Still wondering how the leads even fell for each other

A typical cliche contract relationship story between an idol and a normal girl with only new thing is the ALS disease. Plot is predictable as this type of concepts isn't even knew but what make the viewers want to watch a drama with a similar concept is how they execute it, which in this case just lacks.


ML for the first 14ish episode is just a childish, impulsive, bossy 27yr old guy, who knew nothing but to act jealous. His attitude was so ridiculous that I wondered how the FL even fell for him. The whole premise which leads to the start of their contract relationship was unbelievable and ridiculous. The ML wanted to talk to the FL about something and asked for her address despite knowing that she was drunk. Then the same guy who knew that media was after him, roamed around the restaurant ( and throughout the whole drama without a mask, cap, shades to hide himself) to the female lead in bare face and then took her to a hotel. My question was why? Just why? Even when they were running together after the very first encounter dude was barefaced and to top it off holding her hand. Really?? What the need of that? It seemed like the director didn't have a way to get them together so used this ridiculous ways instead.


FL was a bubbly, cute and optimistic girl who was trying to live in the present before she dies cause of her illness. She is ML's die hard fan and cares a lot about him. Everything is fine untill the FL decides to help the ML while pretending to be his girlfriend when he made it look like the leak of their pics were her fault when she was the one who was drunk and that guys was literally roaming around the place barefaced. And the FL said yes. I mean you are living a normal peaceful life and have your own dreams, why would you even suddenly want to destroy your peace and get engaged with a celebrity and expose yourself in front of the media just to make your like more complicated. If that isn't dumb then idk what is when it was clearly shown that although the FL wasn't rich but wasn't poor either and there wasn't any emergency financial need. And let's not forget how pathetic she was when the ML bossed her around, made her his maid, manipulated her, fooled her, destroyed her plans while she herself was annoying as hell still they somehow fell for eachother. That's the question all along How?


2ML and FL was straight up and annoying and the 2FL was those obsessive ex's who can't get over a man and can't take no for an answer. I skipped their parts till the end and trust me you'll save your time and won't miss a thing.

Side couples were annoying as hell too so skipped.

Only likeable character was the manager mr bao of the ML as sometimes he made me laugh but thats it.

The story completely flipped with the OTP couple when they got together as the ML suddenly became a whole husband material and as for the FL she was in love with him from start to end. Trust me there was no chemistry between them.

Then atlast as usual everyone became friends again and the drama ended.

The OST was bland in comparison with the fact that the drama was based on an idol who is a singer and songwriter so expected better OST's.

I don't recommend this drama as I've skipped everyone except the leads and even they were annoying and as usual the FL was a doormat.
