This was rough to watch in parts, but Ma Hao Dong was really good in it. And it was great seeing him in short (and even shorter!) hair. He looks good that way.

I got about 6 episodes in and it was so rough watching that I had to check out the last episode. Once I saw that ML wasn't the bad guy I went back and watched the rest. I'm not that good of a guesser so probably would have been clueless until very late in the show. Good for you for being so perceptive!

I found it on Kisskh under the name "Counterattack - Falling in Love with a Rival"

I use Brave browser and there are no commercials.

This was just adorable! Very short, but very well done. It didn't look cheap. The action was quick and some surprises along the way. The ML/FL were so cute together and I loved the way the ML always protected his wife. So many full-length dramas aren't half as good.

Hahaha! Thanks for pointing that out. I totally missed one of the best scenes!

Ended up liking this low-rated drama a lot. Subs were confusing a lot of the time so be prepared if you decide to check it out.

I think this is what you're looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U8LExfu_Is

This was really cute and fun. I'm amazed that the ML is only 22 and the FL is only 19. They certainly acted like they have a lot more experience.

Thanks for letting me know. Too bad it was never finished.

Have you read the manhua? I haven't so only going by the comments. I also saw that it suddenly stopped and hasn't been updated so did it have no real ending?

Here it's updated to 163 chapters which is as far as I've found it.

I was just reading comments under the manhua this was adapted from and they said that it isn't a BL, but a bromance and not even that heavily. I've only read the first chapter so I have only those comments to go by.

Haha! Yes, she was a bit much, wasn't she?

Thanks so much for your reply.

Are they using a different name on Iqiyi or is it not available internationally?

Believes some ridiculous rumor that lunatic Lai Luo Zhi tells her even over her own son? Someone tell me why she is so ready to believe him? Clasping the viper to her bosom and thinks she's wise. I hope she lives long enough to see what evil she has wrought.

Ep 34. This Empress Dowager. Seriously?

On ep 21. Really enjoying this. I've read a lot of comments about people not liking the FL, but I think she's quite good in portraying a young, naive girl focused on her career. It's taking her time to understand her husband, especially since she was pretty much forced into the marriage.

I'm also loving the background music. It always seems especially fitting to what's happening. I don't normally find a lot of background music noteworthy so this is a plus for me.

And what can I say about Ding Yuxi that hasn't already been said by everyone else? I did start watching because of him, but I'm liking this unknown-to-me FL Ancy Deng and I like a lot of the supporting characters, especially Jing Lin. I have a fondness for ML's right-hand men and he's adorable.

The wings! Loved this ad. Shen Hao Nan is a great angel, but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to calm any woman down.
