Not a Typical CEO / Cinderella Love Story

The drama title was at first intriguing me, now I get it why, the " fireworks" means" sparks" not literally. Main Couple started on fast marriage proposal before falling in love, no chemistry in the beginning. As the story progresses, it all changed, misunderstanding, jealousy, assumptions and listening to other's opinions that I truly dislike. Just finished watching.
Loved this modern drama with a cultural and moral values. Showcasing craftmanship, local art talents, embracing and learning from them, and respect for the elderly and most vulnerable ones, realizing that no one really protects the disadvantaged laborers. I am very pleased with the ending - It's a 10 for me. I wish I can see more positive story plot dramas like this. No annoying SML and SFL characters. The most thing I liked was the reversal of role where the female lead is portrayed as strong support to her man not just a wife but an equal partner. I respect both of them and their love for each other.

Dream to escape reality

Very interesting drama of redemption. Making up for mistakes you made. I have to watch Hua Qian's eloquent dialogues is what I like the most about. I really admire Zhou Ye's acting prowess. I saw her at Love Me Love My Voice, totally different kind of romance from this - the reason I watched Scent of Time. I wanted to see more of Zhou Ye.
After episode one I knew, I would want to continue watching more episodes. I thought I will see some kissing scenes but none. That did not stop me though. Even without it, I was very interested on what she will do and say next. All the supporting cast including the main leads acted very well. I really like the ending that's for sure unexpected, she created Rong Zhou in her dream because of the trauma she experienced in real life. He symbolized her safety someone she can rely on for help, protector savior, worth living for. Rong Zhou played a very important part in making her wake up from her dream and return to Xi Wu whom she really had feelings for.

About making choices, greed and doing the right thing

I like this drama based on fantasy and supernatural. As human we tend to make decisions irrationally, then get you into trouble feeling regrets. The demon or angel in the story just gives you the feeling that there is no other way out but to take the deal from him. Dunno if I will do that. In my opinion this drama had presented a lot of whys and how the hell questions for me with those situations feeling helpless and desperate. We argue, hate and destroy each other, and we also love, help and save each other in the end. Happiness comes from misfortunes? and other trivial things. Feeling happy IMO is all different experience. It's an okay drama for me. I cried a little over the FL feeling sad and alone in some scenes with flashbacks of losing parents and having to love your savior and be abandoned again. Will I rewatch this? maybe or maybe not.

Never wanted a couple to find the way back together more than this one!

This was a beautifully well written story, and I loved it. I cried, got angry, laughed and happy for all. I binged watched from episodes 1-36 for 2 days. This couple deserved to be happy with all they went through. Wang Xiyi really loved Chen Jiaxin and didn't give up on her. Glad he gave up on Anna, who hurt him so many times to find his true love and happiness. Was surprised that XiYi and Jiaxin had never filed for divorce from the Civil Affairs Bureau. So sad that they loss the baby to go through hell to get happiness in the end. So glad Anna lost in the end because she was just evil and selfish, and I truly hated her. Glad Dylan found his sister and hope he helps her to turn her life around and find true love for himself. Glad Anson found happiness with his crazy wife because I was worried with her ego, he might walk away from her.
The chemistry between the main actors is amazing and actually all the characters touched me so much.
Glad the ending scene was on the cruise where it all started. Although the final episodes were a bit frustrating and disappointing, I liked this C-drama mainly because of Liang Jie and Xing Zhaolin. Swoon worthy couple with their kissing and hug scenes.
I also watched the Korean version of this drama Fated to Love You. Same feels.

Bubbly and no angst drama

I liked this youth drama where the leads are so good in their roles and the chemistry was great. As young as they are, definitely gave me the vibe of two lovers with tacit understanding of what was important for them to continue their loving relationship as a couple as they mature into adulthood. Their kissing scenes were swoon worthy and will give you butterflies. The female lead was very funny, and she was perfect in this role, she played it well the awkwardness and being their first of everything that a young person does. Supporting actors were given good character development too. From being nerdy characters into a mature look. I liked that the male lead is one handsome dude with nice physique. Somewhat pleasing to watch him. After this, I guess he'll have more projects in the future. Good job! I can re-watch this rom/com drama for sure.

