CUTE BUT NOT THAT WORTH IT
I fear I owe myself an apology because I was GASLIGHTING MYSELF into enjoying this drama. 😭
After reading everyone else’s reviews, I sat there like… wait a damn minute… THEY’RE RIGHT. 💀
Because let’s be serious:
THE ML WAS HORNY AF.
Not even subtly. At some point, I started wondering if the writers had forgotten they were supposed to give this man a personality outside of kissing the FL. 😭 Sir, you are supposedly BROKE. WHY ARE YOU SPENDING ALL THIS MONEY ON THIS WOMAN???
And what exactly was the FL contributing to this household?
Kiss. Sleep with him. Sleep. Repeat. 😭
The chemistry was undeniably there, though. I’ll give them that. They were cute together, and their relationship had this soft, sweet, fluffy quality that genuinely made me smile.
BUT THE PLOT??? HELLO??? WHERE DID SHE GO???
There was practically NOTHING happening.
Episodes 1–8 could have been condensed into THREE EPISODES, and I refuse to believe otherwise. The amount of repetitive dialogue, unnecessary scenes, and painfully slow progression was actually criminal. 😭
And don’t even get me started on Xiaodong and Linlin.
WHAT A WASTE OF POTENTIAL.
Their storyline could have added actual depth and substance to the drama, but instead they were given crumbs and left in the corner like forgotten side dishes.
Most of the other characters were basically human wallpaper. They appeared, said a few lines, and disappeared. No meaningful development. No real contribution. Just… vibes. 💀
The acting was also a little stiff. Not unbearable, but there were definitely moments where I could FEEL the actors waiting for their next line.
And the FL's character development?
NON-EXISTENT.
She started the drama one way and somehow finished it almost exactly the same. I kept waiting for that big transformation, that moment where she finally grows as a character…
Girl, we are on episode WHAT and you’re still doing the same thing??? 😭
Then there’s our beloved ML, who was simultaneously cute, sweet, romantic, and mildly concerning.
Because some of his behavior was giving devoted boyfriend…
…and some of it was giving “Ma’am, perhaps we should contact the authorities.” 💀
The kissing scenes also didn’t always feel natural to me. The chemistry was there, but some of the actual kisses felt choreographed rather than spontaneous, which took me out of the moment.
Still, despite ALL my complaints…
I LIKED THE ROMANCE. 😭
It was wholesome, affectionate, and genuinely cute when it wasn’t being dragged into oblivion.
This drama could have been SO much better if it had:
A REAL PLOT
Better pacing
Actual FL development
More meaningful supporting characters
Less repetitive dialogue
Fewer filler scenes
And approximately 70% less horny ML behaviour 💀
Instead, we got a cute romance stretched across an unnecessarily long runtime with enough filler to feed an entire TV station.
Would I recommend it?
Maybe… if you’re here for the chemistry and pretty men.
Because let’s be honest…
I DID NOT STAY FOR THE PLOT.
I stayed for Chen Jingke. Wu Lei. Wang Xingyue.
THOSE MEN WERE THE PLOT. 😭🤌🏽
