Entertaining & not as cliche as expected
Just to get it out of the way, yes the writing is pretty bad, but most of the time it's not annoying.
Yes, it's weird that the amnesia thing happens twice, but I was not annoyed by that very much at all. The problem is not the second amnesia itself, but rather how ML acts for a while after it happened. A rational person would not turn so hostile to a woman that claims to be his girlfriend. Do verify before burning all the bridges, right? In the second half of the drama there is a lot of on and off dating/ will they, won't they stuff, however it was quite entertaining most of the time, except shortly after the aforementioned second amnesia and episode 20 was just a horrible horrible episode, with a recycled plot used in an intelligence insulting way. Yeah sure there is also quite a bit of noble reason bullshit as well, but overall I think it's acceptable.
The love triangles are weak and almost entertaining & end in a timely manner. The writer did a great job in this regard, triangle haters can safely watch this.
I'm not a fan of "Eden" Zhao, but this is by far his best performance that i've seen. (okay, he was good in Le Coup de Foudre as well) As for FL I've seen her in The Untamed and she was far better here, especially in the second half of the drama, she had some very amusing facial expressions and had great chemistry with Zhao.
The story may be bad, but the comedy is really on point throughout the drama. The side couples are not that special or anything, but there is nothing much to hate about them really. The fluff is good, at least whenever we are in the "on" phase.
People in the comment section complained about the cause of the amnesia being really stupid. I think it was not bad at all, it's nicely explained & it's not COMPLETELY unreasonable by cdrama logic standards. It's far better than let's say being allergic to one's own tears.
The OST is bad, but most of the time it's just unnoticeable. There is some weird Christmas music there, but not too much, it's not the most offensive OST that I've heard.
Yes the early episodes are very Secretary Kim-like, but is that really a bad thing? I think not. The second half of the drama is substantially different.
TLDR: This is a VERY entertaining romCOM, with some minor & not so minor frustrations.
