Good chemistry
Firstly, the leads are good looking, especially the male lead.Secondly, the characters of the 2 leads are loveable. You will not hate their characters. The only issue I hate is the voice used to dub the female lead’s voice. It made her voice sounded like a little girl.
Besides the cliche story line about arranged marriage, there are a few plot holes such as the male lead being a heart doctor is everywhere even in the ER and cancer department. Like what is his actual specialisation in the hospital. Also, the female lead did not recognise her fiancé despite having met him when they were young. They even went to the same school.

**There are no ogres, witches, evil stepmothers, curses, or other assorted evil characters in this fairy tale.
Story: This drama doesn't win prizes for plot. It's about two rich, beautiful people who fall in love with each other. But I think there are a couple things that this drama gets right:
- Our prince and princess fall in love relatively early on in the drama, so that means a lot of this drama plays out during their actual relationship. This is quite rare in drama land, and I love it!
- No love triangle. So refreshing. We don't have to suffer through episodes of the female lead torn between the male lead and the second male lead, while the audience cries buckets for the second male lead along the way.
- A female lead that actually knows who she likes and goes after it! Can I emphasize how rare this is? When was the last time you found a female lead in drama land who was like, "I want him, get all these other second male leads out of my way!" and literally chases down her guy? The last drama I watched with this concept was Novoland II.
- A female lead who is pretty and knows it. I can't stand drama land tropes that cast pretty actresses and then cover them up as Ugly Ducklings so that somehow the male lead discovers her "inner beauty" and falls in love. When does that ever happen in real life? This drama is super real in that sense - part of the reason why the male lead fell for her so fast was because she's very, very pretty.
- Supportive female friendships. The bond between the female lead and her agent was such a power couple. Her agent absolutely kills it as the female lead's staunchest supporter both in life and in work. Some viewers might roll their eyes at the female lead for the way she treated her sister-in-law as well as Gao Zitong, but I thought the female lead showed high EQ and maturity in the way she handled those relationships. She saw people for who they were, understood their motivations, and then made the choice to treat them with kindness. That's grace and maturity. That's also how relationships work in the actual, adult world, with your in-laws, and at your workplace.
Acting/Cast: Chemistry is 10/10. For anyone suffering from withdrawals after finishing this drama, go watch their behind the scenes clips. The actors' interactions when the cameras aren't rolling are even sweeter than the drama. Go watch that iconic clip where the male lead was playing with bubble guns with the female lead while hugging her waist and the director (I kid you not) had to yell at him to drop his hand and control himself. Given how flat the script was with respect to their characters, I applaud the two actors for making the characters so real and likeable.
Music: 10/10. I loved the songs!
Rewatch value: I think that's actually where this drama shines/is poisonous. I've been rewatching sweet interactions from this drama this whole past week, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching Dr. Zhou cooking breakfast for his Beibei, or Beibei pushing Dr. Zhou up against a wall. If you go on Mango TV's website or their Youtube channel, they've actually been posting condensed versions of the drama with just Dr. Zhou and Beibei's interactions. It's like a mini drama that you can rewatch over and over again without feeling the need to skip scenes.
Anyways, this drama has been like a drug during quarantine. It's escape fantasy at it's finest. Somewhere in another world somehow, Dr. Zhou and his Beibei are living out their fairy tale life happily ever after. Thank you to this drama for gifting me with an immense amount of second-hand embarrassment and many nights laughing and blushing. It will forever have a sweet spot in my heart.

Strange...
I read the book before watching the drama and I have to say that I had a strange experience of watching the drama. The drama is an adaptation of the novel but I feel like the novel is the better adaptation of the drama.The novel mentioned but failed to explore several intriguing relationships while the drama completely omitted said relationships and instead added new relationships that were never mentioned in the novel. Also, the script really messed up the characterisations of most characters which I did not enjoy. Other characters especially members of the Su family were omitted and why did the script even have to change the origin of the betrothal?
I also hate how Su Jinbei was made into a Mary Sue character that couldn't even get angry with a white lotus who tried several times to destroy her lie.
All in all, I think I would have enjoyed this drama more if I didn't read the novel before watching.

Just watch it for the fluff and good-looking leads
I’m currently rewatching Intense Love just for the cute moments and trust me, there are many, many cute moments of sweet interactions between the male lead and the female lead.Both are so cute! The male lead is tall, lean and handsome. The female lead is gorgeous. She is just so pretty to look at.
There are many romantic moments in this fluffy show! ❤️ Just dive in and enjoy the sweet moments. (Ignore those irritating parts that are, apparently, a must in all dramas.)
Ship these two cuties!

