Congratulations on marriage to actress Bai Xin Yi! Her profile: https://kisskh.at/people/41739-bai-xin-yi In the live stream of their engagement party on Oct 7th 2024, they said they would be husband and wife on the 9th and go right back to work shooting for a show. In another live stream on Oct 10th, they confirmed that they got their legal marriage certificates. Also mentioned they were thinking of holding their wedding ceremony in about a year. :)
Possibly enjoyable for fans of the lead actors with the use of fast-forwarding. A vertically filmed micro drama (I rate these on their own sliding scale). General spoilers. Mediocre melodrama that got more and more ridiculous. The two leads were great and had good chemistry; they kept me watching but couldn't save the show. I did like that the FL was pretending to be of low IQ ("simple" after some trauma) but NOT that her mind had reverted to that of a 3-6 year old child (like the version with Yang Mie Mie and Yu Long). She was aware of adult topics (like what a husband and wife would do together) so the ML starting to show affection towards her wasn't as weird as it was in the other version. I also liked how adamantly the ML stood up for the FL even though they had just met because she was his legal wife and he took protecting her seriously. He became even more passionate about protecting her the more he got to know her. There are a couple heart-fluttering lip presses and face caresses (but not a lot of sweetness, romance, or moments of sexual tension).
Unfortunately, not a lot of time is spent on the romance as crazy plot shenanigans are the focus. As such, it felt like the screenplay skipped over a couple important steps in the progression of their feelings.
The SML was horribly overacted- tried way too hard to be mentally unhinged and became completely laughable. The FL's second hand man had the most ridiculous and cringe worthy costume (think BDSM meets Phantom of the Opera!), and was also poorly overacted in his last scene. The grandma couldn't really act. The green tea character was ridiculous, as was the SFL character (FL's step sister) though at least their acting was fine if unnuanced.

I'm glad your question prompted me to look because I like this pairing too, and it seems they have at least one more drama together. Chinesemov.com tends to have more vertical dramas listed for actors (than MDL), though there is a lag with newer releases and there's less info (like they don't give synopsis). Still, they list native names as well as English, which you can copy and paste into YouTube to search. Currently (as of 10/12/24), the only other drama on Chen Si's page that's with Yu Yin is: https://tv-1.chinesemov.com/tv/2024/Cleaning-for-a-Company I don't currently see it on YouTube, but it may be shared in the future.
I believe the actor is Zhang PeiBao (he's not on MDL yet).A YouTube playlist of some of his dramas:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR_kD1OvdvkKFGmzLxTJpIpLifSA7_Plx&si=YNkggivVBHfLZCK6
Thank you for the correction, I've updated my notes! :) I can't find the actual name of this actor when searching this title on YouTube or on Weibo, and I just scoured through all the comments too, bummer :(
Finally , one non toxic mini drama. I really like this one. 😍🥰
If you like non-toxic I highly recommend Heartbeat Deviation (also a vertically filmed drama). It's a heartwarming and realistically grown romance with a fantastic lead couple. It has a slow burn feel but with many butterfly-inducing moments, and was very satisfying. Here's the MDL page: https://kisskh.at/775573-heartbeat-deviation In a spoiler-hidden comment, Jwells shared multiple youtube links for it.
7.5/10 A vertically filmed micro drama (I rate these on their own sliding scale).
Good for one watch. The lead actors are fantastic with good chemistry, and the gently blooming romance is very sweet. Both lead characters are smart, moral, competent, strong, and likeable. The ML also gives the FL the benefit of the doubt from the beginning, yay! The kids aren't written like real children of any age, let alone 5 years old, but overall the family dynamic is adorable. The basic plot is a frequently used one, but the production does adjust some things so it's mostly enjoyable (there is a typical deranged SFL and I'm just getting so tired of those, lol). I did fast-forward through some of the scheming side characters. The ending feels a bit rushed but is cute.
I'm not great at synopsis summaries, but I'll give it a go: ML is drugged at a hotel, FL goes to sleep with someone to save her mother but enters the wrong dark room, after she leaves the SFL slips into place and pretends to be the one the ML took advantage of to make him be "responsible" for her. 5 years later, the FL comes back to China with twins. She and the ML start running into each other, then working together, and grow feelings for each other. Neither of them recognize the other from before, but everyone notices there's this kid that looks an aweful lot like the CEO...
See the comment by Jwells below. They listed a couple youtube links in their "spoiler" comment. The English translation is mediocre, but better than some. Enjoy!
I was thinking the same thing, somewhere on the autism or Asperger’s spectrum. I read some other comments on…
Definitely. Taishin's worries about others finding him annoying was really realistic for a neurodivergent who has difficulty reading other people, and it's sadly warrented given how many viewers had little patience for trying to understand him.
I'm going to have to reduce reading up on all the comments because there's so much vitriol aimed at Taishin; it's rather depressing to see such strong intolerance for a character that's different than many are familiar with.
