Jiejie romance that brought out the conflict
I was drawn to this drama because of the familiar names Wang Nan & Sheng Yijie & because of the older woman - younger man trope, which is one of my favourites. I watched this drama on 2 March 2025 and it was enjoyable.
What I liked:
1. Acting - I have watched Sheng Yijie act in another jiejie romance so I knew she could nail her role. She had great chemistry with Wang Nan. Now Wang Nan was believable as younger love interest. He was great at expressing his character's vulnerabilities.
2. Romance - There were steamy scenes. ML being submissive in bed surprised me. I also liked when they talked about FL being domineering - that was a sweet scene.
3. ML characterisation - It's good that we saw ML's serious side when he was at work. I could feel the love conflict faced by him.
What I disliked:
1. Fake results - I hated that FL faked DNA test result to get support from board members. In real world, that move would jeopardise your credibility in the company / industry.
2. ML parents - Their arc is underdeveloped.
Favourite scene
ML being submissive in bed
