Liked It For Vibes, Chemistry, And Chaos
Let’s just start with this: what a wild ride from start to finish. The drama kicks off with FL attending her fiancé’s funeral, it’s raining, she's in black, holding a red umbrella, and then—boom! She kisses a man who looks just like her dead fiancé… on the coffin. I was instantly hooked. That opening? Insane and I loved every second of it.
So the man? Not her fiancé but her uncle. (Technically. Because which Chinese drama doesn’t have the ML be a long-distance uncle somehow?) Their chemistry from the jump was fire—the tension, the kisses, the banter, the hugs, the looks… they were so in love even when they weren’t supposed to be in love. I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing this pairing again—they were that good. And the fact that this is a mini drama with a kiss quota? No complaints here!
FL (Mi Chuxia / Huo Ruoyi) was adorable, quirky in the best way, and so full of life—even in her grief. Her moments of talking to herself? Iconic. And I loved her pouty face.
ML (Lu Nian Bai / Tang Jing Xing) was the perfect combo of playful and broody. The teasing? The “uncle” card? Sir. Please.
Let’s talk cinematography—this mini drama did not slack. The colors, the funeral scene, the dance, the proposal, the flashbacks—everything had that dramatic mini-series gloss, but they used it well.
SFL (Lu Nian Qi) was stunning. You knew from the start she’d be the villain but she was so elegant and compelling, I couldn’t even bring myself to hate her. And when she finally admitted the truth and backed down? Growth. Pretty lady + character development = win.
SML? NO. Certified creep. Obsessive, manipulative, wiretap-the-room-level unhinged. The kind of character that makes you side-eye the actor just a little (no hate though, He did a great job). And the attempted assault? Absolutely not. Not romantic. Not okay. I’m so over dramas pretending non-consensual stuff is passion. Hard pass.
Still, despite that moment (and a few too many “are we really doing this?” kisses), the show delivered on romance. Especially once the twist was confirmed:
ML is actually the fiancé. No amnesia. Just hiding his identity for "revenge" . He wakes up from a coma, learns FL has found her real family, and instead of going back to her right away, he becomes “someone else” and falls for her again. It's giving soap opera, but I ate it up.
The back hug goodbye, the earphone scene, the jealousy lemonade, and the dance at the masked party were highlights.
And the proposal at the end? Good cheese. The kind that melts your heart. (Bonus points for the ring design.)
OST? Hits. Fits every emotional beat.
There were plot holes, yes. But you know what? I was too entertained to care.
Also—plot twist—I’d seen Season 1 before and didn’t even realize it until halfway through! Different actors, same characters. And honestly? This version just hit more for me. The glow-up is real.
Final thoughts:
Entertaining, emotional, and sometimes unhinged. It had everything a good mini drama needs—strong chemistry, drama, a wild plot, and some swoon-worthy moments.
Would recommend. Just… be ready for chaos.
