The elevated version of Bai Yan-He Cong Rui drama

When I watched this drama, the only thing i remember is unpleasant feeling after watch Bai Yan-He Cong Rui version (that version is from around 2023-2024) so i decided to watch hoping for better version.

The Plot is same ML and FL actually had feelings for each other during their school days, but a misunderstanding prevented them from being together. FL enters into a contract marriage with the male lead to repay a debt of gratitude. Both believe the other is a Cassanova, and after the marriage, they challange each other for "cheat you spouse whoever jealous first you lose".

The plot is cliché, but the lighthearted comedy style at least still better than Bai Yan- He Congrui version at every aspect. The chemistry between the Ma Xiao Yu and Zhang Jinyi are surprisingly good. Their attractive appearances and restrained acting, combined with this understated story, make for a really enjoyable watch. Ma Xiao Yu is very likable once he abandons his overly forceful, boss-like acting style. Although he doesn't quite capture the essence of a doctor, he's still a gentle, honest, and morally upright husband.

Zhang Jin Yi has a very distinctive beauty, gentle approach, and her acting feels alive and natural, not formulaic or stiff. She portrays a seemingly innocent yet powerful female CEO with a striking contrast. Ma Xiao Yu's portrayal of his gentle care for his mother-in-law and his resilience in performing surgery on her is very nuanced . He immediately comes across as a sensible, reliable, and filial son, capable of taking responsibility and showing empathy—it's hard for the FL not to fall for him instantly.

Recommended to watch if you want some light romance.
