Very similar to “Well Intended Love”

This was produced by the same people that made “Well Intended Love” and you can see the similarities right away. It even has the extra little scene clip at the end of every episode. It’s very romantic with lots of skinship.

Things I liked:
I liked the light fluffiness of the drama. This is exactly what I need after a really heavy emotional drama. It’s low on angst and heavy on romance. The kisses were downright steamy. And I also liked that the female lead was very strong and confident. Even though the male lead was a very wealthy CEO she didn’t need him. I’m so tired of the wimpy simpering females that play damsels in distress in most dramas nowadays. And getting to see the main leads together for a good length of time and seeing what their lives are like on down the road was awesome. I really liked that they didn’t abruptly end the drama right after the main leads got together which happens in almost every drama nowadays. There are two more couples that are pretty cute and we even see their storylines well fleshed out which was nice. I liked being able to see how they turned out. The acting was pretty good and the editing wasn’t choppy at all like some dramas. It flowed smoothly, the actors wardrobe was really nice. It wasn’t a low budget production at all.

Things I disliked:
I wished this drama had the deeper storyline like they did with “Well Intended Love.” With WIL there was an obsessed female friend, kidnapping, amnesia, a revenge plot, along with the male lead lying to get the female lead to marry him. This entire drama revolved around the male leads amnesia. Every bump in the road for the main leads had to do with overcoming his amnesia issues. There was very little to the story other than amnesia. The other two couples did make it better. They were cute. And there was one little brief issue of a spy at their workplace. But other than that there wasn’t much to the story other than the bickering main leads trying to work out their differences over his amnesia. It was a decent plot but having the amnesia issue drag on for the entire length of the drama without anything else exciting happening got monotonous. I can see why some people said it was boring. I wouldn’t say it was boring but I could see why others who aren’t as into romance as I am would. The sweetness of the main couple along with steamy kisses, and skinship kept it sweet and cute and made it a worthwhile watch. But the storyline needed depth and a few more twists. And dubbing this drama with the same exact voices used for the male and female leads in WIL was disappointing. Hearing Ling Yi Zhou’s voice and Xia Lin’s voice from WIL on the main leads in this drama was a bit disconcerting.

One other issue:
I’m not sure if this is a problem everywhere this drama was offered because that’s how it was produced or if it was strictly a YouTube problem.
But the only place I could find English subs was on YouTube. And the YouTube version had a few issues. Sometimes the music was so loud that you couldn’t hear the actors speak. And several times the sound cut out completely. And occasionally the subs on the screen weren’t up long enough to finish reading them. It wasn’t a constant issue. I would say these problems only occurred every once in a while. Probably about 70% of the time the drama had none of these issues. So it wasn’t super bad and it wouldn’t stop me from watching it. But still, it was annoying and detracted from the overall feel of the drama.

Final thoughts:
Overall I’m glad I watched it. Yes the storyline wasn’t as deep as I’d like it to be and the YouTube version I watched had a lot of technical glitches. But I loved that it was low on angst and high on romance, skinship, and sweetness. So if you go into it knowing what to expect you should enjoy it. I did.
