This was one of my highest anticipated dramas of winter 2020 as I was getting into a lot of web dramas and the premise seemed interesting - the classic marriage contract hate to love relationship.
Overall thoughts? If you want to watch something light and silly to kill some time during this hard time, this was pretty good. To be honest, I watched the drama in two parts. The english subtitles were still coming out, and the site I was watching it on released 3-4 subbed eps a week. After some time, in the middle , decided to just stop and wait until all the eps were out so I could binge watch the drama like I do all others. but after a while, it was hard to get back into, and I ended up forcing myself to watch a single ep. So I gave up. Until I realized how much I hate to leave things unfinished, so I started up again.
In the beginning, everything was light and silly, as it was a romance between Yi Han, an aspiring actor who is immature and is in love with his manager, and Pei You You, an orphan who is working as a nail artist to try and buy her childhood home in order to feel closer to her mother. In the beginning, it was cute seeing You You as a strong, independent woman interact with her contracted fiance Yi Han, and basically babysit him. Eventually, we got to see a fun side to You You, and a very cute middle school romance bloom between the characters. I was actually really surprised how quick their romance started as they got officially married on their own within the first 10 episodes and the rest of the drama was them learning new things about one another and falling more in love. That was when I started to fall off as the drama seemed to be less about their quick romance (which I also appreciated because I hate waiting til (for example) ep 16 for the mains to finally kiss) and more about the romance between the side characters. First we have, You You's half brother Lu Ming and starlet Ran Zi Shu. At first, I absolutely HATED Zi Shu. She was borderline insane and throwing her affections towards Lu Ming who traveled to China for the summer to meet and get closer to a sister he never knew he had. He honestly, looked confused and terrified. But as the drama went on, their relationship was actually the healthiest one. Which blows my mind. They normalized and it was very simple and cute. On the other hand, we had Kan Di (Yi Han's manager) and Lin Tian Nuo (You You;s childhood friend and film maker). I won't go into this one much, but I felt like their relationship was unnecessary and forced. It seemed like they wanted to make a happy ending for everyone so they were like oh...Kan Di, the divorcee, and Tian Nuo, the childhood friend who never had a chance. I actually really liked Tian Nuo as a character - he was the opposite of Yi Han in the beginning as he was mature, level headed, and always accessed every situation as well as always put You You's friendship before any other feelings. But when he started to "develop" feelings for Kan Di...I lost interest.
It was the middle that lost me, BUT I had a glimmer of hope thinking that this drama could save itself by having a big conflict that came to light toward the end....and boy was I surprised. We all knew what or who the issue would be at the end, but I didn't expect it to unfold the way it did. I honestly, couldn't put my laptop down the last 5 eps as I wanted to find out what came next.
In the beginning, this drama was silly and fun, and I didn't expect AMAZING acting from a silly and light web drama, but for SOME REASON, the actors decided to pull a 180 the last few eps. It was like the actors who played Yi Han and You You decided to show up the last few minutes and then win the game with a huge victory. I found myself tearing up as I believed that they were both actually heartbroken. It ultimately made me bring this score from a 6 to a 7. Yi Han went through crazy character development and matured so much after all hell broke lose, and seeing him cry, BROKE MY HEART. I think I fell in love when he explained everything in his little speech at the end and now really want to see him in other dramas. Was I a fan of the ending...eh...it was super emotional and pulled at my heartstrings, but I already knew the fate of the two mains, as it was spoiled in the opening credits. I get why they chose to go that route as one of the reasons why they were having issues was because You You was feeling inferior to Yi Han and his career, so it was a little slap in the face with reality for You You, but it made for an emotional ride that made Yi Han and You You realize what is most important and what their dreams were.
