Very light-hearted and sweet story!
First of all, I gave a really high rating which I have never done before, because it's super good and worth watching! I truly enjoyed the entire plot and it wasn't boring throughout! It kept me on my toes as I was super excited and looking forward to every episode! I would say this is the first drama that had made me so hooked into it and I have never felt bored or felt as though there were draggy scenes or unnecessary filters! It all fell into place, I would say!
Moving on, I'm going to talk about the plot and I find it very interesting when I came across it on YouTube. Two different people of different characters and personality collide and fell in love. Like what they say, opposite attracts! And although they were in a typical contractual marriage which is often seen in most dramas, but it turned out really well and unique! They may have typical rivals but it is what made them firmly believe in their love for each other and deeply trust in each other!
Male lead is a cold, emotionless, prodigy professor. His major is statistics if I'm not wrong! He comes off cold at first, but eventually warmed up to the female lead! And, he's super duper nice and always helps the fl whenever she encounters trouble. Most guys would be impatient if they have to handle someone like the fl, but he's the exact opposite and that's what makes them compliment each other!
Female lead is a very optimistic, bubbly, gullible university student and though she may be clumsy and makes trouble sometimes, often giving viewers second-hand embarrassment due to her actions, but she gradually turned into very mature and able to make her own decisions! And most importantly, she trusts the ml wholeheartedly and openly communicates with him which makes them have not much issues!
They may have certain misunderstandings of course, but it is usually cleared up very quickly which is really great and more realistic irl!
Side couples doesn't interfere with the main couple and they have their own fluttering love stories which seems to encounter more love hurdles than the main couple lol.
Basically, the fl's elder sister is in rs with ml's best friend, so imagine them giving each other advices, the interactions between ml and his best friend is more funny lol. And then we have fl's best friend and her other male best friend who are on and off together. But the fl's best friend gives really great relationship advice!
As for the rivals, the first male rival made ml more jealous and more aware of his feelings for fl. Eventually, he took up the courage to confess to her, accompanied by a sweet little kiss which I had been waiting since forever! And also, can I just say how unique it is that a report is generated to test if ml loves fl lol. It's very interesting!
For the next female rival, it didn't felt more like a rival as this time the ml and fl are true to each other and love each other. The fl trusts ml a lot and they are basically impossible to be separated. Their love stayed strong throughout.
For both rivals, they eventually respected the couple's decision to stick together and gave them their blessings in order to see them happy. Really like their mature thinking.
Okay, let's not forget the funny and lovable grandpa who made this relationship happen! If not for him, this contractual marriage wouldn't have happened and this love between them wouldn't have developed! This grandpa is my favorite character after the main leads!
Production doesn't seem low cost as it mostly revolves around the campus, the house and fl's different workplaces. Music is not bad, just a few soundtracks which were kind of blocked by YouTube so i can't really get so engrossed in the songs. Can't complain since I saw the comments and this issue persisted in most platforms.
Outfits for the fl is very limited and repetitive, but it shows the realistic financial situation of her as she is supposed to be poor. Ml has more variations but he wear suits more often, so imagine him looking so hot even with or without his glasses! sorry fangirl moment right here. I think the side couples had more outfits than the fl, but that's because their financial situation is better than her so it's more realistic this way.
Acting for fl is a natural even though she may be a rookie but she portrayed a university student really well. As for ml, he's an experienced actor and he was really smooth too. The entire interactions between them were meant to be awkward and they acted the scenes really well haha. Side couples acting are good too, so it's a bonus.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch something to kill your boredom or haven't gotten over an old drama as this drama, though it might let you be invested, but it's definitely more light-hearted with no typical breakups, divorces or sad endings.
And of course, I would definitely watch it again 'cos I love this drama so much myself. After this drama, mr zhang definitely raised my standards for a perfect husband lol. But, this kind of man is pretty much inexistent *cries*
