Immature FL & ML relationship due to inability to communicate ANYTHING!

The description of this drama sounded interesting. In my head it was going to be a mix of bromance mixed with love o20. I will say it was somehow an easy watch despite it being so frustrating. The plot line was exhausting and repetitive, but for some reason I kept watching it. The whole show can be summed up with the FL and the ML both having awful communication and a general immaturity with no ability to think from the others perspective. It was so ingrained in the plot that really I walked away from this show asking myself what the point of it was. Most of the problems between the main couple came from one assuming that one knew something even if they didn’t say it, and somehow expecting there to be trust. A lot of people seemed to think the ML was the worst of the two in this show, and granted he was very childish and made incredibly naive albeit innocent decisions. But considering how the marriage was forced on him, and her never telling him….anything…even when he tried to communicate, I actually found myself understanding his actions better than hers, and by the end her stubbornness was driving me bonkers. ML had character growth while FL’s dwindled. This show was one of the first times I felt no satisfaction in the final couple.

On the upside, I did enjoy the side characters, particularly FL’s best friend and her coworkers. I even liked ML’s sisters character, which some might find annoying as she was rather aggressive and….loud, with the pursuit of her love interest. But she was at least earnest enough that I found her commitment and conviction to him endearing.

Honestly, I quite like it, perhaps more precisely, I almost really don't like the storyline. The main female character is very beautiful, patient, graceful, cheerful, innocent and forgiving.

I don't understand why she still wants to be with the main male character who is a jerk, childish, selfish, has no brain, doesn't want to give in and many more after knowing the fact that he only wants to get married because of his parents' pressure and threats and other mistakes.

As a man, I am already very disgusted with the character and behavior of this man, maybe the female audience will be forgiven and excused because of his handsomeness lol.

Surprised this poorly written story was written by women.

This story was written poorly! The first episode alone had multiple plot holes. I made it through 11 episodes and surprised that I did because it was getting worse as the story progressed. The acting was bad, the plot wasn’t very logical and the characters weren’t very interesting.

I’m actually surprised this show was written by women screenwriters because they don’t seem to grasp the basic idea of a woman with a crush; even more, the directors are male but didn’t grasp the concept of how to act like and pretend to be a male. They didn’t even try.

The FL character seemed to have low self worth as she accepted the ML character’s poor treatment of her through out the show and built her whole existence around the ML. The ML wasn’t even remotely like-able and it was hard to understand why she even liked him since she didn’t really know him.

I don’t usually mind the contract marriage tropes but this was one of the worse.

Another happy ending story!

Probably annoying for others. The half of the story sounds like the 'You Are My Destiny' ... denials, acceptance then chasing!
The female lead (wife) got pregnant too .. got an accident ... but in this drama ... at least there was no miscarriage and I am ok with that .. no stress! The male lead (husband) persevered in winning back the love of his wife ... sounds corny but I love it!
i love happy ending story and i watched to entertained myself....

i love it! and I love Xing Zhaolin and Zhu Xudan

depois dos primeiros episódios melhora tanto que nem parece o mesmo drama

A pior parte do drama é o início, pra mim foi quase torturante os primeiros 7 episódios em que ela se veste de homem. Não faz nenhum sentido essa parte, acho que poderiam ter mostrado outra solução pra Lu Li entrar na empresa sem ser daquela forma. Por isso, pra mim o drama só começou a ficar mais interessante e mostrar a que veio depois disso que é quando eles se casam (um casamento por contrato) e a ex dele, Li Man, volta. Aí vem o clichê que eu gosto de assistir.
Em resumo, 1) eu gostei de como a Lu Li passou de uma garota boba pra uma pessoa com mais amor próprio, mais esperta e que não se contenta com migalhas. A separação deles foi fundamental pro desenvolvimento dela e do Yi Cheng. 2) A Li Man é aquela personagem detestável que até certo ponto ainda consegui ter um pouco de empatia. 3) O arco do drama mais chato que eu não faria a menor falta era o da amiga da Lu Li e o “irmão” Gu Mo. 4) O fato de não ter um casamento de verdade no fim não me incomodou, gostei do pedido de casamento no final, foi bem fora do comum e fiquei até surpresa. O que não gostei foi a Lu Li ter passado quase a metade do drama grávida e ficou por isso mesmo.
Por fim, achei bem fofinho e foi um drama gostoso de acompanhar.

