Drama-digest
A young woman named Min Hui unintentionally fell in love with a young man named Xin Qi five years ago. But because Min Hui was trying to aid the friend who had passed away abruptly by feigning to be Xin Qi’s long-lost childhood pal, things between them were complex. Furthermore, Min Hui, now fervently in love, didn’t want to watch Xin Qi suffer because of a severe and maybe fatal heart ailment. She tried to tell him the truth, but every time she did, he cut her off, didn’t believe her, or his heart condition would recur. He severed all relations with her after discovering the whole truth.
Five years later, they are reunited in the most awkward of circumstances at a professional event. At a tech company, Min Hui has advanced to the position of R&D assistant to one of the directors, and Xin Qi has established himself as the CEO of an investment firm. Xin Qi vows to exact all his earlier rage and treachery on Min Hui, believing that “fate” has brought them back together for a reason. Nevertheless, “fate” also reveals that Min Hui has a kid who shares the same heart ailment as Xin Qi, causing him to realize through a series of circumstances that he is the father—much to the lovely boy’s joy! Can these two find forgiveness for one another and themselves for the mistakes they both made in the past and reignite their love, now that they are a fully developed family, after some reflective discussions, explanations, and perhaps even a peculiar living arrangement?
The feel-good part
Quan Quan shared the scenes with everyone, whether they involved his family or his uncles and aunts. These were all amusing & lovely scenes. And a triumphant conclusion is the cherry on the cake.
The disappointing factor
This script had so much potential, yet it was squandered. The conflict between the two leads in the past and present was at first understandable, but as the situation became more evident, we still had an FL who wouldn’t let go of her narrow-mindedness. Thus, it was constantly one stride forward, two steps back.
In-depth analysis
It discusses topics like single-parent working women, (sexual) harassment at work, mourning, the anxiety of parents of sick children, etc. It is wonderfully written with grace and sensitivity, although certain parts are pointless. The initial segment of the production was excellent. The cinematography and music were simply outstanding. The introduction section’s inventive design caught the reader’s attention. Using a variety of realistic cartoon styles, it was made amusing. They made a deliberate attempt to fulfill a socio-civic duty for the viewers. Therefore, their cause was more than just the entertainment value of the performance. It was emphasized once more that victims should not choose silence to preserve their protection and dignity, as doing so could lead to a repeat offense. This drama focused on the life of a young couple with a son and how they were able to start a family once more.
Star power
When the leads acted together, they had fantastic chemistry, and the comedy was passable. When the supporting cast was on their own, they were terrific (apart from the gorilla glue). You will snicker at the exchanges with the child since they are so adorable. The father-son moments and outfits are some of the best in Dramaland, and the child is certainly endearing.
Overall opinion
It was humorous, adorable, fascinating, and occasionally dull, but they resolved it beautifully. Because this was a 28-episode c-drama, certain cliché events occurred that may have been avoided if it had been a kdrama. Sometimes it felt like the tale was stretched too thin for a 28-episode drama, but the best part is that they handled it pretty effectively.
