"it's ordinary, but happy."

It's nothing you've never seen in dramas before. This drama is simply a hoard of classic drama tropes: competent rich man (who is self made, but rich nonetheless) falling in love with your very ordinary girl, asks her to get married because he's been devotedly in love with the girl who is his highschool crush. It's dejavu all around for you audience!

YET, this drama doesn't waste time focusing on those tropes. Those tropes are just garnish to the real story: tu xiaoning and ji yuheng navigating their life together as an instant married couple. They stroll along the conflicts, resolved it without the usual heap of misunderstanding(tm) you often see in asian dramas. Yes, the conflicts end with satisfying result for our characters, but at least it shows them persevere (with very slight blood, sweat and tears) to reach it.

The second and third leading couples are also fun to watch to the point they ALMOST overshadow the 'ordinary' story of the leads.

It's a good comfort watch. Even audience with zero patience like me want to get through till the end (in 3x speed, that is). I recommend binging it in one day.
