Drama Digest
A CEO who dislikes crowds marries an underprivileged heiress under contract. They first butt heads since they had different personalities, but with time they grew to trust one another. As they fall in love, these flawed souls assist one another in healing.
The Feel-Good Part
This romantic comedy began with every cliche that could possibly exist in a television drama: a contract marriage; a foolish, immature, destitute girl; a cold, traumatized CEO; and accidental kisses. This drama could take some time for you to get into, but because that’s how it always is for me, I didn’t mind too much. The female lead is not as stupid and irritating as you probably anticipated. I eventually grew to truly like her. The male lead made it more difficult for me to adapt. This was undoubtedly not how a girl should be treated, regardless of how incapable of handling other people’s and his own feelings he was claimed to be.
The Disappointing Factor
The silly, stretched-out misunderstandings made it difficult to sit through this drama series. At the same time, the first few episodes were really difficult to watch because it was the same as any other cliché Chinese drama and the characters had nothing interesting to say.
