So funny up to episode 10

Another biased review from me to you.

This is chock full of spoilers so read at your own risk.

Episodes 1-10:
This little bit of light fluff is so damn funny! I watched each ~5 minute episode (skipping the intro/credits) with a goofy grin on my face. The premise is good, the execution is excellent! Guan Yue is delicious as the serious CEO and the sexy hallucination. I really love how he portrays both versions! Lin Xiaozhai is so funny as the girl with the very overactive and sexy imagination.

Lots of tropes here to cross off the list but they don't distract. Does anyone have a trope bingo card?

This one is for inhaling like a bit of cotton candy. Very satisfying even if not very filling.

Episode 11, omg the silk pajamas a fluffy coat! I thought it was another hallucination! And running hand-in-hand in a tux/wedding dress....whose hallucination was that? I think it was his!

Episode 12, well he moves fast, doesn't he?

Some of these machine-generated subs are unintentionally very funny!

I really wish the YoYo English channel would translate text messages too

Episode 13, well damn, it started out so good, why did they have to add the dark history/drunk dad to the mix. Couldn't they have left it light and fluffy? I may be taking some stars off of this, we'll wait and see.

And episode 14 we're back to light and fluffy. I don't quite understand this show but I am enjoying it ?

Episode 15, why are they hiking in the mountains? What did I miss? Since she stopped having the hallucinations this isn't as much fun ?

Episode 16, well that's one way to avoid the parents! LOL! She is serious about not wanting to get married isn't she.

Episode 17, oh here comes the evil dude. You know he's evil because of the really bad hair ?

Episode 18, it's cute how ML is the one who wants to hold out until marriage but the FL wants to go for it. hmm, upcoming angst ahead

Episode 19, not really feeling the SFL and SML. Seems like a really weird match

Episode 20 is just sad. All the fun and joy has gone out of this completely. I'm going to have to struggle to finish the last few episodes. I want to go back to the hilarious hallucinations!

Episode 21 SML is pretty darn funny in a little boy psychotic way. ML and FL are just boring now. At least this episode is even shorter at around 8 minutes.

Episode 22, now it's all about the SML and SFL, and they are the most noncompatible boring couple that just got thrown together for what, they ran out of ideas? Trying to slog through these last 2 episodes, just cause I hate leaving something undone. Holy fuck, what a really awful 'joke' to pull on your son. 'you can't date, she's your sister'. And I don't get the story line, the parents are her pen pals? wtf did I miss there? Wait, and now he's leaving for 2 years for some reason, no idea why, and she is looking for another job? How are they going to wrap this up in one episode? Do I really care?

Episode 23, final episode. What can I say? This started out so fun and then just got depressing. I was loving it so much I started a episode by episode review so I wouldn't forget all the LOL moments. Damn shame. Did he leave for 2 years? Did she get that other job? No idea. And my cliche bingo card was full with the ML growing up in an orphanage and then the FL getting kidnapped. Too bad they couldn't throw in an accident with some amnesia too. I suppose it had a happy ending, so there is that. And I did smile at the very end with the whole kidnapping/shotgun wedding bit.
