Zhang Chuxuan save this drama from disaster.

I watch this drama last year and rewatch this for few times and still like it even it was not the best drama.

The Plot is about FL want to make register in administration and found out she still married for 6 years while she actually wanted to divorce from her estranged husband 4 years ago. FL ty to meet FL to finalize their divorce while ML saying the divorce is not from her decision. She has been single mother for a son and ML brother to become her godfather. ML found out she has secret child and wants to confort her.

I like the banter between Fang Zheng Nan and Zhang Chuxuan even they didnt have romance vibe but the banter is quite fun especially with ML assistant. The son is acting natural and not being forced. ML brother is just relief beside FL mess life, i love their platonic vibe.

The flaws in this drama is about ML character growth and the green tea, he never feel he is responsible for his doing and just blame FL while he always green tea on priority. The green tea put act as psychopath and i feel annoyed by her presence.

The ending is not of my liking, i prefer FL to end by no one.

Not that memorable drama

I watched it when i am on Huang Yunyun binge drama. Not really know of Cheng Qiaosi work. This is my first review about him. They have the chemistry feeling. The plot is kind of stupid because FL was 'cheated' with ML who didn't know they actually have sex together (The term is i cheated with my own husband). The hidden identity plot is quite frustrating. ML didn't have brain to investigate what really happened so too much misunderstanding.

The MUA artist failed to hide ML real tattoo (please use the foundation more) which make me distracting.

Actually this work is not memorable even i watch few times there is no iconic scene.

Nice CP with crap plot

I was eager to watch Zhao Zhendong-Jinzi drama since i like their Fake Socialite drama. I have 50:50 opinion about this drama. The styling for republican drama is average for me. The Chemistry is good as their first drama. The ML character is pissing me of he didn't have any progress in this drama. All he do is just force kiss, without any communication. No wonder the FL is not happy when he near her. FL didn't show she was fall with ML (understand, because she still has a little brain). Too bad FL fiancee back story is not shown too much. I doubt they will have season 2 since there is so many unresolved plot. The Villain acting is too staged and felt forced especially FL and ML stepmothers.

Wont recommend this drama, even if you are Jinzi-Zhao Zhendong CP fans.

Quite promising but Chaotic Ending (in both way)

I never though this drama is slowly turn to be reverse harem. But i quite enjoy the chaotic of the relationship.

The Plot is about FL found her husband had affair with green tea and want to divorce him. She went to bar to met stranger with mask who happened to be ML and just hooked up and left. ML was devastated and want to search FL without know her real identity. But FL met ML by knowing he is her husband uncle. Because she is too scared of him She search younger man who pretends to be her personal secretary.

I like how despicable SML aka FL ex husband character progression even he didn't deserve to be with FL he is just want to redeem himself to become slave and make his mother furious. The bonds between the MLs are quite harmonious despite they dislike each other

The ending is quite chaotic, She just got her harem without any commitment.

The Refined version of Gu Xin Wan-Attorney Yan

There is many version of Gu Xin Wan-Attorney Yan plot and nothing could beat Yuyin Shen Haonan version until i saw this version.

The plot is meticulously well written without leaving abrupt and correct the flaws of previous version (the son involvement in this story, ML met his son, FL redemption from ML family, FL confront her father and her stepmother, FL tried to open her heart to ML). The cat mouse between the couple is not dragged like previous version and i like how ML are quick witted to realize FL is not guilty from her crime. Du Yafei and Ma Lejie chemistry unfortunately couldn't beat Yuyin and Shen Haonan version but plot wise they latter version got their benefit since they minimize the plot hole. The comedy in this version is barely exist and i still like how they fix the plot holes that previous version couldn't hide.

If you focused on plot, i suggest to watch this version instead.

Most reliable blockbuster short drama.

I am fans of both actor Liu Xiaoxu and Guo Yuxin. Guo Yuxin has chemistry with everyone. Its rare to have spin-off short drama since this is part of Wang Gege and He Jianqi story (they make cameo appearance) and both quality are great. The pace of the plot is quite slow but it is not boring due both actor great skill.

The plot is about ML who got marriage arrangement with FL who has free spirited mind. FL was afraid to fall in love and quite confident she wont fall for ML but yeah she falls in love with ML and run away from him. ML who cannot expressed his feeling to FL quite devastated when FL leave him and tried to win her back.

I like cinematography of cameramen, it was quite melodramatic and feel so subtle.

