I am single-handedly keeping these crappy Chinese short-drama companies in business, lmao

Okay, I am writing reviews for shows, and this one is next on my list. I finished this a while ago. It took me starting this twice and finally watching it with my friend, but it's done, and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I would give it an 8 out of 10, and then I am going to say what I liked, what I didn't, and then be done with this show.

Starting strong with what I liked, I think the plot, while very basic, was handled very well, mainly because the character writing was absolute HEAT. I feel like I don't say that a lot, especially for short dramas, but for what this was, the character writing was so fun. So basically, we have two sisters. Because they have no brothers, the oldest sister runs the company, and she is obviously under a lot of pressure. Then the two of them are set to marry two brothers, with the two oldest getting together and the two youngest getting together. And just like most plots (besides the two sisters getting married to run away from the marriage, that was sus), on a rainy night the sisters swap, with the older sister going with the younger brother and the younger sister going with the older brother. So we see where this is going, right? WRONG. Unlike many shows where we make both of our female leads incompetent, THE OLDER SISTER IS A DOMMY MOMMY, LIKE HELLO? THE YOUNGER BROTHER LITERALLY IS GETTING PEGGED (I don't have proof but trust) AND IT WAS JUST HEAT. Like, I think I loved it so much because of this: having a basic trope but breaking away from it in the best way possible, but yeah.

I especially liked the whole thing with the sisters' family, hating on her because she is a woman and then her proving them wrong, like I love that. I also love the dynamic between the younger sister and older brother; that was adorable, but it was truly just a great time all around, and whoever crafted up this shit you deserved to get your ass ate back and front because holy moly. I ALSO love me an unintentional commentary on misogyny and have roles flipped; love that so much.

The main things I didn't like were the sisters getting married, and the ending kind of fell off. Okay, so I mentioned this earlier. It's very suspicious. The two sisters, to get out of the marriages with the brothers, they get married at the start, and they gotta brush that off, and then it becomes a whole thing later, or an incest scandal, rightfully so because that was really weird. I did not like that. We didn't even need to do that because we ended up going to sleep with them anyway, so that just felt pointless and fetish-y, which I did not like. The second thing I didn't like was that the ending kind of fell off. I think it started off really strong, and then because it was damn near 60 episodes, it was hard to fill out all that, especially with the plot and the writing, so it kind of fell off. But other than that, I really enjoyed this.

I would recommend this for anybody bored out of their mind or who wants to watch a new short drama with their friends. Also, I would pay for this shit for real, for real. Okay bye!
