Light and Heart Felt Drama

This is one of the Chinese dramas where I wished I would've watched it when it was airing. I'm always hesitant on watching C-dramas when it's airing because the writers can mess up a little after the halfway point and towards the last few episodes with problems after problems and countless of misunderstandings. I'm just not fond of that. That being said this drama didn't do that at all.

It is a contract love drama but handled so differently as in no one bullies each other. If you like a smart & nerdy, but not so smart when it comes to love, male lead and a not so smart but warm hearted female lead, you'll love this drama. In fact, a lot of dramas where the ML is smart & nerdy I usually enjoy, because they are so funny when it comes to love. At first the FL falls for the ML, but once the ML finally falls for the FL, their chemistry is out of the park. You just love every scene the leads are in and their relationship goes at a good pace too. I also appreciate the multiple kiss scenes.

Misunderstandings in this drama? Yes they do occur in this drama but it's not dragged out. It's usually solved in the same episode or by the next and it's not bad at all.

The love rivals are not the secondary leads which is great. The only love rival who got a bit annoying was the female love rival, Chu Chu but trust me, I've seen worst. She didn't give me a headache like other love rivals does, especially the evil ones in a lot of C-dramas. The male love rival Meng Ran was actually okay considering he did support the leads after failing to grasp the love of the FL.

Issues I have with the drama:
- Surprisingly, our secondary couple & third couple ends up having problems towards the end of the drama, which usually happens to our main couple. This isn't as big of a deal for me because our main couple isn't affected but I can't not say it didn't bother me.
- The issue of Zhi Yi & Gu Xiao was never resolved. Honestly, they did Gu Xiao dirty. Though he was a minor character, he didn't deserve to be treated like that. He was a decent guy. Even if the writers wanted Zhi Yi to be with Lin Nuo, this misunderstanding between Zhi & Gu Xiao should've been resolved but instead writers brushed it off like nothing happen. Not cool at all.
- Not a lot of screen time and relationship development for our secondary leads. Though, I did like their scenes together, I needed more to connect with them but this drama didn't deliver on that part.

Despite all of that, I'm still gonna give it a high score, just the fact that the writers handled our main leads pretty well, no draggy misunderstandings, no evil characters, and no last minute issues for our main couple. I enjoy every episode of this drama.
