More enjoyable than the popular ones

Okay I watched few version of this and i am kind not liking most of the popular one but this one was exception. FL was not too childish and annoying like other version rather i said she just got simple mind while ML was not too stern with FL He is too reserved due the trauma. The chemistry between He Ling Yao and Liu Guo Hao are quite cute rather than being romantic. I liked the scene where the high school love rival is describing ML as a businessman while ML is kissing FL for the first time.

The progression from mute to verbalization is impressive for the ML. Along with his ability to meld into FL's personality and willingness to aid in his recovery. The ending was decent, positive knowing both individuals are accepting each other looking forward to a real relationship including intimacy. Too bad it was abrupt.

Thank God to make Younger sister less annoying

There is too many version about , sisters mistakenly enter the wrong bridal chamber that i watched and i should said this one was completely making me devastated since i like 3 of the actors in here: Chen Zhengyang, Duan Meiyang, and Han Jiahui. Whoever cast Han Jiahui and Cheng Zi as siblings has eagle eye.

The strength of this version the younger sister aka Cheng Zi character was less annoying while other version always making younger sister looks like 5 years old spoiler brat and it was the best Younger Sister in all version that i watch. Han Jiahui may not have alpha woman aura but the chemistry between her and Duan Meiyang are quite enjoy to watch even their intimate scene was not too steamy but it feels warm. Finally, a family drama series understands the concept of "family matters are handled by family," and doesn't let outsiders meddle. For the styling, i have no problem with that.

This version has a smooth plot and solid logic. Finally, there's no villain with a father who goes crazy for no reason and whose intelligence seems to drop. The behavior of each character is logically sound, and the emotions develop gradually. As you watch, you naturally accept that the two couples love each other. MLs mother also got divorced, which cracked me up. The ML's father deserved it; he was always emphasizing rules and being domineering and unreasonable

But there are no real kissing scenes in this drama, I don't understand why Chen Zhengyang and Cheng zi used camera tricks since i know both of them can kiss. It was my biggest letdown in this version. If they add the kissing scene it would be perfect

Did I enjoy this? Yes. Will I recommended it? Plot wise, i still recommend this.

It was quite refreshing Ma Xiao Yu role

I watched this Ma Xiao Yu and Jin Zi and plot wise it was the best one even the hidden identity part was quite too dragging. Ma Xiao Yu in here was less toxic than his other dramas and i quite enjoy this drama too

The first 100 episodes mainly revolve around FL sleeping with a handsome guy, but they break up because of her stinginess. Her family has a pile of expensive items from blind dates, and the handsome guy, unable to bear it, just gets married to her. FL has a spoiled husband who can cook, can argue with her eccentric parents and siblings, and is incredibly loyal and unmoved by other women.

After episode 100, ML true identity is revealed: the spoiled husband is not only handsome and loyal, does housework, but is also rich, and transfers all the houses to her name. So the two have a few minor arguments, a romantic birthday celebration, resolve issues with their parents, and finally, a happy ending.

Recommended to watch if you have nothing to watch.

Good Make-out scene with garbage plot

I watched this last year and i found it ridiculous about Wu Yuhang character in here. My reason to watched this because of Zhang Shan and i guaranteed her kissing scene is good but the plot is make me the scriptwriter really loves ML character and have sadistic circumstances to FL character. If you like kissing scenes, you can check it drama , there are quite a few kisses, although it doesn't feel like there's much sparks in this.

This drama makes me feel like ML is the darling of the gods. He puts a love tribulation on FL, forcing her to fulfill his dream. FL's sister calls him "brother-in-law" whenever she sees him. FL isn't very willing, but she has to marry him to save her life. The ML's character isn't even as good as the SML. SML went abroad for five years to fight for power for the original owner of the body, and after returning, he fights and grabs her while still respecting her.

The only two redeeming qualities of this drama are the high attractiveness of the entire cast and the numerous intimate scenes that are quite sensual. The plot is trash. The patriarch couldn't even protect his own sister, let alone give her a good life. FL was practically dead. It's ridiculous that he was saved later, but it still feels absurd. Moreover, there's a lot of verbal sparring, and I really can't stand the scenes where the FL is mocked and then slapped in the face. In the end, FL confesses that she loved the ML a thousand years ago, but she lied about cultivating immortality to avoid hurting him due to health reasons. However, it wasn't clear from the beginning that FL loved the ML that much; it felt like a prelude to her later decision to give up her chance at immortality. But in the end, the female lead wanted to cultivate immortality, so she deliberately disappeared for a year, making it impossible for the ML to contact her, and even arranged various women for him.

