Mini Recaps
[
Ep1] A money-loving Ye Qian Yu gives up her prize money to save Shan Jun Hao. She gives him CPR but instead of thanking her, he minds the smell of her breath. From there begins their hateful relationship. She demands 8000RMB for saving him where 1000RMB is for her losing her first kiss. He snickers that that's how much her kiss is worth. But he doesn't have his wallet or phone so he can only owe her for now.
[
Ep2] Tai Chu and Ye Qian Yu's first meeting is when she sees him playing her mother's favourite song on her mother's piano. (Her birth mother had passed away and the piano has been sold to a piano store. YQY is working her butt of to buy it back. The mom that she has now is her adoptive mom.)
Shan Jun Hao and Fan Yun Yi are engaged but she doesn't want to marry him just yet. She wants to experience love before she marries. Thus Shan Jun Hao tries to be romantic. He proposes in a hot air balloon. But before he gets to put the ring on her finger an accident happens and the hot air balloon loses connection to the ground. Guess who the hot hair balloon belongs to? Ye Qian Yu.
On her way to the hot hair balloon site, she finds a diamond ring and immediately puts it on her finger. She bumps into the victim of her hot air balloon, Shan Jun Hao, and there they have another round of bickering.
I can totally understand him hating her. I would too. Everything's money, money, money. She reverse blames him for the hot air balloon incident. She also refuses to give the ring back and throws a tantrum.

Ep3] Shan Jun Hao and Xu Zi Qian are like brothers. SJH's father adopted XZQ into the family. On the first day he was adopted, he found an abandoned Fan Yun Yi. XZQ seems to be the one who's truly in love with YY but he doesn't act on it out of respect for his brother, SJH.
It's the engagement party, everything should be smooth sailing but Qian Yu's uncle plans to kill him. Her uncle is at his wits end because of SJH's company. He thinks that once SJH is gone his hotel business will stay afloat.
Okay, we obviously all know that a company stops running when the CEO disappears, like there exists no other capable employees. However, before he gets to kill him himself, Jun Hao's car is sent over the curb into the sea because of another truck. Engagement party cancelled.
[
Ep4] Jun Hao is alive and wanders on the road that Qian Yu is driving on. She almost crashes into him but brakes in time. However, he collapses on her car still. Scared, her family and her stuff him in the back.
Aight. When he wakes up at their place, he doesn't remember a thing. His personality is also much softer and he believes everything they tell him: his name is Tong Hao (the thing she ate that gave her a bad breath) and he's a scammer so he cannot go to a police to report otherwise he'd be turning himself in.
Memory loss doesn't mean personality and intellectuality loss, right?
[
Ep5] Mom discriminates between Jun Hao and Tai Chu thinking TC is the rich one. Despite that JH is such a sweet boy still volunteering to do everything and anything.
They hike a mountain and fall into a pit. She twists her foot and together they stay overnight sharing their feelings with each other. The next morning they're looking for a way out. He tells her that he won't leave her because from the moment he first woke up she's the first person he saw. To him, she is his family. After they're saved (by Tai Chu) they're having breakfast, and mom is still discriminating giving all the good food to TC. Qian Yu doesn't like the discrimination and fills up his bowl with meat too.
[
Ep6] Mom cannot handle him at her place anymore so she decides to send him off to Indonesia for a year to pay back his whatever debt. The day he is set to leave, QY gifts him her favourite stuff animal, a maneki-neko in a frog suit with money in it. A money hungry girl giving someone money. That's hard to come by. But he doesn't take it and leaves her the money to go to Indonesia...
Indonesia he goes, but QY learns that it's a scam (human trafficking). On her twisted foot, she runs to the harbour to call him back. The ship is unable to turn around so he jumps into the water even though he doesn't know how to swim. Once again he's saved by her. She complains she had to give him her second kiss. He laughs and kisses her showing her what a real kiss is like. That's the third kiss or actually their first real kiss. He tells her he doesn't want to leave her and he gives her the fourth kiss. She accepts the kiss.
[
Ep7] It's funny how mom wants to send him to Saudi Arabia now. However, he's starting to prove his worth: adept in accounting, business management, and classical music. It's revealed that the piano wasn't bought by Tai Chu as QY had originally thought.
I say it's from Jun Hao. The uncle who recognizes Jun Hao asks him whether or not he's curious about his past. JH replies he was but no longer is. His past doesn't matter. His family, QY, the mom, the kid are here and that's what matters.
Wow.
[
Ep8] Plans to rejuvenate the hotel commence and the leader is Jun Hao. However, his poor dad passes away and Jun Hao never got to see his last moment.
That's not going to sit well when he regains his memory. If they had let him file a missing person's report he would have got to see his dad, or perhaps his dad wouldn't have to pass away.
[
Ep9] To save the hotel they find an endangered species (this dolphin) that way this land will be of no worth to Senwell (JH's company). Jun Hao falls into another pit and is unable to present the evidence so QY goes in his stead. Her manner of speech is a carbon copy of Jun Hao's which scares off the substitute CEO. JH and QY aren't official but they're pretty much an item. She's worried sick thinking he died after falling into the pit. He would eat her diarrhea-inducing food and claim it's delicious still. He loves her so much he's contemplating on forgoing the surgery that can recover his memories.
That kind of surgery exists?
[
Ep10] Hotel is saved but they need business. Tai Chu uses his social media presence to bring awareness to the hotel. The next day business is bustling and his identity is found out by QY and JH. At night they celebrate their business. QY takes this chance to arbitrarily decide that today is JH's birthday.
One of my problems with this drama is that JH had a perfectly fine life prior to his amnesia. He had a happy family, he liked his fiance and his brother, and he had a successful career. He was just a tad cold but he was good to his family and friends. Her family's selfishness took that away from him. Now he's brainwashed to think this is real happiness. Perhaps it is, but it's not worth it for his father's death.
JH sulks that QY is only thanking Tai Chu for his help. She tells him of course she has to thank him; he's a guest. Meanwhile JH is family. He likes that explanation. However, the next day he gets into a jealous fit. This makes him extra nice to other girls and then it's QY's turn to be fuelling with jealousy.
[
Ep11] Jun Hao cosplays himself to save QY from embarrassing herself at her high school reunion.
Why does this fine man love her?
They make their love official on the Ferris wheel as he kisses the ring on her finger...the ring that isn't hers but I guess it eventually will be but for the moment I still don't think it belongs to her.
Remarks
First Impression (Ep1-8): I really don't remember if I liked the original Prince Turns to Frog. I remember watching it cause everyone raved about it. I don't think I personally liked it that much. Forward 10 years and dramaland is giving me the same plot. This drama is closely following that story line from my spotty memory of it and I don't know if I can handle all these illogical holes again.
Dropped (Ep11): I can't handle it.