Illogical, tropey, toxic relationship. Say no more.

It is no secret that the rom-com genre is trope heavy but some shows make it work. This show did the opposite and it is hard to enjoy because of its many issues.

Let's start at the beginning. It was a slog to get through the first 5 episodes. The whole meet-cute was stretched to breaking point with the FL disguised as a man to get her dream job. They tried to milk the setup for laughs with all the cliché twists like going to the wrong toilet, picking a fight with a caveman, having her period while in the middle of the office, etc, etc. They are so obvious that it is just a cringe fest. Then we have to deal with the biggest plot issue. I'm sure an edict of not hiring any female programmer is straight up discrimination. I don't know about Chinese laws but I'm sure it can't be legal if it is a stated condition of employment. That whole set up just does not hold water but the writer pushed through with it and logic be damned. This led to many plot holes that are just painted over or ignored.

It did get a bit better once she came out as a girl in ep.6 and thank god for that because she was totally unconvincing as a guy. If you want to be generous, she might pass as a tomboy but most of the time she just looks like a girl with a short haircut and speaking of the short haircut, they tried to say that a short hair wig can hide a full head of shoulder length hair. Not likely. Once she is a girl again, a hit parade of tropes were dumped on us such as contract marriage, co-habitation, hiding their relationship from the world, etc.

As I mentioned in other reviews, it is important for us to want to ship the CP in a rom-com but the further the show progressed, the harder I find any motivation to ship them. A lot has to do with the portrayal of the main characters. The ML is a man-child who has low EQ but he is also selfish, rude and manipulative. The main CP's relationship is abusive if not downright toxic. He goes through cycles of being angry/jealous -> taking it out on the FL -> feeling guilty afterwards -> ham-fisted attempt to atone -> a) succeeds and we get a few moments of CP bliss or b) fails (which is often) he gets angry and take it out on the FL again. This is a destructive spiral and it wears mighty thin when it went on and on. BTW, the 2ML is a constant source of his jealousy but the 2ML is so beige that there is little chance of second lead syndrome.

The FL, on the other hand, is a top university graduate but has this crush on the ML for years and she will do anything to be with him and worshipped the ground he walked on. She ended up being his wife/slave/victim. Any crumbs of attention or affection from the ML will have her doing a delusional happy dance but she suffered so much more. This is an odd portrayal in this day and age. She also refused to let him see her face in the beginning of the show until she started dressing as a man. Why? Who knows.

Speaking of manipulative people, the show is full of them. The ML's mom is a classic schemer, the ML's father is a one trick pony which always gets his way with the ML by threatening to cut off his funds. His sister is a woman-child who manipulates everyone. Of course, no tropey rom-com is complete without the scheming ex-GF. We are in for a rough ride once she entered the scene on ep.11. This is why we need the CP to become a team so that they can push back against the antagonists and we can get behind them. What we have instead is ML being childish and annoying, their relationship precarious and unhealthy. I want to say to the FL, "give up, girlfriend."

And gave up, I did. The returns are few and far between. The dodgy paint by numbers script didn't help. It is not terrible but it didn't hook me. In a sea of tropey rom-coms, I needed something more to make me commit my time. I watched 12 episodes for free on WeTV. Maybe when all episodes are free-to-watch I'll speed run through to the end. I have no doubt that they will engineer a happy ending but it would be a looong march to get there.

Stupid, childish and irritating

It’s the type of drama that gives you lots of ANGST!! Lol... that’s why I never bothered watching You are my Destiny, although it had such good ratings. This has the same storyline and concept. ML CEO is the bullying and belittling type, actually likes the FL but don’t know how to admit nor express his feelings. Ex- girlfriend comes along and stirs up trouble etc, the leads separate and then in the end come back together.

The actress who plays the ex Li Man is the same actress that plays another bitchy character in Perfect and Casual. Seriously she should do other roles, cos she doesn’t want to be stuck with this kind of stigma roles!

Disappointed with this one. Wouldn’t recommend this.