Love is like math with all possibilities!

I really love the story of two people who in the world think that can be married, with opposite personalities as Student - Professor with high IQ but low EQ and one with high EQ but low IQ. The main leads are excellent in their roles. Romantic scenes are sweet and funny got me hooked and laughing in most of the episodes because both of them were experiencing first love after flash marriage. Si Nian is the perfect Husband of the Century in the end to Yun Shu. I liked that he prepared to do list for her on the day to go abroad for job at the Kobayashi Studio. I can't even dislike the third wheel ex-classmate Chu Chu because she was just curious why Si Nian ended with Shun Yu believing the theory of two people with same goals as they, did not end up together. And every answer Si Nian to her questions scored perfect 10 for me.
Other couples did okay with their roles too. I highly recommend this drama if you like romantic comedy.

More business than romance

Likes and Dislikes:
I learned that business management culture is really cutthroat - this a reality.
Strong female character. Cold male character in the beginning. Great kisser at the end but lacking swoon worthy moments.
I can't rewatch this drama because it was too much of business story lines.
What I liked the most was the SML and SFL (Xuan Xuan and Lin Hao) after 7 yrs. together the true colors came out. I liked how the besties help her in getting back on the cheating husband with baseball bats. I was cheering for them. So happy for Xuan Xuan that she had her business partner Yi Fei gave her moral support. All is fair in love, no matter what age gap is. What's important is that they're honest and faithful to each other.
For the third couple - hooray for them too. It's not easy to lose your Mojo. Glad they worked it out and expecting a second child.
Would I watch this drama again? No.

Not much of a romance

What I did not like about the Story
I was so disappointed on how many times Lin Wo would play like a victim here. I thought she loves him and promised to be by each other's side no matter what. This is what I dislike about the story. It was too tiring to watch both of them go at too many misunderstandings and lies. And Gao Shan, how can he not tell her the truth about his intentions first before sending the evidence to the police? That was just so dumb. Then I find Lin Wo having health issues because of what happened to her Dad. More so, Bei Xiao Rong got in the way of them getting back together again. I find her Dad to be the most reasonable man here because at the end he wanted his daughter to be happy and he knew Gao Shan is her happiness not Bei Xiao Rong.
There were episodes I skipped; the story was a bit boring at first. Oh, it did not satisfy my curiosity on romantic scenes. I won't rewatch this drama like others for example: To Be With You & Tears In Heaven. They could have wrapped up the story with fewer episodes, instead they made it more complicated. I love watching modern dramas were there aren't too many complicated revenge plots and where main leads have excellent chemistry, but these dramas failed my expectations.

What a betrayal

Wow! Perfect story of manipulation and betrayal. Totally clear that you can be manipulated when it comes to assumption of trusting or liking someone you don't know fully. You really have to look in the mirror and ask yourself to get a clear mind of making the right choices and decisions with your life. She just realized that when she walked away from him in prison, lesson learned.
I really liked this kind of movies - suspense thriller. I was rooting for her and her friends at the yacht to save her or she would have been killed by Seong Yeol. At first, I was putting my trust on him too and thinking how he and her would get away with the murder or scheme after. Greed and revenge usually do not have good outcome. They will eat you up.

For mature audience only

I love the sex scenes done so naturally by all the actors in this short drama. It's so refreshing to see how the female lead wants, to find her true self after the break-up from her past relationship/// sex toys, dildos etc... I laugh a lot on these scenes esp. when they were shopping for them in the store. Thankful for her bestie, bbf introducing them to her. I enjoyed watching all 8 episodes - the plot story about two couples with their views on love and relationship. The person I admire most is In Chan, an ideal boyfriend wanting to fall in love with HeeJae and not just have sex with her. I love the fact that he was willing to wait for her. I think he understood that she did not just want him to be used (on a rebound relationship) by her. She needed time to find herself, love herself and be loved in return. I was happy that they get to meet again. Same with Mi Na, she found her second chance on falling in love after all the casual sex with sex partners and Woo Jae was perfect for her. They were destined to be together. Definitely a 10 for rewatch.
