A hot mess, but still entertaining
I don't understand why everyone keep complaining about one specific thing happening by ep 10-11 while the whole drama is full of things to complain about, that's really unfair because if you are ok with everything happening why are you so opposed to this minor detail.
It's not even a big deal, what, lying??? Seriously?? That's what put ya off??
Look how many cliché moments we had in 40mins/20ep ... Buckle up!!
We have -in no correct order- :
kidnapping, faking death, amnesia, kidnapping again, lying about sickness, coma, break up then getting back again, arranged marriage, marriage of convenience/marriage contract, psychopath, childhood trauma, evil parent, betrayal, arson, love triangle, oh! Kidnapping for the third time, betrayal again, and I didn't count how many times someone tried to kill someone from the main cast...
And you complain about a ML tricking the FL into marriage?? Tbh I wasn't really convinced about the love he had for the FL, i mean their old interactions doesn't deserve all that interest and obsession, and his way of acting upon it is even weirder.
My dear if you like someone, just confess for heaven sake!! BUT, be that as it may .... Once we know about the ML father and his past I believe that is a very convincing way to show that his mind isn't like other people and yeah, somehow this whole stupid plot makes good sense for the ML to secure the FL, so yes, it makes sense if you spend the time looking for a reason to understand his actions instead of just arguing about how unethical his actions were.
NOT saying he was right, nor that his actions are justified, all I'm saying is considering his past, his upbringing and his character, thinking in this wicked and weird way does actually make sense.
Maybe we should add some psychological trauma to the mix.
So all in all, this drama was a hot mess right from the beginning... Is it entertaining tho?? Yeah, to some extent... The flaws in acting are very noticeable, I only liked some of the Male cast, the female cast lacks a big deal, and the FL and her dead fish kisses don't help at all, her face contracts as if in disgust or pain in some closer/intimate scenes which made the whole moment terrible to watch, I didn't like the romance here tbh, but the ML was handsome so, I just stared at his face during the close shots lol.
Aside from that, the drama is a simple 2019 style drama, just too packed with too many genre and many things happening, but deep down the 3 main relationships here are nice and enjoyable, I didn't skip anyone's relationship at all, my favourite is the secretary's, actually he is my fav character, also I believe Jia Fei is a BL writer??? Is she??? I hate how with everything happening, some details are very vague but anyway it's over now ~~
I would not recommend it tbh, or maybe watch it once if you are into messy stories...
I have to say something slightly unrelated but it's my review so I shall do so, you can totally ignore this part, my review of the drama has ended anyway....
I finished a drama called "Desire" a while ago, from which's comments I re-found this drama, that I stacked a long time ago and totally forgot about, anyway back to my point, the type of obsession and aggression in Desire can't even be compared here, I saw no one complaining, no one judging, I was probably the only one who hated Hua Yong lol
I understand that not necessarily everyone who likes desire hated this but all I'm saying is, it's generally a not very big fault the trick the ML played on the FL, besides she isn't the nicest person I mean she is kind but she also lies and do things behind the MLs back so let's not put everything on the ML ok? They deserve each other.
