Super cute and short RomCom Drama!

First of all, I love the simplicity of this drama, no harem plots, no overthrowing of kings, just a plain simple arranged marriage life in a General's mansion with a little bit of politics to spice up the couple's lives. This is very different from the typical General dramas, but it does has a mixture of Fake Princess plots to General Lady's fiery personality to the amazing cooking skills from the Chef Hua.

The plot is super fast-paced and kicks off the boring fillers and draggy scenes. For a short drama, this is really good! And they had casted in fresh faces so it is very refreshing to see!

I love the main leads, their acting may not be top-notch as this is their first few dramas but they did improve along the way. Overall, their acting wasn't very cringe or unbearable, it was decent.

Their chemistry was amazing, has the lovebirds feels. I may not be able to feel it from the start as it was pretty awkward at first, but they gradually clicked and became a loving couple. Especially their interactions, it was so romantic!

Female lead is very brave and fiery at the same time, but she can be bubbly, sweet and caring at times. She is not afraid of being bullied and always stands up for herself.

Male lead is portrayed as an introvert, weak scholar, but he is very protective of his little wife and knows when to stand up for her when it is right. And he respects his wife and is a noble man too, I salute this kind of guy! Just that the acting was a bit stiff but, it was still bearable.

Supporting characters added on to the character development where the loving sister-in-law took care of the female lead and she always gave good advices to her. She is very supportive of her, but can be portrayed as weak due to her domineering husband. Her husband which is the older brother is more strict and harsh, but gradually turned into a loving husband and brother-in-law. And there's the supportive dad who will watch out for the female lead and takes care of her too! It is very heartwarming to see how closely-knitted they are as a family!

The costumes worn by the leads felt repetitive but they were pretty decent, gave me the Japanese vibes which is super refreshing! The production didn't felt like a low-cost one and the soundtracks were not bad, there were not much but it does set the atmosphere at the right scenes. Editing was alright, just a few scenes here and there that were snipped off, making the whole transition not entirely smooth. Again, I'm not complaining as it is still bearable to watch!

Overall, I would recommend this drama to anyone who wants to watch it as it is definitely worth your time! Besides, it's only four episodes of 50mins+- each, that you can easily catch it on Youtube. I would definitely rewatch again!
