Oh my goodness.....spare yourself some time to breathe and exercise - just skip this downright boring, irritating, annoying, silly, childish drama.I promise you I try to be very very fair with c- dramas, give them full benefit of the doubt, allow for a lot of nonsense. But most of the c dramas go beyond these limitations.
They are either over dressed or under dressed, women acting like 12-year olds, dressed like them also.
No chemistry. Yes there are intimate scenes but they are lifeless.
The story just drags on....that is if you can even call them stories or just a mish mash of clichéd crap.
The FL is so mediocre......aaargh......

I dunno what kinda drugs people who hyped it were on, but I evidently did not receive my portion
This drama was hyped only because of nine-year-olds who happen to be hopeless romantics for the slightest display of love and affection on screen. Aside from the plot being trashy, this drama is about contractual marriage, meaning boundaries were set in the contract but were they respected at all? No. Was there consent while stepping the boundaries? HELL NO. Was the female lead manipulated and coerced into a scheme by the male lead to get into the contractual marriage? Yes. Is that okay? No. Biggest wtf. I watched this drama, so you won't. Find you something better.Was this review helpful to you?
I've never really watched contracted marriage dramas, so it was one of the first ones I've watched, and I've also never seen these actors before. But I quite like this drama, I think one thing I like about these type of dramas, is the actors, and how well they played the roles! You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into making it what it is!
Like it was super light-hearted to watch, and I sometimes like those type of dramas, where you have best friends who are always with you! and of course the typical right there at the right time sort of placements but I still enjoyed it.
Though I do think the Support Role guy, Mo Zi Xin was a little annoying! He was clearly not liked by the main girl and he was just somehow always there wherever she ended up being, and of course when the main girl would just be a oblivious girl, who would just act normal even though it could be read wrong by him! - Just thought he was slightly annoying but other than that! I enjoyed it.

HELP WHY IS THE ML SO CUTE
this drama is probably my second favorite cdrama except for falling into your smile (which is still my #1)no misunderstandings the ML is really loyal to the FL and always believes her.
there is a evil second female lead but none of her evil plans ever work, the plans just made the main leads get closer.
i literally lost count how much kissing scenes there were, like estimating 38 ???
the couple is sooooooo adorable and OVERLORD CUTENESS..
have you ever seem to notice that the male lead seem to look like Hu Yitian on the side when he smiles???? like there smiles look so familiar !! its so cute TvT <33333

Un fumettone
Con il pregio che possa avere questo dramma per le riprese del regista, rimane una storiella d'amore per adolescenti. Una favola con corteggiatori benestanti verso una fanciulla a metà cenerentola e a metà principessa per bellezza e talento creativo nel settore dell'abbigliamento. I dialoghi fra amiche e amici sono del tenore di confidenze per spasimi amorosi e risoluzione dei problemi d'amore. Tutto sommato la storia è atta a fare rispecchiarsi innamorati alle prime esperienze affettive con fibrillazioni, delusioni, malintesi, riconciliazioni e ... finirono felici e contenti. In certi momenti ho finito per annoiarmi per il ricorrere di episodi similari ma ho continuato a guardare perché mi piaceva guardare gli attori più che essere interessata allo svolgimento narrativo piuttosto scontato.Was this review helpful to you?

Very Good For What It Is
This drama is actually very good for what it is... a contract marriage drama, a cliche in itself so I don't know why people are hating and expecting so much. Sure, there are many cliches especially the accidental trip and kiss, most of them were cute though. This was my first time watching the main leads, I think they did a good job with their roles and their chemistry was elevated. More positives ... there are no mind-boggling misunderstandings and the ending is happy. If you like a short, light and fluffy no-brainer romcom, this is it, enjoy!Was this review helpful to you?
Quite Cliche and Predictable but Sweet
The story of the show ain't something new but the same cliche contract marriage drama trope which has been used so many times in so many shows. The same CEO and poor Cindrella marrying each other for their own benefits and the same jealous second leads who will try to ruin their relationship but in the end get rejected and go home. Though the story is predictable but is sweet and cheesy enough to make it work and not look cringey,The one and probably the only strongest point of the show is the couple's chemistry. The leads were the perfect casting for it and it shows in every scene they are together. The supporting cast has done their job really well too. I would say my favorite character would be the ML's grandma.
It is a good watch if you are looking for some cliche romantic love story stuff.

