Hearts: 
A fluff drama with contract marriage + cohabitation + bonus kids. 

A visual drama too! One giant and three shorties. You won’t get that anywhere else.

I love my giant Xie Bin Bin, but I cannot defend his dastardly character. He had so many chances to confess his marriage scam, but no, drama needed him to drag this out for its 30 episode quota. However, it seems drama is self-aware and gave us a time-loop special to punish him, ha. Still, I wish the truth came out sooner so I could enjoy his cuteness and thoughtfulness without being guilty for/with him.

I’m going to be the a-hole here and say the cute kids are terrible actors. Nananabooboo! However, Chen Chen and Xuan Xuan have their (one or two) touching moments. Also, for our couple, I think they both had better chemistry with their previous co-stars. Again, they have cute moments too, but not enough for my greedy heart. 

The best surprise is the 3FL. Her friendship with Qi Si Le came from left field (well, a common enemy), but I’m all for the random sismance. She’s great with the kids too!

One (1/5)
