High Highs, Boring Lows
The beginning of this drama is hilarious. I found there to be a lot of laugh out loud moments but I was also VERY confused. I'm not sure if that's due to poor translation but I was also confused by the way they acted towards each other.
It seemed like they both like each other but I guess she didn't fall for him right away like I had thought(?), she just wanted to have a baby with him (?). Although I'm still confused why he kept denying her when he was clearly jealous of Simon...
I found the constant back and forth of feelings for each other to be exhausting. One minute Rui is trying to break off the contract, the next minute he's jealous of Simon. Jealous enough to ask her for them into the apartment but won't sleep in the same room with her. Then there's Fang Ning who sometimes appears to have feeling for Rui but then other times only seems to want to have his baby. It's a bit annoying trying to keep up with their seemingly every changing thoughts/feelings. Which thread am I supposed to follow here? ?
Then came Episode 13 which made me want to cry for Fang Ning. "I feel insecure everyday... I hate you" That whole scene feels so raw.
I was really bored with the Fang Ning business drama. To me it seemed incredibly reaching. The guy became her assistant for 3 years because he blames her for her sister’s death..??? At this point I was holding onto this drama by a tiny thread.
Then came the SIX YEAR jump. (I hate time jumps in general) Luckily, the story does seem to pick up a bit between Rui and Fang Ning but the side story for Tang Ping is dreadfully boring. Simon and Cai Si Yu are pretty cute though...
Overall I liked Rui and Fang Ning as a couple and the actors have great chemistry delivering some adorable and laugh out loud moments but the lows were just too low for me.
Would I Recommend? There are better romances out there
Would I Re-Watch? No.
