Well Intended Love Drama Review


Well Intended Love or famously 奈何BOSS要娶我 also known as How, Boss Wants to Marry Me is a Chinese web romantic comedy starring Xu Kai Cheng as Ling Yizhou and Simona Wang as Xia Lin as the main lead. It is recently added onto Netflix as well, which make me find this interesting story.

It's a fun and lighthearted drama with some kind of conspiracies, making it a bit dramatic. A third-rate actress, Xia Lin, with leukemia becomes entangled with CEO Ling because she needs him for treatment. In order to receive bone marrow transplant sooner and to continue her career as an actress, Xia Lin enters into a secret marriage with Ling Yi Zhou, the CEO of a company. Despite the conspiracies and misunderstandings they encounter, the two find true love.
I think what attract me most is because of the male lead, seriously handsome. Xu Kai Cheng is only 28 years old actor which his web series was a hit and led to increased popularity and recognition for Xu Kai Cheng. Although it is true that it is still far for his acting to get him as A-list actor, but he is quite good ad a newcomer.
He has previously appeared in dramas like Moonshine And Valentine and I'm A Pet At Dali Temple.
Simona Wang doesn't seem to get equal attention, but she creates a likeable personality as the leading lady.
Ian Yi is a member of the group "Spexial" and he plays Chu Yan, the best friend of Ling Yizhou.
At first, I really thought of him being a gay, because he's so good at playing that role. To be honest, I do not really like his character, just a mainstream idol, so many scenes of him I skipped.
Yang Haoming who plays Nan Jintian is hard to like cos of being a villain - beside his lips is too red on the show (okay, maybe I am prejudice because I already like Kai Cheng >.<). Yang Haoming make use of An Ran (played by Sun Jiaqi) as his toy to set every traps between Ling Yizhou and Xia Lin. Sadly, true love always wins.
Huang Qianshuo plays Wen Li, the boss's secretary - I love this second lead couple and also his bromance with Ling Yizhou. What a bad boss, bullying his assistant for being single and doesn't even have anyone who misses him. See, he can get someone as well! LOL
By watching this drama, I learnt something, which is kinda important to our lives. I've always thought that marriage should be based on love. That's indeed true, but love is not the only thing. People could get married to someone due to a situation as well, but in the end, certain things has to be set, like being honest and respect each other - that way, marriage life would even be fine. And if you are lucky enough, love would be another taste in your marriage which will complete your happiness.
