Are you still not convinced to watch this Gem? Maybe this will change your mind??

I'm usually that person who forwards most of the drama, especially if it goes up to 50-60 episodes! When I found this on IQIYI, the fact that is only has 29 episodes already got me. Boy was this drama a breath of fresh air!

Reasons to watch:
1. The parents! Oh how many times have we watched a drama where the parents are the main antagonist of their children's happiness? This one was definitely different! The ML's parents were one of the best characters in the series. They were understanding, they listen, and they value family. They accepted our FL regardless of her background. FL's adoptive mother too was another great addition. They were all a big factor in our main couple's development as characters.

2. The other side characters - aside from the parents, everyone else has been interesting in the drama. The brother, although he fell in love with our FL, he was happy as long as our main couple are happy. There was no angst, or rivalry between him & FL. I'm glad he had a bit of a happy ending in the end where it was hinted that he might finally found the woman for him. FL's sisters, her doctor friend, her personal maid, the uncles & most especially ML's bodyguard (my favorite character, no doubt!). They all played a part in the story. They were funny, caring, & ready to protect our main couple at all times!

3. Great closure for the antagonists - amazing how the writers didn't just kill off the antagonists just to close out the story. Instead, they showed how karma works & that whatever bad thing you do, will definitely get back to you. The crazy maternal cousin & the 2nd son of the song family both got what they deserve.

4. Amazing chemistry - kisses, kisses, & more kisses! I'm always amazed in dramas with leads who have an amazing chemistry, where you don't even feel that you're just watching fiction. Their love & support for each other has been on point! It took a while before our FL finally realized her feelings for our ML, but boy was it worth the wait! The way he defends her, & explained how he loves her regardless of her background would make you swoon! When our FL encountered a problem at the near end of the series, our ML didn't force her to tell him just because they are husband & wife. Instead, he just waited until she is ready to confide in him, & silently helped his wife through that ordeal.. gaaah!!

Yes, there are small plot holes here & there, but honestly who's counting? Lol. The pregnancy thing though was more funny than annoying since the parents do question why her tummy isn't getting any bigger, but I guess they trust & cherish her so that it isn't even an issue. Although, yes, the fake pregnancy thing was the main reason ML's mother got mad at our FL, for a moment.

Now, if you're still hesitant to watch it, I say go ahead & press play! It's just 29 episodes too so no draggy plots in here. 😊😊
