Marriage contract
Best story ever, not kink, there is no some evil antagonist who do all thing just to get the Ml or FL lead. Just love it and always back to rewatch. You will see the big change from the FL lead. Sure she is learn, love the ML change to become so powerful. Love they chemistry and how they play the role. It just so perfect. I really love to see another story with them as a main Lead. A big standing applause for the writer and director. This drama should be nominate as the best drama ever. The pace is just right not to slow and not to fast. The main Fl and ML so handsome and prettyWas this review helpful to you?
Lovely fluff
This story is very unrealistic and oh so sweet. It's cheeky, and cute and sexy all at the same time. This is like an adult fairy tale without too much angst. I loved it. Highly recommend for a sweet unrealistic happy and sexy adult fairytale.There is something about that ML that is mesmerizing. All the characters are attractive but he has something else. The chemistry is amazing. The kisses are meh but the watch is worth it.
The additional character stories were cute. I didn't agree with everyone's decision but I understood

Cute Series. Too many scene fillers.
This was a cute series with a slight twist. FL being the overbearing CEO. However, the FL character development was troublesome. FL is smart, bold, innovative in business dealings and completely clueless in personal relations. One might say that is how most of these CEO leads are written, but the problem comes when she can completely mend both the personal softness and CEO boldness with Simon. and not with who she is 'in love' with. ML was pretty good at delayed acting. His slow to act movements felt more off than aloof. I prefer the ML more in the latter half of the series. The OST was nice. This story could have been told in a more profound way 10-15 episodes less. There are times where there are scenes that can be cut easily ' fillers'. By the time you get to episodes 30-35 it is like 'get to the point already'. Because there was so much going on with the main couple, the third couple pairing really was not necessary.Was this review helpful to you?

starting from a contract marriage that eventually fell in love. A story that is quite common in dramas. The story is quite interesting because here the female players are more dominant. but the male player is no less charming with his doctor's suit. from early to mid charming a little annoyed when they divorced. but when they meet again and the cute yao yao appears to be even more attractive. here we learn that our soul mate will return to us despite how long apart. really like Simon Gong here, really handsome.

This is a great romantic comedy with a very fun cast to watch. The cast did a good job bringing their characters to life and the leading couple has great chemistry. The leading couple, Lu Fangning (Zhou Yu Tong), general manager of Luning Group, and surgeon Ling Rui (Simon Gong) has great chemistry and a lovable, steadfast relationship. The female lead comes as a domineering and pedant lioness but deep inside she’s loving and conscientious. There is consistent character development, some twists, and humor. SPOILER: The drama could’ve been shorter and the cliché separation was ridiculous and unnecessary to say the least. Still, the drama is very entertaining. Enjoy it! Was this review helpful to you?
A fun and interesting plot
Ok first of all let me just say that I had been anticipating this drama since forever and was sooo very happy when it was finally released. And I have to say it did not disappoint me at all. At first I thought that the to is drama would be an average contract marriage drama but oh was I wrong. The storyline was a lot different from other contract marriage plots. There were just the right amount of cute moments and the problems that the couple faced came in at just the right time. I have to also add that the acting was really well done and the ost fits in nicely with the story... overall, a light and fun drama to watch!Was this review helpful to you?
CLICHED BUT WELL WRITTEN. PERFECT NO LOOPHOLES. HEARTWARMING. THE BEST OF 2020
CHARACTERS: HANDS UP AND DOWN TO Zhou Yutong and Gong Jun. THEY ARE PERFECT MATCHED AND ACT SO WELL. THE DOMINEERING CEO. YU TONG PULL IT OFF PERFECTLY. SHE IS HILARIOUS AND DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST ACTRESS. GONG JUN ON THE OTHER HAND REALLY JUST HANDSOME AND LOOKS LIKE AN ANGEL. NOT COLD JUST WARM HUMAN BEING. THEN THEIR CHILD. THE EPISODE IN 27 AND ONWARDS WAS MY MOST FAVE EPISODES. THEIR CHILD WAS SO CUTE AND ADORABLE. PROMISING ACTOR FOR SURE. THEN THE OTHER CAST JUST COMPLIMENTS THE WHOLE DRAMA. THE TRAITOR/ HUSBAND OF HER SISTER WHEN HE GIVES BAC THE COMPANY WAS JUST THE PERFECT ENDING. THOUGH THE 2ND COUPLE JUST HAVE SOME SHORT LOOPHOLES AFTER SIX YEARS BUT I LIKE IT BECAUSE MORE OF THE FOCUS WAS ON THE MAIN COUPLE.PLOT: THE PLOT WAS CLICHED IF YOU LIKE WATTPAD STORIES. YOU DEFINITELY WILL LOVE THIS. THE FIRST 3 EPISODES WAS THE MOST SATISFYING ONE. THEN THE REST AS JUST SO SO. THEN EPISODE 27 UP TO 35. THE BEST EPSIODE OF ALL DRAMAS.
THE OST WAS ABSOLUTELY GOOD.
TO SUMMARIZE A MUST WATCHED. THE ONLY DRAMA THAT MADE ME LAUGH. THAT MADE ME CRY. THAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE.