A drama filled with cliches - but in the worst way possible

I would have just said Cold ML and Bubbly FL, but unfortunately, this drama is not it. This is a story about a cold/unfeeling/strong-headed ML and a pushover/no self-esteem/stalker-y FL. I watch a lot of romcoms and enjoy tropes in moderation with at least a slightly believable/ ethical plotline. BEWARE: This one is not the rom-com to watch if you like a cute/fluffy romance that is a feel-good timepass. The story is absolutely messed up - without spoiling, but if the ML were to do the same things that the FL was doing - It would really raise some eyebrows and questions. Not even going into how the ML is forced into marriage via forced drinking/ emotional blackmail etc. The FL taking advantage of certain relationships gets married to him - mind you, she has had a 'crush' on him for years now. I say 'crush' because it is not one - it is her being a stalker and taking advantage of situations.
They use various tropes and each as useless as the last one -
Crossdressing - There is no way that was a believable male get up, with makeup and liner. This was not executed to half ots extent and ends up just frustrating the audiences. How stupid do you think the people watching this are?
Contract Marriage - The ML is forced in quite some unethical ways by his family. The FL family makes sense and tries to her out of it.
Long term 'crush' - At the rate at which she is acting, it's surprising no one has labelled her a stalker/ creep. With zero sense of self, she is ready to do whatever it takes to be with this guy - Who very clearly states he doesn't want to be with her.
Living in - The ML is clearly uncomfortable with her ther and the next scene you see how happy she is that she gets to live with the ML. ML doesn't like the idea of marriage and she continuosly pushes it.

A doormat is too kind a word for the FL who clearly needs therapy and a restraining order.

Currently watching ep 10. I can't stop without completing any series and am watching this at 2x. It's still unbearable. Will keep the review updated.

ALERT: toxic relationships

Right. So I'm dropping this drama like a rancid hot potato.

The ML embodies toxic masculinity writ large. Selfish. Cruel. Insensitive. Self-absorbed.
The FL embodies doormat candy. Emotionally needy. Fragile. Incapable of recognizing and rebuffing the ML's cruelty.
The SFL is a caricature of the 'mean' woman. Essentially a female version of the ML. So they really are a match made in hell.

I wish drama writers would:
1. Stop valourising toxic masculinity.
2. Stop fetishizing men's cruelty to women in relationships as 'love.' And its corollary, women's acceptance of terrible behaviour as 'love.'
3. Stop pitting women against other women.
4. Stop making romanticizing lack of consent and rape culture.
5. Stop normalizing excessive drinking as socially acceptable when it is incredibly physically and mentally harmful.

Right...I'm off to bleach my brain.

The story is pretty weak, if your in it for watching the stars, or looking for a cuteness out of the couples its fine.

They reused the office building that was in the previous drama "Use for my Talents (2021)" which was a better drama than this.
Yi Da Qian gets more of a better role here than Love Designer, but the relationship they set him up didn't care much for.
Imo, they tried to make Jiang Yi Cheng's character style look too much like Yang Yang's, which didn't seem unique or appealing.
Bambi Zhu got to star in her own drama, in a role where she didn't act like a beotch like in Eternal love or Sweet Dreams.

The story starts off strong, but rapidly changes as Li Lu no longer is able to continue her ploy as she gets exposed. It then follows the typical drama plot where you try to get the cold hearted guy to break and fall for you, and then eventually when it happens, they have trouble maintaining that love.

Love causes you to do alot of dumb things, but Li Man's character was just too full of it, making things too obvious, especially without someone who has abit of power/money, she could get other people to do the dirty work. Her story could've been better worked out, chasing after a man who's married recently doesn't make much sense, especially if you've disappeared without a word for 3 years, after causing a workplace mess, if you think you can just "slide right in" then there are obvious problems. Also, anyone knows if you delete something from a computer server there are log in records, data backups, besides the camera they had focused on the work area so they had plot issues.

The story eventually diverges from programming as it focuses more on the main characters relationship, then jumps back near the end with Li Lu starting the tutoring program.

The ending with the issue with other company was rushed, and seemed more like they just wanted to tie loose ends with the story, which is a pacing and design issue.

The drama suffers from a lack of organization, as it has diverging stories that they all try to pay off in the end.
At many points it just felt frustrating to watch because the story wasn't vetted out, mistakes were obvious.
