This is sweet romance drama. but just like jyue wrote: 'This romcom started with every cliché there could possibly be for a cdrama: cold male (traumatized) CEO, dumb, childish, poor girl, contract marriage, accidental kisses ….' Yeah this drama check every list for cliché in the beginning. But every drama have their steering plot in the end. If you don't like the plot where the couple separated for stupid reason or stupid misunderstanding, I think you need to stay away from this drama. There is one stupid misunderstanding in their reason to separated & of course stupid reason for get getting back together, what else except still love each other.
But of course every drama have their ups & down. Here my list:
What i like:
+ I really like Gu Nan Zhou (NZ) mother. She is one cunning woman, in a good way. She always succeeded make NZ & Zhou Jian Qing (JQ) together.
+ Zhou Zi Xuan & Su You Xia. As each individual or as a couple.
+ like the chemistry between NZ & JQ
+ They did not make NZ trauma disappear in the blink of an eye when JQ want to break up with him. Many drama using this kind of plot, making trauma suddenly disappear when there is something seems more important between the main cast then the trauma itself. Yeah in reality trauma not that easy to disappear.
Stupid plot:
- When NZ need new animator for his company, the first person he think about not JQ, who obviously work as cartoonist, but Zhang Yin his love rival. If only NZ ask JQ to enter his company, maybe the misunderstanding or problem can be solved earlier.
- They always makes woman as a love rival seem like so stupid or stubborn, which doesn't want to let go the love, & make man as love rival who have bigger heart, they always at the end can let go the love for the sake of let her be happy.
Don't know to be put good or bad plot:
Why don't the writer make the plot about the Xing Ling Lake or paradise street 19 more about the story about NZ & JQ when their still little kids. Good because the plot is not made more complicated about this. Bad because I think the story will gonna be more interesting if like that
Yeah this is just typical romance drama. It's a good drama, enjoyable, but if you not watch it not gonna feel miss something special. But for Yan Zhi Chao, who played JQ, first drama, she did well. Re-watch...? Nah... Not that good to make me re-watch.

Trully enjoyable
I have watched this series few times and never gets old! The ml is not typical handsome lead, but i love his look and his posture. His imperfections makes him so adorable. Plus the acting so good. The fl although new is ver likeable and so cute also. They have awesome chemistry. The story line is not boring at all.And have a happy ending.
The second lead is not as catchy as the main couple but not bad as well. The story is so funny and i found my aelf laughing outloud throughout
Would definetely recommend this. And would love to rewatch again....

Super light hearted rom com
It is definitely what you expect, cute FL and an over bearing CEO. It is really unexpected that i enjoyed the series because the casts are not really well known. But the acting was good, they were really well suited for their roles! The good thing is that each episode only lasts 30 minutes so it's not that draggy.You might skip some parts here and there but the ending was good so why not give it a chance?
PS. some might get annoyed with the dubbing cause it does not sync with their mouths

FL and ML are both new actors, but surprisingly they are pretty good! Moreover, FL, this is her first drama. Their careers in drama world are quite promising. Their acting is quite good and also the chemistry between them is good and complementary.
This drama story is not new and predictable, CEO ML and marriage contract but I'm not gonna lie, this is entertaining and funny. I was willing to register as a premium member at watching platform to be able to immediately watch the latest episodes.
I'm looking forward to ML's new dramas. He's good and handsome lol, and he can play his character so well.

Cute and Fluffy!
I am bingeing contract marriages or relationship dramas back to back and this one was the most lighthearted one. I can't believe this is the first drama of FL. For a first timer, she really did justice to her role! You know what I really loved about this drama? FL has a voice and reasoning power, which is something we lack in many dramas. Also, the character development of ML was good IG. Was he a jerk in the beginning? Yes, he was. But he was trying his best in the last episodes!An honorable mention to the mother-in-law! She is a good wingman for her son. Even the evil lady's acting was good. It can be draggy (2nd half mostly). IDK 2nd leads felt awkward. And yes, too much miscommunication with leads was soo horrible lolP.S And please don't get influenced by the reviews. If you like to watch it, go watch it .

