Well sorted plot.

So I just took a break from kdramas to watch something cringey cause of all the serious stuff I had been watching. I took this up by the title cause I felt that it might be cringey but boy was I wrong(not entirely). There were some cringey stuff here and there in the initial episodes. But the story was really well made. The characters were written so well and the casting was just perfect. So the story is like the ML is a ceo of a cosmetic company and the FL is a makeup artist, makeup blogger and influencer. She has a stress disorder which causes her into believing and living into someone that she actually cant be in reality. Even though it could look like a weakness but its more like a strength for her. Because whenever someone puts her down or tells her that she cant get this or be that, her disorder triggers. Gladly the ML is a gentleman and when he realises the reason behind her triggers, helps her into being her pretend boyfriend. Although he tries not to spend money and save money everytime which is surprising knowing that he's a rich guy. Meng hui's scar is something brings them together. Then Shen Yi realises she's the same girl who he hurt accidentally in the past and the scar is the memory of that incident. Though Meng Hui tries to stay positive and reassures people around her that she has forgotten the past and doesnt care about the scar but beneath she is still is effected by the scar. Now people might say that the scar is not that big of a eyecatcher but I guess thay couldnt just distort the heroine's face and also the fact that you cant judge what imperfection on one's face can cause someone insecure and vulnerable. Anyway, they really built good character development among the leads and everytime she switched to her other self it was such edgy and very unpredictable to what she would become. Hilariously, the staff of the LS planning department( and the 3 people of the crew of the beauty contest) always took whatever s#it happened everytime. One flaw is that how could they add anyone in the middle of the show cause of an absence of a contestant. They could of thought of some other way for ML to find out of the scar. But I guess they wanted it to look shocking and dramatic. Nevertheless they had some very sweet moments throughout the story. And the chemistry is really great. I saw some bts and they look really good together. Moving on to the other couples, I'll tell you that this is the what I love about chinese dramas. The second leads also get some happiness and love. No friendzoning. The psychiatrist-assistant couple was really cute. They were totally different character wise but were set well. The boy being passive and always being made fun of while the girl taking the wheel building this relationship. And him slowly realising that he loves her and wants to protect her. He was such a fluffy boy. The plastic surgeon-model couple were great together. Irony is that they looked mature and rather more experienced in dating stuff but were the slowest to progress haha. Overall good drama with some wholesome romance.