If you are plot-driven person, avoid this drama. Don't become like me!

Don't excepting this drama

There is one unspeakable rule when i want to watch duanju for Wang Xiao Yi: Never expected too much for her romance drama. She is quite good at non romance drama role but her magic doesn't work non romance drama. Her kisses skill was quite evolved from her drama with Ye Haoran but the hot kisses means nothing if they don't have any chemistry.
Wang Xiao Yi's acting felt a bit over the top at times, such as when she calls the ML "husband" in public, which felt a little "dramatic." Also, the scenes in the early episodes where she tries to seduce ML (I know it's probably scripted) felt a bit overdone. It makes me feel like the she isn't quite suited to this type of role. Liang Siwei is just another Liang Siwei, there is nothing to complain except the chemistry doesn't seems work for me and i just forget the drama after i watch this.

The plot is the same old trope of a wealthy, unloved FL reclaiming everything. The story is fairly standard, and the plot is a bit short, but it does have its unique aspects. From the beginning, the FL has a clear goal: to regain her company shares. She beats up any bad guys she sees, which is hilarious and strangely satisfying to watch. ML also knows the FL's intentions from the start and falls in love with her before she does, so he's always jealous. At least the FL character was not miserable.

Not sure if i want to recommend this drama unless you're hardcore fans of leads.

I supposed to be happy when original plot was upgraded but...

I watched the original one last year and just realized there is another adaptation by Gong Fang Ni and Zhang Liren. The plot was quite upgraded and the duration way longer than original version but there is something wrong with this drama. The leads chemistry was none to be seen and they make it serious and losing the comedy aspect so the result FL in here were quite do anything without thinking about the consequence and end up looking careless. Oh they still add the violence part on mental inward for 30 minutes so viewer discretion is advised.

Okay the weakest point in this drama is unfortunately, Zhang Liren. He really not showing any attraction to FL and i found he was rather passive in anything making the ML character less interesting. I would like if they focused on romance, they could build up the relationship first but since there no chemistry, no spark and either comrades. It feels like stranger helping each other. Gong Fang Ni really tried liven up her character as FL but the dynamic between the leads are quite disjointed.

I don't want to spoiling too much there is big change on original version either you'll like if you're on romance or you will hate it since it defying logic..

When your group perfomance score based from individual skill

I watched this last year and the reason is Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi's acting has also improved significantly (a noticeable improvement compared to similar roles involving a two-faced, scheming character). I quite not familiar with Lin Zilin but her performance was below average.

I cannot sympathize with FL's character. It's quite concern me when psychiatrist to fall in love with a patient and have a romantic relationship with them. Does they never scare their license will be revoked? ML's storyline is complete, but FL's storyline is a bit off. I personally think it's related to the actors' performances and understanding of the story.

Okay for my little skill of understanding. This drama has a very empty storyline. Everyone is insane; there are no normal people, and nothing serious happens. They're all eccentric. It feels very stream-of-consciousness and dark. FL is loved by the ML in the wrong way and retaliates in the wrong way. I wonder why they didn't communicate their traumas when they were in love? In the end, everything is suddenly revealed, and it become simple drama.

Overall recommended it you into dark drama.

There is many hole in ML character.

I watched this year ago and this is pleasant surprise from Du Yafei., i liked how he potrayed the ML. This is my first ever Wu Jialu drama's and her acting is quite comfortable to see.

FL disguises herself as an ugly woman to go on a blind date for her best friend, only to find that her blind date is actually her college classmate whom she has secretly loved for ten years. FL is filled with regret, thinking the blind date has failed, but unexpectedly, ML wants to take things further. What was thought to be a one-sided unrequited love turns out to be a cautious mutual affection and unrequited love. Facing various external interferences, such as misunderstandings and third-party intervention, their relationship goes through many twists and turns . Ultimately, they overcome the difficulties, bravely confess their feelings, and get together.

The biggest problem is that the ML is a scumbag. He's surrounded by women, has no boundaries whatsoever, and claims to treat them all like sisters. He even gets together with one of them for three months because she's his best friend's sister. How can he have the nerve to claim he love FL for 10 years. He cannot talk to FL to clear the misunderstanding.

