Well Intended Love (2019)

This drama can go in two ways. Some people feel disgusted by the plot and others feel warm and fuzzy inside after watching. This may have only been me, but I was in between the whole time.

Beginning ep 1-6:
When I started this drama was a perfect cliche, but I happen to love cliches so it worked out well; the wealthy businessman, the illness and the marriage contract where they fall in love. It was cute and I liked it, the main cast had so much chemistry and I loved the side characters too.

Middle ep 7-14:
This is where things start. First, we have another cliche *spoiler* car crash and then amnesia. Pretty basic though and I wasn't worried. Episode 10 and 11 are where people choose their sides. A crazy plot twist turns a majority of people against the main male lead. and i agree:
He's possessive, creepy and overall seems to be toxic, but the show almost portrays it as true wonderful love at first sight. It's not. Don't recommend if you can sense these details even with a cover-up as love. But I kept watching.
*spoiler**spoiler*
they get back together, i know so unexpected
after that things happen but it's still very cliche and kidnapping and trickery, all that fun stuff

Ending 15-20:
I didn't really concentrate on it because I was disturbed, but there were some cute moments that made me doubt my disgust. Surprise! A child is born and it's a happy ending (or so we're told)

Honest opinion:
Many people say this is a cute, heartwarming show and they recommend it. I understand because I thought so myself but after the twist, I was unable to rethink anything. The beginning is very misleading to their relationship and I personally would not recommend it to the soft-hearted or anybody suffering from a toxic relationship. Overall the acting was wonderful as it fully disgusted me and made me feel horrible for the female lead, the music was not super memorable, but after watching, I would never be able to watch it again, especially given that I usually don't rewatch any shows except the forgettable web dramas

There was so many times during this show where I literally sat here and said “this show is f*king stupid” lmao. I understand where everyone was coming from with the spoiler of her finding out about her illness because obviously dude is mad crazy and she’s even more wild for forgiving him. There was literally no point to this whole story. It was like watching a Thai Lakorn in Chinese. Lmaooo. It was literally like a slap and kiss except they were actually really sweet but there was kidnapping and betrayal and attempted murder, like bruhhh. Lmao. I binged watched this show because I was bored and had nothing better to do but there was also a huge part of me that has to just keep pushing through because there were sweet moments, I was in it for the kisses for sure and the acting was not terrible at all, but god the show was honestly horrible! Lol. Like I sat here and was like what did I even watch? Like this show had potential and 20 episodes was perfect but I swear, I think I lost brain cells watching this. I’m not a huge fan of the main male lead because I watched him in I cannot hug you and I thought he’d be better in this show but he was not. Everyone else wasn’t bad at all; so if I’m gonna be honest, this show is pretty bad, like it had potential to be good and it ended up crashing and burning. But will I recommend you watch it? Honestly yeah. To kill time, to relieve your curious mind since you probably read millions of reviews in this show like I did; I wasn’t satisfied at all but glad to get it off my list. I wasn’t even disappointed; I was just like not surprised. Lol.

When reading the description of this show it looked right up my alley. I tend to like these kinds of shows and in the beginning this show really had me. I story was interesting and the actors pull it off really well. Out two leads actually have really good chemistry I found.

****SPOILERS***SPOILERS***** SPOILERS****


The biggest problem with this show is that fact that that the male lead made the female lead believe she had cancer when she really didn't. I know that all these shows have to have some kind of liar reveal but this one is one of the worst. For some reason this one rubbed me the wrong way making her believe she was sick just to get her to fake marry you that is really f'ed up. Luckily the show doesn't spend a lot of time on it, she is mad about it fro like an episode and a half, then gets over it and they are back together but when ever I think about this lie I just start to like the main male lead less and the show as a whole less. If you can get over this lie then the show is good but this lie is the deal breaker also understandable and just stir clear of this show.

This drama isn't as you think it is, These episodes are too much, this isn't just your normal drama, this is a VERY DRAMATIC DRAMA.


!!!!!SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER !!!!!
!!!!!SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER !!!!!
!!!!!SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER !!!!!










