For those who have doubts!

I had lots of doubts before I decided to give this drama a go. First, the plot is old and has been recycled a lot, I was like, what is that something new that they will add to this drama? Second, how can I unsee Zhang Yu Jian as Yan Mo? Third, I really hate Xu Xiao Nuo's character from 'About is Love' and its hard to separate her from that because I'm afraid that she'll be the same pushover from that drama. Nevertheless, I still gave this a try since I'm a sucker for contract marriage plot, multiple couples/side stories, and Kido Gao whom I liked after 'The Kings Avatar'. Well, here is my quick review of the first 3 episodes.

Plot- as I've said earlier, nothing new that the guy is rich and that the girl is struggling (at least she's not dirt poor, she has a nice apartment, decent job that pays well, and ample savings), nothing new that the guy is in love with someone else, but the turnaround was that accident that started it all. Its cute that the first two times they met, it was Youyou who is saving Yi Han. Their contract marriage is more like a 'saving face' marriage for Yi Han, although Youyou has always liked Yi Han as a singer, but the marriage is more advantangeous to the guy. But what I'm really excited to see are the two other couples. One is Yi Han's manager aka his first love who is totally oblivious that her talent has been harboring feelings for her, and Li Tian Nuo's aka Youyou's childhood friend who has always liked her. I like to see how their love story will intertwine with Yi Han and Youyou.

Acting- It was quite easy to unsee Yu Jian as Yan Mo because he acts well. It was refreshing to see him smile and just be casual. Moreover, my favorite line, so far, of Yi Han are those words he said before he proposed to Youyou while in his car, it was really sweet coated with a hint of desperation. Youyou isn't that irritating, she's quite feisty actually and I hope she will not lose that zeal. I like Yi Han's manager, Kan Di, too. She's such a femme fatale as a manager, but weak when it comes to love. I would like to see how she'll react when she realized Yi Han's true feelings. The other characters weren't too significant yet like Ran Zi Shu and her future boy toy.

Verdict- the first 8 episodes was easy to watch, there's a right amount of comedy and drama, a bit of backstory for us to have a glimpse of Youyou and Yi Han's past, and some swoon-worthy moments to highlight our OTP. Our OTP's chemistry is still starting, there's fizzle, it needs a bit more push, but they are going in the right direction. I will continue to watch this to see the growth of our 1st and 2nd couple, but if it gets overly dramatic or draggy, will drop this.
