Sometimes I think the writers do it on purpose lol
I didn't have high expectations, I just excited about the farm romance theme.However, I didn't expect it to actually go downhill.
The drama starts out very interesting, it has the vibe of a funny romantic comedy, and in fact, it is. However, it seems to me that the screenwriters purposely made the worst choices! It is not possible that anyone thought the narrative choices were made in this story were good.
What was supposed to be interesting, especially seeing the male protagonist struggling to adapt to life on the farm and even further exploring the female protagonist's choices in leaving the big city, became a big mess. In fact, it became a love competition.
Obviously, the scriptwriters brought in the old tactic of the second lead and the second female, but with an awful detail: the second female is the FL's BEST FRIEND, and the second lead thinks it's a god idea to live in the FL's house because, of course, he has been in love since college, so she "needs" to accept him.
I don't blame ML for being bothered by the situation, after all, FL playing dumb with the closeness that her friend has with her is eye-rolling. But.. ok. Nevermind, she didn't know *yeah, right*
For me, if the story were *just* the two of them adapting to farm life and ML's complications in having to choose the big city and be with the woman he loves, it would be much better, but it seems to me that, honestly, the writers cannot make reasonable choices.
Furthermore, I thought it was a wasted chemistry between the actors, and I would really like them to explore FL life more; I missed knowing more about her.

Nice, light, but too many clichés
Mini series (24 x15 minutes) on the plot Rich & arrogant ML VS down-to-earth poor FL.Nice start, but with a lot of clichés (financial crisis of the Company, villain love rival, fake engagement, etc.).
The pace is fast (it's a mini) but nothing is developed and seems a little superficial.
This series onlly allows young actors to show their talent.

Débuts sympa, mais avec beaucoup de clichés (crise financière de la Cie, villain love rival, fake engagement, etc.).
Le rythme est rapide (c'est un mini) mais rien n'est développé et parait un peu superficiel.
Cela permet surtout à de jeunes acteurs de montrer leur talent.

Fill with spoiler. Watch with ur own risk
Quite intrigue watch this short drama... But as usual with short drama, this also quite fast pace & a little week at the end.Tell story about Lin Xian (LX) & Zhuang Xiao Man (XM). They arranged to be engaged by their grandpa. But after a little threatened by LX's grandpa, LX finally settled in XM house. XM that's being sick by all the blind date the villager arranged for her & LX that's need to be agreed to his grandpa make a little secret deal, to be agreed in their engagement for about 1.5 month and after that they agreed to break the relationship.
But.... Because LX & XM is the main couple here, of course they finally fall in love with each other. LX that gets used to with farming life also falling in love with the lifestyle in the village. The end...? Haha.... This is drama, of course not....
LX's company turn out hanging on the cliff, and before coming to the village, he made a deal with Lu Yao (LY) to be her fiance. LY try to break LX & XM relationship through Chen Jingwen & successful. They break up. But later on XM find out the truth & decided to chase LX to the city. Will it successful? Well... I think I spoiled enough. You need to continue watch urself.
What rush?
- The way XM & LX fall in love feel a little bit rush. Suddenly they just already fall in love with each other.
- The ending. Ugh... I really wish for better ending...
Overall do I feel this worth watching? For short drama YES! This has beginning, middle and end. The story quite clear & good. The acting also quite good, not feel the actor/ess like just graduates from acting students drama.

Started at good, hit a speed bump but ended well
It started out well. I loved a country setting because nearly all C-dramas are set in the city. I liked ML finally joining in and helping out on the farm instead of sitting around like a snooty prick. But like most C-dramas, the scriptwriter managed to kill the good feelings in the middle thanks to - you guessed it - a mean chick who was supposedly FL's 'friend'. Then ML gets on his high horse. I recommend skipping 20-23 to the ending, which is happy. Thankfully, these episodes are brief so the angst ought to go quickly if you chose to watch it. I don't recommend it because I can't stand petty men (or women); it particularly looks bad on a man, but ML has that type of personality.Was this review helpful to you?
Good Filler
This drama was cute, it's a good filler drama while you are waiting for current series to air. Didn't take me long to finish, I watched it in one night. Wished they talked about the grandpas a little more. I wanted to know how their grandpas were friends and their story. It has a typical plot, ML and FL have a misunderstanding ML goes away and ignores her then FL feels sad and so on.Was this review helpful to you?