This drama is a love triangle, This is a drama containing a MARRIAGE CONTRACT, At first I thought it was an innocent, sweet and a lovely drama, when it got to the point when Ling told Mumu that she has to marry him to get a donation for her sickness leukemia, just..How ABSURD, And suddenly this new guy pops up saying he's the son of Ling's mother and everything went crazy. This is a Drama full of plot twists that doesn't even make sense, later on Mumu found out her sickness was fake and ling made it like she had that sickness, I just cant, WHY WOULD YOU FAKE THAT JUST FOR MARRIAGE? Just simply attract her! honestly, In my opinion i dont like it that much, The Story is too complicated.

I often read drama reviews from forums to check for their opinions & this is the first time I got so disappointed. I guess most of drama enthusiasts these days aren't ready for this kind of topic yet. But kudos to the team for gambling w/ this kind of issue.

Tbh at first, I was so disappointed when I learned abt him hiring bodyguards to follow his wife discreetly. I know it was just to protect her but it was too much. He should've asked for her opinion first.

And yes, the first few scenes was cringey. I was wondering why the ML is so clingy and flirty when he just married a STRANGER. He was never cold when it comes to his wife (wc should never be the case when it comes to plots like this) 🤔

Also, I was quite baffled w/ his unusual actions when in fact, they're just on a contract marriage. Ex:
1. Make their marriage longer (up to 7yrs)
2. Announce it to public
3. All of his assets must be shared w/ her
4. He's happy when his money is spent lavishly
5. He made her manage his weibo acct

Another point is, he was CONSISTENT. Most dramas with "contract marriage" plots have mean and cold male leads. But LYZ was not. From the beginning, he was already patient and considerate. He lets his wife decide on things as long as it doesn't harm her.

And then the PLOT TWIST came. His way of thinking was really bizarre, pretty farfetched. He was selfish (wc is probably bc he was left by his mom at a young age). And it was all due to a mental issue, a trauma. But I cannot disregard the fact that he tried.

He tried. He asked for her forgiveness. And then he slowly realized his mistakes & did his best to correct it. Flawed leads like him need patient partners, & she was a perfect example of that. She waited until he understands his mistakes & then forgave him.

Overall, the drama was well-written to be honest. But I guess one should have a broad mind first before understanding these points. Dealing with mental issues is definitely hard. 😅

The main couple are honestly fukcing adorable together and their chemistry is off the charts

I'm actually so glad that they paired Xu Kai Cheng and Simona Wang together ugh honestly,,,,, the flavour jumped out

the plot, however, is soo cliche but uh i'm not complaining though lmfao i luv me some rich daddies

Tbh this show is actually pretty good if you just try to ignore the whole fact that the main lead is a psychopath and all lol. However, it's a good thing the drama did a good job of pinpointing his personality (??) and showed his character development in the later episodes where he was able to change his ways


Also,,, not that anybody cares, but uh i watched this on a site where it said it had 22 episodes and it turned out there was only 20 and damn that made me so sad bc i actually waited till the weekend so i could end it on a rlly happy note on the last two episodes i thought it had

GUYS IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO WATCH THIS DO NOT HESITATE, TRY IT. I don't know why so many people do not like this drama. If you are too critical and too cynic of a person, You shouldn't watch too much dramas. if these dramas affect your principles in life, then might as well drop this. I know it touches a very sensitive topic and seriously that thing is really disturbing. But i must advice, be ready with dramas like this. I can't say this is really very good, because personally i do have my favorites too. But i cannot deny how this drama differs to the ones i am used to watching; some fluffy, feel good dramas that won't stress you out, some that gives you a right dose of romance and sweetness. I want to give this drama a justice. Inspite of having a really wierd plot, i liked it too because it doesn't follow the trend of a typical idol drama. It depicts a very unusual kind of character, which is in the embodiment of Ling Yi Zhou. OK I KNOW, HE IS CREEPY AND AS YOU SAY 'PSYCHO'. But have you ever considered his past? Being into too much dramas for the past 10 years of my life, i become very understanding of each characters that i watch in dramas, I try to analyze their actions and it's reasons. While watching their actions, i take into account these characters' personality, their background. I cannot blame you for naming him as a psycho, but have it ever occurred to you it's his way of expressing his love? Maybe what happened to his past, his mother leaving him, that is what triggers him to become this obsessive or possessive. He's afraid that this one person (Xia Lin) that he truly cherish the most might leave him again just like his mom. That being said he took the risk and do things that he thought was right. Cause I have said, he lacked motherly love, or plainly the feeling of being loved and reciprocating it to someone (in the general sense). If you payed attention to this drama more, maybe you should have think that this is just a drama. although being fictional, maybe this thing really happens around the world and you just doesn't have an idea about it. I'm not saying stalking, being obsessive, drugging and such are good things. but wtf, seriously? THIS IS A DRAMA, NOT A DOCUMENTARY OR A REALITY SHOW. IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR A LOVEY-DOVEY, LIGHT-HEARTED, FLUFFY, SWEETNESS OVERLOAD DRAMA THAT WILL NOT STRESS YOU OUT YOU WOULD WANT TO PUKE. THEN LADIES AND GENTLEMAN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

