Cotton candy - fluffy, sugary, light and airy

This is a sweet, fluffy drama built out of well-loved tropes:
- Sweet bubbly girl + aloof intelligent/super-competent guy
- Girl provides the EQ to guy's IQ
- Guy who starts out thinking girl is foolish but falls in love as he gets to know her
- Guy is cold/indifferent to others but devoted to her
- Contract marriage to real love

This drama goes all in on the sweetness and cuteness of the relationship rather than playing up angst and conflict - there are some of the standard obstacles as well (FL has another suitor, ML has another suitor, relationship insecurity, family pushing them together/pulling them apart), but they're not taken very seriously and quickly resolved. It's also nice to see a supportive and loving relationship where the 2 want to help each other accomplish their goals. The acting was fine - I felt like ML's acting was a bit above FL's but they were still cute together and had good chemistry.

I really enjoyed watching their relationship progress and all the sweet fluffy scenes, but without a real story structure or any significant stakes or obstacles to overcome or even anything serious outside of romance, I started to lose interest, especially in the last quarter. There were big things that happened in their lives but they get resolved and there are no consequences. Also, I was not a fan of the story arc for either of the secondary couples. The sweetness of the drama was great, but it was just lacking depth for me.