Kissing scenes are good, lack of good certain atmosphere beforehand? I prefer to see kisses that develop naturally, rather than those spontaneous, impulsive kisses. These kinds of kisses feel cheap and it only used for marketing. This drama contains simple secret love which is common formula in short drama. What this drama better, were the leads delicate acting and chemistry.

Recommended to watch despite the flaw logic about ML

Come and Hug Me but less melodramatic element.

I watched this drama last year and felt familiar with this plot and it feels like K-Drama "Come and Hug Me" specifically about childhood sweetheart reunited with the son of a serial killer and the daughter of a victim. Main difference in K-drama are ML was a pilot not a detective and no melodramatic element in this drama. I liked the slice of life approach on this drama since they prefer show reflection of the complex spectrum of human nature. Xie Yu Wang and Zhang Shan have excellent looks and physiques, and a certain chemistry that you can help and nodded when they are together.

FL struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder and PTSD, achieving some success, though not a complete cure, but she faces life with a positive attitude and becomes actress. To prepare her role for her upcoming movie, FL studies flight technology at an airline, where she reunites with the ML. Both experience a simple, honest, and instinctive reaction. ML conscience about his father sin and bringing his guilt when he faced FL was quite decent. FL approach to ML by standing together despite the past was quite nice. The relationship pace between the leads are quite logical and natural.

Villains are also well-developed and not one-dimensional. The plot details are generally reasonable. The part about the ML transitioning from a military pilot to civilian aviation is foreshadowed and hinted at through his uncle's adoption, name change, and historical erasure, which is a good approach.

Recommended when you want to seek trauma healing for the broken leads.

Long Xi performance was the drama saver.

I watched this for Li Lei but ends up liking Long Xi performance in this drama. She excels the acting and personally i quite like her performance based for all adaptation i watch and FL in this version is independent, clear-headed, intelligent, and strong.
She is not too passive like the other version. There is no sex scene, but it is still quite good due Li Lei and Long Xi chemistry.
The problem in this drama was Li Lei and Wang Lin acting were quite not really good and it feels they are just eye candy for the drama. The sudden ending left me feeling unsatisfied. This is first version and the plot was not quite plausible to watch. I only recommended this drama if you are hardcore fans of the actors.

For the plot and chemistry, this one are the best adaptation.

I actually watched this drama last year but i remember when i watched another recent adaptation that didn't meet my expectation. I declare this to be the most complete version of character development! Especially the warlord CEO, he finally feels like a person, with "humanity". The chemistry between Zhang Xuan and Chen Linmiao were great.

Zhang Xuan's nuanced performance in here gives ML enough humanity: the unintentional awkwardness when approaching FL, the deliberate display of his cloth shoes and scarf when he's smitten, and the confident stride up the steps in the final episode when he proposes, all while secretly stumbling with nervousness.

Cheng Linmiao, is a stunning beauty I recently discovered; her looks and figure are top-notch in my eyes. The styling and costumes in this drama suited her perfectly, but compared to the ML's acting and Long Xi's portrayal of Xu Bai. She stills need to catch up the acting skills.

The plot was quite well-written with no plot hole. People prefer Li Ruoxun version but personally i liked this drama since the chemistry between the leads were right to me and ML is more realistically portrayed by Zhang Xuan.

Recommended to watch.

Turns out i was mad at the two collaboration.

Okay I watched this few years ago. And I remember why i was mad at He Cong Rui-Bai Yan combo beside Ye Chong. They are not compatible since i feel they are acting in different drama. The character felt disjointed. He Congrui doesn't have the older man/older woman vibe, and Bai Yan doesn't have the younger woman/older woman vibe. The way He Congrui and Bai Yan acted together made the viewing experience somewhat uncomfortable. He Congrui seemed more like the younger one, while Bai Yan seemed more like the older one, making the whole drama feel a bit awkward.

FL is innocent, cute, naive, and romantic, while the ML has been plotting for a long time. Because he likes her, because she studies art, and because he was traumatized by her brother's death, he donated an art building and a psychology building to her school. Because she likes flowers, he bought her a refrigerator full of flowers. There's practically no drugging or a vicious female supporting character; it's just a sweet and heartwarming little story. But when the plot were good and the character are mismatch, you cannot help but imagine what if the lead characters played by someone else.

