Secret Story line.. what could go wrong?

I actually liked the first half the series. I found it very cute and very typical rom-com C drama. I’m okay with cheesy story lines and typical troupes, that’s the reason why I watch C dramas.

I had a problem with the secret storyline that is basically the issue throughout the show. So, this is your typical engagement contract storyline because the ML doesn’t want to hurt his grandma’s feelings. He’s a rich CEO and she’s the desperate, pretty poor girl that needs money for her sick mom.

BUT, he thinks she is her evil twin sister! Why would that even be a storyline? The ML doesn’t have any relationship with the evil twin, but because he thinks it’s her, the FL can’t tell him the truth. This has to be the most far-fetched plot device I have seen in a C drama. This basically killed it for me for the second half of the drama.

The angst, drama and misunderstandings where ALL thrown at you. You got the crazy ex that comes back into the ML life, you got the second male lead that added fun tension for a hot min. I did sort of liked the second couple, but I couldn’t connect with them as much as I wanted.

I do like that the leads were very pretty, but Lin Xin Yi is a baby at 23 and has a baby face, it was hard to see her make out with the ML because she just looks like a child to me. I do appreciate that they try to make her grown up with her costume, it was a little more mature and actually tasteful. I didn’t mind when she had to reuse her outfits.

Luo Zheng is very nice eye candy and you can’t help but be captivated by his presence on screen. I do hope he picks more than just rom-coms because I haven’t seen him in a serious role. I want to see his acting range a little wider. At 26, he also has a baby-face too. Maybe this drama is just to be baby-faces? I expected a more mature cast for the office troupe. But that’s me.

Overall, the drama past the time and it was easy to watch in the beginning. If you like the cast, then it’s worth watching, but if you are looking for a low angst rom-com, this isn’t it.