Ryan Ding saved this series.
Love wasn't that intense but kissing scenes were. Hehe.There were a lot of ridiculous and unrealistic scenes. And first few episodes will make you wanna drop the series. BUT Ryan Ding's visual will make you stay. (Or maybe just in my case. ;-))
Both ML and FL are so good looking. And they were so so cute and so so sweet. I almost had tooth decay. :D
The plot has great potential. Could have been better. ML is so perfect. A rich handsome Doctor who can cook and is a good kisser. I want him for me. Hahaha.
I also love that there is no overly dramatic heartbreaks. Just two sweet and understanding leads.
I really really hated Dr. Zhou's little sister. She is so annoying at first though it got better. But still hated her childish tricks.
Things I still find confusing after watching:
- IDK what I missed but ML and FL just suddenly got lovey dovey. Like, hello, they haven't really had their moments.
- FL was too kind. I mean, she's too kind handling Zitong. Zitong did her dirty and yet she still almost beg her to be friends with her. WTH.
- Sudden love story between Jiawei and Su ying. I know Su ying likes Jiawei but Jiawei just magically like Su ying. I know they had some of their moments but it was just too sudden. They could have build up their relationship more.
Anyway, if you can bear with the first few episodes. Please watch it. It's good for killing time. FL and ML are also so cute and sweet so it's worthy.

Story- The story is all about the two families who gather themselves to arrange their children engagement but they didn't show up. But when they met in the hospital after an accident of the FL and then she get to know that her incharge doctor was her fiancee. After that she desided to chase after the doctor (ML) and take the revenge because he didn't show up on the family meeting but they ended up with true lovers.
Things I liked- I like the chemistry between the doctor and the actress . And most important thing is they both are rich not like other dramas where the ML lead is rich and the FL is poor. I am fed of watching these type of drama and good to see this Drama. I also like the chemistry between WU DI (WU YANG) and DR. XIAO YUAN SONG (JULIO WAN YAN) . The ML was so supportive. And the most entertaining character was DR. XIAO YUAN SONG ( JULIO WAN YAN) . I found his character same as he was in the Drama THE LOVE EQUATION but still I liked it so much.
Things I don't like- They didn't tell much more about the past of the ML & FL. Also they didn't tell much about the past of WU DI. There's no need to show the chemistry between the sister of ML i.e. ZHOU SU YING ( LIN XIN YI) and the actor or the collegue of FL i.e SU JIA WEI (SHI MING ZE) but if they showed than they have to show properly,they only show in the last two episodes that I feel very bad about this drama.
If you want to watch Sweet Drama with no melodrama than you may recommend this drama.

The side couples were also great together. Although I didn’t care much for Zhou Su Ying and Xu Jia Wei’s relationship because of how both characters started out.

Intense chemistry(Must Watch)
The first few episodes were a little bit fast paced but later on it becomes better with how the both main lead have their progress in their relationship. It's storyline is very romantic and light-hearted. There isn't much of a 'drama' moments but rather cheesy moments will come through.Ding and Zhang Yuxi's acting skills in this drama is very natural, both of them have great visuals. Their skin ship will give butterflies into your stomach.
PS, Behind the scenes are a must watch as well as their live interviews.

I guess this drama is okay. Not much from the plot but the premise is that the male lead who is a doctor and the female lead who is a popular actress apparently are engaged due to their families. They try to walk out of the engagement and meet each other unexpectedly when the female lead was hospitalized with her as her doctor. She's attracted and later realizes he is her fiance. It had moments, but the plot didn't really stick to me.

One of the favourite drama
I have watched the series 10 times, acting skill for main leads are awesome, season 2 is really wanted.Two eyes said everything about the character of Dr. Zhau Shi Won. He is really excellent, We fans wanted to see him As CEO main lead roll, because his acting will rock on..so please directors and drama companies please give him more romantic drama projects,we eagerly waiting for him. and main female lead also did good. And thi Xi yi couple looked good together. We want them together again in a romanic drama.

Story- as I said, finally it's not the usual rich guy-poor girl story. Although, there's a lot of cliche from this drama, you can ignore them because it is written in a very interesting way. FL and ML, both are kind hearted and they were able to clear all the misunderstanding really fast, so it saves you from tons of heartache where most drama would love to dragged misunderstanding almost until the last episodes.
Acting/casts- Haven't watched any drama of any actors in this drama, but after watching afew eps, I checked Ryan's page and saw The Romance of Tiger and Rose, so I started watching it as well (another drama that I would recommend people to watch).
Music- meh, they can do better.
Rewatch value- yup will definitely rewatch this a from time to time while waiting for another good drama.

No chemistry, No comedy, No conflict
I wanted to watch this drama after having seen clips and hearing about the kisses but 11 episodes in and I think watching paint dry would be more fun. This is labeled as "Friendship, Comedy, Romance, Life" but I didn't find any comedy here. What was supposed to be funny?Where is the conflict? Please tell me the ML's annoying little sister isn't the only conflict here. Conflict is important to push the story along and keep the viewer engaged but almost half way through and there's still no core conflict. I wanted to get hooked in but almost halfway through and that hasn't happened.
Although both leads are very good looking I felt no chemistry between them. I've seen both actors in other dramas that I did like and did see chemistry. Unfortunately, I did not see any sparks between these two here. :/
Would Not Recommend
Would Not Re-Watch
