is this your absolutely typical sweet cdrama featuring cold hero and bubbly heroine? yes. but Mary Jane she is not!!! she is beautiful, famous, and has a Ph.D?! hell yes. also lots of great commentary about beauty as a construct and makeup as a tool for empowerment not because of shame...like honestly mind blown a bit there for this being a chinese drama.

a lot of corny and unnecessary drama, particularly a whole couple episodes worth of the leads working undercover and a very annoying "villian" character that i think the show could have done without so plot wise sometimes felt clumsy towards the end, but overall a nice refreshing watch.

also 10/10 to the writer who kept making very self aware rom-com drama jokes and references
