I couldn't say that I like this story because of how ML and MC's parent treated MC really disturbed me.

MC's parent really treated MC like some sort of livestock. They're ready to throw MC to any man who was good enough just so she could get married quickly. And when ML proposed to MC, MC's parent readily agreed without asking MC's opinion (she obviously disagreed btw). That's your own daughter for God's sake. What will happen if you forced her to marry and then she ended being unhappy?

ML was no better than MC's parent. He previously rejected MC and made her heartbroken but then after they met again, he directly proposed to her in front of her parent out of the blue. What happened to giving an explanation and dating? Indeed in the end, he explained the reason why he rejected her back then but still, he should explain it at that time so she won't be too sad. I also hate it when he slept with her when she was drunk. What happened to mutual consent?

The story rises with the FL being twenty-five years old who is forced by her own mother to go on numerous blind dates, while FL in the house is trying to make an excuse to go to work, her mother tells that neighborhood Aunt will come with her own nephew in some time, then they come and FL is made to stay. The thing is, it tells from FL's memory that FL confessed to the nephew, which is the ML, and was rejected by ML, but then he comes with his aunt and wants to marry ML, the problem is that it doesn't tell the reason there. After FL being called on the phone by ML numerous times, she gives in to a restaurant to "talk". Cause FL says in her mind, not accurately from me but you'll get the meaning: "hmph, I'm not afraid of you, I'll eat you", FL told maybe as a joke that she will eat him, and at the restaurant, the FL drinks wine, ML told her that she drinks too much, but didn't stop her hands (t.t=rip), and the FL being drunk asks the ML why did he come back or why did he want to marry her, and even asked the ML why did he refuse her while being drunk, the answer isn't clearly answered, and at a hotel (the description of the world isn't detailed that much, just that they went at a restaurant, maybe restaurant+hotel in one building) they had ***. I was shocked, honestly, really shocked about the ML being a beast and cornering FL like this, though it is FL's fault too, you made that mistake become even higher?... they weren't even married to do this, ML clearly out of character by the author. So I gave up on the novel, I just didn't want to swallow this sh##. It's the beliefs too from Korea and China about females really, being forcibly influenced the female or FLs most of the time to get married, ok blind dates aren't that bad, most of the time it's for convenience to each other... I'm surprised that I am not the only one who gave 1 star, 8 others too, their opinion was thought logically and broadminded.

P.S. Bed scene, just told that they did it...

Good night. <<less

This oneshot is just a so-so for me. It's short so it's normal not to have much fluff and such but what I'm not very fond of is that somehow the FL was at a disadvantaged position in this relationship. I don't approve how the ML barged in her life again just like that without making it up to her first, rather, he was actually being pushy. I think the FL deserves that much after such a long time.

Its good. Since its a radio drama, I bet this wouldve been ten times grande listening to Xins distress over her ten year love for Yang. Things are quite clear with this story. Not to mention that it feels like the idiot-x-smart type of couple, which for me is a downer but eh it works if it works.

Dont be fooled by its format. Give it a read, slow if you want to, and absorb the scenarios. Its quite sweet and spicy, in a wholesome way.

this is full of fluffiness.. Although the MC confessed first, ML though lacks the talk and do the actions though XD it causes some misunderstandings with our MC.
