honestly, people hyped it up too much, and for me it wasn't that good. there was very little romance, which is not a problem, but i felt so ashamed watching some of the "romantic" scenes, i mean, they were both adults fighting against the most powerfull people but there was still some childsh scenes sometimes :(
it makes me sad because i really wanted to enjoy it, the premise was so good! but i couldn't care about for most of the characters, and those who were nice to watch had little screen time compared to others, and in the end some of them turned out to be irrelevant.
i didn't like the bonus episode as well, made me cringe because it didn't seem like a continuation of the drama, it was out of place

a new level for the male wife trope

the inicial idea was crazy good, and that made the first episodes very easy to watch.
i really liked that Pei Wen Xuan and Li Rong are not traditional characters, their personalities were different than we usually see in chinese dramas, they are a unique couple. also i loved their past, it was absolute DRAMA!
however, there's a very disturbing scene on episode 25 between the main couple, that bothered me a lot and i have not seen anyone talk about it, that scene was hideous, it even made me think if i would finish the drama, and it's the reason why i took away so many stars in my review. i believe it would be a trigger for some people, so beware.

particularmente, achei a história diferente dos dramas que eu já assisti, apesar de o romance ser um pouquinho absurdo demais para o meu gosto.
foi muito legal acompanhar enquanto lançava porque os primeiros episódios acabavam sempre de forma interessante, mas conforme chegou na fase final (a partir do ep. 12) ficou mais lento e repetitivo, o que me fez terminar um pouquinho forçada pois já estava cansada da história. o plot final foi resolvido bem corrido, poderia ter sido melhor desenvolvido.
visualmente achei tudo tão fofo e cozy, e fiquei viciada na OST por algumas semanas, é bem divertida

grumpy x sunshine at it's best

this drama was a great surprise and it's my favorite of 2024!
the plot is crazy, but it's a very fun story!
i was very pleased by ding yu xi's acting, and i was really surprised by how good of an actor he is (it was his first work that i watched) and esther is great as usual. their interactions were what made this so special, and the grumpy x sunshine trope was everything!
overall, there were some small issues, but they were not that bad and i managed to watch it in a very short period of time (even when i was studying for my finals lol)! i had a fun time, i liked the characters and they wore STUNNING costumes, for me, that's all i look for in a drama.
