Ridiculous storyline with needless dramatic twists
Primary Romance: 2
Secondary Romance: 8
I'm going to start by saying I found the title ironic. Literally halfway through I forgot the name of the series and had to check my youtube history to remind me of what I was watching. I'm stubborn and so was determined to finish it.
The only positive to this tale is the secondary romance between a secretary and her boss. There is a lot of lively banter that is enacted perfectly and is highly entertaining. Some mistakes are made in the way they handle the relationship by both of them but their sincerity and how perfectly right they are for each other shone through everything. I kept watching mainly for them.
I started this series because I enjoy the bubbly, sweet energy actress Hu Yi Xuan brings to her roles. I thought for sure her pairing with the adorable Lennon Sun and the handsomely, aloof seeming Wei Zhe Ming would create a funny but poignant tale of love. It didn't.
The first episode wasn't bad. There were your typical misunderstandings as the hero and heroine find themselves unexpectedly thrust into each other's lives, this time via a young boy who has some psychological issues due to trauma in his past. That would have been all well and good except that this massive plot point - the boy's issues - is treated in such a slap-dash manner it is whiplash-inducing. Hu Yi Xuan Qin Yi Yue is a wholly unprofessional doctor. Anyone associated with mental health will tell you consistency is one of the aspects most needed by the patient and yet she was all over the place in the role she played in the young boy's life. Sometimes she put him first, and others he just disappeared from the plot as she dealt with the inevitable love quadrangle that appears in every C-drama. Moreover, not only did she not act like a child psychologist but who in the world tells a four to seven-year-old (I could never figure out his age) that you will give them anything they want and swears by that? What if he had asked for the moon or a dinosaur? As a professional child psychologist, her training should have kicked in and helped her phrase that better.
The romance was equally weird. Most of the time ML and FL acted like they sincerely didn't like each other. They sure as heck didn't understand each other. This was the first drama where I wanted the leads to fall for the secondary love interests. The plot also revolved around a mystery whose resolution literally came out of nowhere - the people involved had never been mentioned in the drama. Overall, this was just dissatisfying.
