Looks pretty but no substance
So this drama stars Dai Gao Zheng, or as PeachBlossomsGoddess so astutely calls him, “The Best-est of the Chest-est”… that’s probably the most positive thing I’ve got to say about the drama. Dai Gao Zheng is HOT, and look, the writers know it too. They take every possible opportunity to make him take off his shirt. Every side conversation he has, he’s either flexing his muscles in the gym or walking around half-naked. I’m pretty sure he spent more scenes with his shirt off than on in this drama.
The FL is gorgeous too. And she had great physical chemistry with the ML. There is lots and lots of skinship all across the drama (including some slap kisses, be warned) and the sparks do fly.
But other than that… the story was a huge mess. For some reason the writers chose to tell almost all of the story in the first ten or so episodes non-chronologically, with constant flashbacks and time jumps and “3 hrs earlier” and whatnot. SO unnecessarily confusing, especially for a plot that wasn’t all that solid in the first place. It was already riddled with plot holes before the timeline shenanigans.
So while there are individual scenes I enjoyed, I can’t say I liked the drama as a whole.
TROPES (light spoilers)
- ML falls first but FL chases first
- contract relationship
- cohabitation
- rich heir FL and ML who pretends to be poor but is also a CEO
- childhood friends to lovers
- amnesia due to car accident/trauma
- love triangle but the SML is evil
