When I initially started the drama, I expected a typical Chinese cliche with bad acting, plot with dramatic twists. since time and time again , I have lost hope, but this drama was such a breath of fresh air.

It had all those usual cliches, and somehow I didn’t find them annoying. They were every bit fun.

Story:
An upcoming actress is diagnosed cancer and needs a bone marrow. She happens to see a file and gets to know the match as hero. She begs him to help her and he agrees it in exchange for marriage contract.

At the beginning I found the lead to be contradictory to his character which I only understood after the plot twist. The plot twist is hard to get through, I only was able to due to the lead’s excellent chemistry.

Add in a villain plotting ways to end the hero, the second female lead plotting the female lead’s end, birth secrets, amnesia, sick grandmas.

Acting:
The actors acted fairly good, I found the main lead handsome and looked a bit Korean for me. He brought the right amounts of work addicted, unsocial rich ceo.
The lead actress was very cute, being the good character who helps people but she has a backbone too. Usually all good characters become Mary Sue ish which is irritating to watch, but here she stands up for herself, has pride, respects others. She is an ideal lead a little too good to believe but we’ll take that.

Their chemistry was off the charts. The characters had such a flow of how their relationship grew, they are very rational(except for the hero lying to her that time)
He just did what he saw his father do, not justifying his actions but I love that he grew over the drama to a person who can express himself well. His was one of the best character growths .
The best friend was very supportive and her loveline with secretary was cute but at times draggy for me.
The other are of the drama is my dear second male lead, the bromance he had with main lead was very cute. Also the bickering between him and female lead, and their relationship in entirety was very cute and they had good chenistry too.
The second female lead was paper cut character of this childhood friend on love with lead, and wants to own him. She does despicable things but it doesn’t get on your nerves as much, so don’t worry.
The antagonist was well played, very cute actor with dimples and all. But his character was too one minded, potential to develop was there but they made it too unbelievable.

Rewatch:
I’ll probably watch it again after some even after the big reveal it will be fu to watch it, especially their chemistry damn!

Overall:
I would recommend this drama very much. I love it, some might hate the twist and drop the drama, but it’s a great one with cute leads , awesome chemistry, endearing side character, a bit of evil ones you can hate occasionally.
