The idea of love that anyone would want

I love this drama! I rarely write reviews because I am too lazy to type but this one had me write one. Hahahha! It's so underrated and people needs to see the beauty of this drama..

I dare not to say but this has been my biggest surprise this year. I just randomly started it without expecting anything and ended up loving it until the end. Although amnesia trope wasn't my cup of tea, it didn't last long and it's a major plot for our main leads to be together and start their "fake marriage". What I love the most is there's no breakup, no misunderstanding, no obsessive 2ML/2FL, no common and usual miscommunication between the leads/couple.. We get to see other love stories too by the 2nd and 3rd couple that I believe has its own beauty too.. It's a perfectly imperfect kind of love that anyone would love to have..

Then there are villains here, the product of time and the world they live in, they most likely to have this kind of behavior which is detestable because they thought that's how they can survive. They are annoying especially this one character who has major inferiority complex and a parttime evil snake too hahahaa. I am glad that each and everyone get what they deserved! Some has character development, but those who are purely evil has no redemption arc (yay!). That's when we should know that every actions we do has consequences that we will have later on and glad this drama gives us the better ending for these annoying characters!

I have to commend as well the beautiful sceneries that being shown whenever they are changing the scenes..

I love the FL so much!! Fei Ni on the other hand represents all girlies out there who are strong despite the trials she is experiencing. Someone who never gives up, someone who dares to laugh and cry, a kind of woman who has a beautiful heart and choses to strive more than to hate someone. Life during that time wasn't easy but it never back her down, she continually holds on to her dream and hope for a better future..

Marriage is a scary thing for me, not because of marriage itself but the person whom I am marrying.. But if it's like the ML, Fang Muyang who looks at you like you're the best thing that happens in his life, who supports you in every way he can, who protects you and never raises his voice at you, someone who wants the best for you, someone who makes you laugh at silliest things, who will dance with you at night, and is patient with you and respects your every decisions in life.. I think it will be less scary when you meet someone who is right for you.. And that's the beauty of their relationship and marriage 😊 soo beautiful and ideal that you would want one too hahahha.. Although it started as "fake" (maybe for Fei Ni hahaha), it becomes the truest and realest kind of love and marriage they deserve..

It's been a beautiful (and short T_T) journey we have here.. If you're looking for something warm and soothing drama with all the world's chaos now, this will be a sweet experience.. No angst, no unnecessary fillers, just watching the beauty of this kind of love being slow and steady, simple and meaningful, sweet and innocent..

btw, this is a retro cdrama, expect the propaganda, just glad it's minimal here and mostly at the end!

That's it. yes I am indeed a yapper! Hahaha Thanks for reading until the end^^

Disappointment

So this was a very weak drama. The plot was very poor, almost boring and I had to reshoot some scenes.
I more or less only watched because of the main couple, whom I love, they have absolutely great chemistry between them and I have to mention that unfortunately in this drama their chemistry was completely unused! Kissing scenes? They gave us almost nothing! Two or three kisses and that's it? No smoochies?
I'm disappointed that both the potential for time travel and the chemistry between the main couple were not used!
And the ending? I can't even remember if I've ever seen a worse ending.

For the plot and chemistry, this one are the best adaptation.

I actually watched this drama last year but i remember when i watched another recent adaptation that didn't meet my expectation. I declare this to be the most complete version of character development! Especially the warlord CEO, he finally feels like a person, with "humanity". The chemistry between Zhang Xuan and Chen Linmiao were great.

Zhang Xuan's nuanced performance in here gives ML enough humanity: the unintentional awkwardness when approaching FL, the deliberate display of his cloth shoes and scarf when he's smitten, and the confident stride up the steps in the final episode when he proposes, all while secretly stumbling with nervousness.

Cheng Linmiao, is a stunning beauty I recently discovered; her looks and figure are top-notch in my eyes. The styling and costumes in this drama suited her perfectly, but compared to the ML's acting and Long Xi's portrayal of Xu Bai. She stills need to catch up the acting skills.

The plot was quite well-written with no plot hole. People prefer Li Ruoxun version but personally i liked this drama since the chemistry between the leads were right to me and ML is more realistically portrayed by Zhang Xuan.

Recommended to watch.

Turns out i was mad at the two collaboration.

Okay I watched this few years ago. And I remember why i was mad at He Cong Rui-Bai Yan combo beside Ye Chong. They are not compatible since i feel they are acting in different drama. The character felt disjointed. He Congrui doesn't have the older man/older woman vibe, and Bai Yan doesn't have the younger woman/older woman vibe. The way He Congrui and Bai Yan acted together made the viewing experience somewhat uncomfortable. He Congrui seemed more like the younger one, while Bai Yan seemed more like the older one, making the whole drama feel a bit awkward.

FL is innocent, cute, naive, and romantic, while the ML has been plotting for a long time. Because he likes her, because she studies art, and because he was traumatized by her brother's death, he donated an art building and a psychology building to her school. Because she likes flowers, he bought her a refrigerator full of flowers. There's practically no drugging or a vicious female supporting character; it's just a sweet and heartwarming little story. But when the plot were good and the character are mismatch, you cannot help but imagine what if the lead characters played by someone else.