I like Yi Zhou and Xia Lin sweet scenes the most. I liked how Yo Zhou love Xia Lin (putting possessiveness and obsession aside) that he made those things for her. I like how Xia Lin still strives to achieve her dreams, being an independent girl and how she doesn't take the opportunity of being with Yi zhou to be more famous. This kind of drama is so rare that really gets you into a roller coaster ride, especially in Chinese dramas where plots were just the same as others. I liked how they made Yi Zhou's character that differs him to other male lead CEO's in other dramas. They put something real in his personality, not a copy cat from other dramas.

The supporting characters also gave justice to their roles, i liked how mysterious Wen Li is, and how he handles Feifei. Feifei being a good friend and spicing up Wen Li's character. I think the antagonists are good enough to make things worse for the leads. Many cdramas don't have evil people like what this drama has, and there's also scenes that has gun, drugging, hypnotizing. A very unusual thing for modern c dramas that i have watched as of today. it is tagged as MELODRAMA, HELLO????! wtf are y'all syin'?

The OST was okay, songs that were played were very suitable for each scenes.

I don't want to elaborate the things that i don't like more. cause you can clearly see many of it in this comment section. I'd just like to give another point of view for the drama. Honestly. while I was watching and was enlightened about it's twists and turns, really said to myself. "This drama should have a 'fucked-up' tag". But again i will say I REALLY APPRECIATED THIS AND IT IS FINE TO WATCH THIS. If you want to watch this and see the comments and especially THE REVIEWS ahead, do not mind what other people say. Let YOU be the one who will judge the drama. But if you really do not want to, drop and find what suits your style. As simple as that.

Reached episode 11

If this was a make-believe romcom with a psychological horror twist where the husband turns out to be the villain and the person who is framed as a villain is actually desperately trying to help the girl to escape, this series would've been mind-blowingly clever with a jaw-dropping 180 in the middle.

Alas, it was just a crazy dude stalking her for two entire years after running into her once, lying she has cancer, frauding her into a marriage, and locking her into the house when she finds out :) Not to mention that he had all the money and power to manipulate everything around them to his benefit.

She deserved so much better despite being endlessly annoying, the real villain is the husband who's in serious need of therapy, the so-called villain could've been a hero, Chu Yan carried the entire show, and I've simply had enough.

I don't think I've ever been this disturbed after watching a ROMANCE drama. If this was a thriller I'd be down, but that's obviously not the case here.

**MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD**
It starts out with the cliché of sick FL and macho ceo ML offering a marriage contract. The overall chemistry between them was okay. There were times where the ML would get pushy and "overprotective" (not the good supportive kind but the "don't talk to men" and "don't wear short skirts" kinda protective that we as an audience are supposed to find sexy). But he had remained somewhat respectful or more accurately he wasn't a complete ass to her (the bar is on the floor here).

There is also an amnesia arc here for some reason?????? That does nothing except vilify the already very one dimensional antagonist - the girl best friend and also solidify both the leads feelings for each other.

Then the chilling 10th ep comes. The conflict starts out with the FL getting drugged. Something to note here is that drugging someone is the writer(s) favorite plot device because it has been used 2 times in 10 eps. So anyway, the FL goes to a hospital for a checkup where the doctor asks for her previous diagnosis. She then finds her original test report with the ML which says her tests were normal. So, this man basically stalked a woman and manipulated her into thinking she has CANCER and more or less forced her to sign a marriage contract. This woman had to agree to marry a stranger and put her career on hold all to receive treatment for an illness she didn't even have.

I don't even have to watch the rest of the show to know that she ends up with him and I definitely don't plan on wasting more time with this and neither should you :)

PS I would give OVERALL and REWATCH a 0 but it won't let me do it.
