Not Worth Watching

So just like the synopsis explains Su Jishi takes over for her twin sister in order to help her out. Right from the get-go, she's kidnapped by her sister's management team who convince her to help out. Why did the writers bother with a kidnapping scene? Who knows, but it was honestly not necessary. It didn't do anything for the storyline. They probably did it to attract viewers after reading the synopsis.

As the episodes progress, you appreciate the FL and her defiant and rebellious ways of doing things but later, she becomes so-so. Eventually, you see the two leads start falling in love but of course they deny their feelings.

The SML, and the SFL get a lot of screen time. SML Gao Ling is the ML's secretary and SFL Xiaoman is the ML's younger sister. Half the drama is about them and I absolutely disliked their scenes so much I fast-forwarded through all of them. I just couldn't stand Xiaoman who was nothing but an immature, whiny, pouty character. Her sole purpose was to basically stalk the SML and then some, acting like a crazy, obsessive girlfriend when she wasn’t even in a relationship. She was clearly a nepo baby whose main job was to stalk her brother's secretary. Her character pouted through the entire series. Why C-dramas insist on always glorifying stalking, childish women is beyond me. I also hated the mother. I definitely wouldn't want to marry into a family with her as a MIL.

FYI, the kisses between the ML and FL are okay in the beginning but later as the series progresses, you'll see fewer and fewer kissing scenes. I think this show got heavily censored as it aired. There was so much time spent on the ML trying to get the FL to tell the truth about her identity that it was getting tedious. Her drunken confession scenes were such a cop-out from the writers. You start to dislike her as much as both leads' fashion attire. Whoever the stylist was, some of the clothing for scenes like the camping ones, were out of place. How hard is it to put them in casual clothes? Ridiculous.

As for the relationship between the two leads, there's just something missing. When the sister came back, they just wrapped it up easily and the ending was very predictable.

I definitely wouldn't rewatch this.
