Hidden identity flash marriage made livelier by ML's larger-than-life mother

I watched this drama early this year when I was still new to vertical dramas. I think I chose this drama because I had watched Zhang Yun Tao's drama with Bai Yan. I was pleasantly surprised by this drama.

What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - FL was a hardworking, honest employee at ML's company.
2. Romance - FL & ML got into a flash marriage and coincidentally have employee-employer connection but without realising it. Their romantic journey was sweet.
3. Supporting characters - ML's mother was an entertaining character. Loud, rich lady but respectful and non-judgemental. FL's mother & brother were good characters too.
4. Styling - I loved the biker chick outfit donned by FL. She was chic & cool. I also liked FL's manager uniform. ML wore colourful suits so that's interesting choice by stylist.

What I disliked:
1. Intimacy - In their first intimate scene, FL was drugged and framed by jealous antagonist. I wish it hadn't been that way.
2. Antagonist - Invaded privacy of FL. She was mean towards hotel staff.
3. Flash marriage - I liked this trope but gosh this wasn't done well. They went separate ways after getting license then developed feelings for their colleague. I still consider it cheating even though the other people are their flash marriage partner.

Favourite scene
When FL had a heart-to-heart conversation with her brother
