Interesting role for Jadie Jia. I like to watch both of these leads. I think this is the first time I've seen Jia kiss so passionately. Wang Yi Ran practically ate her face, lol. Anyway, spoilers below.
Pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the steamy kisses. Wish there had been more of those. Nice tension w/MC.More…
Wow. Lots of twists and unexpected turns. Loved the scene where FL stripped her brother naked so the psychiatrist could evaluate him for erectile dysfunction, lol. One of the questions I had was why didn't her brother know about and address her memory loss? That was later explained when he confessed to the ML about having hacked information over a period of time to determine the ML wasn't the guy who killed the father. Yes, still some gaps, but mostly satisfied with outcomes. There was basically just one really steamy make out session w/MC sleeping together. ML's half brother was pyscho. HE w/FL proposing to ML and chaste kiss. Her brother and the psychiatrist become a couple.
I watched because I had seen ML in another vertical and wanted to check out others. I rated a 7 because ML always…
ok for a revenge plot. ML always loved fl and stood by her even when he didn't agree w/her actions. Never really understood why he was getting engaged to her half sister, maybe not shown well or subs just bad. Didn't find out until about 2/3 ways that the brother was actually adopted by her dad and step mom. Same plot I've seen, but hidden until much later in drama. Kiss were ok, not a lot of chemistry from fl, more so from ml. HE w/all 4 of her "family" getting some karma and MC reunited w/her having all her memories back. At the end, she's 6 months pregnant and following her mom's footsteps in music.
loved the twist where her first husband is the one who orchestrated their divorce because he had always loved her but didn't want to tie her down because of his illness. Loved how ML was so devoted to fl but didn't know how to really love her and used other means to tie her to him. Some ok kisses, decent ls, extended end where she thinks he's dead and he shows up about 5 years later and she has his son. They are reunited, but no hug or kiss, lol.
crazypants ml, possessive, obsessive, aggressive, didn't know how to love. Several tension scenes w/cage and bed, lol. A few good kisses. No shirtless scenes. Turns out 2ml made selfish choices too when he teamed up w/the guy who killed fl's parents. Never really showed why ml loved fl, like where was the story on how he fell in love? Maybe that was edited out? FL did a lot to get away from ml, even aborting her child. After the 2ml is revealed, the MC get a second chance. Fl starts pushing to get married and the ml puts her off this time. He goes off to war and “divorces” her so she can be “free”. She's preggers and he comes back about 4 years later. They meet as family of three. The end.
not as good as some of his others, but he's a nice guy here having waited 8 yrs to trick her into marriage. A few good kisses, implied ls, HE w/mc married most of drama, fl reunited with real family, no real karma shown for ex and 2fl, just comment they are going to jail. No remorse shown from adopted parents and we didn't get to see her actual reuniting w/real parents, only one of her brothers. Game show for couples was cute. I rated higher because I like to watch ZBX, :)
liked both leads. FL doesn't have MDL page yet. A couple of kinda chaste kisses. Cute chemistry w/MC. Loved how ML stood up for FL. Crazy second leads got their karma even if it was harsh. Loved the grandfather. HE.
Cao Sai Ya looks stunning in that pearl beaded dress in the opening scenes. She had more costumes than you usually see in a vertically filmed drama and looked amazing in all.
fake kisses really, more just pressing lips and moving head, lol. Glad fl started to stand up for herself, although, she was really just pretending before. Karma paid by villains. Loved her mother-in-law loving her so much. Have seen similar troupes. Watched for ml, but it wasn't as good as I hoped. Loved his puppy look. HE w/birth of baby and fl surrounded by love of MIL and ML and baby.
ml's mom hires girls to seduce him to get a baby. He mistakes fl for one of those girls and rapes her after he's been drugged. He doesn't believe her when she tells him he's making a mistake. 8 months later, his friend see's her bleeding and going to hospital. ML realizes he's wrong about her. His family loves her and protects her. Her mom and brother turn on each other. There's a green tea who causes problems, a jealous classmate that causes problems and the FL cries too much, lol. A few good kisses. ML becomes besotted and protective. FL cries, lol. HE w/wedding and them taking a shower together, lol.
I wish Cao Tian Kai had this wardrobe in every drama he does. He must be the most ripped actor who does vertically filmed out there. No body doubles for him. If anyone knows of others, please do tell. :)
PLOT: FL was stolen as a child from her real family and adopted by an ordinary woman who works as a maid. Her biological family finds her, but she doesn't want to admit to the world that she is a child of that family quite yet. She meets the ML and each believe the other to be someone else. Thus begins their romance. Meanwhile, her biological family has arranged a marriage with another of the four dominate families. Of course, the ML is the arranged marriage partner. Both deny the marriage not knowing it's really the both of them. Lots of mistaken identity troupes ensue. I primarily watched because of actors. Spoilers below.
Chemistry was meh for me. A few ok kisses and one love scene where her real mom actually sees them in bed together. Not my favorite w/fl not wanting to reveal her real id and the ml lying about his to keep her from dumping him. ML was persistent in his pursuit. Not a fan of FL here. Liked her better in the one with ZBX. HE w/MC together again after her mom dies, she has amnesia and he gets a half brother and they all defeat the scheming 2fl who wants to take over all four families.
Anyway, spoilers below.

Yes, one of the problems with the photos is that they often look so different from the videos. Case in point: Yeo Hao Ran
