The first ten episodes were pure fun but the plot slowly became really vicious and idiotic. Also, the FL was initially undaunted and clever only for her to morph into such a stupid, avaricious idiot. The writers really dropped the ball.

(Xiong Xi Ruo is a young female painter who infiltrates the family home of the powerful Li family to paint a copy of a precious item. However, her escape from the Li home goes horribly wrong and she finds her fate at the mercy of Li family heir Li Hong Bin. On the verge of arrest, Li Hong Bin and Xiong Xi Ruo hatch a lie - they pretend that she is pregnant with his child. This arrangement suits Li Hong Bin fine, as a marriage with Xiong Xi Ruo will help him escape an arranged marriage with the daughter of the Song family.)

It was hard to enjoy the first half of this show after just watching New Life Begins. On that show, despite being forced into an arranged marriage, the main leads were amicable and supportive of each other even if the romance was a very slow burn.

On this one, there's just so much scheming and manipulation between the two leads. They are a good looking couple and had good chemistry but I wish they didn't drag the distrusting each other part for so many episodes.

Sure there were some comedic moments, but it wasn't until the couple were on the same page and are completely honest with each other that I really appreciated watching the series more.

The last 7-8 episodes were really good because the couple actually worked as a team.

I enjoyed the action scenes throughout the series as well.

I really liked the ending because they tied everything up neatly and all the villains got what they deserved.
