Light and fluffy romance

I started watching this because of the marriage of convenience trope. The girl was really cute and the guy was so-so.

However, in episode 2 I finally found the guy HELLA CUTE. I thought he was the usual aloof character, but he was also extremely adorable in his own way.

I was so surprised to discover that they already started kissing in the first episode! Suffice to say, this short drama has a lot of skinship and you just can’t help but smile at the romance unfolding the entire time.

The plot is simple and slow, no overly dramatic characters nor dragged-out plot. This really is just a story of two people working together to make their marriage of convenience work, all the while learning how to compromise and communicate. No external factors that could potentially put a huge dent on their relationship.

So if you want some light, cutesy romance with lots of skinship, this one is for you.

A whole new league in itself

This drama is a breath of fresh air. Plenty of people claim that the premise is similar to DOTS but the only similarities they have are the occupations of the leads and the earthquake incident. But in YAMH, the earthquake part only takes up a little chunk in the storyline (about 10%).

This story has depth, no frustrating moments, and the relationship and chemistry of the leads ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL.

Sandra Ma is such a great actress. She is not afraid to look haggard, normal, and stressed out in front of the camera - just like the rest of us. On the other hand, I wasn't particularly interested in the ML before starting this out, but a few episodes in, he started growing on me. HE IS THE ABSOLUTE CUTEST ML IN ALL OF CDRAMALAND AFTER YANGYANG. He is that charming.

Also, their acting is very natural! The way that they interact with each other really does look like all the other couples out there, and there is no hint of awkwardness in the way that they interact, even the skinship! The amount of ad-lib I believe this series has only goes to prove this point.

And the plot! The plot was dragging at some points, but I didn't really care about those. I cried about 3 times watching this. The romantic scenes between the leads were not cringey/corny/roll-your-eyes level. The conflict were all internal and there was communication among all the characters. This is what I specifically liked about Xing Kelei and Mi Ka: the fact that they both compromised and communicated their issues to each other - like an ideal relationship.

For anyone thinking twice about watching this, this is a sign to start that first episode.

This drama made me smile giddily

This drama introduced me to the Khun Chai universe! I always knew about those series, even picked up some of them (but never finished), but I never made the connection that they might be connected! While watching this series, I was wondering why the other family members were getting so much airtime? Lo and behold, I have been sucked into the rabbit hole that is the Khun Chai universe.

Story: The story was adorable from the get-go, as in any Dhevaprom couple. But the first few episodes, I was cringing at all the cheesy scenes, but I was also giggling. I couldn't help but keep going. The plot is not that complicated, but it was annoying at times. I felt like a ball, getting tossed back and forth.

Acting: The acting from both ML/FL are superb! They are very beautiful, both of them, while some of the side cast had a little bit of awkwardness.

I'm glad I picked this up. I will definitely rewatch this.