The Up and Downs feeling are there and its quite frustrating and i always surprised how they get better chemistry on screen. I doubt if there is another remake would beat this version.

Move On, we are not in 2023 anymore.

I was eager to watch Xie Yuwang and Lu Lulu second collaboration. I enjoyed their First collaboration and waiting for that long turns out it wasn't that much to wait.

The Plot is very 2023 coded. FL love ML twins. She make love with 'ML Twins' until get pregnant and they supposed to be married. ML Twins died in accident left FL being discarded by ML family since ML twins was being favored. ML turn to be Messiah by marrying FL which is make ML mother angrier. But when they get married ML left abroad alone leaving FL and she bore alone without anyone.

The Chemistry was left since Xie Yuwang knows how to kisses. FL characterization is inconsistent being doctor without logic and too dependent while ML mother and FL Family mistreating her. ML mother is pissed me of and she didn't get any character redemption. Couple lack of communication is sole problem since ML just left FL after they getting married so it's logic when he come back she want divorce, What do you expect, to wait like a nun?

The ending is trying to make open ending but somehow they force to Happy ending, duh.

Only to recommended for each artist fans.

Redemption for First Collab?

I was eager to watch second Collab from Chen Si and Han Yutong since they kind have a mysterious chemistry and their height is satisfying to watch (Both are tall). Glad, i was right to watch this even i prefer the first plot since i really like how the story progressed.

The Plot is like combination of Li Baiyan-Ma Lejie plot (enemy secretly in love with each other for 8 years) and Charon-Liu Lange plot (redemption for FL being neglected to ML and their child because FL supposed to be antagonist in novel. In the end she is fighting against writer's will). 26 years. FL wakes up in her 18 years old soul with her child claiming to be highschooler and she realize she woke in her future and getting married to her arch-enemy. Thinking her husband love her, she realized she is actually cheated on SML and neglecting her family and make ML is kind of nonchalant. FL wants to win back her husband favor with her 18-years soul.

Plot pace is quite fast. There is no angst feeling, FL way to redeem herself is quite funny. Love how their child acting is natural and not being forced to be mature.

The costume attire is ...Tinghuadao, you could do it better.

Recommend to watch for fun.

Nice Thriller for duanju class

Its first Bad Ending for Zhai Yiying drama since almost all of her drama are Happy Ending. Shen Haonan suits for this kind of character (schizophrenic person). Zhai Yiying tries to get dark character and her effort is paid well.

The Plot is about ML who wants to get revenge for his girlfriend (FL) murderers since he want to propose her but he saw her friends kill her until he hallucinated about his late girlfriend and admitted to psychiatric hospital. Few times later, He got test for being sane (He pretends to being normal to get out while he always hear FL whisper) and start his revenge against his girlfriend murderers.

For revenge arc is quite sad and satisfying ending for the enemies with ML struggles to being sane.

Recommended to watch.

Quite promising but there is many to improve

I Love Shi Xuejing and Wang Haozhen, but this is quite letdown for me since i like the plot very much (Office romance with slow pace). The chemistry is barely exist even both of them are gorgeous and the kiss is not helping that much.

Plot is about smarty plain looking FL aka Gu Yao with fool history of love since she getting cheated by her ex and going back to him twice (this part is make me pissed like how the writer make the hole on this story, they could make this part more better) while ML aka Zhou Zhengliang the divorcee man whose his past marriage only by paper to please his family and slowly attracted by FL as her new boss (the point which make me has expectation to this drama). ML tried to pursue FL while he misunderstand her thinking as FL replacement ex boyfriend while FL thinks too highly of ML since he got higher position and known as someone with charisma.

Still watchable but not the best drama for both actors.

Got Sour feeling but first version still win despite many version!

First, I don't like this troupe (wont call it One Night Stand but FL is giving her virginity to ML due her blackmail about her bully cousin and poof she is disappeared after that while she know she was pregnant) but i watched it and this is the first version. The first version is follow the original novel so its kinda have sour feeling and morally grey ML. Fu Yushu can portrayed introverted but strong sense of boundaries since she is married by paper only when met Male Lead (Dong Yi) who didn't realized she is the chubby girl he had secretly loved with denial. Dong Yi is success to make ML douchebag without restrained since he just knew she is married but he just want to chase Female Lead. The tug-of-war feeling is there with complex feeling without being dragged on the middle. The ending is not clear for me but i still recommended it if you want get sour feeling and watch morally grey character.