Overall it was an average drama!
Acting:Both female and male leads did an excellent job on their acting and their chemistry on screen was top-notch. Also, the other side characters showcased their acting skills. The male lead's mom made the story a piece of interest (whenever she appeared).
Storyline:
the storyline was so-so... the reason I say this, because after certain episodes it gets boring and it doesn't show much interest to keep watching. we have to be so patient to finish the drama fully. I was planning to drop it in middle but just wanted to finish it.
Personal opinion:
But to be honest, if you have a better drama option on your drama list then I wouldn't recommend this. But obviously, I'm not stopping you to watch this, and the second half of the story was the only part where it was a bit boring. This is the debut drama for the female lead in which she did a great job. And the male lead also did a good job with his acting skills!
Overall:
I gave this an 8 because i liked the female and male lead and their talent in acting. Also, the mother was very funny in certain episodes which was hilarious!!!

Got too much free time
Plot : It's your typical romance drama. Quite flat. Characters are not memorable enough. There are times when things can be unnecessary. But I can stand things like MLs suffer and struggling with their feeling toward the FLs.Acting : Quite good for newcomers? ML stiff expressions can be funny at times. FL is not that bad either? Just their chemistry is not that convincing.
Nevertheless, it calls for a binge when you have too much free time during pandemic. You can use skip button/fast forward for this one.

Felt so odd...
Hmm... Where do I start...The drama is good but is it only me or the drama itself felt so oddly fast... Everything keeps happening without a break... I think this is the FL's debut in acting and second drama for ML... He could have done a better job... The story is good but it lacks those subtle scenes that gives life to the story... The drama so far has only been around the ML's and FL's fighting, The best friend's hidden love for the big brother of FL...
It short... its bearable.. I can watch it till WeTV release new decent drama... The drama is 30 episodes yet more than half of the total episodes, the story still shaky.

Burst of cliches!
Started this cause it seemed to be full of cliches (it definitely was) and I was in the mood for that. It had almost every cliche you could name but that worked out decently well, however, towards the later half of the drama it seemed to drag for me and got boring.I kinda felt bad for second male lead here LMAO but the second female lead was literally unbearable ? very stereotypical evil second female lead and all her scenes were annoying however they weren’t that important to the plot so there’s always the option of skipping them. The Secretary lead the way for many misunderstandings between the leads but for the most part these were funny and added humour.
The male lead was fine but he was over possessive at times which was a damper the first half was better than the second half at least from what I saw. Overall it was an alright drama especially if ur in the mood for cliches

A female lead with an endocrine disorder?
I’ve been watching Hello Mr Gu and Please Feel at Ease Mr Ling in tandem, not least because – at least on the surface – they’re similar in premise. I normally watch Korean dramas and so am used to the rich/cold/jerk male lead and thick/childish/poor female lead tropes. But where dramas normally have – or attempt – character development, Hello Mr Gu does the opposite, at least in respect of the female lead.On the plus side both leads are very decorative.
The actress is young and hopefully she’ll get better but I’m currently on episode 24 (of 30) and, if anything the FL’s episodes of sulking, glaring and pouting seem to be getting more, not less, frequent. Among the things that have raised her ire recently are (a) being sent chocolates by her boyfriend (she’s not a diabetic) and (b) her best friend and brother dating. Very little, or nonsensical, explanations are given for these near-endless temper tantrums and in the last episode it was made clear that the CEO boyfriend, her best friend and her brother are full on scared of her and/or her anger.
Will the denouement be that she has a personality or endocrine disorder? I won’t probably make it that far.

Mr.Gu the story was really bad.He has bad temper and He protects his coworker then the female lead. Stopped watching after break up. He never understand or apologized to her. He thinks he is always correct. Female lead was very good acting when it’s her first time acting.He couldn’t confess his love easily and he breaks promise and he always with the coworker that likes him.He needs to protect the ones he love not the coworker that works with him. I wouldn’t recommend watching this drama it’s a waste of time. Was this review helpful to you?
