Train Wreck
Endured this to the very end. Despite reading the reviews I kinda hoped that my incessant love for cdrama crazy would win over a bad script. Not to be. This show has all the typical pathetic tropes. Childish FL, dressed, scripted and directed to act the part. The other wonen dressed like ladies. The evil SFL’s who have no part except to behave like narcissistic snakes the entire show, while projecting the results of their choices onto everyone else. ML acting like a narcissistic fool wanting her confession to come first or else we get petulance. Girls running off, believing the first thing someone says on site. Never giving the guys chance to explain. The script is like it was written by a teenager. And then it goes all over the place and drags to the point you’ll skip the last 8-10 episodes for your own sanity.Heres the reason this show got any stars at all:
1) Director (the star of the show for me
2) ML mom was a queen. In a show packed of horrendous tropes they did one thing right.
3) ML bestie. Such a cutie and for the most part the sensible one in the cast.

a VERY easy watch
It is indeed a very easy watch and also a very cliche and cringey watch actually. But that's the point right. It's a easy watch because it is cliche. It would be a very perfect watch for you, if you are looking for an easy and happy dramas. Very light, no heavy conflict, and it's only 20-30 minutes per episodes. It also has a fine looking actress and actor, both of them are really cute. But since i've already gone older, this kind of drama is really making me cringe so much to the point i have to wait until an hour or so to move on to the next episodes. But if you are a beginner in dramas world, this is a really perfect watch for you.Was this review helpful to you?
Story - 8/10: I feel like the summary provided is a little misleading. Xiao Nuan did not get hired to pretend to like Mo Fei. It's a little more complicated than that so you should watch it yourself to see what happens; I don't want to spoil it for you :) The story is a little like that cliche of rich man, poor woman so if you like those kinds of plots, it's definitely recommended. There's a lot of components in here that is not typical in regular dramas. For example, there's no love triangle and the rich mom does not go against the poor girl. The reason I dropped this series is because the pacing of the "getting to know each other" is too slow for my liking. Even after 15 episodes, Mo Fei is still mean to Xiao Nuan, even if he didn't mean it. It just feels frustrating that he can't express his feelings in a nicer way even after watching 15 episodes. If you can be tolerant to that, I definitely encourage you to watch!
Acting/Cast - 10/10: I feel like Lawrence Wong was fit for his role. He does look really cold and has this stern expression on his face but he is indeed warm-hearted. As for Xu Has, she is cute and lovable. I have heard everyone in the comments saying how she is perfect, unlike really skinny girl leads that other series have (which I totally agree with). I also have to point out that her outfits are always beautiful. It's so stylish that I have to applaud the stylist for doing such a good job. Although, the drama portrays her a poor but she tends to dress a lot better than average people...
Music - 10/10: When I first heard the music, I was in love. The theme song played and the first impression I got was that the drama was going to be sweet and refreshing. If you watch it on Youtube, some bits of the audio is cut off in every episode and I believe that is because they want to avoid copyright reasons. That is why I have not heard all of the OSTs but the ones that are still played are very beautiful.
Rewatch Value - 7/10: This section is probably explanatory. I dropped it and it is unlikely that I'll watch it again but if I do feel like it, I will definitely give it another chance.
The series didn't grab my attention enough. I didn't stay for the whole ride but I am sure that there are people who would enjoy it! (I've also heard that things get a lot worse near the end but you should read other reviews from people who have watched the whole thing!)

Before i started watching this drama, my hunch said the plot might be same like "midsummer is full of love drama" and lol it was true guys but this one is much bettter. But this one didnt have many toxicity people to strain the main lead compared to that drama. The things i dislike about this drama which very obvious:-
-The common cliche plot like male lead's mom set up a plan to find girls for him. By far the female lead had permission to do anything (like break in his house) to fulfill his mom's requests. But the female lead has mentioned that she will never do smth against her dignity (ok what???) except for this matter bcs of money. Ok I totally started this iss sooooo not common sense at all bcs why engaged yourself in this risky situation meanwhile you can find other jobs regardless of it gives small payment.
-Another thing is the male lead has an illness but never mention in details about his disease. At last he suffered so much till he had to refuse the female lead as his life partner bcs he afraid he'll not survive (this one im not sure) LOL too much cliche right urgh.
-This drama can fantasize people's mind but the reality will never ever happen ok! Someone should tag "fantasy" lmao but the actual meaning fantasy for general matter is smth involve with superpower, extraordinary people etc. Hm ok.
One character i like the most is male lead's mom. Gosh she was cool, swag bcs she didnt have ill intention to ruin relationship of main lead. Instead, she helped a lot almost everything i think. I know it was a bad idea letting the FL break in male lead's house at first, but at least he had someone to take care of himself due to his weak antibody.
This is reason why i rejected earlier to watch some chinese modern series bcs it tends to drag the storyline and it becomes more ridiculous, villains have more authority to push down the main lead lmao. Well historical much more ok i think.
Oh btw i finished watching this drama by skipping a lot of eps, sorry i cant bear with the unnnecessary parts which no need to inculde in this drama

