Nice pace, opening and chemistry

I like how this series starts with ML and FL wedding, with the start of each episode the wedding proceedings are played out. The pace and flow so far is great for this series. It keeps you hook on the series just to see how the wedding plays out and how the couple got to this point.

I was not that convinced with this pairing from the start, but the FL lead Xiang Han Zhi really played out her role of a perfect student well. This is the first project that I have seen her in but I was sold after 8 episodes. FL character is fiercely loyal and a brilliant student but with a tiger mom that is very focused on ML's school results only.

Wang An Yu has also grown in his projects till date and he looks great in this role too. I am a fan of his growth as an actor. In this series he plays a math/computer genius but with many personal issues after his family's factory closes, from financial burdens, moral burdens and even parent's health issues.

The ML and FL chemistry can really be felt from the wedding proceedings and how they look at each other. After the 8 beginning episodes, I feel that this will be a good couple pairing and is sold that they really care and grow with each other. ML really knows how to flirt with the FL very well and the FL responses well too. Its really sweet to watch the process and end the year 2020 with such a sweet series about promises (which are not meant to be broke). So in my opinion this is a better pairing than the currently running chinese drama of twisted fate of love and you complete me.

Episode 1-6 is when they are in high school, puppy love or infatuation stages, FL really starts to understand ML at this stage and ML opens up to her when he has shut out the world and was only focused on monetary gains.

Episode 7-12 is when they are at the same university, So it should be the pursue/ courtship stages. Episode 12 is when ML and FL confirm their relationship.

Episode 13-18 the development of their relationship and the side couple relationships

Episode 18 -28 onwards its just career, family and getting to the marriage stage

If there is one weakness in this series, I would say its the voice dubbing, especially the voice of yuan hao (FL neighbor that is interested in her), which is a pity because I had really liked this actor in the Romance of Hua Rong when he played a pirate captain.

Completed this series and the early stages of this series is the best in terms of romance, but as it went on, the love scenes became lesser and lesser, last deep kiss scene that i can recall is at the cinema. After that its just downhill and we dont even see a wedding kiss, which is a pity since the FL and ML had such great chemistry. The kissing scenes are there but was edited or removed as shown on this link https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXNC3vFHZV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
