The Love Contract that Last?

This tender swoon worthy miniseries is nothing new yet has a nice pace and flow for the storyline. The twists that de-bunk typical trope pitfalls were fun to watch and consider. The turnaround reveals and warmth from the extended family gave a refreshing add to what the typical 'contract love' stories provide. The chemistry between the leads was very good and 'moments' were swoon worthy. The antagonist throughout became a bit tiring, disjointed and reaching at times. The ending seemed rushed, forced and incomplete which made the overall arc of the storyline miss the mark. It is okay to watch, but for a better landing for the appetite of 'contract love' I would stop watching @ episode 23.

Some very nice scenes amidst a just ok show

Highlights:
- I specially liked how the main protagonists were not perfectly nice people. They were flawed and not always attached to the highest moral standards. It was refreshing to see, most of all in a Asian drama.
- Once they got together, the main couple chemistry was super sweet and intense. I rewatched a couple of scenes and thought their interactions felt quite natural. They were believable as a couple for sure. Plus no deadfish kisses.

What could improve:
- The overall plot was a bit too simple, with some overused cliches that weren’t incredibly executed either.
- The last episode will definitely not satisfy everyone.

A Short Watch

A short story, just to fill your spare time.
I wateched this drama without so much expectations, and it turned just okay.

This drama told about Xia Tian, a little actress, who for money, acted as a long-lost heir of a business empire. She and the male lead, Ji Chengxuan made a contract in order to deceive He's grandfather.

Both of the lead has rhe chemistry. The looked like a natural couple. I loved the depiction of the female lead, lonely and helpless, yet tried to very brave and diligent. Both of the lead has their own flaws, they're not the kind of perfect lead whom didn't have any mistakes or shortcomings.

What I didn't like about this drama probably the ending. That kind of plot twist is really annoying. They can presented a happy ending, or even sad ending, and here it is. They didn't choose both. And also, the story is simple. A typical common plot, with evil female and male second male lead. I understood second female lead's reasons, but I still hate her though.

But overall, the depicition of the female lead story is really good. I can feel her helplessness, her sadness. And I even can see the male lead as her only family at her worst.

Yan Zi Xian el actor guapísimo

Solo la vi por el actor, la historia es bastante predecible,pero esos clichés es lo que aveces buscamos nada complicado y que todo acabe bien . Pero advertencia ⚠ , el capítulo 24 es una total basuara te quedas ? no entiendo si es una miniserie porque les gusta meter tanto drama si hasta el 23 todo estaba perfecto.?, lo bueno que si dejas de ver el capítulo final pues te quedas feliz pero si quieres acabar odiando al director pues ve el 24 ??, en fin el protagonista es un papucho hermoso guapo y los besos y escenas románticas me encantaron parecían el gato y el ratón pero una vez que salieron por fin fueron muy tiernos y románticos . La parte del yate es muy romántica ??. Ortea cosa que note que aveces la protagonista se comportaba como una niña y nadie la entendía pero el protagonista era todo un amor con ella , la actriz no me gusta tanto , En general y mi mas sincera opinión y reitero solo la vi por el actor por el merece ser vista . ?

It All Comes Down to Crappy Writing

Admittedly, I only watched this for the ML.

The story got repetitious and tedious after several episodes. It didn't feel like any of the characters really developed much, and I definitely didn't care much for the FL.

I followed the advice of the commenters and quit at Episode 23. I am not even curious about the 'twist' that many of them talked about because it seems to be quite ridiculous; it negates the entire series, and just sets up for a Season Two which nobody seems to even know exists.

Ultimately, the actors play the roles they are given - and the fault really falls to the poor quality of writing these days. Too many tropes and cliches which have become old and boring and even irritating - and not enough riveting, interesting, well written story lines.

I wouldn't waste any time on this drama - unless you like the ML and want to enjoy some eye candy.
