Despite My Ratings, I Liked This Drama

(I'll only focus on the four main characters in this review. Be aware that this review has major spoilers)

This drama is lucky I am a sucker for cringy rom-coms. As usual, we always start with the clumsy-but-bright FL (Shuang Jiao), who of course happens to be the breadwinner of the family. Then we have the guarded-but-sweet ML (Ren Qi), who of course happens to have a major issue that prevents him from connecting with others on a deeper level, which the FL help to overcome or "fix". And just like every cringy rom-coms, they both have some major family issues. Shuang Jiao losing her mom and Ren Qi having a strained relationship with his grandfather. Of course we have the side characters. The second male lead (Lu Xian) who apparently has known the FL before the ML and has liked her before him. Of course he also has some secret connection to the ML which we discover later. Now, this is where we diverge from the typical rom-rom characters. I LOVED that the "second" female lead (Qian Qian) wasn't a mean girl who tried to ruin the relationship between the FL and the ML. We also had a good-girl-bad-guy trope with her story. I am a sucker for this trope as well. I love that she's this "good girl" that has to keep a certain persona and she falls in love with the "bad guy" (Dong Xian) who has a dark past (and of course, is a badass). I also love that the MIL was so supportive of the ML and FL's relationship and wasn't the "take this money" or "you're no good for my son" type character. I know I'm being sarcastic but I actually really enjoyed this drama. It's a light watch if you don't want something too heavy.
