So, we're going to talk about the drama Legally Romance. Honestly, it was amazing! I didn’t expect them to create a drama like this. In the first episode, Lu Xun (played by Z-Tao) and Qian Wei (played by Song Zuer) are shown as having a boss-employee relationship, where he appears to really hate her. But the story takes a twist when they introduce the time-travel trope. I believed that she might time travel back to her college days, where she is now in 2013 and already knows her future. So, she starts to fight back and seek revenge on Lu Xun. She mistakenly believes that he is in love with the second lead actress (I don't remember her name), so she tries to help him win her over.

However, what she doesn’t realize is that Lu Xun actually loves her, not the second lead. Eventually, around episode 16, they begin to get closer, and by episode 26, Qian Wei wakes up in a hospital and realizes that everything she experienced was not time traveling—it was all just a coma dream. The time travel was just a part of her dream while she was in a coma. Lu Xun visits her, but she is talking to her ex about breaking up with him. Lu Xun misunderstands and leaves before speaking to her, thinking that she still loves her ex and will patch things up with him.

What Qian Wei experienced in her coma dream made her realize that, even though it was just a dream, she had fallen for Lu Xun. She starts to piece together the truth when a doctor tells her that it's common for patients to recover better if their friends and family share their past with them. The doctor hints that some parts of her dream might have been real. She then sees an entry book from her coma period and notices that Lu Xun's name is on the list. This confirms to her that her feelings and experiences were not just a dream—Lu Xun truly loves her.

After waking up, Lu Xun still acts like a tough boss because he believes that Qian Wei still loves her ex. He thinks he has no chance with her, even though he has loved her for years. The episodes from when she wakes up to episode 30 were a bit boring to watch. However, things improve later on, and they eventually end up together.

In the final episodes, Qian Wei begins seeing glimpses of the future during her check-ups. She sees that Lu Xun is on a date with the second lead actress, but it turns out that she wasn’t romantically interested in him. Instead, she was hiring him for a business-related case, as Lu Xun is a lawyer. Qian Wei decides to confess her love to him and tells him, “I love you.” Lu Xun then reveals that he wanted to hear her confession and that he’s been in love with her since he was 18—he has loved her for 10 years and still does. Everything goes well after that.

In the last episode, just before their wedding, Qian Wei runs away because she wants to see her future with him. Everyone thinks the bride has run away, and Lu Xun also runs after her. In the end, they both end up in the same car, and the drama concludes like that.
