This drama like unflavored Mung Bean Soup
I watched this since i liked Shu Tong acting. Plot is about FL's parents die in a car accident. To investigate the cause of death, she deliberately gets close to the ML, hoping to use him to uncover the truth. During their time together, the ML unconditionally supports her, doting on her like a father, and the two are mutually devoted.
The plot avoids exaggerated or melodramatic elements, and the romance develops naturally without dragging. Shu Tong and Zhai Yiying deliver solid performances and are quite compatible; their crying scenes and eye acting are particularly moving. The characters are likable: FL is intelligent, resourceful, and alert, while ML is powerful, capable, and meticulous. Their relationship has a push-and-pull dynamic, like an innocent rabbit and a cunning old fox, but they communicate effectively, trust each other, act side-by-side, and their feelings are mutual. It's a pity about ML's older brother; I initially thought he was a bad guy, but he turns out to be quite nice.
The downside is weak script. The revenge story with a gangster background only has a framework; the case is just a verbal investigation, and the tragic backstory is just a verbal recounting. There's not much plot to drive the emotional development; it's just a simple piling up of romance. Overall, this drama feels like mung bean soup without flavor. My expectations were too high, and I was a slightly disappointed.
Still recommend to watch though.
