A Healthy Secret Relationship
I don't know where to start my review. Initially, I didn't plan to watch this drama because I was still experiencing a "drama hangover" from As Beautiful As You and wasn't ready to start a new one. But here we are. I'm glad I decided to watch and hype this drama while it's ongoing. I had previously seen Zhang Jia Ning in Shining for One Thing and watched several Wei Zhe Ming dramas.
To begin my review, I should mention that I haven't read the novel yet. I'm enjoying the drama on its own merit. At first, I was quite surprised that Jiyuheng proposed to Tuxiaoning in the very first episode. I thought that with 32 episodes, the plot might drag, but I was completely wrong. The plot is well-paced and builds up slowly and neatly.
Regarding our main couple, even though they initially decided to get married because they were a good match, Jiyuheng had already admired and fallen in love with Tuxiaoning since high school. They gradually get to know each other, understand each other, and fall in love. I really appreciate the progression of their relationship from the beginning to their eventual marriage. They also communicate well, avoiding misunderstandings and never allowing a third party to come between them. Moreover, they have supportive families. It's a dream to have a family like our main couple's, where both sets of parents approve, and Tuxiaoning's parents even agree to help with Jiyuheng's mother. What a healthy and green-flag relationship.
Usually, I don't show much interest in other couples formed in the drama, but this time, I was interested in Raojing and Zhao Fanggang's relationship. Their relationship also develops gradually, evolving from colleagues to lovers. Zhao Fanggang is really suited for Raojing because he can handle and take care of her well, given that Raojing is a strong, independent character. Their dynamic adds fun to the story. The friendships between Raojing and Tuxiaoning, and between Zhao Fanggang and Jiyuheng, are also portrayed as healthy.
Overall, this drama has been a nice watch after my work in the lab. It delivers a positive message. I was almost convinced, like Raojing, that it might not be so bad to stay single as long as you have a career, money, and don't disturb others. However, now I believe, like Tuxiaoning and Raojing, that being in a happy and healthy relationship with supportive parents is also something to strive for. I need to find my own Jiyuheng or Zhao Fanggang!
