Emotional depth between the leads is the highlight in this drama.

I watched this last year and decided to put in on shelf since there is no sub until i rewatch this with better subtitle.
Zhao Xi Xi and Su You Cai have sparks in their interaction and the chemistry was on in this drama. It was the highlight in this drama. Su You Cai perfectly captures the "deeply affectionate and forbearing" character, with expressive eyes while Zhao Xi Xi 's initial vulnerability and later explosive power are well-done and delicate.

The most immediate feeling while watching the series is: the emotional intensity is high, and FL's transformation from forbearance to awakening feels very realistic. Watching her pick up her paintbrush again with the male lead's encouragement and dare to fight against injustice evokes a sense of "healing" resonance. However, the plot framework is indeed clichéd. "Marriage to save one's mother," "ten years of waiting," and "oppression by a wealthy family" are common tropes in short dramas. Moreover, to extend the number of episodes, a lot of melodramatic plots involving supporting characters were added. and it becomes a bit aesthetically tiring, and some conflicts even feel unnecessary.

Worth to watch, if you want to see emotional depth in the drama with cliché plot.
