Drama so sweet you'll get diabetes.
I accidently stumbled upon this gem. Nothing new with the story premise - contractual marriage. However, this drama was well written, no childish antics or evil side characters.
I did find the female lead's way of talking too nasally and childish but it got better and stopped being a bother. There's a natural development in their relationship. No one had to change themselves for the other. No one was forced into doing anything they didn't want. There's lots of respect, skinship, back hugs and kisses. The leads act very naturally, so it's an easy buy in. In certain angles, the female lead reminds me to korean singer/actor Suzy in the olden days. Relationship with grandpa is also very cute, like when he addresses his grandpa as academic Zhang, and grandpa calls him asst. Prof Zhang.
Although there isn't much of a plot to pick apart, the only thing I couldn't buy into was how the scald on her ankle can render her immobile. It would have been better to give her a sprained ankle.
The costume department should get claps as well for not dressing the female lead like an overgrown doll like most other drama. Her clothes suits her very well and her wedding dress was divine. Other drama put their actors in the ugliest dress possible and telling the audience that it's dreamy. The innuendos are also appropriate and funny. There are a few things in the plot that don't make sense but considering that this is a fluff drama, it's forgiven. I didn't like the ending but it won't stop me from rewatching. I could not help smiling while watching the leads.
I did somehow notice that the running color theme is mossy green. House, car, clothes. Mostly mossy green.
