Could've been better !! Would not recommend
I got this as a recommendation from my last post on Reddit. Honestly, I loved the first 20 episodes. We have strong fl for the 1st time and who is rich at the same time. Then calm, hot ml who is caring at the same time. Their chemistry was amazing. Both the lead actors acting was really appreciable. But...First, there was that irritating second lead, but it did not matter to me much like he was okay. Then the childhood meet up which was also ok. But then all of sudden she leaves him for him to follow his dreams like WTF was that. And then the son grows without ml... Excuse me why writers you made it like this... Breaking up is not a solution to all problems. It's more than sitting together and resolving it. I lost my complete interest in it. And also so much screen space for second leads made me skip all the parts of it...Instead you can watch drama like.
Put your head on my shoulder or Love is Sweet.

Good for the first 10-15 episodes.
I didn't read the reviews for this one before going into it, should have. I just wanted to see Garvey Jin in another romantic drama but it was for the naught. His story only got interesting in the last couple of episodes that was the only good part about those episodes.The story is so bad halfway through. Why can't these people talk things out? What's with keeping the baby from the father? Its not like he is going to be crappy father, the ML was a green flag and honestly would have been a much better father than the mother. As a role model for the child, she should have at least considered how her decisions would affect the baby but no. Once you find out you are pregnant, reach out to the fellow. Stop making decision for the guy, if he said he didn't want to be a father once he found out, then that's another story. But that was not this guy at all.
Just felt like wasted 9 hours watching this. Had to skip most of the scenes since they were not very impactful.

have good chemistry
I like that the two leads have good chemistry... and they're both very pretty and handsome.Yutong and Gong Jun's acting is unquestionable... many scenes made me laugh, especially in the beginning. I replayed the wind scene many times.
Very funny, I hope they will play again in another drama as a couple. they are very good.
each character in this drama is not negative, they are very... the character development shows that they are getting older. learning to be good parents. and also supporting each other.

It is worth your time to watch this!!
I really enjoyed this drama especially because the female lead is a strong independent woman. I like that both the male lead and female lead were people who could stand on their own two feet. I really enjoyed their acting and the interactions it was so adorable, even all the supporting characters you can't get enough of! I really do recommend people watch this because I really loved it. It's a heartwarming romance, and the ending honestly I probably couldn't ask for anything more. PLEASE WATCH!!! You will enjoy it a lot. I know I actually laughed a lot watching this and had some parts where I teared up. So if a drama can play with your emotions, you know it's a good one. I hope people give this a chance~Was this review helpful to you?
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LEADS AND THE STORY!
TBH, i was not into cdramas before... I have only watched Love 020 and A Love so Beautiful in 2016 and 2017... then i have watched Go go Squid in 2019. Then last Nov 2020, i have stumbled upon a poster of a cdrama BEGIN AGAIN with list of episodes. I didn't hesitate to watch episode 1 and booom! i was into it. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LEADS AND THE STORY! I haven't watched the trailer nor read the plot. I just wanted to surprise myself of its story and it really surprised me. I thought it was just a typical contract marriage set up so I didn't expect the 6yrs later part. I was so in love with thia cdrama. That's the start of me being crazy with Cdramas. I have binge-watched more cdramas in 2021 until now than kdramas. hehe... And Begin Again is still my most fave cdramas ever. As of July 2022, it is my 4th time rewatching it. hehe Ling Rui and FangNing will always be part of my life. I think, out of all cdramas i have watched, I can only memorize few characters names of the leads... if i can remember their names, means that cdrama had a great impact to me. hehe I can also memorize what episodes are the important scenes and my favorite scenes here.Was this review helpful to you?
great drama, loved the acting, actors, and personalities!
before i start with the review, i'm just gonna say that i mainly watched this drama because of gong jun lolstory: this drama had a very.. different romance story. usually it's dating and then marriage, but this drama is marriage and then dating. it might not make sense at first, but once you watch the drama, you'll understand! i usually hate hate hate straight romance dramas because i think they're always so cringey (i much prefer wuxia bl dramas), but this one was different. it wasn't cringey at all (although there were some areas where i just felt weird watching it). this drama isn't like high school romance, it's more like people in their 30s. the side romance stories are also so cute!
acting/cast: as i said, i watched this drama mainly because of gong jun, i think he's really good at acting and uh hes attractive lolol.. i didn't know the female lead actor at first, but i really liked how she portrayed the character lu wan ning.
music: i'm not a fan of romantic little songs, so i'm not one to ask abt the ost of this drama haha
rewatch value: eh i wouldn't rewatch it, just because it wasn't THAT good. it was a decent drama but not worth rewatching.

