Good Luck!

A cute short drama to maybe watch when seriously bored.

Plot- High school classmates Ning Sui and Gu Shen meet later as adults after a time apart. With Gu Shen being the stereotype ML, successful professionally and financially but awkward, traumatized and closed off socially. Ning Sui being the stereotype FL, cute, feisty, working her way up the ladder, tries not acknowledging her feelings for ML which she eventually does just like a lightbulb switch in her head.

Contractual marriage theme is one of my favorite storylines in the drama world. There will be always hits and misses. A Love Journal was more than a miss. It was completely the wrong coordinates; trajectory was the opposite direction, maybe even the wrong planet.

I just can't fathom what it would take for all that staff, cast and crew to air this calamity. It's quite obvious that the main couple and even their supports are all very green, not much experience. I honestly feel like they all watched other tv dramas with a similar script and then tried to imitate that instead. It doesn't matter how many steamy kiss scenes you add to it.

What I despise the most is a drama that has a tremendous lack of logic on top of too many loopholes in their storyline. It gives me a headache. I know it's not supposed to be an award-winning drama but if you want people to actually watch it then you actually have to provide tv that people would actually want to watch.
Being a mini drama should not be an excuse or a reason as to why a drama is bad. Rewatch Value - 0.0/10.