From A Perfect Ten to Pining Losers: A Masterclass in Narrative Self-Sabotage

This review reflects on the baffling trajectory of Positively Yours, a series that squanders a promising, mature premise to settle for a collection of regressive tropes and narrative inconsistencies.
What began as a refreshing 10/10 romantic comedy—focused on a professional woman navigating an accidental pregnancy with a surprisingly devoted CEO—rapidly dissolved into a 3/10 exercise in frustration. The initial charm was anchored by the lead couple's chemistry, but the story soon became weighed down by a circular firing squad of pathetic behaviour from the supporting cast.
The primary grievance lies in the total erosion of character agency. The female lead, initially presented as a capable career woman, was reduced to a "scatty" caricature who spent the middle episodes trapped in a loop of stunned silence and avoidable misunderstandings. This was compounded by a second male lead whose refusal to accept a rejection—despite the reality of the pregnancy—bordered on the deranged. Watching a "best friend" pining for this obsessive individual only added to an environment that felt devoid of common human decency and self-respect.
The corporate subplot involving the sister-in-law was equally egregious. After fifteen years of psychological torment and criminal sabotage, the narrative attempted to resolve the conflict with a perfunctory two-minute apology. By allowing villains and corrupt directors to avoid meaningful accountability, the show promotes a backward moral message: that biological ties excuse any level of toxicity.
Ultimately, the production prioritises melodramatic "rage-bait" over logical storytelling. It is a disappointing example of modern television that trades intellectual honesty for a syrupy, unearned finale. While the high production values and early episodes offer a glimpse of what could have been, the final result is a hollow template of a drama that treats its audience with a staggering lack of regard.

Horrendous!

Well, this drama makes my blood boils

I watched this last year and i know this is Bai Yan-Zhang Bei Xi version. Xie Yu Wang and Liu Lange delivers their role perfectly. The plot was not perfect from the start but the emotional depth in main character this drama is far more better than the first version. ML and FL aren't perfect and have flaws. I wont recommend this drama unless you're fans of the actors.

Liu Lange is quite pretty good actress, but the dramas she chooses aren't very good. In this drama, all I can say is that the FL has good heart is a disease, but she's incurable, so she gets hurt in various ways. The drama starts with the ML's affair with his ex-girlfriend, and FL is beaten by her father. What I found different from the usual formula was that FL's arguments were all on point; every word she uttered was effective, not just mindless taunting. ML in this version really have no boundaries and i think FL was more wise in this version.

FL was injured, but ML didn't intervene. This was mainly because the two families had a business cooperative relationship, making it difficult to directly punish the sister-in-law. Furthermore, punishing her might implicate FL. Therefore, ML used a rather extreme method: he personally intervened, using photos as leverage against the sister-in-law. Personally, I think this was perfectly acceptable. As a result, the sister-in-law didn't cause any further trouble for the FL.

When FL gets pregnant right after their marriage, she tells ML they should live a good life together, but he tells her to abort the child. Later, ML explains that it's because they have no feelings for each other and he doesn't want to have the child, but this explanation feels weak.

I think there should have been more build-up about ML to his feelings for the FL. Some misunderstandings were indeed influenced by external factors, not by the ML's own inner turmoil, so they were somewhat understandable. The ending is the divorce followed by a proposal felt a bit rushed. At least there would have been a courtship process; that would have made the viewing experience much better. My ideal ending in this drama were the leads are not back together, it would be on my recommended drama.

Our floor is haunted, so what?

This second third (episode 9) has a much more grittier vibe than the first 8 episodes. It has a spooky dimension to it but it has not let go of its comedic roots. We are introduced to Dao and Arthit’s lives in greater detail, with new characters being visible in both their lives. Side note; I think this is the first time I have seen a main character have 2 dad’s, I might be wrong, I think I have watched a BL were the main character has 2 moms so yay! More representation! It also ties in nicely with what was discussed in episode 8. Anyway, to avoid adding more spoilers, I am just going to say the first episode was a hit and I am looking forward to seeing how the story develops!

Great start - But going downline

I have seen all the 9 episodes. It started well for 4-5 episodes. But the track is going very bad.
First FL character is very poorly written. Both ML and SML should have not confessed to her so early. Even after that she did not maintain a distance between any of them or made them clear.. She often says ML as family even after he confessed his love. Does she know the meaning of it... It portrays her as two timer and very calculative... Consecutive scenes shows that she is falling for both of ML and SML.... She has been portrayed as very dumb and careless. I dont think the present women are very childish. Come On...
ML has been shown as very hopeless lover. Trying to find fault himself in every matter which is fair enough, initially he has been shown as very brave but the further incidents made him to victimise himself. He takes care of the kid very well and his career, The decision which he takes at epi - 9 is also justifiable. His character is well written till now.
I dont find any fault in SML since he is very clear. He liked her from the beginning , so he tries all his ways to get acquainted with her.. And the hero of the series- kid is very cute..
ML and the Kid are the reasons to watch this show.. It would be good if the FL stops admiring both and find her true love and come back to him... Not the other way round as he running to her...Till then let her stop saying him as Family.. It looks so pathetic and does nt make sense..
Drama lost its potential due the FL's extremely poor character arc... Rest all is fine...
