Once We Get Married (2021)

Load of crap

I am so mad @ this series. I’m absolutely infuriated. To say some of the things that has happened before I dropped this crap, is a load of nonsense rubbish garbage is putting it mildly.
Firstly, This turned from a marriage contract to a slave contract.
First it was agreed that she would have her own private room but low and behold that didn’t happen, not only did she not get a room, she is get to choose between a closet or sofa. Two (2) very uncomfortable places to sleep while he gets to sleep on a big soft bed. And she’s mandated to read to him every night. I’m getting madder as I am typing this.
Secondly, they agreed not to meddle in each others lives but he has been meddling in hers constantly. A girl confessed to you that she likes you and said girl has had a run in with you “wife” in your presence and you know it wasn’t pleasant, then what do you proceed to do, you bring said girl to your home. He proceeds to command the wife in an authoritative master/servant relationship to go and get him water to drink and she obediently stands up to go do her master’s bidding but then gets stopped by the woman who was brought to the house, with the announcement that she’s in love with her husband. Said husband proceeds to get angry that the wife is not jealous.
Thirdly and the most infuriating of all. He literally tells her what to do. Come here, sit here, she literally obeys every command of his and walks meekly with him, she is sassy but her sassiness is fleeting, one minute you will think she’s about to stand up to him, next minute she’s apologizing and doing exactly what he wants. He literally threw her iPad in the water and destroyed the hard work she put in just because he was jealous, and surprise surprise she ended up apologizing to him in that scene. Gosh I am so mad. The scenes that broke the camels back for me was when he gave her the Italy materials to learn and was quizzing her on how to pronounce the words, he held a whip, granted he didn’t whip her but the fact that he held that whip was so wrong on all levels and I was not there for that at all, then after making the girl that confessed to him teach his wife etiquette lessons, she got bruises on her feet, then got sent home and told to write something 100times likes she’s a little kid.
None of what this guy did to this girl in this series is remotely acceptable IMO and I’m so disappointed that more people aren’t calling out this load of BS
But wait all this is all ok somehow because wait for it…. He’s falling in love with her hence all this emotional and implied physical abuse is cute.
I am so freaking mad with this BS. I can’t remember the last time I was this mad at anything much less a tv series.
I fucking dropped this piece of shitty crap @ ep10
1/10 because I can’t give it 0/10

Short Simple Sweet

Contrary to everyone who writes and complains such a cliche etc - basically majority of the series available these days are similar to another even from long long ago and not just recent series, so quit the complaining and whining about the similarities - I find that this series is actually nice, short and simple with some sweet and comedy moments. The first series I watched with both the Male (Wang ZiQi) and Female (Wang Yu Wen) Lead together as the Lead couple was the series "The Love You Give Me" (2023). And even from that series, I find that the 2 of them actually make quite a cute adorable couple. Happy to know and found an earlier series where both of them are the lead couple again.

For this series, the synopsis actually caught my interest. Found a few short clips of it in YouTube and decided to give it a try. I have no regrets checking out the series. Although the storyline has been quite "simplified", it is still watchable and enjoyable - unless you have set your own personal movie bar too high - and I think if you are just watching for a simple romance story, it would fit for a first watch. I find the Female Lead character cute, silly at times and even slow in realizing things (like as if there is none of us who fits that description in reality) and the Male Lead strong, no nonsense, and don't believe in anything "mushy", likely thanks to the upbringing of the mother from childhood. It is great to see how the Female Lead character brings back the meaning of life into that cold CEO ;)

The songs are alright, I love the song 因为相爱 by 都智文 the most. All in all, overall all the casts did a good job in bringing the series to life.

If you like the synopsis, watch it. If you like the series after watching, then rewatch. Reviews are nothing but personal opinions of various different individuals that might not even suit your own taste.

Une vrai jolie surprise

Voilà bien longtemps que je ne m'étais pas laissée emportée par un drama chinois romantique comme ça.

J'ai regardé ce drama, en tombant dessus par hasard, sans en avoir d'attentes. Bien sûr, tout les ingrédients habituels y sont, pas de scénario original, un mariage arrangé ... Bref.

Et pourtant, dès le départ je me suis laissé embarquer ! Les rebondissements sont multiples mais ne durent pas sur plusieurs épisodes, le carré amoureux est sincère, on a même mal pour les rôles secondaires de ce carré. Il y a une "méchante" qui essaie bien de séparer le couple principal, mais même elle, on finit par avoir pitié. Et il y a de l'humour, avec beaucoup de moments sourires.

Les rôles secondaires sont sympathiques, avec une mention spéciale à la grand-mère : Elle est excellente !

Quand au couple principal : J'ai adoré. Leur histoire se construit parfaitement bien, leur alchimie est forte et leur communication sincère. C'est ce qui nous manque dans le monde d'aujourd'hui.

En plus, toute la deuxième partie du drama leur consacre des moments vraiment touchants, on les trouve mignons à souhait sans tomber dans la niaiserie. De quoi faire palpiter les petits cœurs fleur bleue comme moi.

Une jolis surprise à découvrir.

Absolument génial !!!

J'ai adorée ce drama du début à la fin. Même s'il y avait des clichés, j'ai passé un excellant moment en le regardant. Les deux personnages étaient génial et j'ai trouvée qu'il y avait beaucoup d'alchimie entre eux. Enfin un personnage principal féminin qui a du caractère du début à la fin et qui ne se laisse pas faire.
J'ai aussi beaucoup rigolé en le regardant et la romance était tout simplement génial ! Je ne m'attendais à rien en le commençant, je voulais simplement regarder un drama sans prise de tête après un drama historique et j'ai était agréablement surprise de ce drama.

Please no!

Oh my life where do I start! Another marriage contract romcom - why?!! This is the equivalent of a Mills and Boon romance novel. Full of the usual tropes and then some! Falling, accidentally lip meeting, drunk FL, 2 ML who fell in love as a child with her and been looking for her ever since, the list is endless! Plus the overbearing ML who manipulates, bullies and constantly grabs and physically looms over the FL. Rampant sexism.
When are the chinese writers ever going to make something original and representative of life in the 21st century.
This is not original, funny or interesting- the actors and actresses deserve a better stroryline as they are natural and good at their craft.