What a cute drama
It had everything to be another classic marriage contract drama, but it wasn't just that! From the first episode we could see that it would not be just another drama in which the main characters began to create their relationship with a contract.Is it a cliche drama? Of course it is!! However the way the story develops makes this serie into something different and much better. Throughout the drama, we get to see how Xi Xi and Si Chen grow as people and realize that there are things much more important than money and work. I love the fact that this story doesn't lose its way and focuses a lot on the main couple and everything that involves them. Family, friends and even those who didn't really need to be there (I didn't even have characters I didn't like *cough cough) made the romantic story much more interesting and fun to watch. The ending was super cute!! Will there be another season?? I hope so, because I really loved the chemistry of the main actors and I hope to see them together again on TV.

Season 2 ?
It's a simple and reguler/similar drama like others. I watched lot of dramas like this . still why I watched because of lead pair.I like them and their chemistry. worthwhile watching.And there are some rumours that season 2 expectations so I choose this review as my interests will in season 2.There are lot of open scenes of season 1 those leads to the season 2's content but I don't want them To season 2 regular plot like we already had lot of dramas.So no breakup ,different plot are ok.other wise it's better to stop here coz that will affect season 1' s popularity or ratings.

Perfect fun, relaxing romp
Honestly I enjoyed this show more than I expected. Still, it was the right length (48 episode shows are too burdensome) and the ideal tone. Being stuck at home with COVID, I wanted something that wouldn’t stress me out to watch. This show has a nice balance between funny and serious, with punchlines never feeling awkward. I’ll credit the actors as well as the writers here, because both seem to have a good grasp on human behavior.It’s also nice that they avoided some of the more egregious tropes, which allowed certain characters to feel less like caricatures than other series.
The cast was also well selected. The main leads’ chemistry was palpable, heating up the screen at every turn. (I’d also love to see an appreciation post for Li Jun Chen, master of snark and physical comedy.)
The music selection was a lovely touch, never overpowering the scenes. My biggest beef is the fact that, even though the story centers on the fashion industry they didn’t have a large wardrobe, nor did they take care to change clothes from one day to the next.
Otherwise I’d suggest anyone who enjoys happy, sappy love stories to check this one out and judge for yourself!

cliche but cute
very cute but a very cliche romance,,,, if you are here just for some romantic kissing scene and beautiful fl it'll be worth it .. but story wise it doesn't have any major plot twist to hooke you up ,, for me i dropped iit in some last few eps when i felt like nothing new could come of the story except some more romantic scenes , the acting of the cast is awesome tho ,, like many other female leads in chinese drama this one was more sane and normal pitched tone ,, an the ml also wasn't total psycho who was healed by power of love kinda thing lolWas this review helpful to you?
Typical Rom-Com C drama and that's okay.
Love a Rom-Com C drama? Then you won't be disappointed with Once We Get Married.As the other reviews have stated, this drama has every troupe you can think of and sometimes that is okay. I love watching Rom-com c dramas to just kind of turn my mind-off and put a smile on my face.
The actors are pretty to watch and you kind of root for them and their careers. I liked Wang Zi Qi from The Imperial Coroner and it was fun to see him in an older boss like role. He looks good with normal hair and period piece hair.
Wang Yu Wen is pretty to watch and I've seen her in other dramas as a support role so it was nice see her in a main lead role.
I thought the main leads were fine and the storyline was fine. You have that typical hate to love relationship storyline and of course contract relationship. You have some people rooting for them, like grandma! Got to love Grandma and then you have that double love triangle.
Sometimes it can frustrating, sometimes you watching them just to communicate and sometimes you smile a lot because of all of the cheesy moments. Don't expect substance, but it will give you all the silly rom-com c drama vibes if you are looking for that.
