Young President and His Contract Wife (2018)

First of all the actors aren't that young and doesn't seem to be that experienced either? I mean maybe it was the script. I wouldn't say I completely hated. It was enjoyable for the most parts and it just didn't stand out I guess. There were some funny moments but most of the funny parts just didn't make me laugh out loud. I was actually smiling through the cute scenes. which is actually a plus point meaning I did't completely dislike it.
The story isn't something unique at all but it's from a manhua. Hope I can find it somewhere. It might give me more insight to the story. For some reason the story was all over the place for me at certain times.
Anyways if you are into romantic stories to just pass time I would suggest this one.

I’m not sure if the same creative team from Fated to Love You (You Are My Destiny) is involved here, but the basic plot is eerily similar. I’m talking major, major similarities on even some details.

But as a movie, this doesn’t have time to develop any of the relationships or their conflicts so some of the changes seem right out of the blue.

Add to that a very exaggerated style from the director and this is not a great movie. It’s like the director said “Can I get someone to scream in this scene?” every 10 minute or so. Yep, this goest to huge extremes.

Just a one time watch.

▪︎I read many comics about young CEO/president having a one nigh stand and there goes on goes an interesting plot. But to watch it as a movie is rare, While watching this movie also I read that its adapted from a webtoon. This reminds me of many lakrons as they have mafia,ex’s coming back and contract marriage stories. If this would have been a drama it would have a more depth and would have given a time to the audience to connect with their love and pain, but it just started and ended very soon.
▪︎Story was good but its synopsis is wrongly written. Chen yu han is temporarily staying at chen xi house. She is sad so she gets drunk. And chen xi had a drink with yi xuan xuan which she spiked. Chen yu han Chen xi returns home in drunken state had a one night stand. There is a good mid and ending to the story and am satisfied to watch this.
▪︎Acting was ok, the actress seemed a weakling all the time, wearing those baggy jackets over her dress. ML was good in the comic scenes, and who the hell sleeps wearing suit and tie.
▪︎Music- was fine. I liked the BGM more than the song.
▪︎Rewatch- after knowing the end it probably lost its essence. So no from me.

30 minutes longer = better movie!

I watched this movie simply out of curiosity, yet found it was very good movie for entertainment purposes .

The angles, sound, music and atmosphere all seemed fine and I have no problem with that aspect of this movie. I also liked the "family friendly " aspect of the ladies all being clothed instead of running around half-naked.

The only aspect I had problems with was it should have been about 30 minutes longer in order to fully develop the characters and show the diabolical plot of Lin Jinyu (Kelvin Leung) in his vengeance on the married couple; the female for spurning his love, the male for ruining his business...

Special acting kudos to Yi Xuan Xuan (Chen Shuang) for her last scene with the male lead, and also her doing an about face and becoming again a supporter of the couple. She, by the way, was in love with him for years and slipped a drug into the male lead's drink when they went out partying, which led to the main couple sleeping tpogether in the first place!

It was entertaining and an average person should also find it worth a watch!

I also plan on re-watching this on occasion as well.
