Love The Way You Are | Review

She turns fat once she consumes greater than 1000 calories lol.  Wonder how her fat suit works....(apparently she puts on hand gloves as well. No wonder her hands were so chubby too).

I feel as though Chinese dramas are trying to recreate Love O2O CP. These two are another perfect couple with tiny bits of flaw only the other can fix. Cute. Lovely. The secondary couple are also adorable. Best to watch it in one go. Ren Dong Shen has this undying love for her whether she's skinny or fat. She's pampered by his love but is still insecure. It'a a drama where she learns to love herself and allow him to love her. A drama for girls to envy her and love Ren Dong Shen, mmhm.
