definitely worth the watch!!!

The cast is great, FL (Zhou Yutong) has got to be one of the most alluring actresses I have ever seen. She is superb at her job and I think she single-handedly carried the show. 2nd FL is also very cute and charming, wish there were more scenes of her. ML's acting is slightly more rigid but I gotta say it's a big improvement from his previous drama 'love equations' or maybe this role suits him much more. The couple has very good chemistry which made their scenes extra cute but fair warning it does get overly cringey at times. Also, the child actor is so talented and soooo cute!!! I don't like children but his scenes with his parents made me coo so hard.

SPOILER !!!!!!!!!

The only reason why I didn't give a 10 is because of the plot. I get it, it's the cliche contractual marriage, fall in love with each other and the most cliche of all, silently sacrifice for one another cos of miscommunication. I am okay with all that but once we get to the post-divorce episodes, the plot became an unconnected ridiculous mess. They don't show us the character development at all. Suddenly the cold hotshot 2nd ML becomes a gooey mess and chases the 2nd FL. How does this just happen?? I was rooting for this couple until it gets so overly cringey. The poor dude had a crush for 10 years and suddenly his cold shell just broke overnight?? 2nd FL was not shocked at all to see him at the doorstep after not talking for 6 years?? This is just not realistic and I could tell the writer probably didn't bother to tie these loose ends and just wanna dive right into saving the main couple. I really liked the 2nd couple but I dropped them here when the dude got a personality transformation. However, I'm contented at the way the main couple patched things up with love gestures and communication. The ending was satisfying and there was closure for all issues but they really could try harder for the antagonist. He just suddenly has an epiphany and all is forgiven?? He stole a company for god sake but ok lol this is a romcom so I'll just ignore it.
