Drama Overview & Review


[Drama Info]

It's Qie Guo Wei's first lead-director drama after Youthful Glory and Healer of Children. Meanwhile it's Wallace Huo and Zhu Zhu's second collaboration after The Tale of Rose, though I don't think their characters intersected in that one.

Wrapped on January 1, 2023.

He is Yu De Dao Yu Yu.

We cannot call him Dao ge because that would be this cutie:

Before opening his heart to her,
he opened his 🍑🕳

His first present to her: a flag. (An honour-flag is what police officers give “model citizens” who did something brave. She wished him a happy birthday, lol).

When he upsets her, this is his full-of-effort effortless apology 📣

Part of the apology, he scams her into buying a DVD player in this day and age.

This is his hat

How does she fall for this weirdo LOL

He can't even get funerals and weddings right. (Okay, not entirely his fault...but still)
1688 😂💀

Girl can't choose her dad, but she can choose her husband... 😅

...and somehow she chooses Yu Yu, basically her father 2.0 and with an Emperor complex (so Wallace Huo!)

And he can't do anything alone...not even apologizing (every apology with this guy is a whole production xD)

This drama isn't built on classic romance tropes though it might have some or one

Instead, him calling her face big counts as affection 🤣

And despite being a prickly grouch 24/7, he has a whole team that adores him – to the point they can translate his coughs like a second language.
So come, and enjoy Yu Yu's story of why should/n't be single.

[Ending] Happy

[Review & Rating] By cynlynn.
I fell for the guy. Grouchy, awkward, a walking medical self-hazard with the emotional range of a porcupine and the heart of a marshmallow. What more can I ask for? xD Which is exactly why I'm glad he's someone else's.

Rating: 4/5 ♥♥ Short, light, hilarious, and unexpectedly sweet when it counts.