If you're like me and can't stand it when there's too many cliche things and dumb plot lines then skip it. If you're like everyone else here who can somehow stand the random flowers and rainbows the drama shoves down your throat, go ahead and watch~ But I gotta say the ML is super hot and actually kinda cool in the first few episodes,, and the FL is cute and quirky,, it's why I watched 11 episodes and then quit...
By cliche scenes, I mean when the ML keeps picking up the FL bride and groom style all the time for no reason, is too over-protective, always saves the day etc etc. FL sometimes takes her own stand but its not enough. Better than some others I've seen though, especially the first quarter was good. I like the whistling ost in the beginning too~

Rom-Com sympa et bien jouée (assez fraiche) malgré les "grosses ficelles" du script
I started this drama because I wanted something cute and easy to watch.STORY:
Encounter between a cold CEO, forced to cohabit with a poor actress. She was recruited by his mother because she looks like the CEO's ex. She will turn out to be (undoubtedly) the girl who saved him ten years ago and whom he was in vain looking for.
He decides to give her a chance to make a career thanks to the resources deployed by his group.
The storyline is quite classic, and at the beginning, I had an "déjà vu" feeling. But the themes are approached from a new angle (resemblance, independence, love vs. career, etc.).
Some coincidences are a little too obvious for us to fully embrace the story, but we can nod along thanks to the talent of the actors.
TECHNICAL:
Excellent casting for this rom-com. The CL is very cute and the chemistry is palpable. The relationship is built slowly (VERY) slowly, and Western viewers want to slap the hesitant, stuck, overly cautious ML. What is pleasant is the mutual trust and the absence of doubt about their reciprocal love. We are (alas) forced to go through clichés [1/ cancer 2/ I'm leaving you to protect you] , but it doesn't last too long.
The secondary actors are also excellent. The main secondary characters are well developed and the side romances too. I really liked the character of the mother, clever, mischievous, who protects her son. However, their relationship doesn't seem to be very affectionate (which doesn't make sense).
The production is dynamic, not too many flashbacks, not too many slow motion scenes. Good !
The OSTs are not memorable, but well adapted to the different emotions.
Nothing special about the framing: we can see some pretty landscapes, but the aesthetics of this drama will not be memorable.
CONCLUSION
Nice despite the obvious tricks and "dramaland" coincidences!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
J'ai commencé ce drama parce que j'avais envie de quelque chose de mignon et qui ne "prend pas la tête".
STORY :
Rencontre entre un cold CEO, forcé de cohabiter avec une actrice "don du ciel", recrutée par la mère car elle ressemble à l'ex du CEO. Elle se révèlera être (sans doute) la fille qui l'a sauvé des années auparavant et qu'il cherchait en vain.
Il décide de lui donner la chance de faire carrière grâce aux ressources déployées par son groupe.
La storyline est assez classique, et au début, j'ai eu l'impression de "déjà vu". Mais les thèmes sont abordés sous un nouvel angle (ressemblance, indépendance, love vs carrière, etc.).
Certaines coïncidences sont un peu trop flagrantes pour que l'on puisse adhérer totalement à l'histoire, mais on peut se laisser prendre au jeu grâce au talent des acteurs.
TECHNIQUE :
Excellent casting pour cette rom-com. Le CL est très cute et l'alchimie passe bien. La relation se construit lentement (TRÈS) lentement, et les spectateurs occidentaux ont envie de donner des baffes au ML, hésitant, coincé, prudent à l'excès. Ce qui est agréable, c'est la confiance mutuelle et l'absence de doute sur leur amour réciproque. On a (hélas) droit aux clichés 1/ cancer 2/je te quitte pour te protéger, mais cela ne dure pas trop longtemps.
Les acteurs secondaires sont excellents. Les principaux personnages secondaires sont bien développés et les romances annexes aussi. J'ai beaucoup aimé le personnage de la mère, futée, maligne, qui protège son fils. Cependant, leur relation n'a pas l'air d'être très affectueuse (ce qui n'est pas logique).
La réalisation est dynamique, pas trop de flashbacks, pas trop de scènes de ralenti. Bien !
Les OST ne sont pas mémorables, mais bien adaptées aux différentes atmosphères.
Rien de particulier sur le cadrage : on a droit à quelques jolis paysages, mais l'esthétique de ce drama ne sera pas mémorable.
CONCLUSION
Sympa malgré les grosses ficelles !

Clichê leve e engraçado
Eu realmente gostei muito drama, apesar de ser bem clichê. Achei bem leve e engraçado. A química dos protagonistas é ótima e até os personagens secundários tem histórias ótimas também. Este foi o primeiro drama que eu assisti em que a mãe do protagonista é super a favor do relacionamento do filho com uma garota que não é rica. Isso me ganhou de cara, aí eu percebi que o drama já entraria na minha lista de favoritos. Meu único ponto negativo é que achei o final muito corrido, mas nada que tire o encanto do drama.Se você quer dar boas risada e não se importa com o enredo repetido, este é um bom drama para você assistir.
