This turned out exactly how I expected, tropey, cringey and with lighting so bright it could make you go blind.…
I find that kind of lighting quite annoying. One of the reasons I stopped watching the c-drama Be Yourself was the lighting (as you say, I barely could see their faces). Le coup de foudre had the same problem (but I didn't drop that one).
Does anyone know a drama similar to this with an arranged marriage and good cinematography?
Destined, starring Bai Jing Ting. Very good drama. And Are you the one, starring Zhang Wan Yi (but it's not an arranged marriage, it's a fake marriage). Also excellent.
This one is far from being so good, but it's entertaining. A light watch.
