The Video shop ajumma told me that this drama is good, and that she had personally watched it, and even BOUGHT this dvd for keeps. I trusted her , and yes, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this drama.
It felt so familiar, watching this drama. It was like watching a korean drama. Good directing, good acting, good-looking people and just such a warm drama - albeit looooonnnnnnggggg and kinda draggy towards the end. But it was GOOD.
The Gist :
Plain "Post-It" girl, Chen Xin Yi, apparently a common name, has never had any luck in the department of love. She's either bullied or made used of by men. On a cruise (that she's duped into going by her flirt of a BF), she "accidentally" went to bed with a super-duper rich Ji Cun Xi, who was on the cruise planning to propose to long-time sweetheart Anna.
Unfortunately, that one night stand led to Xin Yi being pregnant. To make story short, this drama is a journey of a couple who're pushed into a marriage of convenience.
But what made this drama worked was the clever pacing of the development of what I call, "Affection" and not "love" between the couple. There are a lot of good scenes with very good dialogues, and superb acting, especially on the main actress, Chen Qiao En. She looked so much like Soo Ae, not too pretty but enchanting. She's believable. She made me cry when she cried, she made my heart ache when she was yearning for her husband's affections.
Watch it!
I give this drama 4.5 pop corns.
