i created an account to comment just bc i love the storyline so much TT__TT
initially i was so hesitant to take this drama up because it's ANOTHER contract marriage plot, with the unfortunate disappointment of Midsummer is full of love (my first watch of full house because i didn't watch the previous versions), i was afraid that the plot is going to be another cliche and predictable.
BUT! I love how they smashed all the predictabilities like having the contract exposed at the climax of the drama or having a dramatic love triangle or even an emotionally constipated ML/FL (we'll get more to that later).
1. The contract was exposed early on the in the drama and did not bring about much repercussions which brought huge relief to me because i've enough of waiting in agony for this to be the climax. The fact that it was exposed so early allows the viewers to see how genuine their feelings develop because they don't have to put on an act in front of other people and cheat themselves.
2. Yes there's another guy interested in the FL but she cleanly rejects him and he respects her decision, no obsessive second lead to hate!
3. ML is logical and has minimal emotions prior to having feelings for her but it's sooooo cute seeing how he talks to his friend and wants to understand what he feels to better get close with the FL.
Their relationship (after the confessions) is so diabetic i have to take breaks every few minutes to squeal. This is the first drama of Miles where I'm consciously aware of his presence because he's always playing support and he's so damn charismatic. Ruo han embodies yun shu so perfectly, her voice, expressions and mannerisms make me want to keep her in my pocket TT______TT.
ALSO PLEASE WATCH THEIR BTS SCENES ON YOUTUBE, THEY'RE NATURALLY SO SWEET AND TOUCHY WITH EACH OTHER OFF CAMERA, I'M SUS YOUR HONOR!
TL:DR - So far (ep 18), so good. Quite high up in my list of favourite dramas in 2020!