Love is sweeter the second time around...
Begin Again has been in my "To Watch" list for a while now but only got to finish it today. Thank goodness I did coz I actually enjoyed it.!Simon Gong has been excellent in "Word of Honor", so I was excited to see his acting in a modern drama. As expected, he delivered. I am not familiar with the FL but she did great too. They both complement each other plus that adorable kid was so cute it made the story warmer.
I've seen a lot of this contract-marriage trope in Cdramas and more than half of what I have watched has been dropped coz it's cringey, awkward and most of the times, annoying but this drama hits differently. Although the plot may be simple and somehow cliché overloaded with predictable ending, you can enjoy this sweet drama too for its warm romance, good chemistry, acting and with a bonus - a lovable and witty kid who can steal your heart hahaha

One of the best Chinese dramas I've seen this year
There's a lot to love about this drama. It's full of cliches (childhood friends, contract marriage, etc) but it's also entertaining, funny, and easy to watch. Part of what makes it so fun is the FL, who is confident, bossy, funny, loving and sometimes just extra af.If you watch dramas purely for the love, you'll be happy. The main couple is really good together and it’s not just a cute fluffy romance, there’s actually substance to their relationship and depth to the characters themselves. They have misunderstandings and conflict but as the drama progresses you get to learn about their backstory and understand why they react to situations the way that they do. The show will have you rooting for them and crying alongside through tough situations and misunderstandings.
I usually avoid long dramas but although the show is 35 episodes it’s worth watching. Around ep 20-25 the pacing lags a bit and I found the villain subplot kind of weird, but I think that may have just been an awkward transition between the two timelines. The show jumps 6 years into the future and continues, but despite the abruptness of it it really does work. I feel like that way you get to see a fuller picture of the couple and it helps keep the plot interesting as well.
I definitely wasn't expecting it going in, but the show has a lot of heart and really manages to shine despite having familiar cliches. I liked the secondary couple as well but I found their romance a bit unrealistic / instalove.
8/8.5

Cheesy yet so good
I love the drama for being self-aware of the typical rom-com themes. The leads are very charming and bring so much sweetness on screen. I had some problems with the personality of the female lead but in the end, I learned to accept her for being flawed. I'm glad the love triangle did not drag and was settled early. The male lead is such a blessing to watch, his role is to be angelic and it made me believe he was truly an angel. Overall, this drama is a nice watch if you are tired of the usual rom-com genre.Was this review helpful to you?
I NEED MORE DRAMA LIKE THIS
The first episode already got me hooked on this drama!!!The female lead did a really great job in playing her character.
Generally I would say that this drama is funny and very fresh BUT there was also so many scenes to cry on. Ughhh, the acting is so real that it made me feel as if I’m in their places and undergo the exact pain.
I love how this drama also shows the bond between family members and how it can literally affect anything. There wasnt much of a twist and only on the beginning.
Usually I would get tired watching dramas with too many episodes but this one is totally an EXCEPTIONAL. Like I could rewatch this anytime and not get bored of it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

worth the timeeeee
i only write reviews for dramas that i really adore, if you check my profile, ive watched alot alot of shows but only leave reviews for a few*cracks knuckles* lets get started shall we?
the story is typical in a way but unique in a way! i gave story a 9 out of 10 because i didnt like how they skipped the 6 years part and only briefly show us how they were hurting after her leaving. its truly a refresher - i call a drama like that when the story has very little arguments and you're here just for the hugs and kisses. theres not much arguments, probably like 1 but it is actually just a disagreement. its just really really sweet and how fated they are. whatever they lost [items,feelings] were all back to them in the end and i love it.
edit: im sucker for gao er fan and lu yue's storyline. they make me cry all the time
one of the big reasons why i decided to watch this drama was their chemistry behind the scenes. this one BTS went viral in the chinese drama community [VIA DOUYIN] was when lingrui was walking through the house and the memories of when she just left came back and he was crying while visioning her leaving with her luggage. right when the director said cut, the female lead couldnt get out of character and the first person she ran to was the male lead. he carried her off the ground and walked around with her in his arms <3. plus factor! lu yi yao [uncle simon] is so hot lol
i never really listened to the music but it sounds nice so baam a 10 :D
this is really one of the best contract marriage drama ive ever watched. looks are on point, chemistry on point, humor on point. and their budget is really good too! sufficient for all the props!
next drama i might watch is either Love In Time or Ive Fallen For You [by Esther Yu and Liu Yi Chang]
And i would really love to see another drama starring this drama's cast. Like using the same production crew and casts for another drama. Example Legend of Yunxi and Blooms At Ruyi Pavillion!!
