The drama is about ML journey to get FL
I watched this version on January 2026 and it was far better than Ma Xin Yu version. The revenge plot is toned down and resolved quickly, which is a matter of personal preference. I quite had scrutiny against Shao Wei acting since he was quite too stiff and lack of emotions but he slowly learns. For Sun Lu Lu, her script was quite interesting but her drama can be hit and miss for me since she tends to show one persona in different characters but her strength is she could build up the chemistry.
The plot is a very conventional canary taking revenge + his love for her. What's good is ML saw early on FL was extremely proud and had high self-esteem, and couldn't possibly be a canary; he was thoughtful and intelligent. FL consistently focused on her career, and taking revenge as a canary was just a side job after work
This version resolves the revenge quickly, focusing on the ML's self-persuasion and his attempts in the later episodes to support the FL in combating her long-term repression and psychological issues, which are actually difficult to resolve immediately. Compare to other version, ML's parents were just ordinary parents with normal concerns and interventions, not excessive, and their values and emotions were normal. For the villains, yeah they deserved the ending. No overmelodramatic supporting characters.
I prefer the honesty from the actor while showing their abs even it was not excessive good like Shao Wei previous drama. The chemistry between Sun Lu Lu and Shao Wei were so natural, it was very comfortable when i saw them kissing each other. The two characters in the drama each have their own thoughts or feelings, but they can't help but feel physically attracted to each other. The two actors' images and performances are already convincing, and coupled with a reasonable and necessary plot, it is indeed a conventional yet noteworthy short drama that serves as a satisfactory product for satisfying emotional needs and desires.
Recommended to watch.