Just watch thus and you’ll never regret :3
It’s not a typical Ron-com story that includes boring and re used scene like- accidental kiss, timid female lead, arrogant male lead, disapproval of parents but a sweet contract marriage of a doctor with a strong female CEO!But what if they are forced to breakup -not by their parents but their own love toward each other?And for extra sweetness there is two more couples and be sure that Caí Siyu and Uncle Simon will melt your heart right away! What do you need If there is a cute,handsome and hot doctor treating you in your period pain?But wthere is even plot twist that will spin your head And YES!I woke up whole night and finished this masterpiece !Was this review helpful to you?
Cute, fluff, rofls, pain, pain, so much pain T_T
I'm always a fan of a rom com with some good angst in it and this really did the job for me. Gong Jun's character especially, he suffered so much and is such a beautiful human being, every time he was hurt I felt it in my soul x_x similarly can be said for the second female lead, she is such a pure soul even after how she was treated by the second male lead.This drama is a must watch, there are moments that are annoying, makes no common sense and can be frustrating in the least but there are a lot of cute, fluffy and hilarious moments that will leave you grinning ear to ear. The female lead is badass and her character development is... interesting as she learns how to love. But a lot of choices she makes is impulsive and makes little sense, she is strong in facing her work problems but always runs away from her personal problems, and as a result, she causes the male lead a lot of suffering. There is sooo much angst in some parts of this drama, all I can say is paaaain but it is so worth watching T^T

Their child save this whole drama
This drama really interested me when i first watched because it’s a kinda ceo man and weak girl switch role. Because the CEO girl forced a man to sign a contract married with her and ask him to sleep with her so that she could have a child in order to succeed in the company. This drama was so funny i swear because of the reverse role thingy, it gives u a totally different vibe of the drama and really want you to kept on watching. However, i have to be honest, i dropped this drama once because after the funniness everything is kinda boring to me. But after i watched Shan He Ling, i just picked it back up(cuz gongjun ofcc duhh) and i can say that I didn’t regret to pick it back up. Because after they have a child together i really really like their child character. It bring a lot of joy to the whole story. HOWEVER, i still have to say that there are a lot of things I don’t like in this drama. For example, how they lightly treated the villain, how the female just abandon everything and left the male lead(like duhhj nth goes wrong gurll why u did this stupid sht), and what i hate the most was that how the male lead just forgive the female lead after she came back like 3secs ? you know at least the female lead show apologize for what she’s done and hurt him. (I dont really wanna go thru the details) BUTTTT, all of the things I don’t like make me think that maybe me don’t have to use logic to think in this drama which is why I recommend this drama for those for don’t really care about the plot and just want a comedy romance drama to bring joy to your stressful life.Was this review helpful to you?
Nice drama
Nice story . But I didn't understand the reason of her to left him . I think there was no need to leave him ,he already told her that he was not too rich like her but he earned enough that he can afford the expenses of her and her family along with his. But she left her .I liked that kid he was so cute especially when he said his dialogue .
I liked Cai Si Yu character more than the first female lead .
All the actors acting were good .
What was good about story that it didn't have much conspiracy.

What a good drama it was. I picked it up for Gong Jun and he didn't disappoint. His Ling Rui was so warm, sweet and wonderful, such a good egg, so grounded and lovely, the way he took care of everyone. No wonder that Lu Fangning decided that he would be the man she would marry and then did everything she could to put a ring on him.Interesting was how different and yet the same Ling Rui & Fangning were each time they met throughout the years: first as kids, then at the very beginning of their career lives and finally as 30 something adults. Theirs was not an easy love. They made several big blunders each - though mostly Fangning, that's true, since she carried more baggage - but in the end they managed to overcome it all and that was just precious.
I admit that I kept skipping the other couples' arcs since especially the character of Simon was rather... problematic. As much as I hate that term, it really fit him considering he was in love with Fangning, his step-niece, whom he watched grow up so... yikes. Sure, he was adopted so they were not blood related but she always saw him as her uncle since she was a little kid. So, no, just no.
But overall, it was a sweet drama. And Ling Rui and Fangning's child, Youyou, was a hoot. Where the casting found such a precocious five-year-old is beyond me. Amazing. For me, though, the main draw was Gong Jun and he was just so good in this part! Loved it!