Treat this as NPC drama

I watched this last year and this is the most recent drama from Zhang Jinyi and Lu Huanyu. For me this drama is ultimately for hardcore fans and CP fans. It was pretty mediocre.

Plot is about FL is controlled and manipulated by her uncle, but she endures her suffering to avenge her parents. ML is the weapon she lured into her life, wielding immense power. The beginning of the plot is very engaging; FL's appearance playing the piano is stunning. Plus, she gets two kills right at the start. However, the subsequent plot weakens. ML is overly enthusiastic, while the FL seems to be taking things too hard. She uses ML as a tool, but her methods of revenge are not satisfying to watch. With sufficient evidence, she could have easily caught and killed the bad guys, but she went through all that trouble for using inefficient method.

The costumes and props are good, and the plot is another Good Girl adaptation, but the story is poorly written. FL's initial portrayal of a villain is quite compelling, but she becomes less so later, becoming rather mediocre and flat.

Lin Fensong acting was on point.

Okay I watched few Song Amnesia Yuanye version but i quite like Lin Fensong one I surprised on Bai Ye acting since most of her drama were quite underwhelming but both leads got decent chemistry. Her potrayal of FL was not over to top and shown her insecurities which kind of rare on other version. The kissing scenes are absolutely stunning. There's no melodrama, no angst, and no manipulative green tea bitches—it's a sweet drama that's incredibly addictive.

The charm of a good screenwriter lies in their ability to bring different appeal to the same plot. I want to search this scriptwriter other works since she/he write this story more plausible to watch.

One thing I really like about this drama is FL's departure from the SML and her subsequent love for the ML are predictable and not at all abrupt. It's the SML's cowardice, SML mother's domineering and manipulative behavior, the family's disrespect and contempt for FL, and his possessiveness towards her as a perfect commodity that make her realize their problems are irreconcilable, making a decisive separation inevitable. She did try to give this relationship, which she thought she had loved for years, a happy ending, but she still lost to incompatible souls . She fell in love with ML slowly while she already let go her past relationship.

This version of Song Yuanye has a perfectly balanced twisted quality during the early stages of their ambiguous, tug-of-war. He's clearly a villain, yet he possesses a unique and devoted love for the female lead, making him both deeply affectionate and captivating. ML loved her "imperfections" even more. A kiss on her imperfect ballerina feet, which she thought was embarrassing but was actually her pride, shattered the last line of defense she had always held. Her soul was touched, and she fell completely in love with him, even before she remembered him as the lover who had given her such passionate feelings. ML's physical attraction was really evident; loving someone can indeed be acted out. Lin Fensong nailed on this ambiance situation.

The only downside was that the memory recovery at the end felt a bit rushed, but that doesn't detract from the overall quality. It's definitely worth watching.

Like the ending, Yang Luo Qian and Chen Zheng Yang delivers their role.

I watched this drama and surprisingly i liked this drama despite how infuriating the plot was. Yang Luo Qian loves this script since most of her dramas i watch are FL was being hurt by scumbag. But this drama showcase her acting more than her previous drama.

From FL's perspective, the story shows ML repeatedly abandoning her for SFL and their child.

Plot is about FL tries every means to get a divorce, ML always finds various excuses to disagree. FL discovers she's pregnant, but by then she's already given up on him, so she has an abortion and insists on a divorce (quite controversial but i prefer her to abort the baby, if she keep the baby ML would be manipulated her again). ML finally confesses to her that he and SFL are innocent, and that the child isn't his. However, the damage has already been done, and FL doesn't forgive him. ML realizes his mistakes and ultimately chooses to let go. It's a classic case of regret from scumbag. But the difference in this drama, there is no SML to 'heal' FL. FL is doing this alone by herself. Although FL is indeed deeply hurt and evokes sympathy, she remains clear-headed and resolute throughout, determined to get a divorce without any wavering, which is quite satisfying to watch.

Chen Zheng Yang was really ultimate scumbag in here, i hated him in here. Even though ML really loves ML emotional infidelity was unacceptable. From the very beginning, when ML abandoned FL for the 'test' to pick up SFL FL refused to accept it. If FL had tolerated it this time, what awaited her was being morally blackmailed and forced to tolerate ML's behavior in every way. These low-down behaviors of the ML are no better than physical infidelity. The only redeeming point from ML, he is not abusing SFL and the child like another type of this drama. All the misunderstandings were his own doing, and ML deserves the consequences.

Overall only recommended for Hardcore fans
