Frustrating
Hmmm what to say abt this show >_<First off I really wasn’t sure what the writers were thinking creating such unusual characters & then putting them together in a love story.
Let just say the guy is certainly cute, I love the potential there but they wrote him too intense, immature and a bit obnoxious to the point of rude sometimes.
Female lead they wrote her out just plain bland!
Her character gave me a few wrinkles watching her.
It got me questioning how unrealistic male lead’s love was cause it certainly feels like he was wasting his energy on a tree sometimes!
Him constantly chasing & her rejecting him yet writers never really gave a good excuse as to why except she don’t like rich kids spending their parents money??
Ain’t that a laugh...made her look like a judgemental person who never care for his real personality even though he was always there for her.
Only semi normal couple here was the cousin Yue!
But hey all the couples miraculously paired up on the same day after seperating for so many years!!
Talk abt writers dragging the drama then rushed it on the last episode..
Why even bother with the romance for the best friends?Although I liked ML’s best friend’s character but their love felt too forced in the end!
So all and all, I would not recommend this drama...Frustration Effect is strong in this one :-/

Chemistry on point!!!
This is my first time writing a review before completing a series (currently waiting for ENG subs on the last 2 episodes)......just could not resist!It’s been a long while since I’ve found a drama good enough to rearrange my top 10 and this will defitnily be there.
Have to admit our FL was great in her other dramas but this one just gone and took the cake for me!
She seem so much more beautiful and grown up here with just about everything on point with her acting..Amazing enough that I’ve now put her on my top actress List.
Our ML just oozed sex appeal and a far cry from your normal boss leads that sometimes hurt or manipulate to be with FL.
I like a little a bit of obsession & jelousy from my male leads and he just acted out one that was in control, manly, sexy with so much chemistry with FL without being cruel at all.
Their relationship seems so Matured
(yes.....was getting a bit withdrawn on dramas with so much love yet only settles for pecks)
& Real not to mention hilarious & fun at most parts with no cliché or over dramatic plots!
Of course all that is also mainly due to amazing writings, haven’t finish the drama yet but honestly can’t fault anything there...maybe a little less on the friend’s romance but can’t really blame the lack of interest towards them when I’m too impatient for the next scene from our leads!
Lastly i know 2 other dramas where I felt like the music contributed big time to achieving most of the feels in romance for me and this one is the same.
Big thumbs up
Highly recommended for the Romance Lovers :)

Don’t let the ratings fool you
I don’t write reviews but I feel the comments from most viewers got me shaking my head through out this drama.Thankfully after watching a short online clip I popped in here & only read another positive review before starting this.
I wanted to leave a comment but what I wanted to say is obviously too long so I’m leaving it here in review.
First off this drama’s main genre tag is Business… why anyone would expect a housewife of 10 yrs that got cheated on then somehow developed low self esteem & had nothing to her name with a sh*tty family to have complete confidence in herself is just nonsense.
These comments about her character I feel needed to review her starting point.
It’s other tag is Life meaning it ain’t always gonna be sunshine & flowers like your regular mainstream & the people/ characters aren’t always gonna be straight or proper.
From ep 1 it’s very clear the FL is well educated & speaks fluent English…she even has a resume that indicated she had a studied background for managing before marriage.
10 yrs of no work experience is obviously understandable that she won’t get positions in this field but why is it so hard for ppl to understand that it doesn’t make a person incompetent even though her work growth is obviously bias because she is recognised early on & the fact that the ML was clearly using her so he doesn’t have to risk using anyone from the chain of corrupt ppl he was trying to push out.
And her growth in housekeeping & clients is not at all surprising since being a trophy wife of a business man that deals with perfection, luxury & company dinners & events would be a piece of cake in her hands.
As for the slow burn romance..yes it’s very slow but it’s honestly realistic.
Both leads got a lot to prove on a turning point in their lives so romance is subtle, was treaded carefully & shown through their support at work.
I didn’t feel this impacted the drama in any way negative since the business aspect was a good follow & their chemistry when they did got together was worth the wait.
Although her hesitations afterwards was a bit annoying but considering what she’s been through she can somehow be excused.
My only main complaint in this department is some of her actions with the other suitor.
Overall it’s not perfect but in but it’s actually a good watch.
****
If you only want romance this isn’t for you.
If you want that mainstream upstanding ML this may also not be for you since he ain’t perfect in the beginning…that’s for his character growth.
If you don’t have the mindset to follow a business growth venture then this definitely isn’t for you.
This drama is very enjoyable only if you are in the right mindset otherwise don’t go in expecting sunshine but hate the sun.
If you read this whole comment & you might still be interested then give it a shot.
This rating is actually a rare disappointment in MDL for me because I simply read the gother comments & feel most weren’t understanding the plot’s intensions or expecting a lot from a correctly tagged genre.
