Really good actors, but a "total mess" storyline

I came to this series for Luo Zheng as ML (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

It starts with the bossy CEO trope (here, abusive) and the super competent assistant (FL) who adapts.
But then ALL the clichés follow one another: arranged marriage for the ML, break-up, 2nd ML (nice but without charisma), love linked to an organ transplant, suspicious accident which caused the death of the ex lover, the illegitimate son who returns to take revenge, ...

But what was the screenwriter thinking when writing this story????

I accept that the producer add a little angst / melodrama in the series to amplify the emotions, BUT:
### the FL still in love with a crush (which never materialized, she doesn't know if it was mutual) who has been dead for 4 years? who retraces the different places she had planned to confess? etc.
Nonsense !! The screenwriter has obviously never experienced real grief...

The 2nd narrative arc with the return of the illegitimate son / ex-crush, is a little more coherent, and the 2 mothers bring a touch of humor.

+ an excellent CL (which I would like to see again) with great chemistry,
+ very good supporting actors and endearing characters
+ nice but not memorable OSTs
+ production without downtime

### but you need to leave your brain at the door because the storyline is... a mess ¯\(©¿©) /¯

Avec Luo Zheng en ML (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

Cela commence avec le trope CEO autoritaire (ici, abusif) et l'assistante (FL) super compétente qui s'adapte.
Mais TOUS les clichés se succèdent ensuite : mariage arrangé pour le ML, break-up, 2nd ML (gentil mais sans charisme), amour lié à une greffe d'organe, accident suspicieux qui a causé la mort de l'ex lover, le fils illégitime qui revient se venger, ...

Mais à quoi pensait le screenwriter en écrivant cette story ????

Je veux bien qu'on en rajoute un peu dans les dramas pour amplifier les émotions, MAIS :
### la FL toujours amoureuse d'un crush (qui ne s'est jamais concrétisé, dont elle ignore si c'était réciproque) mort depuis 4 ans ? qui refait le parcours qu'elle avait prévu pour se confesser ? etc.
N'importe quoi !! Le screenwriter n'a visiblement jamais vécu un vrai deuil ...

Le 2nd arc narratif avec le retour du fils illégitime / ex-crush, est un peu plus cohérent, et les 2 mères apportent une touche d'humour.

+ un excellent CL (que j'aimerai revoir) avec une belle alchimie,
+ de très bons acteurs support et des personnages attachants
+ des OST sympa mais pas mémorables
+ une réalisation sans temps mort

### mais il fallait laisser son cerveau à la porte car la storyline est ... Meh ¯\(©¿©) /¯
