I really love it when I get to watch a drama that offers more than fluff.

Maybe some would find the first few episodes to be a little slow and the FL to be a little depressing character but it will all be understandable as the story unfolds and viewers see how hard life has treated her. Deng Jiajia is giving a very good performance as the FL. She emits different feelings for the different stages in her life. Before the hardships, her eyes looked carefree even when she was beginning to worry. During her saddest phase, her eyes looked dull and defeated. And in the current timeline of the drama, her eyes looked fearful but determined.

Darren Chen as the ML is a case of kind to the FL but cold to others. But unlike the usual overbearing CEO trope, he was already kind to the FL even from the start of the drama. Also unlike the usual trope of unapproachable boss, he looks gentle and bubbly to his coworkers. He is kind to people who are kind to the FL but straightforward and a little ruthless to those who are not. He is a silent guardian type who would be happy if she is happy. He is exactly the type of person the FL needs in order to move forward and grow.

I am liking their interactions so far. I liked that the ML can draw out smiles from the FL, that she is comfortable with him and slightly guarded to others. I also like that they seem to be able to understand and heal each other's traumas.

The second CP also seems to be cute and uncomplicated so far. I immediately felt that they truly like each other and that this might be an ideal coupling.
