they finally got married at some point and became a family. This should have been in the plot to begin with, not a mention at the end. The drama was mostly going nowhere for many eps and it was wrapped up very fast like the plot was missing eps. Well at least happy ending….. and they was no breakup
Lily, she was okay, but I was just annoyed when she got made at her and was like « you can’t be with him or whatever », I don’t remember. When she knew she was seeing ML. She even hit her like you scolded a child. That’s weird, she a grown ass women.
- the support cast had more screentime then the leads and most of them were horrible characters and not interesting. The story was most focus on the second lead
1) Qiao Hao & Hu Xiao Jiao and others related to them :
These 2 had so much screentime….
this was the worst part of this drama.
I started skipping them at some point. So damn annoying and what an horrible man.
He was trash, a cheater, an abuser and a ra*pist! That SA plot was so unnecessary, what were they thinking by adding this. I was so confused, no one was doing anything, no police. Like it was normal and life just continued. That was unbelievable. But after reading some comments, I realized that over there, this is not seen like SA between spouse, hence nothing happened. That’s is just a shock for us international viewers it seems. It was back and forth…. At last she finally divorced him. How they romanticized their divorce, the like scene in the park, her dancing…. Who gives a damn, we don’t wanna see that!
The plot of him spending time with his daughter only because he wanted the son…
How the hell did FL continued to give the kids to him to spend time.
His mom…. Unbearable. Still not sure to understand why she was so obsessed with the grandson and literally ignoring the granddaughter. Poor girl. Watching this other trash character was hard. They kept saying she hadn’t long to live, at some point I was like, when is she finally gonna die. No satisfaction there either, just a little mention in the epilogue that she died.
His dad, he seemed like it had a little decency, but no. He knew they were wrong (regarding the son) but did nothing and helped them
Her aunt and uncle, they seemed pretty normal…. Got her back and were there for her, seems like they had a pretty good relationship/marriage, so I can see some positive point in their characters I guess. Even if I was disappointed in their reaction to the SA, but like I mentioned earlier, seems like a normal reaction from people over there.
Her mom, didn’t add anything expect taking screentime.
The kidnapping in the last ep was nonsense. Rolled my eyes I wanted to fast forward.
They went for a little redemption arc for her, apologizing to FL, she didn’t accept the apology which is good. Now she’s leaving the country, okay who cares goodbye.
Anyway to summarize, all of these characters stole way too much screentime from the leads story and were absolutely not enjoyable or interesting. The drama could have been cut in half (the run time and eps) and the story between the leads would have been the same
2) FL’s friend : Not much anything to say. her story with her ex wasn’t anything exciting and it wasn’t developed much, just got back together. but we could say her friendship with FL was good.
3) Yo Yo : I did not dislike her character. I actually appreciate the journey from her being lost, sad and all at home ? her parents way too much controlling. I think it was nice seeing her going to work at the cemetery, meeting her master, getting some closure with her sister. Her smiling and being happy. The letter from her master after his death was very sad to me. How we got to understand him more, he was there because he knew he was gonna die young, he was hanging out at his future grave and with future « companions » (the death people). I thought that was a good scene. We didn’t really get closure for her. this was the last we saw of her, so now she’s still gonna work there? she was not seen again in the last ep.
And OMG, that was so damn weird…. her master died (and he was her boss, coworker) and no one told her ?????? made no sense.
4) in laws/grand parents : I thought for a while she wasn’t so bad, but she annoyed me with her reaction to Yo Yo’s job. I was rolling my eyes, let her live her life damnit. both were so focus on appearance and not understanding her. « what will we say to others (about what she does for work) ». He was childish for most of the drama and annoying. how he was acting with the granddaughters to make them act and dislike future step mom. How he was comparing with the dead sister and acting with Yo Yo. But, we can appreciate how they still got a good relationship with their son in law after their daughter’s passing, them still being a family. We got no closure, they were never seen again at the end
I absolutely do not recommend this drama, a waste of time
