Hidden idenity & secret child drama with formidable antagonist

I saw this drama on iQiyi and thought "Why not watch it on the app?" since I am a fan of Han Yu Tong & Zhao Guan Yu.

What I liked:
1. Dynamics - I enjoyed watching interactions between ML and FL's daughter. Even though he was her stepfather, there was emotional connection betweem them.
2. Antagonist - This is one of the handful times in which I liked antagonist's arc. It's great to see how a friendship is tested.
3. Supporting characters - FL's daughter has a good arc - substantial impact to ML's life. I also liked ML's grandma as she wasn't pushy with FL.
4. Styling - At first I didn't understand FL's choice of clothes but later I figured out why. I liked the outfits chosen to cover a scar that might be recognisable by ML. I also felt bit weird seeing Zhao Guan Yu without spectacles.

What I disliked:
1. Romance - Slow burn romance with little communication about their romantic feelings. It was also frustrating that Zhao Guan Yu & Han Yu Tong never had proper kissing scenes when both of them are capable of real onscreen kisses. I also didn't sense any chemistry between them two.

Favourite scene
When FL's daughter missed ML but realised that there was something off between FL and ML's relationship
